Its Also Important To Remember That Something A Person Gets Off To Fictionally Isnt Always Something

It’s also important to remember that something a person gets off to fictionally isn’t always something they condone or would practice in real life!

Do I think that the idea of a character like Albert Wesker or Medic Tf2 cutting me open is mad hot? Yes. Would I ever let someone do that to me in real life? Fuck no.

Some fantasies are concept-only, and just because you read about them and enjoy it doesn’t mean you necessarily want to do them in real life.

in order to not succumb to sex negative conservatism you have to accept that people will get off to things that are upsetting to you. and you cannot assume anything about what they have or have not experienced, what they do or do not believe, and how they act based solely on what gets them off. even if it's extremely confusing and disturbing to you. there are people who have only ever had heterosexual vanilla sex in missionary with the lights off, who actively contribute to more real world harm than your average fetish artist. kink is not a reliable source of information on someone's moral standing. it just feels good to think that way.

Voters in both England and France just used tactical voting, and voted for candidates they didn’t necessarily love to ensure that the unacceptable candidate would lose. And kept the unacceptable party from taking power.

Like. In the last four days, both of those elections happened.

The left wing alliance in France saw LaPen’s party winning in the first round of voting and hated that so hard that 138 of their candidates who were in third place — and could have split the vote — dropped out, and told their voters to vote for the one that would stop the RN from taking control.

It worked.

People in the UK went aggressively tactical. The Labour Party has turned to be much much more centrist in the last five years. Got voted for anyway, because it got the Tories out.

It worked.

I don’t know if Biden will stay in. I don’t know it’s the right choice for him to stay or go. As interested as I am in politics, this is an incredibly complex thing and one of the most important decisions of the decade.

But y’all. Don’t care how that goes. We’re voting to prevent the fascists from winning.

I hate being poor bc it's like "I need to help people" "wait I have a total of a bag of bread and a brick of cheese in my fridge and the cheese went moldy" anyway if anyone knows ways for me to help that don't cost money or require physical protests (I do not feel comfortable or safe at them) tell me (is there like a script to email to senators? Bc I could do that).

Wanted to let you guys know that Let’s Talk Palestine has just launched fundsforgaza, an initiative created for the purpose of highlighting families in urgent need of emergency funds. This list highlights families who’re trying to evacuate Gaza, but which aren’t getting enough attention. Please donate if you can—and whether or not you can, spread this to as many people as possible. The delay between this second and the next could make a difference in whether a family gets to live or not.

the idea of a privileged trans paradise, especially within the United States, is an absolute lie. There are places where violence is more likely and less likely, depending on the population size and political/cultural breakdown, but you can be killed for being trans in New York or Portland. You can be harassed or denied treatment or fired or evicted for being trans in Seattle or Los Angeles. Your legal ability to defend yourself against this will differ but the harm done to you will not change. Protection of trans people is less about where you are and more about who you're with. Trans people and queers in general have had to protect one another in a hostile world for decades. With the liberalization/capitalization of trans and queer spaces and greater dependence on online communities came a breakdown of this survival community. That's why we have shit like Plume eating up the airwaves with their subscription based bullshit giving you info you could've gotten at the local queer/trans support group before it disbanded. Isolation is your greatest weakness. No matter where you are or how safe you feel, get a fucking crew, people you're friends with or just people in the area who will have your back. Get each other's numbers, stay in contact, and ANSWER THE CALL WHEN YOU GET IT
