Hello, welcome! I hate TERFs, I write about stuff that I wish someone told me when I was younger, and I shame bigots who are flagrantly bigoted…but the coherent theme of this blog fizzled out. Pro: lefty, feminism, union, children’s rights, healing, aging, fat liberation, radical self-love, queer, childfree, but supporting parents through the village mentality, and solidarity. Anti: abuse, TERF, capitalist, white supremacist, republican, fascist, billionaire, compulsory parenting/pregnancy. (Yes, I write a lotttt. No, I’m not saying everyone posted here is a bigot, check the tags. I try to use stuff like #good shit for the non bigot posts.) Blog run by a white queer fat lady late 30s, a Hoosier currently in Austin, TX. Not accepting submissions anymore. Tag me if you want my attention on a post.

reminds me of one of those “”””””troubled teen”””” camp (money making scheme) docs I watched last year. They interviewed an elderly woman who had been a part of the abuse but was a rare adult from back then who would talk to the filmmakers.
she had an incredibly disturbing perspective that the kids lashing out to try to SURVIVE was full justification for what “discipline” she had provided. Fully no ability to see or name that if you goon kids into a prison away from all their connections and normal lives, and treat them in torturous ways YOU STARTED THE VIOLENCE BITCH. They are the ones acting in self defense. Fuck.
It’s also worth noting that she was the only one willing to talk and she was a very NOT powerful person who was exploited in the system too. She wasn’t the one making the money, but she was the one acting like the boot on the throat for peanuts.
Always question the missing reasons when a mental health professional talks about how they have been punched, bit, spit on, exc. Those who are hospitalized are routinely subjected to forced drugging, restraints, forced stripping, coercion, manipulation, violence, and isolation. They are detained and are often given no escape on their own terms. A psych sees any act of violence they commit as self-defense no matter the actual circumstances, and any retaliation or attempt at self-defense by the patient as violence.

DEI does not mean lower standards.
You are thinking of white privilege.

it rly is weird how theres this culture in progressive spaces where like you can be as mean, as CRUEL even, as you want as long as youre not being explicitly bigoted towards any marginalized group of people and still be seen as a really good person with good morals who nobody is allowed to have beef with bc theyve never done anything racist or homophobic

Told MAGAt family in Indy what’s up and why we won’t be visiting much anyone (we maintain strained relationships with shitty adults in service of a bigger goal to be the ONLY left/queer/not Xian role models and adults our 5 niblings have.)
The response? “It’s all part of gods plan” and “praying for you.” COOL DID YOU FUCKING VOTE FOR ME?? And “we’re here for you…” REALLY?! HOW??
It’s so fucking disrespectful to say god shit to your family who told you not to a million times in a moment like this. Kicking us when we’re down.
those dumb mother fuckers are lucky I won’t have money to come visit bc I’d strangle them
In case you're wondering how I'm fairing running a feminist nonprofit in the Project 2025 dystopian hell that is Texas, I will be unemployed for the first time in my life as of 7/1 unless a miracle occurs.
And I don't know about y'all but I think they stopped making miracles a few decades back or something cuz I ain't seen one.

The hearing center I tried to book an appointment with called me. Called. They called me, the person who is booking an appointment about hearing. The hearing center. That offers hearing exams and hearing aid repair. That one. Me, who has hearing issues. Their patient. At the hearing center. For people who don't hear all that well. That one.

Trump is now polling underwater on every single issue, including the economy and immigration. Do not let him claim he has a mandate or is all powerful. We are the majority — not Trump.

Years and years ago people would DM me or submit posts here about Onision and, as with ALL things YouTube for me, my reaction was “wow I know nothing about this…that sounds horrific and he’s the worst aka par for the course for YT…”
Well I may be like a decade late in comprehending what a predator pedo piece of shit he is, but I caught up and WOW HOW IS THIS FUCKER STILL RUNNING AROUND OUT THERE

it’s literally so bad every day my stupid ass fucking poli sci BA feels like an act of self harm being inflicted from the past because I spent a very unnecessary amount of money to understand just how bad it is at a degree my mental health truly cannot take. I am barely hanging on by a thread in my day to day, trying to keep a small grassroots left leaning youth org alive amid a decimating of our funding and shrink of almost 50% a staff size from 2 years ago. There is such an avalanche of bad, it’s suffocating.
but the full blown constitutional crisis is a big flaming issue of a special kind of terrifying.
Thank you for having the ability to say coherent things about this 😓 I don’t understand why it’s not being talked about more. Then I remember I’m too fried to properly talk about it myself again.
we can’t ignore this.
Idk how many of you have been reading the news, but this treatment of immigrants to the USA is set to cause a constitutional crisis. If things continue as they have been, we're going to see dissolution of rule of law much, much sooner than almost anyone had anticipated.
"Fascism" doesn't just mean "when things are really bad", it's a specific system with specific features that is built when capitalism hits a crisis point. It grows out of liberal democracy, and the transition isn't all at once.
One of the key features of full-on fascism is that the law becomes irrelevant. The current regime is trying to speedrun the transition to fascism by repeatedly breaking laws and waiting for packed courts to sort out what's legal.
This is an incredibly effective strategy. Because these breaches of law are set to be addressed in courts, people believe there will be redress, which has worked brilliantly to reduce opposition to these crimes.
Trump's regime is also targeting groups considered inherently criminal in American racism, so outcry is even smaller.
Trump is openly defying law and court orders, and resistance to his regime is being coopted by centrist groups who want to avoid doing anything actually effective, funneling angry people into purely symbolic protests with no threat to his power at all.
We are watching the USA begin its final stage of transition to fascism.

blah blah yeah we get it. You’re the new money the BIG money hires to make the tiny money feel like they too can someday become new money if they keep working their lives away and let’s all make sure to keep everyone looking away from how this all is killing the no money
It’s so obvious. Old, predictable, rote. Yet we must watch it play out I guess, bread and circuses bullshit style at an ever ratcheting higher and higher to “beyond parody” level of bad.
I’m so goddamn tired y’all. I need to literally go to bed and turn this enraged brain off for a beat
Current late stage capitalism celebrity right of passage for crossing over into main stream success: the commercial or (other insipid content) that’s an attempted funny or cute depiction of “oh tee hee I’m just so very rich now 😘”
kill me now. Sorry. Kill THEM now.

Every TV show that goes beyond 3 seasons needs to hire a council of autistic peeps from the fandom. Ya know the ones who have said show among their most special interests, who the studio can pay for them to consult w/ the writers for basic “is this new script consistent with everything we’ve already written and put in universe” type shit.
I’m so serious.
The way shows will miss continuity errors across their own characters’ backstories and fumble cannon details across the years is so frustrating to anyone for whom “cannot turn off details tracking” is a brain default. so basically, pay us to help you, Hollywood 😂
(I guarantee every autistic person who loves a messy show right now and is reading this has a mental list uncontrollably running of the exact errors I mean)
