If you come to my blog from my art piece "I am not responsible for your thoughts" this is my disclaimer for you:

That art piece, and every single piece of art I have ever made is trans inclusive. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Genderqueer and gender nonconforming folks are who they say they are.

While that piece was wholly based on my experiences growing up in the Mormon church, trans folks have bodies that are just as regulated, and just as controlled by society's institutions as my body was by the church of my youth and that message, and that theme, is just as much for them as it was for me when I made that piece.

TERFs will not find a welcoming place here for their hate.

Signed,

Your local angry, trans inclusive, genderqueer lesbian🖕

I don't feel like Korra's raw strength is talked about enough. She picks up this full grown man with basically no difficulty!! It should be noted that the Avatar state does NOT affect physical strength, only bending strength. Plus she goes out of the Avatar State while she has him up in the air anyways!!

There are a lot of really good examples of her physical strength throughout the show but this one's probably my favorite because it's just so ridiculous and blatant

Here's a couple season one examples just for the fun of it

Y’all I can’t believe the “whistleblower assassination” and “literally falling apart in the sky” company is being represented by a man named Rich White

You could not call a character this in a movie because everyone would say “that’s not realistic” and yet!

okay but no i had to read this twice to understand his name is Rich as in Richard White.

I thought they were saying their rich white was going to speak. The way someone would say their old man was at home.

I hope someone who sees this video gets through every single one of her security measures to do nothing but put an elf on the shelf somewhere and then never return

I have so many questions.

  1. If whatever she's afraid of needs that many defense mechanisms against it, what the hell is her husband going to do. Why is she so dramatically much more afraid when her husband isn't home
  2. How much did all of this stuff cost
  3. How fast could paramedics or firefighters get into the house in an emergency? How fast could she get OUT of the house in an emergency?
  4. what is that stupid whistle going to do
  5. This is a covert ad for these products isn't it

In all seriousness this is a symptom of one of the most toxic elements of American culture, which is the belief that isolation is more likely to protect you from the danger of other people, than other people are to protect you from the danger of isolation.

Realistically, a medical emergency or house fire is far more likely to occur than being randomly murdered in your own house by a stranger, but this woman "protects" herself from the safety of living in community, thereby exposing herself to the danger of living in isolation.

I'm like, morbidly fascinated to observe how normal American women think it is to fear the entire world. I am American but it's still weird to me how every other woman has a deeply ingrained fear of going for a walk alone and expects me to as well.

I'm also really caught off guard when people say things like "Oh, there might be someone on drugs" about a poor or dilapidated area, as a reason it's dangerous. In my experience, the average American seems to have no idea what "drugs" are or do, only a vague impression that they are somewhat like rabies and cause people to become indiscriminately violent and dangerous towards everyone around them.

At my first college there was a restaurant downtown that everyone said was "a front for human trafficking." Even professors would say this. Despite the widespread nature of this rumor, it never seemed to occur to anyone that this information could be actionable or that any authority could be informed about the presence of a human trafficking ring. It was just a fact; human trafficking networks were an assumed part of the everyday world, something that had to be avoided like potholes in the road.

I think about these things a lot.

It is extremely beneficial for a number of industries, as well as certain politicians, for white people — and this is specific to white people — to believe that they are in life threatening danger at any given minute and it matters. It is critical to understand that this issue is extraordinarily racialized, and that the industries and politicians benefiting from making white people afraid are relying upon existing and worsening racial stratification in the US to fill their coffers, or provide them with power or both, and enjoying the knock on harms this does to the BIPOC, immigrant, unhoused and SUD communities adjacent to these needlessly terrified white folks.

77% of Americans believe that crime is increasing. While we don’t have a race breakdown of the numbers, we do have a political breakdown of the numbers, which is just as good, honestly. 92% of Republicans believe that crime is going up but only 58% of Democrats do.

In reality, every kind of crime has been decreasing for the last several years except auto theft. The murder rate fell between 2022 and 2023 at the steepest rate ever in history, and property crime is at its lowest rate since 1961. 

The most dangerous thing in the world to that woman in the video is the husband she locks herself in with every night.

Closing all your blinds and turning your lights off 24/7 like this is going to increase your chance of break-ins because there are a thousand times more people out there who want to break into your empty house and steal your TV, than people who want to assault a random stranger in their house

But to be fair those same people would probably be deterred by the door locks so it all evens out to a very expensive nothing I guess

rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild

highlights of the responses:

  • the solid hundred americans saying "idk general american". i dont know what that is so im gonna pretend you mean "I sound like a disney channel character"
  • shoutout to whoever said "gay". also whoever said "autism".
  • to those curious; 'newfoundland' accents are what everyone i know says to refer to the stereotypical "canadian accent" that bad american TV has, 'cause you're basically only gonna hear that in a random fishing town on the Maritimes' coast.
  • the fact that almost every french person called their accent sexy
  • all my fellow canadians who are saying "canadian but i dONT SOUND NEWFIE" like yes babe we are not all One Single Fishing Town Accent (no hate to the newfies tho ily)
  • the one who said "i sound like siri. i have no accent" meanwhile siri is So Fucking Accented to my ears
  • the amount of people with english as a second language in the notes who now love their accents <3 that's great, love urself
  • everyone going "i'm TOLD i sound british. please not that"
  • the one person who described their accent instead of just saying a word. they happened to be canadian and i was like "you just. absolutely and totally described how i talk"
  • the amount of californians going "californian but i dONT SOUND SURFER OR VALLEY GIRL" like the US version of "im not newfie"
  • the one single californian who was like "yeah i sound surfer. what are u gonna do about it"

"well one genocide is better than xyz genocides" Have you ever considered that Palestinians are not your sacrificial lambs. have you ever considered we deserve to live just as much as you do

It legitimately makes me feel insane to watch people go back and forth with each other about “harm reduction” and the “lesser evil” because harm reduction for who? Lesser evil for who? Why do I have to watch my people get slaughtered and constantly worry about the safety of my own family and listen to you individualist bootlicking liberals cry “But what about ME”
