Calling Jews a bad Jew, self-hating, or anti-Semitic, because they are pro-Palestine or criticize Israel for committing a genocide is the real act of antisemitism.

Caption: [A stitch with user @/sapphicyuji. The text on screen reads, " "you can't misgender cis people!", you have never had your gender questioned outside of your transness and it shows. sincerely, a trans poc".

I'm actually super glad we're having a conversation about this. The masculinization of black and brown women, because for years I felt like I endured this unique form of trauma until I realized other people went through the same thing too. And if there's one thing that I'd like to add to the conversation, there seems to be this misconception that this is something that starts at puberty. Like boys tell you you look like a man to hurt your feeling when that's so far from the case.

The first time I was purposefully misgendered was in kindergarten. I was constantly referred to by the masculine variant of my name, I was chased out of the women's restroom, and I had grown adults questioning what my biological sex was before I even knew what the difference was. And those behaviors persisted into adulthood because now if I present as anything less than 100% feminine, people will either compare me to men or animals.

And for myself and for many other brown and black women this is a life long act deliberately intended to humiliate, shame, and other us for the features we were naturally born with and I'm glad we're having a discussion on how harmful it actually is.]

monogamous people who get defensive or outright combative when polyamory is brought up could probably stand to be told that they could actually change their perspectives somewhat if they put in actual effort. i do not have any more patience for people who are too comfortable in the thought that the ideas they've been fed about exclusivity and commitment all their life are somehow uniquely theirs, nor do i have patience for the handful of trite remarks they make about polyamory in attempts to feel clever about taking one of the most lukewarm stances in existence on something

#ENM #Structural Monogamy #monog people just hate it when you bring up that monog being the default was actively put into place by the ruling class #and that there was way more diversity in relationship structures before colonialism came in and demeaned them all #like please develop the skills to realize when you're apart of a majority group #and that that means you have bias because of it

I think what a lot of liberal zionists who think they can change the politics of Israel while maintaining its existence are missing is that Israel cannot exist in any other way than as a military asset of the United States to destabilize the region

I ordered an original piece of artwork from @lucidlymelanated and have entered the hobby of art collection in a serious capacity because of her.She is currently selling a bunch of her original works and is open for commissions. Here’s a link to her STORE 🏬

Please go show her some love! She even went out of her way to sketch one of my more recent posts;and gave me a wallet size of another sketch that she did awhile back as a bonus gift. 😭 Much love 💕

body shaped like soft serve 🍦🤤

I'm so grateful to be able to accept and enjoy the contours of my own body. Dismantling and healing from self-hatred and body dysmorphia has taken me a long, loooong time, but baby I'm here showing up for myself every day!!!

The bad body image days still exist - but I can move through those feelings instead of being dragged down by them. A few bad days will never erase my progress 🫶🏼

Fighting to accept my body, heal my eating disorders, and rewrite the toxic narratives I was taught about self-worth, beauty, and body size has been a hard but extremely worthwhile journey. Honestly it's saved my life.

You CAN change your internal narrative and rewrite your own story with love and acceptance for yourself, and I hope that you do 💗 we deserve love and tenderness from ourselves most of all!!
