#radicalize yourself

[embraceyourdestiny]

to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:

reading a fucking book. i beg of you.

in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.

read about americas occupations in the middle east.

read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.

read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.

and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.

dont look away from this.

you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.

if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.

you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.

wake the fuck up.

Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help

#og #truly if youre not about it your against it and i dont fuck with you because you're complacent #wake the fuck up #we're all responsible and dont you dare say you're not #americans need to stop living in the world with their eyes closed and their ears covered #look at what your fucking 'glorious country' is doing to people #everyone should be against america no fucking exceptions because america is violent and evil and needs to be stopped #then read about what america has done to the natives of their land #radicalize yourself #decolonize your mind #free palestine #land back #palestine will be free #theres too many fucking movements of just the past couple years all happening at once to act like the world is fucking fine #we are in a human rights CRISIS #WAKE THE FUCK UP PLEASE

a good experience more people on this website should have is confidently bringing up some leftist talking point you picked up from tumblr around family members, only for them to ask extremely basic and predictable followup questions/rebuttals that you have no response to because you just internalized the three-paragraph post with 3k notes. this only needs to happen a few times for the lesson to stick and the sooner the better

#whenever you see a radical post that you agree with just imagine yourself reading it off to the most contentious person you know #and if you can't think of answers to their most predictable questions maybe go back and read the post again or even (gasp) do some research

I have found that the biggest deterrent to assholes is asking "why?" Over and over.

"We can't have universal healthcare!"

Why?

"Because I don't wanna pay for a strangers health!"

Why?

"Because if they can't afford their own health care that isn't my problem!"

Why?

And so on and so on. Keep making them dig. Keep making them explain until they can't anymore and are faced with nothing but the ugly mask of bias and prejudice. Only then can they truly see that taking it off is an option. Whether they do or not is up to them. And that choice tells you whether they deserve more of your energy or not.

Trans kids can't be trans. Why? Why not? Why?

Free food is bad for ppl. Why? Why? Why? Why is feeding ppl bad?

Why?

Why is helping one another bad?

Why is doing what humans are genetically designed to do, to help and care for one another to ensure survival, bad?

#money aside #just think about it #then realize we HAVE the money #we have the money to fund all of this #through laundering in goverments and billionares who refuse to share wealth for the bettermemt of mankind #then get angry #and be radicalized #helping your fellow man through kindness is the biggest fuck you to capitalism #anti capitalism #politics #democratic socialism #socialism #eat the rich #and do this to yourself when you have bias #why did you think that way or do that action? #why was this your first response difference? #dig until you cant...and take off the mask

A woman would call the most well articulated essay you've ever read a "ramble" while a man would call his shittyreddit post an "intellectual thinkpiece"

actually, to have the audacity to live, to take up space, is the scariest and most rewarding gift you can give yourself.

how to avoid becoming/getting back into any harmful community

go offline (seriously. Online is not necessary)

block tags and block people. (Your online safety does not have to cater to others I promise)

Follow unrelated tags to drown it out (like art tags, Uhm… gardening?)

Get hobbies (seriously, distract yourself if possible!)

anyone else feel free to add on (or don’t idc)

Also: things like discourse can be addictive and detrimental to one’s health, remember to put yourself first!

uhm… this is probably not gonna get much traction but this is also kind of a me thing so yea :3

If your definition of being a 'real woman' is having XX chromosomes, then you should know there's cis women who have male (XY) chromosomes. Conditions like Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome and Swyer syndrome prove it. Your biological sex doesn't define your gender identity.

In conditions like Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), individuals assigned female at birth with XY chromosomes typically have a vagina and may have a short or underdeveloped uterus and fallopian tubes, but they typically lack functional ovaries. In Swyer syndrome, individuals with XY chromosomes have female internal reproductive organs, including a uterus and fallopian tubes, but they typically lack functional gonads (ovaries). These variations highlight the complexity of biological development and gender identity.

Would you refer to these cis women with he/him pronouns for having male chromosomes like you do with trans women?

Before you say 'but these people are rare' just know that Refusing to acknowledge individuals with conditions like Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) and Swyer syndrome because of their rarity is ignorant and narrow-minded. Their existence punches holes in simplistic gender narratives, whether you like it or not. Dismissing them only reveals your unwillingness to confront the complexity of human biology and identity.

Sorry, but topics such as science, logic, and facts are not on your side.

Why is the 1950’s the standard for ‘traditional’? Why not the 1930s, when women wore pants and had jobs? Why is that not traditional? Why do people only talk about tradition when it comes to a ‘woman’s place?’ Why don’t we grow our own food? That’s traditional, yet these people that love to talk of tradition love freezer meals. Why don’t we listen to traditional music? Why is it that men are so concerned with the role of women, why does traditionally come into play there? Why does no one talk about the fact that some women in the 1950s worked? Why is the 1950s housewife the ideal? I just don’t get it.

#if you want to put women into that role i don’t think you actually love women #any woman for that matter #if you say a woman belongs in the home i think you should kill yourself #radical feminism #this isn’t even radical but damn libfems are leaning into this. choice feminism is going to hurt all of us

look I have a degree in art history and there is literally nothing more tedious than when a regular person sees a photo and says it reminds them of a renaissance painting and then some unstoppable dick rolls in with the "uhhh I think you mean baroque”.

prison. fucking forty years in prison. 

#'frankenstein was the DOCTOR'S name' how about you go fuck yourself #we know what people mean!!! #honestly I believe we can rehabilitate far right radicals more than we can rehabilitate terminal 'um ACTually' interjectors #it's rude!! you're rude!! #ugh!!

Most of the gold star lesbians I follow and interact with on here are from religions, cultures, or countries that are considered extremely homophobic. The severe disconnect from gold star haters. These dumbasses with their tiny pea brains spout fucking nonsense in their attempt to represent these so called underprivileged lesbians. Only women from first world countries OR from wealthy families can sleep around with no repercussions. Talk about privilege, look in the damn. fucking. mirror.

Stop speaking for lesbians because you’ll never be one. Stop using lesbians from underprivileged and homophobic backgrounds to fuel your shit arguments.

you can always start again. clean up your socials, make new playlists, donate clothes you no longer wear. try out a new recipe, move to a new city and make new friends, pick up new hobbies you never thought of before. there is no limit to how many times you can press the reset button. it's okay to change and start over. you don't need anyone's permission to do it.

"Females can't help but display their sexuality" - you mean you can't look at parts of our normal, natural bodies without sexually objectifying them. Because you are porn-addled.

yeah i can’t stop thinking about the parallels between hearth and alex’s backstories… they were both born into a life that, under slightly different circumstances, would have offered them a lot of privilege. their families had a ton of money and a good social status, and hearth and alex were, in many ways, set up for success.

but there was a catalyst for each of them, something that ended up setting them up for failure instead - the way hearth’s father reacted to him being deaf and alex’s father reacted to her being trans. both of them, despite being born into a life that would have offered them plenty, ended up ostracized and shunned from their families. constantly ridiculed and criticized and blamed for something they couldn’t control and didn’t ask for, but in a better world should have been able to celebrate. hearth should have been able to celebrate his deafness and alex should have been able to celebrate her transness, but they were both robbed of that. they were robbed of their childhoods, growing up in toxic environments and spending their formative years being abused, all for some of the only people in their lives who understood them or cared about them to die.

and yet, each of them were able to cut ties and make their own way in the world. they both managed to build a better life from the ground up, bringing together a solid group of friends to spend the rest of their life (or afterlife) with. they were both taught to hate themselves, spent every day of their childhoods being mistreated by their fathers and told they were worthless, and yet in the end they both manage to undo all that and learn how to love themselves. they learn how to celebrate the very same parts of themselves that their fathers tried to stamp out, choosing instead to surround themselves by people who care about them.

additionally, they both embody the paradox of wanting to distance themselves from their parentage and yet simultaneously reclaim it. alex wants nothing to do with any of her parents, yet deliberately reclaims loki’s urnes snake symbol. hearth has no desire to be associated with his father or former life, but reclaims the rune of inheritance.

but in reclaiming their past, neither of them return to it. alex doesn't try to go back to her house after being kicked out. hearth accepts the othala rune in the end, but after his father is killed, never returns to alfheim again. they take what's theirs, leave, and never look back. so, both of their journeys ultimately involve leaving their former lives behind - giving up privilege, wealth, social status, and the acceptance of others in order to be themselves. becoming the people they want to be, rather than the people society and their fathers wanted them to be.

#anyway if you need me i'll be in the next room chewing on plywood #i never stop thinking about this #resilience and radical self-love and whatnot. identity. embracing the parts of yourself you were taught to repress etc etc #i really wish it had been explored more in canon #i have so many thoughts about hearth and othala and his father's heart & alex and her tattoo #i plan to write a separate meta about that once i'm finished rereading the books #my words #mcga #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #hearthstone #alex fierro #meta #also othala autocorrected to ithaca lmao #every time i think i'm done with this i end up adding more so i'm going to post it now lol
