heyyo here’s a fun fact for y’all
trans women don’t experience male socialization before we come out
we experience closeted trans woman socialization which is an entirely different and extremely toxic monster
thank and have a terrible day if you disagree
hi if you’re safe to do so you should probably be reblogging this
the idea that trans women are socialized as anything but women is one of the most potent arguments for stripping us of our humanity

I think this about sums everything up.
I read about this on the beeb, in the guardian online, this is the first fucking article to explain how the measures have actually changed and jesus dick, it is far, far worse than I had imagined.
That reprehensible fuckstick.
It’ll be okay when these children starve because they weren’t “really” poor.

don’t just reblog this.. think.. there are women in this world who have inserted coat hangers into themselves in order to force/create an abortion… because.. men in government thought more about the words in the Bible than the rights of women and their bodies.
Illegal abortions caused the death of many many women, infertility, horrendous internal damage and infection and royally fucked with the emotional well being of so many woman.
THERE ARE WOMEN WHO HAVE STUCK HANGERS INSIDE OF THEM IN ORDER TO INDUCE AN ABORTION BECAUSE THE GOVT CARES MORE ABOUT WORDS IN A BOOK THAN WOMEN’S LIVES.

Sexism 60’s
jesus???????????????
What the fuck was wrong with men in the 60’s?
advertising is important as it’s the historian’s best resource for identifying the values of an era. but yeah, these were fucked. the 60s was generally as fucked as the 50s. people forget that.
It literally says ‘men are better than women’ in bold type, what the fuck. I knew this was a thing, but that is a lack of subtlety I couldn’t have written into a spoof…
This is the generation that spawned most of our parents… People our parents’ age run Washington. Starting to make sense?
When you look to the past, the struggles of the present become a great deal more clear.
Hey Everyone, just an FYI…. This is not over. This is not exclusive to “our parents generation”
Oh hey look, a Hardee’s ad
These advertisements had to go through layers of people. Someone said, “this is my idea” to a room of people and then sold the idea for money.
Reblogging with the updated commentary
Bringing this back, because it’s important to acknowledge that this gross bullshit persists in our culture today. Stomp on this crap.

When my friend was a kid she used put on high heels and practice running around and jumping off stuff because Catwoman could do it. Now she can practically sprint in stilettos. Like…I’ve seen her chase after animals and run up hills and climb shit with 0% hindrance, and I will forever and always admire the hell out of her for it because when asked to choose between practicality and fashion she literally just chose “no be Catwoman” instead, and for some reason that actually worked.

horrifying fun fact of the day: so greenwich village, which is the neighborhood in nyc where the stonewall riots took place and which was a v important gay center from like the 50s-80s, is now super swanky and full of touristy boutiques and expensive apartments and stuff. st vincent’s, the local hospital which had the first aids ward on the east coast, closed a couple years ago and is being replaced with luxury condos. all of this is sad enough, BUT i just found out that one of the reasons it’s so gentrified now is that the aids crisis was really awesome for real estate. ppl were dying in thousands and leaving empty apartments behind, which their landlords would then rent at higher prices until only rich ppl could afford to live there :)
elaphaia said: also during the aids crisis landlords would shut their heat off in the winter knowing it would kill ppl so they could then rent 4 higher :-)
Reminder that the cishet dominated government didn’t just ignore the effects of HIV/AIDS because of how concentrated the deaths were in other communities because they hate us, but also because they materially benefited from it – because they owned most of the buildings, because our partners and other kin had no legal right to our possessions, and because they commodified and monopolized antiretrovirals to bilk us.
Never forget ACT UP NYC that consisted of marginalized members of the LGBT community, many of whom were dying of AIDS. All of whom fought hard and valiantly against AIDS and HIV/AIDS discrimination. Never never forget about the brave men and women who smuggled drugs for AIDS patients into the US because the FDA was taking too long to approve drugs here and people were dying.
Never forget that people were often kicked out of their housing because they were unable to afford rent and treatment, because their partner died, or because of outright discrimination.
Enjoy your luxury apartments. I hope you remember the men and women who died so you could live there.
Just remembered Mimi’s line in RENT. “It’s nothing/they turned off my heat/and I’m a little weak on my feet.”
Jesus. I know this was before a lot of tumblr’s time, but we can’t forget this shit.

Ignoring the urge
At some moments I want to cut corners. I want to get the house finished and done and ready for the market and so we can actually just sit and enjoy it for 5 minutes before we go.
But I’m not very good at that. It’s more that I opt not to do a job than I’m willing to do a job to a poor standard. Or at least, I still do things to a standard I’m willing to tolerate and that doesn’t wind me up too much rather than do a job too quickly.
And so out came the fridge…
Filled, caulked, prepped, masked, sanded and painted, despite the fact no-one will ever see it for more than a few minutes.
It’s quietly pleasing to me to know that lurking behind our fridge (which we’re planning to include in the house sale) is a short stretch of skirting that’s neatly painted despite the fact that no one but me cares.
Of course I managed to pull off a bit of the paint from the wall, which is less pleasing. But since I’ve got a whole bunch of areas to touch up – and that’s the next job after finishing the tiles in the laundry room and replacing the tiles in the hall, well… I’m less upset about that than I could be.
It’s also in a not terribly visible place.
In other news, prep for our Norway holiday continues – we’ve dug out the road map of Europe, we’ve dug out the tent and [other camping gear]… It’s starting to feel like an actual holiday approacheth.
