I'm not sure I'll ever be over how some blogs on the site essentially groomed their followings of young girls/afab children into kink exposure at a young age, normalising things like pedophilia and incest in fiction, doing this while spouting radlib stuff abt e.g. mental illness and queerness to target vulnerable, often gay or gnc, female children and explicitly smeared radical feminism as a movement. It was very destructive to me as a teenager and I think it's one of the things that has made the antifeminist backlash so strong.

Go fuck yourself if you say "Fictives of [character] dni" or "fictives of [source]"

Btw if a trans person or really any person asks to be called she/her or he/him and you insist upon calling him or her “they”, that is also misgendering.

Reminder from someone with actual literal brain damage from a brain injury to stop fucking using "brain damage" and "brain injuries" as a means of describing someone whose opinions you don't like or deem as stupid.
It's ableist and offensive as fuck, and for some reason a lot of leftist people think it's okay to use. I've seen posts replying to right wing racists calling them "brain damaged if you believe this" and "do you have a brain injury? do you not understand X?". Just now I saw a beautiful post about fat people throughout history that was absolutely ruined by opening with "How do we break it to boomers with actual brain damage and nostalgic brainrot..." before continuing to say that fat people existed throughout history.
Brain damage does not make you racist. A brain injury doesn't make you stupid, or fatphobic, or unaware of history and politics. Stop fucking using my disability as a catch all to describe people you think are shitty. Y'all use it like it's a replacement for how people used to use the R-slur, which shows you learned absolutely nothing about why the R-slur was wrong to use and decided to throw in other disabilities instead. Fuck off and stop doing it.
(And don't do it with other disabilities either, because I know y'all do.)
I know a lot of people with brain injuries. They're smart, and funny, and compassionate. They learn about the world and care about social issues and wish they could go to protests if their disability won't allow them to. Are there right wing people with brain injuries? Sure, absolutely. But they are not right wing because they have a brain injury, and using any disability as an insult is still fucking ableist.
Tldr - stop using brain damage and brain injury as an insult. It's ableist and incredibly offensive.
Love, your local brain injured/brain damaged pal

I find it so utterly tragic that the men in my life keep failing. Why can't you wrap YOUR WIFE of over 20 years gifts? She doesn't care that you’re supposedly bad at it, hell I'm crap at gift wrapping. Why can't you do anything on your anniversaries? She can count on one hand how often you've even wished her a happy anniversary, one goddamn hand. Is that really what I'll have to settle for? A life as maid and cook? An overlooked house slave?
Why couldn't you wrap the gifts? No, not in the same paper. Don't you listen? Her birthday isn't Christmas and Christmas isn't her birthday. Just do something small for her for once. Why can't you do it?

I hate living with chronic pain. I always get told "You're too young to have chronic pain!"

The fact that Judaism is trending because of both the wave of bomb threats on synagogues and Bradley Cooper's Antisemitism Adventure (his huge fake prosthetic nose, and him basically stealing the story from a Jewish man) is so infuriating and so exhaustingly typical.
The fact that I see Judaism trending on Tumblr and immediately think "oh no. Something Bad is happening to us." We're never trending cause it's fucking good. I never get to be excited, it's just cold dread.
The fact that Antisemitism is getting worse everyday and the only ones who ever talk about it are other Jews. The fact that no one else fucking cares. The only ones who support us are other Jews. Even when gentiles talk about Nazis or white supremacists they don't want to help us. We're just their prop, the canary in the coal mine and the perfect victim.
The fact that everyone's uncomfortable with Jews still being here. Reminding them of things they'd rather forget.
The fact that it'd be easier for them if we were all dead. Then they could tell stories about our people, dressed in offensive caricatures, without us making a fuss.
