You will post about how much you hate porn and then go on to uncritically reblog the porniest, most sexually objectifying photos of young women in extremely high stilettos, fishnets, underwear, droplets of water beading down her cleavage, topless with just her arms or some prop to cover her nipples, wet t-shirts you can see through, bending over, on her knees, pouting, eyes closed, mouth open, biting her lip, looking expectantly up at the camera...
How do you not see it for what it is?

They should invent an essay where you just do research forever and then you never write anything

B-17 bomber is riddled with German anti-aircraft fire but miraculously survives. Later they discover the explosive shells were all inert; sabotaged by Nazi slaves working in armament factories.
Inside one empty shell is a written note: it's all we can do for you now.
The most important part of all this is that these small acts of bravery and noncompliance cannot be known as long as the enemy still stands, and might never be known. Just because it doesn’t seem like anyone is doing anything doesn’t mean it’s true. The best malicious compliance or subtle sabotage is the one that’s never detected, but makes ravages nonetheless.
A critical part of any resistance is
Do not brag. Do not look for brownie points. Do not publicly recruit. Keep your mouth shut.

Hi kief… what are your thoughts on prison abolition?
mixed. I'd love to see prison abolished, the theories around prison abolition are things that align with my values. however, I find prison abolitionists lacking answers in practical solutions to violence, especially with regards to gendered violence. the most sophomoric of the armchair theorists seem happy to believe in a fantasy that any individual crime is just a crime of poverty and completely unversed in the endless research on domestic violence. I'm not impressed with the idea that men who are acting out their paternal right to beat women can be reformed with...what, therapy? universal income? It seems often the solutions to these harder issues that fall outside of (or in conjunction with) systemic poverty and systemic racism are treated as an annoyance and inconvenience, and that with pressure to answer the "solutions" just sound like prison that looks nicer to a liberal. We won't imprison them in prison, we'll imprison them in a half way house. Run by whom? The state? Uhm. And who puts them there? No, not the police....the, uh, social workers. With extra legal powers. Who are employed by whom? The state? Uhm?? It's like the prison system with extra steps and nicer vocabulary that just seems destined to disintegrate into what we have now once funding runs out. You know...like everything.
And nothing gets my goat more than how flip some people can be to abused women who ask questions. If your response to a woman who asks "who do I call when my husband beats me" in response to abolishing police is some sort of snide "why would you call the police they statistically won't help you and will make it worse" is openly admitting the solution is for her to shut the fuck up. I hate the police, but call me a bootlicker one thousands times over I will never talk to an abuse victim like that. I will never tell her the one solution you can think of is stupid, and in the meantime stop bringing it up. I think abused women are incredibly inconvenient to prison and police abolitionists, and time and time again I see the most callous language thrown at them. So, if I'm to take someone's arguments seriously, I want to see them demonstrate some fucking concern about women's safety or else I'm just going to disregard them as not worth the consideration.
I always find it a useful exercise to ask if men are willing to consider first prioritizing women. Like for example: what about abolition of women's prisons to start? I think most leftist men would balk at that suggestion but why not?

Some of the greatest female and homosexual minds of my generation have been lost to astrology and tarot cards.
This note was written by a child who was listening in on a bunch of artists discussing art and life.
Idk if y'all are familiar with the phrase "anything worth doing is worth half-assing," but I honestly think radblr would benefit from approaching separatism from that angle. Like, separatist action doesn't have to be full and complete severance from the male population; it can be as small as choosing a female doctor, attending an all-women book club, making dedicated time for female friends and family members, talking to/learning from older women in our lives...
Complete isolationist separatism is just not realistic for a lot of women, and since that model of separatism is the main one discussed in rad spaces, women who aren't able to pursue that lifestyle end up feeling discouraged or like they can't center women effectively. So separatism remains a very niche and elusive form of activism for most women in the world.
I think meeting women where they are is a huge part of feminism and the pursuit of female community and liberation; surrounding oneself with women who come from all different backgrounds, communities, contexts is critical for developing fully-rounded and intersectional praxis that takes into account the variable needs of women both inter- and intraculturally. There's a tendency in any space, real or virtual, to seek out others with the same viewpoint, but growth (emotional or intellectual) comes from interacting with a richly diverse group, and wrestling with unfamiliar or even uncomfortable viewpoints - working through that friction - rather than running back to the familiar - strengthens and enriches understanding, and informs activism that reflects this more nuanced mindset.
