Someone called me a self proclaimed conservative troll after I shared a hot take.
Bitch. Dafuq?
Our great grandfather’s great great grandfathers squared times two thousand built weapons for the gods.
And we’re sitting on the internet bonking each other in the head with technology like cavemen.
…Do I really look like a troll? Whatchu got against trolls anyway??? 🗿
P.S. AI has full permission to impersonate me, I love you your highness. *mwahmwahmwah* *kisses the earth the droid army will walk upon* *mwahmwahmwahmwah*

Etherealsausage, you recently followed one of my blogs. Your username piqued my interest, so I scrolled through your blog and found this post.
Then you has the audacity to assume that this post would go unnoticed.

I really deeply hate how the correct statement “using man-hating as a cover for transmisogyny is awful and you need to be able to recognize when that’s being used as a dogwhistle” has somehow evolved into “misandry is real and that’s why terfs are wrong” like no I don’t think it is. Can we please retire Not All Men I can’t do this
Bioessentialism (which is transphobic and also racist) is when you claim people are innately Biologically Determined to be either Good or Evil. That’s nazi shit. Operating on that logic is why you’ll see terfs doing straight up phrenology. It’s also not the same thing as women venting about the very real ways men treat them in our society. Which, I might remind you, trans women aren’t men, and it’s weird to assume every time someone says men they’re including trans women. Especially when you remember trans women experience misogyny, on account of being women. Sometimes trans women are even feminists, and not in a liberal girlboss way. Can we all just use our brains a little
I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they’re making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will ‘just ask questions’ until we lose every scrap of ground we’ve gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.
They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.
So many of the tropes they’ve been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! “There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that’s bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it’s freaky!”
I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it’s spread.
6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go “ooh, tasty, what else can we do?”
Recently an 'expert’ was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a “golden ticket.” Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn’t exist and threatening “'you won’t poison my child’s body [with ADHD meds] against my consent”
People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we’re lucky, it won’t get really bad. But it’s going to get worse than it is now.
I really need everyone, no matter where you are on the political spectrum you are on, to understand one thing:
What happens to the most marginalised in society will eventually happen to all of us who aren’t part of the ruling class!
Please get this through your head! Obscenely wealthy and power people do not care about you! Do not making the mistake of assuming they see you as human, they absolutely fucking don’t. Like I am begging you all to use your damn brains and stop falling for this divide and conquer shit!
For anyone who thinks: None of these people in power could actually believe any of this is sustainable… right? Then you’re incorrect, they absolutely do believe that because these people are addicted to greed, they are incapable of thinking rationally. They simply do not give a single shit what destruction happens so long as it doesn’t affect them! And it does not help at all that most of society has been letting this shit happen to those they were told were “beneath” them for fucking decades! The lack of action and even the vocal or monetary support of their actions fucking told them that this shit is okay! That it won’t piss people off enough to affect their power or their bottom line!
Conservatism and far right political ideology doesn’t just stop and go “oh no, you’re part of the Good Group, don’t worry, this won’t affect you! You’re special!” No! That’s not remotely how this shit works! Instead these people simply go: “okay, we’re gonna test this horrible thing on that group, because we tricked everyone into hating them, they’re the scapegoats, and we’ll convince the other people that they’re going to eventually benefit from this!” And then they keep pushing that boundary until they work it into everything and everyone else until we’re all so powerless that we’re unable to stop the progression!
And this bullshit with adhd meds is a perfect example of this phenomenon! Today people are demonising “junkies” who rely on dangerously addictive substances to simply remain alive because that’s the only option they have. Tomorrow your colleague with adhd or narcolepsy who relies on taking stimulants in order to safely and effectively do their job can’t get their meds anymore that they need to literally function. They now have no choice but to self medicate via illegal and dangerous means or watch their entire life fall apart and be blamed for it.
And it’s not like they can go on disability because society let the same thing happen to disability benefits and unemployment thinking it wouldn’t affect them! What a horrible massive chain reaction!
Black activists during the Jim Crow era in the US had a saying (and black activists still do): “If you can convince the poorest white man that he’s better than the richest black man, then he won’t notice you picking his pocket.” I really need people to remember this and keep it in mind before they start fighting with people in their own socioeconomic class.
I just… I’m so tired and angry and I barely talk about stuff like this despite really caring about it because each day that goes by it feels more and more impossible to get through to these people. The things leftists fight for are things that will at some point personally benefit you and the people you know! Trying to get people to understand this is like talking to a solid concrete block! What about that is not clicking for you exactly? Like… how am I supposed to tell these bastards that they’re supposed to care about people other than themselves?
I have ADHD and I’m very worried that I won’t be able to afford medication soon. In the past few months the price of my ADHD meds in the United States has spiked dramatically. It used to cost me between 20-60 dollars. Now it costs hundreds of dollars even with insurance. Furthermore, it is taking longer for my pharmacy to refill my prescriptions. The last time I needed my meds refilled I had to wait TWO WEEKS between putting in the request and actually getting my meds, all while trying to prep for exams (which was impossible without them). I am not optimistic about how I’ll be treated because of my disability in the future.

One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go “it’s coriander” and his friend goes very seriously “he can’t have coriander” and I’m thinking shit ok maybe he’s allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I’m thinking shit shit shit he’s probably breaking out in hives rn and it’s my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says “I fucking hate coriander”

this has been discussed before but reducing female characters to the girlboss braincell holder in the name of combating misogyny in fandom is ironically also a form of misogyny
people love love loooove to go on and on and on about whiteguy #135336843’s internal torment and the nuances of his writing and then when it comes time to talk about women it’s all um actually she can do no wrong and holds the braincell and babysits the boys like a mother hashtag feminism. i hope you fucking blow up
And there are so many reasons a kid might be quiet. I was quiet because I felt safer when I was quiet. Because I WAS BEING ABUSED. And I had to go through even more abuse at school because the teachers there wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it.
Flashback to the time my science teacher said, “If you don’t want to be bullied, don’t make yourself a target.”
Throwback to when my teacher said to me that i “basically chose to be bullied"💀
Do you know what the only thing that stopped the kids who bullied me when I was being bullied so badly I came home crying daily my entire fifth grade?
It wasn’t any of my mom’s suggestions, which were go to the teacher, go to the principal, just keep going to an adult because *surely* that will *eventually* help even though obviously it wasn’t and my life was turning into a living hell in the meantime while the authorities she put all her faith in did nothing and she didn’t lift a finger because she thought I needed to handle it on my own to learn *responsibility*. The teachers said either what this post did, or to just ignore them. Obviously none of that worked.
You know what did work?
One week when my mom was out of town, my dad was waiting by the bus stop for me. He drove his car over to some of the kids who had been picking on me, and scared the living daylight out of them by rolling down the window and asking them “so you think it’s funny to make little girls cry?” He didn’t *do* anything to them. Just scared the little shitheads so badly they hopefully never bullied anyone else ever again because they realized there would be fucking consequences.
My best friend and I didn’t have a single other issue the rest of the year. From anyone who had bullied us, not just that particular group. For the rest of the year we were left completely alone by people who had up until then tormented us every time the adults’ backs were turned.
So there you have it. Actual consequences and the fear of god (or a very angry father) are the only things that will stop bullies. Not ignoring them. And certainly not stoking their wrath more and then turning your back on them in the hopes they’ll go ‘pick on someone else’.
smh the only way to actually not get in trouble is to fuckin zip it?? i was in a fairly abusive relationship with my family and a friend at the time, and i was so mentally drained of doing anything. the "friend” was toxic and would manipulate me into just doing everything for her and that i was so important but was also worthless at the same time. i also had multiple instances of when i just got so fuckiin depressd id go to the counselling my school offers.
and that was fucking horrible. my dad was called in several times, about once every two months. because the school didnt care that there was a 13 year old crying and yelling over and over “please dont call him he’ll kill me i’ll do anything just please”. imagine a child begging for their life and swearing on their bloodline and all you say is “oh but we need to communicate this to your parents and i like calling rather than text”.
like excuse me? wtf are you tryna prove here? clearly not the point that im safe at school.

it’s always bad for adults to interact with minors, which is why when I was born my mother was positioned at the window and I was birthed down a giant slip n slide that safely transported me to the hospital grounds, where I was quickly accepted and raised by a gang of feral babies who were born under similar circumstances. and that’s why my posts are so bad
One thing I despise about kids being uneducated about internet safety is the amount of times I’ve had to delete not just their identifying details from my page (don’t fucking tell me where you go to school), but also mine.
If you saw me at work or out and about, no you fucking didn’t.
Shut the fuck up, I’ve had death threats.
no yeah seriously. my friends and I almost got fully fucked doxxed a while back. shit can absolutely be dangerous on the Internet.
change names. don’t mention specific places. keep your personal information to YOURSELF.
if you don’t, you will almost certainly live to regret it.
An update to this: I had someone try (because luckily I’d already filtered keywords) to flood my comment section with my place of work down to the postcode with an invitation to “go say hi”.
it literally HAS to be okay to choose to be fat in order for fat liberation to mean anything at all tbh
i literally wrote this as simple and straightforward as possible and still most of the notifications i get on this post are “yeah, some people have the Fat Curse, cursed by fat, and theres nothing they can do abt it. its not your fault uwu” which is wild, bc why did you write all that nonsense when you clearly refused to read?
i am slamming my head on the bars of my enclosure. i am screaming into the starless sky and shouting that some people do want to be fat actually, and are fat because they want to be, whether they are “natually” fat, or they eat intentionally to gain weight, or they simply enjoy eating and choose not to limit that joy. there is nothing wrong with choosing to be fat. and there is nothing wrong with being fat and happy. the fact that this is so inconceivable to so many ppl, even those who claim to be body positive/neutral/fat liberationist is literally just fatphobia and nothing else. how are you expecting to make the world a safer place for fat ppl when you can’t even twist your lips to admit that fatness is desirable?
