UPCOMING PROTESTS

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

PALESTINIAN BUSINESSES

Maria Skłodowska-Curie's notebooks are crazy once you think about it. They're so radioactive they have to be sealed in a lead box. Imagine a world where atomic theory is forgotten and a dude just goes "yea there's a book that details the secrets of the universe, the machinations of the creation of existence down to its barest essentials, but if you get close to it you fucking die. The more you read it the more your body slowly disassembles into mush." like wat excuse me

i like when u hear a good song and then go seek out the music video and find its insane in an unrelated way. miss doechii why are we in the swamp. i mean i fuck with your vision but i have questions.

watching people on this post give the absolute worst advice about photos at protests is why I play avoid-the-camera so diligently and I am prepared to smash cameras at all times

part of my role is going to people and gently saying "hey please stop taking photos of people without their consent. that can be dangerous for the people in the photos and you were asked not to at the start of the rally/march" and I have had people threaten to punch me over it so........

just stop taking photos. I don't care if they're "just for you" or if you "plan to redact them" you have no idea what situation someone is in and your photos will never be secure. if you want to take a photo just ask people in it first.

and of course they're always like "well what about those people taking photos" and I explain that "those people are known to our community and know who does and doesn't want a photo. people have already consented or not consented at past events to that person's photos and they know this" or "thanks for pointing that out I will talk to them too because they also should not be taking photos." this also, of course, does not solve the conflict and they continue taking photos anyways.

I have my own tactics for stopping photos when someone refuses that don't involve smashing cameras but they tend to escalate things anyways.

just stop. I'm so tired. just stop.

ALSO, JUST FOR THE RECORD!!!! If you are refusing to stop taking photos of people you look like a cop.

just look at these fluffy motherfuckers. i want ten of them

You can begin this process at any time, regardless of how old you have become.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made

— Quote by Leslie Feinberg, from TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.

not to be an asshole but i think a lot of disability discourse on this website cannot comprehend the idea of being physically disabled in a way which is like. not at all negotiable or flexible. like i think it's great that we're pushing people to understand that disability is nuanced and that there are disabilities which are not visible forms of physical disability but also like. sometimes you straight up cannot climb stairs. no not even on a good day not even when you "have enough spoons" it is just not physically possible. or you cannot get on and off a bus without struggling or without help. or it is physically not possible for you to bathe yourself. and it's not about "and you force yourself to push through it because of the internalized ableism" because you literally cannot physically fucking do it. like i am not trying to be mean but i feel like it frequently strikes me that people talking about disability seemingly do not understand the concept of I Literally Cannot Do This No Matter How Much I Want To Or Try Like It Is Physically Not Possible

#google translate does not capture the tone switch so i have to say. first two sentences are like. normal maybe kind of feminine posting tone #& the last is like. shounen manga protagonist. action movie hero. jojo's bizarre adventure character. #the tone you would use if you were holding a gun with the safety off (– @chadlesbianjasontodd)

"I can do a lot with 15 minutes" me too Sabrina for example um a essay

it's so important to me to be nice to the student employees on campus and make their jobs as easy as I can and be really effusive thanking them and complimenting then when they've done good. even the ones I don't know. especially the ones I don't know. I was that thankless student employee and I remember what it felt like to be making just enough money to make rent and nothing else. and also how terrible being an undergrad is in general. one of the students I advise told me one that nobody ever tells them when they're doing a good job, which is why I always try really hard to gas up their ideas and let them know I'm proud of them and make sure they know when I'm impressed with what they've accomplished. it costs so little to use my position to just be kind.

I received an email from a student employee apologizing profusely for overlooking a small matter I'd asked to clarify and you like, you can tell that she's been advised to really go overboard whenever it looks like someone with any authority over her (ie, virtually anyone) might be unhappy. I told her she didn't need to apologize, that she'd been really helpful and had done absolutely everything I asked of her. the small delay didn't negate that she clearly knows her job and how to do it very well. I hate the customer service script that teaches these kids to feel stupid even if they've done everything right and only expect feedback when there's a complaint. if I could top them all fifty dollars in cash I would.

Me, reblogging from anyone I don't follow: I'm introducing diversity into the gene pool. This will make my mutuals' dashes stronger and healthier.

Me reblogging old posts: I am reintroducing historical species into the gene pool to hybridize with the dashboard equivalent of pugs, making them stronger and healthier.

Me reblogging legacy posts: there are New Users, young Mutuals who were not here for the Old Times and do not remember the Old Ways. Someone must teach them, lest they be Lost.

Me reblogging 20 posts a day from a new hyper-fixation completely out of left field: I must strengthen the bodies and minds of my followers. Only the most determined will remain, and once we’re through, their resilience will know no bounds

Saying “yeah bro I move exactly like a jumping spider when I get drunk” and then watching everyone flinch every time I tense my legs after taking a sip of my vermouth

Unironically I think the early to mid 20s age group in America has unbelievably bad consent boundaries on all levels and so much language to defend it but this makes me sound like elon musk if I say it however the commonality of someone who will be like “I had 47 panic attacks and it’s your fault” if you tell them no is insane

I rejected someone and got called “the scariest person I’ve ever met” with so much therapy speak interspersed like alright okay alright okay alright okay

“You just say whatever you’re thinking and I don’t know how to handle it” was verbatim part of this conversation. Also everyone hates to see an autistic bitch

When I was in this age bracket, there was a huge emphasis on improving consent culture via graceful rejection, and it's gone by the wayside. Which sucks.

Twice in my youth (once in high school and once in college) I was in situations where I was asking someone out and I could tell they were calculating in their heads the risks of rejecting me, and both times I said, out loud, "you can say no, I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't prepared for either answer." And then they said no. This wasn't some spark of special wisdom I had - I knew to do it because feminist conversations among my age group brought it up regularly. This isn't happening nearly enough anymore.

More recently, I was really glad when we got to "rejection sensitive dysphoria" in my IOP program and it was one of those symptoms where the therapists really emphasized how it affects others. Because it does.

Being someone who cannot handle rejection makes you much more likely to violate boundaries, and yes, that includes sexual ones. Yes, you, reader who has never hurt a fly. If you don't want to stumble backwards into sexually assaulting someone, fix your RSD meltdowns. If you keep them up it's only a matter of time. Because if you're nice enough to interact with, but are known to have RSD meltdowns, guess what happens when your friends and acquaintances need to reject you?

I'm sorry I have to add this it's lived on my comp so long now

The only correct way to play that tbh

pilot: [first day at mech pilot orientation] so like. heres the part i dont get. does this HAVE to be a sex thing, cus i just wanna kill minorities and poor people. thats why i signed up for this job

handler: unfortunately it has to be a sex thing

pilot: aw MAN. can i still kill minorities and poor people

handler: 100%. with reckless abandon, even. but we are gonna have to touch you over it

pilot: i guess its worth it.. i guess..

second pilot: wait i don't wanna kill minorities and brown people i joined over the sex thing. do i have to do that

handler: well. hmm. uh. about that. hm. look we'll hop you up on a ton of military grade drugs and like use weird hypno tech on you so you wont even be fully cognizant for all of it

second pilot: i guess thats not so bad

third pilot: [raising hand] this will still pay for my college degree right

handler: it will definitely pay for your college degree

third pilot: alright im game

fourth pilot: wait these minorities and poor people deserve it right. like. they attacked us first right

handler: ohh yyeaaaaahhh absolutely no yeah this is all 100% justified don't worry

second pilot: wait they attacked us first? okay i dont have any reservations here this seems fine

third pilot: i'm just doing this to get my masters

first pilot: just to clarify i would do it either way. i just want to kill them

second pilot: you're kind of fucked up

first pilot: aren't we all though

handler: ok enough questions, to train you all ive bought our pilot with the most mech time out of her suit to teach you guys the basics

senior pilot: wh.. where is.. where is mmy skin,, wwh.. mmy.. where is.. ohgod,, mmy.. i'm,,, [staring at her hands] oh god what i have i done,,[reaches for the handler's gun and shoots herself in the head]

handler: god fucking damnit not again
