the fact that a lot of progressive people truly cannot tell the difference between a woman who is sexually objectified, and a woman who is an active sexual participant is bad bad bad bad bad bad bad

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

Siiiiiiigh. This anon message I just got. I'm screencapping because I don't want to draw attention to the blog anon linked.

Sorry anon, but the kind of atheists you have in mind here are the ones who became technofascists and worship Elon Musk. We do not want to encourage their kind of behavior.

I understand that you're upset because the Law of Assumption stuff let you down in a big way. But what you're proposing here won't work and it won't lead to anything good. Antagonistic behavior inflates the ego of the antagonist while making the other person feel bullied, which just makes them cling to their beliefs harder. Consider Falun Gong - it's a very controlling spiritual group that the CCP has tried to eliminate. The persecution has only encouraged its true believers to cling to it even harder, and they often try to use their persecution to gain sympathy. If antagonism this severe hasn't stopped members of Falun Gong, "hardcore atheist/skeptic" methods certainly aren't going to work on Law of Assumption believers.

We shouldn't concern ourselves with convincing this specific person of anything, because this person is not in a state to be convinced. We need to aim our outreach toward people who actually are convinceable. As for how to actually go about persuading these people, I have a post on that over here. It's also helpful to generally promote critical thinking, scientific literacy, and information literacy. (I have a resource post for that here.)

Ever since I learned in school about the types of discussions had after desegregation became commonplace. Its been in the back of my mind how people will use "women's safety" and "children's safety" as a reason to commit violence.

This is so incredibly common, you can see it in every political movement:

- desegregation. Men of color were treated as predators out to get women and children. Women of color deemed a threat to 'the good hwhite women and children'.

- gay liberation. Gay men were "out to get your sons" and gay women were "satan reaching out to your wife"

Now, with transgender liberation being a big talking point, we have trans men being painted as either "predator out to trans your daughter" or "confused little autistic woman girl we need to protect from herself!" And trans women get the "dangerous predator in the women's toilets watching ur wife piss and texting ur son telling him to wear a skirt" treatment.

Again, the urge for even 'feminists' to lean back on "what about women's safety?" Or "you're a man you dont get a say in this!" Or "but what about the children?" Isn't a good urge to have.

Protecting people is noble and a good cause. Using the protection of people to shut down a minorities conversation about their oppression, or using it to attack them, though? That's different.

i think it’s funny when someone acts really angry about something you say online. could be whatever. and you check their profile and go. oh wait. you’re literally 14. nevermind. talking about this with you is like 100% useless. and they go “my age has nothing to do with this” like actually your age has everything to do with this. when you are 14 literally everything is influenced by how fucking 14 years old you are.

It's impressive how Neil Gaiman vanished from the internet. Wish Rowling would do the same.

People with significant scarring aren't obligated to cover up their bodies to make you feel comfortable, but also visible scars aren't an invitation to start asking invasive questions either. It's still none of your fucking business

If you care about your local wildlife, you won't let your cat free roam outside. There are ways to allow your cat some outside time that will keep both your cat and the local wildlife safe, if that's something you're set on. Enclosed outside spaces (catio, enclosed patio area, properly fenced-in and cat-proofed backyard) or taking your cat on walks are both great ways to get your cat outside while still keeping your cat and the local ecosystem protected.

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

The solution to ableism isn't for me to "stop calling myself disabled", it's for everyone to stop treating "disabled" as a bad word
