there isn't any afaik i just wanted to say they're good

whenever it comes to identities you dont understand and you want to understand, its bad to come out of the gate with "this thing doesnt make any sense to me, how can you POSSIBLY be a he/him lesbian, he/him are MALE pronouns." because youre making it clear to whoever youre speaking to that youre coming not from a place of wanting to learn but instead from a place of reactionary confusion.

kill the part of your brain that gets defensive or frustrated when you learn about things that you find hard to understand

the 'I'll be your dad' statements 

I know these are done in loving gestures, but they inadvertently are reminders that a figure that is supposed to represent unconditional love in fact represents trauma.
You, as a person, will not be my dad or someone else's dad that you are not already parenting or are going to parent.
You cannot step into someone's adult life particularly being the comparable age and assume the role of parent.
If anything it is accidentally hurtful.

People on masto have been taking down the bullshit reactionary arguments about how Pride is "inappropriate for children". Mads has talked about how those arguments relate to transmisogyny.

Apologies if I've missed it, but I'd like to briefly add that all these arguments are also racist, white supremacist specifically.

The hypothetical Child in these arguments, so innocent and fragile and needing of protection, is white. In reality, actual children of color, especially black children, face violence from fash and white supremacists and imperialists on all fronts. I'm going to let black people take the lead in discussing any details, but the information is out there if you look for it.

Also, at least on tumblr, while many well-meaning, good faith people may reblog "Pride is inappropriate for children" posts, the origins of the posts are fash and crypto-fash blogs. The fact that there is still hysteria about Pride parades in a year where a global pandemic has delayed parades indefinitely, indicates to me that most of these posts are a fascist, transmisogynist, racist psy-op.

conservatives on twitter posting pics of tagged up and toppled george washington statues like “this is what antifa wants” and im like “fuck yea, dude. thats dope.”

Anyone who legitimately uses the word "lazy" against other people is an asshole, a shithead, and a fuckface

you've heard of platonic solids, now get ready for solids with benefits

Dismantle the whole idea of “high tech”. Why isn’t a sewing machine considered as high tech? How many tech-bros are able to handle a sewing machine? How many woman were and are fabricating protective masks for the pandemic by operating a sewing machine? How many provide clothes for the whole planet since centuries? Not only the work is undervalued but also their technical skills.

Y’all: Rioting and looting doesn’t do anything.

Historians: The only thing in history that has worked for the general public inciting change has been a riot,a protest, or a looting- like the Civil Rights Movement, Suffragettes, and Stonewall.

Y’all: Well, violence isn’t the answer

Historians: MLK was peaceful and you still shot him dead, and America is one of the most historically violent countries in the world, how ironic.

JUST SAY YOU DON’T SUPPORT BLACK LIVES MATTER AND LEAVE instead of finding an excuse as to why you shouldn’t care that again and again and again Black people are completely brutalised by police and police are never criminalized for it.

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempts to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary." - Karl Marx

Never let them tell you the "radical Antifa terrorist left" is pushing gun control. The left has always been armed (see the black panthers and EZLN, both of whom knew that armed community defense was vital in the struggle against capital and the state). And when 2A chuds talk about armed rebellion against a tyrannical government...

well, you know what they say about stopped clocks.

electoralism is near useless from the standpoint of any hard leftist looking to achieve more than crumbs, but also within that system, the US has a history of voter suppression as long as the history of the country itself, so it's safe to say that even within the usefulness of voting (which only really applies to liberal politics), there are definitely folks who want it to stop being useful.

Also, voting doesn't make you a "bad leftist". Sure most candidates aren't worth voting for and voting for a neolib candidate would make you a bad leftist, but saying that voting just at all makes you a bad leftist is like saying that buying things makes you a bad socialist. We exist under electoralism as we do under capitalism, the difference being capitalism is much more present in the day to day.

Just, ending thoughts,
-Voter suppression is real
-We don't have to vote but if there's a non-neolib candidate on a ballot why not
-some third thing that i can't think of, fuck it.
