Just a friendly reminder, this page is unapologetically antifascist.
:) maybe the world is good actually (just saw these lesbian flag tulips on my walk!)
lesbian flowers !!!
If you’re a poor person listen spending less on things that makes you happy/only spending money on essentials will not get you out of poverty but will make you want to kill yourself
Everyone gets so mad when they see poor ppl spend money on anything other than food and rents and i gotta tell you being a “good” poor is a misery trip you’ll never please these people
I think some of you need a reality check that lesbians are literally oppressed for not liking men, not the other way around FUCKING LMAO.
Charged with Not Being Nice Crimes to man who watches lesbian porn and calls me a slur
are you ok
I am a "Lesbo" ...

I hate hate hate when people say things like “homophobes don’t hate us based on who we aren’t attracted to!” Tell me you have no empathy or understanding for the lesbian struggle without telling me. We are absolutely hated on the basis that we are not attracted to men it’s fucking blind to pretend otherwise
disability rights involves the right to do fuck all. the right to be a useless member of society and STILL be loved and cared for and have a fair standard of living. human beings are not defined by the capital we produce.
this world is beautiful there’s ten million loud and unpalatable queers
should probably post this here too
Also just out of the blue, unprompted, talking about you not wanting to have sex with someone, is pretty rude and if you're bringing that up like that to that person when they haven't asked, its honestly a form of harassment.
Imagine, (and this may have happened to you before so think of how that felt) having someone, loudly and unprompted, talking about how they find you, personally unattractive and don't want to fuck you. You never asked, you have made no indication you want anything to do with them sexually, and yet they just keep talking about it, then say you are harrassing *them* when you tell them to shut up.
Now, not finding you attractive is well within their rights, but they're being incredibly rude and hurtful to say that to your face without any reason to.
Idk, as a cis queer person who also has a lot of other aspects of my identity such as being mixed race and disabled that some people take issue with, who has been on the same recieving end of strangers not shutting up about disliking your body for one reason or another when you're just trying to survive, and having to take the constant harassment on the chin and deal with it constany chipping away of self esteem just for daring to *exist*; I agree that it does get to a point where you're just being transphobic. (Or in the cases of myself, ableist or racist)
You are not required to find anyone attractive. You however *ARE* required to treat people with some basic level of human respect.
God, I wish that I had this post back when radfems/TERFs were harassing me over exactly this. It sums it up better than my autistic ass ever could.
“rap is the worst music genre” “no actually it’s soul” “no actually it’s jazz” “no actually it’s ska” “no actually it’s r&b” hey guys do you notice a common denominator in the genres you hate or is it just me
genres people have said are the worst in response to this (including the deleted comment section)
funk, house, reggae, disco, gospel, bluesgrass, dubstep, country.
introspection done: zero
:(
FYI house is mostly german, and country is derived from bluegrass which is mountainy white music derived from irish music. And Dudubstep is from a few south Londoner teens.
you think the banjo came from ireland you dumb mother fucker?
as someone super into dance music and who actually puts a lot of effort into learning about the music i listen to, people like netherator genuinely infuriate me
house started and was popularized in clubs in chicago. the djs and clubbers were largely queer black men. house takes a ton of inspiration from disco, jazz, and dub
dubstep is a fusion genre of dub and 2-step garage, both of which were pioneered by poc artists. "south londoner teens" erases all of the history that sculpted the genre and culture around it. the "dubstep" netherator is probably talking about is probably actually "brostep" which was popularized by skrillex (please watch "all my homies hate skrillex" by timbah.on.toast)
we would not have dance music without poc artists
please dont dismiss the contributions of black culture to music under the guise of "poc".
of all the categories mentioned, they rely on accentuated beats of 2&4, but always having a way to return to beat 1/the downbeat. this can be done in different ways (like simple 1 2^ 3 4^ rhythms, or syncopation like in bossa nova or reggae). these rhythms are explicitly derived from african folk songs, which came to america in the form of slave songs, and then evolved into dixieland over time. lumping them in under "poc" means viewing them in the same lens as arabic melodic minor scales, or indian quarter- and eighth-tones, which are quite different areas of music theory with different impacts.
the thing is, the concept of 2 & 4 accentuated beats has spread across the world. think jpop/kpop, latin, trap, pretty much anything pop in the last century. this is because of the commodification of black culture worldwide. think of the fashion that coincides with these genres, and their influences, how many kpop/jpop groups have appropriated black hairstyles (or durags, not a hairstyle tho), the american stars that darken their skin for racial ambiguity. and if im talking too much about pop specifically, know that "pop" in itself is not a concrete genre. "pop" is simply short for "popular" and changes with time. in the 1800s, sonatas would be "pop". jazz was "pop" in the 1920s. funk and fusion were "pop" in the 1970s. time marches onward.
“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”

Irish people, I NEED to know: What do you think of these weird shirts that rednecks in my home town wear?
Yeah, that's about what I expected
Americans hear “Irish Republicans fought the Black and Tans” and assume that every one of those words mean what they think it means.
