Mutation. It is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward. — X-Men

Hear me out: 

A Netflix Catwoman TV show starring Nicole Beharie as the openly bisexual Selina Kyle, a thief who has ended up becoming the protector of a rough neighborhood in Gotham - the Narrows - that gets her tangled up with the mob. David Oyelowo plays Black Mask, a ruthless mob boss who has climbed to the top of Gotham’s underworld and whose cronies are currently terrorizing the Narrows. Arden Cho plays Holly Robinson, Selina’s plucky young protege. Michelle Rodriguez plays Renee Montoya, a tough GCPD detective determined to topple Black Mask’s empire and take Catwoman off the streets all while keeping her rookie partner in check. Katie Cassidy plays Renee’s short-tempered but kind and well-intentioned partner and Lucas Till plays Black Mask’s right-hand man and love interest. Osric Chau plays Robin (Jason Todd? Tim Drake?) who occasionally either helps or hinders Selina, depending on the situation and also gives us incite into how Batman and the rest of the family are doing. We also see romantic Bruce/Selina through flashbacks, e.g. the both of them at glamorous parties, ect. In present day, Tao Okamoto plays Selina’s love interest, a florist whose shop Selina breaks into when she’s on the run from the cops. Harley and Ivy eventually appear down the line, as do other rogues and batfamily members. No one is straight. 

You know what is always gross - but especially in this context? - trying to police when, how & where a woman should smile.

If I had been abused, you bet your ass my girlfriends would have taken me out and tried to distract me and cheer me up and make me smile and laugh immediately after I told them what had transpired. I feel genuinely, deeply sorry for anyone who doesn’t have those kinds of friends. “The Smile Police” can go fuck themselves.

This is really just saying if you come forward with abuse you better not be happy

the scare quotes around ‘physically abusive’

I kept tryna make a good comment but honestly just wtf

the idea of people having to be ‘useful’ is just so gross, like people do not exist to be used

having to produce something and have a use is a capitalist ideal and not an intrinsic part of humanity

just by being alive you are human and you are worth something and you can never be useless

this applies to animals as well

“Having to like DO THINGS is SO OPPRESSIVE. No one had to like DO THINGS before evil capitalism. In ancient times food, water, and shelter just existed and everything was taken care of for me”

Guess what happened to people who didn’t do things before capitalism? They died. Cause if you weren’t hunting, gathering, or useful in some aspect of nature. You were killed, died or starvation, dehydration, or exposure. 

Being useful is literally part of our biology. Fucking moron. You pull some idea out of your ass because you literally don’t want to get off your ass. 

I’m not saying nobody should ever do things ever, I’m saying people don;t have to produce to an arbitrary standard in order to prove their right to live

And if you really think disabled people deserve to die if we can’t ‘contribute’ or be useful in a way you approve of then congrats youre a fucking monster

actually there’s significant evidence in terms of Neolithic burials that disabled people who would not have been able to hunt for themselves (the archaeological evidence mostly shows mobility disabilities because it’s visible in the bone record) were well fed and cared for by their communities

so the “people like you would have been left to die” argument isn’t just cruel and violently ableist, it’s extremely historically inaccurate and based off of projecting modern prejudice on prehistoric cultures

sources because I’m on my laptop now!

note: in the neolithic era, a person in their 40s or 50s would be considered elderly

12,000-year-old burial of a woman about 45 with mobility disabilities both congenital and acquired

burial of a 40-50 year old Neanderthal man who had survived to old age with a deformed right arm and a long-healed head injury that would have made him blind in one eye

neolithic burial of a man in his 50s who lost the use of his left arm in adolescence

neolithic burial of a man in his 40s with evidence of a significant mobility disability caused by an injured hip and leg, some time in adulthood but long before his death

neolithic Asian burial of a man in his 20s with a congenital disorder which would have made him a quadriplegic around age 14. He survived for 10-15 years after that.

5th century burial of child with Down Syndrome

i read somewhere that you can measure the worth of a society by how it treats it’s helpless, elderly and sick and i think that’s totally on to something. this also ties in with the whole “survival of the fittest” garbage that people (mostly violent machismo men) spew without knowing what it actually means.

the inherent idea of productivity = worth IS a product of a culture based off of industrialization and capitalism, anyone who says otherwise is blinded by bias and needs to read some anthropology.

Animals do this, too. There’s a ten year old orca named Tumbo with severe scoliosis. He’s slower than the rest of his pod, but his mother and brother stay with him and help him hunt. He’s a transient, too, which means he travels great distances daily with his pod, and hunts dangerous prey like seals and sharks. Yet despite his disability, his pod takes care of him, and his pod thrives, even with the care they show him.

As someone said above me, a society can be judged by how it treats the sick, elderly and disabled. If animals can show such compassion, what’s a human’s excuse for lacking the same compassion for a fellow human being?
