“progress Flag” You’re Like A Terrorist To Me

i really like the definition of “adult human female” because it says “thats all it is. its not femininity, makeup, submissiveness, softness, anything. all it is is biology. the rest is up to the individual”

that's kind of eye opening actually. like anal was a porn trend. deepthroating was a porn trend. the whole "girl gets stuck" thing was a porn trend. now it's breeding everyone and everything. and the worst part is they don't ever really fade away. they just stack on top of each other like a grotesque tower of bodily fluids and exploited women.

I hate it when trans people on TikTok pull out that stages of genocide thing and say oh this is happening to us currently right now! As if being called sir by a waiter and JK Rowling tweeting stuff and being told that children shouldn’t have access to incredibly dangerous and life changing medical care is in anyway the same thing as an actual genocide.

These people need to read up on history and recognise that people not wanting to see a dick in a woman’s locker room is a fucking minuscule problem to have in contrast to what persecuted groups have experienced now and throughout history.

the transrace vs transgender thing is sooo interesting to me. like they really just picked which one would be okay and which one wouldn’t be. it’s okay for a man to put on a dress and makeup and decide he’s a woman and we all need to shut up and support him and let him in to woman’s spaces but the white girl putting clips on her eyes at night and saying she’s korean is totallyyyyy different and bad. and the tras can’t even answer what the difference is they just dance around it

"I'm pretty with makeup"

"I'm pretty without makeup"

Radical feminism: "It doesn't matter if you're pretty at all. You don't exist to be pretty."

"Female body hair is okay"

"Female body hair is not okay"

Radical Feminism: "Female body hair simply exists and is completely neutral. Talking about whether its 'okay' doesn't even make sense."

"Presenting THIS way makes you a man"

"Presenting THIS way makes you a woman"

Radical feminism: "Nothing about the way you present makes you a man or woman. Gender isn't real."

I love that radical feminism just removes you from so many binaries of thought. It makes them completely nonsensical. Why would I analyze whether I'm pretty when it doesn't matter either way? Why is the acceptability of my body hair even a subject of discussion? It merely exists, just like the bark on a tree. Does society sit around and debate whether a tree ought to be able to keep its bark?

I've come to realize that I've been handed a ton of "either/or" choices about who I am all my life and told to make a decision on each one. And they were all illusions! I just exist. I never had to justify the way I am or even formulate an opinion on it.

Casual reminder that many leaders who were opposing the Nazis in 1939 were also turning away Jewish refugees like the ones on the MS St. Louis.

So no, it's not enough to dislike and meme about punching nazis past and present solely on the basis of their fascism (not to mention it shows intellectual laziness that you can't bring up other fascist leaders).

And reminder that the Soviets only got pissed at the Nazis when they themselves got invaded.

So yes, if you've parrotted antisemitic tropes recently, it's really gonna call into question how much your objection is because you actually care... and how much is because now you are gonna be affected (or alternatively it's just because you have a new low-hanging fruit pet cause).

I want to make people see how much has been taken away from them.

Did you know that there are dozens of species of fireflies, and some of them light up with a blue glow? Did you know about the moths? There are thousands of them, bright pink and raspberry orange and checkerboard and emerald. They are called things like Black-Etched Prominent, Purple Fairy, Pink-Legged Tiger, Small Mossy Glyph and Black-Bordered Lemon.

Did you know that there are moths that feed on lichens? Did you know about the blue and green bees? The rainbow-colored dogbane beetles? Your streams are supposed to teem with newts, salamanders, crawdads, frogs, and fishes. I want to take you by the hand and show you an animal you've never seen before, and say, "This exists! It's real! It's alive!"

There are secret wildflowers that no website will show you and that no list entitled "native species to attract butterflies!" will name. Every day I'm at work I see a new plant I didn't know existed.

The purple coneflowers and prairie blazing star are a tidepool, a puddle, and there is an ocean out there. There are wildflowers that only grow in a few specific counties in a single state in the United States, there are plants that are evolved specifically to live underneath the drip line of a dolomite cliff or on the border of a glade of exposed limestone bedrock. Did you know that different species of moss grow on the sides of a boulder vs. on top of it?

There are obscure trees you might have never seen—Sourwood, Yellowwood, Overcup Oak, Ninebark, Mountain Stewartia, Striped Maple, American Hophornbeam, Rusty Blackhaw, Kentucky Coffeetree. There are edible fruits you've never even heard of.

And it is so scary and sad that so many people live and work in environments where most of these wondrous living things have been locally extirpated.

There are vast tracts of suburb and town and city and barren pasture where a person could plausibly never learn of the existence of the vast majority of their native plants and animals, where a person might never imagine just how many there are, because they've only ever been exposed to the tiny handful of living things that can survive in a suburb and they have no reason to extrapolate that there are ten thousand more that no one is talking about.

It's like being a fish that has lived its whole life in a bucket, with no way of imagining the ocean. The insects in your field guide are a fraction of those that exist, of all the native plants to your area only a handful can be bought in a nursery.

Welcome to the Earth! It's beautiful! It's full of life! More things are real and beautiful and alive than a single person could imagine!!!

it takes an inhuman amount of strength for me not to say to my they/them friend “no you were not ‘serving twink’ today you are a woman in a heterosexual marriage” at the end of a long ass day
