I’m belowdesire over there, if you’d like to follow me.

hey friends.

I want ya’ll to be aware of a situation going down in Tampa.

5 student activists facing up to 10 years in prison on bogus charges.

the fascists are seeking to build their capacity to crush dissent. we cannot allow them to do this unchallenged.

please read about all this and get involved. and reblog!! repost if you want too.

here’s the carrd for the organization these students are part of, the Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society: https://tampabaysds.carrd.co/

please get in the know on this one. there needs to be civilian pressure on this case. if people can be beaten, choked and groped by police and threatened with jail for up to 10 years for carrying signs and chanting against the reactionary policies of Ron DeSantis, it’s gona get bad very quick.

we all know Florida is the testing ground by which the most reactionary and fascist members of the American ruling class are amping up their capacity of repression.

if they aren’t beaten back right here, they will go for your towns and cities, your schools and universities, your local government and eventually the whole of the country.

they cannot be allowed to win this one.

This sounds like something from The Handmaid’s Tale, ffs.

This was an ad in the early 90's. I first saw it in a textbook in the late 90's, used as an example of the "slippery slope" fallacy.

Now it's over 20 years later. It's happening.

“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted

You guys know how to travel in a car with your canes, right? You know where to put them so they don’t kill you in an accident? You’re not just holding them on your lap?

For the record they go under your feet or under the seat. That’s the safest place for them except the trunk. Pls don’t let your mobility aid kill you in a freak accident

I’ve been driving with my cane wrong the entire time 😃

If this post saves even just one (1) person from ending up with a broken jaw/face/windshield I will be happy tbh

Nobody deserves to have to deal with maxillofacial surgeons or worse…. auto glass repair shops

Essential information of previous post:

If you are transfem, this shit will increase your testosterone levels.

They are lying to you to take your money. Don't fucking touch it. Tell your friends and family.

If you're desperate, DIY is an option. The subreddit r/TransDIY is an excellent resource, as is the DIY Wiki.

If what you really want is a herbal supplement, there are certain herbs that will have a minor antiandrogenic effect. The DIY resources here will have more information on it.

Edit: the dose of ashwagandha is so high that it will give you serotonin syndrome within four to eight weeks. This shit is evil.

"Fun" update on this: some people were speculating that this was some sort of right-wing anti-trans attack and not just a scam. I thought this was a bit overblown; incompetence before malice and so on. I was wrong. The page selling the products has been changed to one selling t-shirts about gas station dick pills.

Here's the page as of 16:15 UCT.

Here's the page as of 20:41 UCT. I don't recommend clicking it, but I know the masochists out there will anyways.

Some people were even speculating that this was being used to collect the information of trans people in order to doxx them; given the clearly malicious nature of these bastards, I don't think this is an unfounded fear.

Anyways, stay safe out there, and if you're doing DIY make sure to access it from reliable sources. We have networks; rely on them, not randos on Twitter.

This is an anti-trans attack; more information in previous reblog.

if god were real lesbians would have an extra 3 hours a day to hang out and fuck

Normally not this kind of guy but I was going thru the blog of someone who left a snarky comment on one of my posts n saw this n just. Objectively awful post I'm trying to hold myself back So much from breaking it down point by point. There is literally nothing "sanitized" about established bdsm terminology, you just think it's "cringe" that adults call things "play". I can So clearly tell that none of you people are actually invested in kink subculture besides vaguely referring to "leather daddies" in online arguments to #Own The Puriteens, because "scene", "-play", "squick", and etc. are all completely established and legitimate terms in the bdsm space and there is nothing "creepy" about them. Portraying bdsm as "punching people makes my dick hard" and aftercare as "cringe" is one of the most pervasive and dangerous misrepresentations of kink and bdsm and I highly doubt anyone who knew or cared at all about bdsm in the slightest could ever say something like this in full confidence

Okay I lied. I'm procrastinating on something important and thus I'm going to write very long posts about dumb things people say online.

A). There is nothing inherently "creepy" or "childish" or even "sanitized" (WHEN will this website let go of calling things "sanitized", you've really run your course with that word) with this kind of established BDSM terminology. I do petplay and "play" is really and truly the best way to describe it. BDSM is one of the few outlets (alongside things like LARPing, DnD, and fursuiting) that many adults have to engage in what is socially considered to be "play". Play is not bad, play is not "childish", it is not "creepy" to be playful about something that is often (but not always) "sexual". OP doesn't bring up the word "squick" (probably bc they know so little abt bdsm it's never come up), but I've heard the Exact same argument about "squick", which is a completely legitimate term basically all the bdsm educators I follow use.

B). This post presents a complete misunderstanding of what kink and bdsm actually is. Bdsm is not "punching people makes my dick hard", and a scene is not "having sex". Particularly within established bdsm relationships between people, they will take on roles, they will PLAY roles, which is why bdsm play is called such. A "scene" is not determined by "having sex", a conflation of kink and bdsm with having sex removes the nuances of the subculture and the nonsexual value people (including often acespec people who Do do kink which people forget about) can get out of it. I have established characters that I will play as and worlds I will play in in scenes. Bdsm does not begin and end with "having violent sex", and that is, as I said, a very common and very harmful misunderstanding. I'm not even going to Touch the presentation of aftercare as "cringe", I should not have to tell you how presenting aftercare as lame and cringey and for dumb idiot virgins is unfathomably dangerous, especially when ur idea of bdsm begins and ends with impact play.

C). Kink is not always going to be "cool". Kink is (and I say this with nothing but love in my heart for it) some theater kid nerd dnd bullshit. The memes are right, there's an overlap between people who LARP and people who do BDSM, because functionally they're extremely similar. Many people who do kink are going to be "nerdy", "weird", "cringey", and even what you people consider to be "childish" or "sanitized". We have picrew pfps and we listen to Lemon Demon and we like Nintendo games or whatever and we play! We play we play we play! People who do kink are real people with diverse hobbies and sometimes that means we're going to be "cringe", we're going to be "nerds", we're going to be unappealing to you in ways you call "sanitized" but I can really tell you just mean "not palatable to me specifically because I think it's laaaaaame". I've talked abt this before, but kink does not begin and end with "hot half-naked muscular cis man in leather pants" like you people seem to think it does. I'm sorry that you think adults having fun and taking care of each other in unconventional ways is yucky and lame and cringeeeeeee and Not Cool And Edgy And Sexy Enough. We're not all Fifty Shades of Grey!

Went back on this person's blog bc I hate myself and like three posts down they're mocking the idea of people calling bdsm "stimming" which imo is a Completely mask-off moment in who ur talking about when you talk about people who are "cringey and sanitized and too childish". This is such an interesting perspective to me because this is usually where someone dips straight into "so kink is fundamentally harmful and only for broken people and women only think they like to be beaten because their delicate female minds have been tricked into it by perverse males" but this person seems to be like. kink is Cool and Good when it's edgy and violent but it's lame and for virgins when people love each other. Objectively shitty perspective though regardless of how interesting. I can't believe people like this have the gall to be like "you should all have NASTY GAY SEX in REAL LIFE" if any of you ever had anything close to "nasty gay sex in real life" you'd know that this is the real "creep" (not my word) behavior, kink-wise

"Many species of polychaetes undergo epitoky whereby sexually immature worms transform into pelagic morphs capable of sexual reproduction. After fertilization, they release their gametes through rapid disintegration." worms are out here having insane sex we can't even comprehend

"what do they mean by disintegrate?" "oh yeah no he fucking disintegrated"

Why is this so funny

Hello everyone you might know me as an amateur researcher on antisemitism and fascism on tumblr. I’m also a dishwasher who works for a local college. They’re closed over the summer so I’ve been temporarily unemployed until the school year starts again.

My partner was working with the county health department through a temp agency until recently. Unfortunately her job has ended. We are both seeking unemployment insurance and work. But because of our jobs abruptly ending we need your support to cover the costs of rent this month.

Please support a Jewish, Latina and white trans woman and her Afro-Latina partner living in a small apartment with a young dog cover their housing and living costs this month so we avoid the risk of eviction and carry ourselves until we stabilize and return to work. You will also be supporting our ability to continue to produce revolutionary writing on fascism, racism, climate change, gender and more. You all have been so supportive over the years in so many ways. Thank you.

Please donate on cashapp to $PhoenixSinger or Venmo to @writeswrongs or PayPal at writeswrongs@gmail.com.

We need this money by the 4th of June.
