USAmerican Christian Nationalism is not my favourite thing but “That’s my God-given right as an American” really goes off. Hits all the notes, really. I think I’m gonna steal it
transitioning is like putting on the They Live glasses and seeing that 90% of people looking at you are either jerking off or furiously sharpening a knife. or both. and i do not mean that in a sexy or fun way, and i dont like clarifying that, but i know there’s a 90% chance you are thinking it, because i wrote it while being a trans woman.
to clarify:
when considering the sexual violence against trans women, it’s important to remember that “people only view us sexually” does not mean the same thing as “people only find us attractive”. it means “people can only conceptualize of our existence within a sexual light” because that’s how the majority of our coverage in media has been tinged in the past century. as a result of the chaste and patriarchal nature of modern capitalism, gender and sexuality are inseparable in much public discourse by virtue of propaganda, and as a result, a trans woman is seen as sexual because efforts towards projecting specifically femininity is only categorized as sexual. and when paired with the uncharitable perception of “man”, that propaganda can often evolve how people view us directly into “sexual threat” anywhere, for any reason. i could be in the freezer aisle of costco looking down at the ground while i push my cart and i’d still get dirty looks for wearing a dress (this has happened).
when i say “they’re either jerking off or sharpening a knife”, i mean we’re either viewed sexually, or as sexually threatening, in almost all scenarios.
[NOTE: AS WITH ALL MATTERS OF TRANSMISOGYNY, THIS ISSUE IS 100 TIMES WORSE FOR BLACK GIRLS]
woawoawoawoawoawoah let’s hold off on that interaction there, pal. can’t help but notice those feedist posts and reblogged nudes of fat people who aren’t f-cup single-chin small waisted size 10s on your page. you aren’t some kind of fetishist, are you? 🤨 look idk what you do in your freak pervert circles, but around these parts, we love/tolerate fat people in spite of their bodies. give them too much encouragement and they stop being good obedient lays feel objectified, you see.
they should make being from california illegal [remembers im highly critical of policing and the law as institutions] we should restructure society so that nobody is from california

Pardon my german but Die dumme Hure soll sich endlich in ihr verfluchtes Grab legen damit jede Transfrau der Insel dazu beitragen kann, dass sie an einem Schlamm aus frischer Pisse und modrigem Dreck ersticken kann.
Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”
How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god
white t girl i love you. and also do not forget that you are not the modern martyr for the oppressed voice. that’s still black girls. it’s always been black girls. stories of black martyrdom simply don’t make it into the news cycle until the unrest caused by its reporting can be packaged as a “riot” segment between traffic reports. i know you suffer, but whatever you’re experiencing, i beg you, when interacting with your community and building nuanced understandings of each other and the system which binds us, to not forget that a black tgirl has felt it 100 times worse before positioning yourself as an authority on all systems of oppression for having suffered unjustly at all. because you have suffered unjustly, but suffering unjustly as a white person means something so much different.
serenely reblogging this once more after deleting responses from white people saying “talking about this is actually unhelpful because im oppressed too” yeah i know. i wrote that down in the post i made, and i also wrote down why remembering the difference is important. did you read it?
there is no malice in my reminder. no “you need to do better”, just a reminder. do not read it as such. i didn’t write it as such.

*screencap of a tiktok by @sarahinyellow featuring a lightskinned person sitting at their laptop with a bag of potato chips and a bottle of diet coke*
“diet culture will demonize any food that isn’t “clean” but EVERY food can have a benefit for you
Diet Coke is somehow the only thing that stops my migraines, and it reminds me of my best friend. Cape Cod potato chips are my go to salty snack and I live 10 minutes from the factory, so they make me feel cool.
Food is more than fuel. It’s memories and satisfaction and tradition and home and culture.
There’s nothing evil about that.”

this was one of the number one things my eating disorder therapist stressed the most and it’s helped drastically. this is so important.
Ok, what you're going to want to do is buy and/or learn to use a tool that has absolutely nothing to do with your current skillset, then figure out a convoluted way to incorporate it into a random object.
So I’ve done my first aid + CPR a few times. And every single time I try and bring up scenarios for fat folks
Specifically like ‘what if someone is too large for me to wrap my arms around then to do the heimleich’
And its incredibly rare I get a decent answer.
How absolutely insane is it that me, as a fat person, is asking how to have MY life saved or to save ANOTHER life, is an impossible feat if someone is fat.
Most of the time they tell me to 'just try anyways uwu’
There has got to be a better option.
From a first aid and CPR trainer, who is also fat.
The heimleich is scientifically as effective as slapping someone VERY hard on the back. The only reason it’s so well taught is the man that invented it did a lot of great PR for himself. It’s also a bit easier for smaller framed people to get the necessary force in, because people are often extremely scared to hurt people, even in life threatening situations.
With larger bodied people, whether they be fat, tall, muscular, etc. If you cannot get your arms around them, literally just slap the shit out of their shoulders. You want hard, open palmed slaps right in the center of the shoulders or slightly below.
If they are too tall for you to reach that high, guide them to lean over the back of a chair, and then slap slap slap slap slap.
It’s been proven to be just as effective through many studies. It just doesn’t have a trademarked name and a dramatic effect in film.
If you have to do CPR on a larger bodied person, again, fat, body builder, tall and broad, whoever, the trick to finding where you want to put your hands if going to be to take your hand and shove it in their armpit. No seriously. Put your hand in their armpit, then drag it in a straight line towards yourself until you’re in the center of the chest, then put your other hand beneath that one. This is where you push. Then you are going to move the arm closest to you out of the way so you can get closer to them, and get the leverage you need to press down for compressions. The more of your body weight that is over your hands, the better the compression will be. Act like you are trying desperately to pack the last of your clothes in a suitcase, and just slam down hard on their chest.
They will make *horrible* noises. You might even break ribs.
But a broken rib is better than being dead.
One day, perhaps, other CPR and First Aid instructors will actually know and teach this shit. But the medical field is filled with people who don’t know, don’t care, or just outright hate fat people. So while this information won’t fix your complaint, I do hope it helps someone out there with saving their loved ones, should it ever be needed.
Someone in the notes said shes doing this with 200 lbs and i cant stress enough how wrong that is. Thats at least 160 kg she’s lifting, so closer to 350 lbs.
Ok finally looked it up, this is Hyejeong Park, clean and jerking 165kg (364 lbs) to win Senior World Champs in the W 87+ kg class this year (2023)
Reblogging again because another person in the notes said this was 200 lbs and it’s upsetting me
Hey, so if you have Windows 11 installed and have been losing your mind over the fact that you can’t find your own files because Windows is now prioritizing internet search results first, you can fix it by following this guide:
As someone with over 900 GB of intentionally and properly named files on her computer (I do a lot of digital art and digital media work that requires high-volume files that function off of dependencies), this feature was making me furious. I followed the above instructions and can confirm that the method outlined solves the problem.
YES. YES!!! OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU TTHANK YOU YES YES YES IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU!!!!!
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the parent, who remains unidentified for privacy reasons, submitted their challenge on Dec. 11 along with an eight-page list of passages from the Bible that they found to be offensive and worth reviewing.
“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.”
In their request, the parent goes on to say: “I thank the Utah Legislature and Utah Parents United for making this bad faith process so much easier and way more efficient. Now we can all ban books and you don’t even need to read them or be accurate about it. Heck, you don’t even need to see the book!”
id like to nominate Unidentified Utah Parent for president of their local school board and also Congress
its mind boggling that someone reblogged this, nearly a year after benedict stood down, nearly a year after the joke made sense, months since the last reblog
everyone in the world is either a democrat or a republican. everyone in the whole wide world is a democrat and a republican and america is the largest and most populous country in the world and america is easily the most culturally diverse country in the world because the middle class white people in my state (like a little country) are very different than the middle class white people over there (another little country, once more called a “state”) and you could never understand how bad it is in america, the main country in the world. where are you from again? it’s bad in america and america is bad but the way that america is run is the only way a country could possibly be run unfortunately. i don’t like it but it’s the only right way for a country to be run and you don’t get it because the main victims of the main country are all here and you aren’t. where are you from again? they never told me about that place. i don’t think you get that real people live in america. probably because you’re a republican. real people live in america and real people are hurt by america but what can you do? god said america has to be like this. god said this because god is real so god is american. you don’t get it because you’re over there and we’re all here in america, the realest country in the world. where are you from again? how can you talk like this with what’s happening in america? you’re a democrat, right? where are you from again? my country is so large it stretches over yours and presses down hard. it’s not my fault that they never told me about that place. my country covers the world. you don’t understand how bad this will be for real people in the real world, the first world, the only world. they never told me—where in america are you from again?
Shoutout to my dad who accidentally moved into an up and coming black lgbt neighborhood and was very disappointed to learn that all of his “new friends” weren’t actually interested in how to use iNaturalist or where he saw coyotes on his walks 😔🙏🏻
You misunderstand. My father has accidentally been on multiple dates now with multiple guys he was hoping wanted to be friends 😅
i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake
fabulous
i mean they did also kill jesus. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did kill jesus.
at a greek orthodox wedding, it is customary to spit on the bride and groom for good luck. but nobody spits on the priest. nobody care enough about priests to even spit on them. this is what our lives are like.
