If the trash pickup people stop doing their job for two weeks you’d be throwing a fucking tantrum. Same for the janitors who keep your office spaces and bathrooms clean. (And that’s before the various illnesses start to spread all over your city from the build up of pathogens.)
The people responsible keeping our spaces clean (and thus, mostly disease-free) should both be paid more AND thanked more.

honest to god we’ve got to start naming the elderly as a vulnerable group & calling their disabilities, disabilities. we sugarcoat and distance these things by only calling them “elderly,” “old & frail,” etc. most of them are disabled.
too many people completely separate disability from themselves in their mind. it’s something that happens to other people. other sad people i don’t want to think about. are they really even people, it’s too much to bear thinking about that happening to a person… those background characters over there. it would never be me, i can’t cope with thinking about that possibility.
this mass denialism of the fragility of the human body (YOUR human body) has created a whole category separate from the disabled - the “elderly.” since anyone can join it if they live long enough.. no they can’t be disabled. that’s scary, and worse it’s political. so they are just “old.” so what they lost their hearing, their mobility, their heart function? that’s just how it goes for old people. as if that’s not a person as real as you. as if you wouldn’t be devastated if that happened to you today (and it can btw). as if you won’t be when it’s your turn to be old, and disabled.
simultaneously the disabled are dehumanized as not people, and the elderly are dehumanized as not disabled. so the illusion of disability as separate can be upheld.
Listen to me. I. Will die. On this hill.

My grandparents lived to 98 and 103. Read that again— 98 and 103. My grandmother died 5 months ago and was born in 1923.

She was extremely wealthy. My grandfather left her millions. She paid about 13,000 a month for her care.
And her nurses abused her. She could do nothing. She could not speak for herself, feed herself, clothe herself, and the humiliation they made her endure was disgusting. When she tried to express discomfort, they gave her drugs to “keep her calm” (keep their shift easy). We fought like HELL to hold that fucking place accountable. The only reason we were aware is because we hired a private nurse on her behalf, too.
The elderly are a massive, extremely vulnerable, and disabled group. You cannot leave them out of your advocacy, you cannot leave them out of the conversation. “They’re loud, they smell, they’re opinionated, they’re rude, they make me uncomfortable”. I don’t care. I don’t care! They need your advocacy too! I want you to think, if my grandmother— who was in the best retirement home she could afford, with a personally hired third-party nurse to step in where the other carers failed, had such abhorrent care… what about everyone else? What about all the elderly who don’t have a support system?
Don’t leave them out.

Analyzing the politics of a work that’s meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be “political” in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator’s beliefs?
Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw
Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it’s possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.
I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS
I went outside and got an education, that’s where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.
So actually if you really wanted to use your analysis skills you’d realize that what people are annoyed about is the implication that there’s never a story or creative work they can create that can escape people like you attempting to assign political meaning to it when they just don’t want that. That in fact people’s presumptions about life are not, in fact, political (at best they are cultural, which is not an inherently facet of politics). And that by you people arrogantly pushing this idea you are intruding on the fact that a lot of people use fiction as escapism from politics and insisting that “urm no actually your favourite cartoon actually has politics cause no human being is 100% unbiased” is in fact, supremely fucking annoying
“Stop having fun wrong, it ruins my fun when you have fun wrong, it’s not enough for me to just scroll past the analysis I don’t like, if anyone anywhere is saying that the cartoon exists in a political context that’s undermining my enjoyment of it!”
That’s you. That’s what you sound like.

I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter was one of the best works of sci-fi of our generation and one of the best works of transgender fiction ever written, and there are world renowned authors who still have successful careers after they publicly assassinated the nascent woman who wrote it. I don’t think they should ever know peace.
Isabel Fall is the patron saint of works unwritten and art unmade by a culture that cannot tolerate trans women
I think this constantly and then I get angry for thinking it, because trans women should not have to be martyrs or saints to animate our politics and our art. that work should have been her debut, not her epitaph. I should be moved by her career, not her absence. I could spit.

whats cool about being trans is my parents are totally right. i did kill their beautiful son. im the thing that animates his corpse in an ever more convincing parody of a happy girl. i devoured him from the inside out and now there is nothing left of him and he is dead dead dead and there is only me, with my hollow eyes and dark eyeliner and long hair, and my big smile. my limp, effeminate gestures belie the marionetting of the boy they loved. my fagginess is his death. already his body becomes a fitter home for my parasitism in full; the tits, the hips, the thighs. sorry about your kid. thanks for the biomass <3

look i understand your frustration with “cis women boundaries”. but we can’t just say “other people don’t get to have boundaries if it makes it harder for me to be safe” because that is a one-way ticket to authoritarianism. What we can do is make safe spaces for trans women, and choose on a case-by-case basis if they include cis women or not. Keep in mind too, not every trans woman feels safe sharing a space with cis women… and they deserve safe spaces too.

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 01:13:44 -0400

I daresay most of us don't feel safe sharing spaces with cis women, lol. systemic discrimination against marginalized women is not "boundaries" it's discrimination. if you're uncomfortable with a group of marginalized women, that's called bigotry, and it's never at any time in history been a good justification for discrimination. and no we are not going to do "separate but equal" get serious

raggedyrobin:

Anon recognizes cis women harm and traumatize us constantly, but we're the ones who are expected to conform to cis women's "boundaries" and create our own spaces.
Maybe cis women should be the ones to go pee in outhouses, gender neutral bathrooms that are never taken care of, or in the men's bathroom when those other options are completely unavailable. Maybe they should go stay in general shelters or on the street when they're homeless. They'll never be systematically and violently forced to do any of that the same way trans women and transfems are.

thedreamthieves:

i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

all the “peer pressure is bad” education we give kids is practically useless because all it cares about is telling them that Drugs Are Evil rather than the much more useful lesson of ‘the person who responds to you saying you don’t drink by telling you they’ll find a way to get you to is also going to be shitty about all your other boundaries’.
god forbid you teach kids that their consent should be respected rather than about the inherent immorality of all the sinful actions of their peers

A boundary is like “you can’t come in my room because it’s private” or “I don’t like hugs” or “if you are too loud I will have to leave until it gets quiet again” “You can’t come in this homeless shelter because you’re a dirty tranny” is not a boundary. “You can’t come in this homeless shelter because you’re a dirty tranny” kills people.

mousidy:

I really think the only reason any version of separate but equal actually works for cis women is because white, cisgender women are like the only marginalized group that the white supremacist patriarchy actually considers a core part of its fabric
the rest of us are treated as disposable trash, and I greatly doubt that any facilities the patriarchy could be strong-armed into creating just for us would be meaningfully "equal" in any way. and all this just cause you don't wanna pee within 20 feet of us at walmart

Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
