#tw: alt right

[ktempestbradford]

Yet Another Thing Black women and BIPOC women in general have been warning you about since forever that you (general You; societal You; mostly WytFolk You) have ignored or dismissed, only for it to come back and bite you in the butt.

I'd hoped people would have learned their lesson with Trump and the Alt-Right (remember, Black women in particular warned y'all that attacks on us by brigading trolls was the test run for something bigger), but I guess not.

Any time you wanna get upset about how AI is ruining things for artists or writers or workers at this job or that, remember that BIPOC Women Warned You and then go listen extra hard to the BIPOC women in your orbit and tell other people to listen to BIPOC women and also give BIPOC women money.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

Give them money via PayPal or Ko-fi or Venmo or Patreon or whatever. Hire them. Suggest them for that creative project/gig you can't take on--or you could take it on but how about you toss the ball to someone who isn't always asked?

Oh, and stop asking BIPOC women to save us all. Because, as you see, we tried that already. We gave you the roadmap on how to do it yourselves. Now? We're tired.

Of the trolls, the alt-right, the colonizers, the tech bros, the billionaires, the other scum... and also you. You who claim to be progressive, claim to be an ally, spend your time talking about what sucks without doing one dang thing to boost the signal, make a change in your community (online or offline), or take even the shortest turn standing on the front lines and challenging all that human garbage that keeps collecting in the corners of every space with more than 10 inhabitants.

We Told You. Octavia Butler Told You. Audre Lorde Told You. Sydette Harry Told You. Mikki Kendall Told You. Timnit Gebru Told You.

When are you gonna listen?

Homemaking, gardening, and self-sufficiency resources that won't radicalize you into a hate group

It seems like self-sufficiency and homemaking skills are blowing up right now. With the COVID-19 pandemic and the current economic crisis, a lot of folks, especially young people, are looking to develop skills that will help them be a little bit less dependent on our consumerist economy. And I think that's generally a good thing. I think more of us should know how to cook a meal from scratch, grow our own vegetables, and mend our own clothes. Those are good skills to have.

Unfortunately, these "self-sufficiency" skills are often used as a recruiting tactic by white supremacists, TERFs, and other hate groups. They become a way to reconnect to or relive the "good old days," a romanticized (false) past before modern society and civil rights. And for a lot of people, these skills are inseparably connected to their politics and may even be used as a tool to indoctrinate new people.

In the spirit of building safe communities, here's a complete list of the safe resources I've found for learning homemaking, gardening, and related skills. Safe for me means queer- and trans-friendly, inclusive of different races and cultures, does not contain Christian preaching, and does not contain white supremacist or TERF dog whistles.

Homemaking/Housekeeping/Caring for your home:

Making It by Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen [book] (The big crunchy household DIY book; includes every level of self-sufficiency from making your own toothpaste and laundry soap to setting up raised beds to butchering a chicken. Authors are explicitly left-leaning.)

Safe and Sound: A Renter-Friendly Guide to Home Repair by Mercury Stardust [book] (A guide to simple home repair tasks, written with rentals in mind; very compassionate and accessible language.)

How To Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis [book] (The book about cleaning and housework for people who get overwhelmed by cleaning and housework, based on the premise that messiness is not a moral failing; disability and neurodivergence friendly; genuinely changed how I approach cleaning tasks.)

Gardening

Rebel Gardening by Alessandro Vitale [book] (Really great introduction to urban gardening; explicitly discusses renter-friendly garden designs in small spaces; lots of DIY solutions using recycled materials; note that the author lives in England, so check if plants are invasive in your area before putting them in the ground.)

Country/Rural Living:

Woodsqueer by Gretchen Legler [book] (Memoir of a lesbian who lives and works on a rural farm in Maine with her wife; does a good job of showing what it's like to be queer in a rural space; CW for mentions of domestic violence, infidelity/cheating, and internalized homophobia)

"Debunking the Off-Grid Fantasy" by Maggie Mae Fish [video essay] (Deconstructs the off-grid lifestyle and the myth of self-reliance)

Sewing/Mending:

Annika Victoria [YouTube channel] (No longer active, but their videos are still a great resource for anyone learning to sew; check out the beginner project playlist to start. This is where I learned a lot of what I know about sewing.)

Make, Sew, and Mend by Bernadette Banner [book] (A very thorough written introduction to hand-sewing, written by a clothing historian; lots of fun garment history facts; explicitly inclusive of BIPOC, queer, and trans sewists.)

Sustainability/Land Stewardship

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer [book] (Most of you have probably already read this one or had it recommended to you, but it really is that good; excellent example of how traditional animist beliefs -- in this case, indigenous American beliefs -- can exist in healthy symbiosis with science; more philosophy than how-to, but a great foundational resource.)

Wild Witchcraft by Rebecca Beyer [book] (This one is for my fellow witches; one of my favorite witchcraft books, and an excellent example of a place-based practice deeply rooted in the land.)

Avoiding the "Crunchy to Alt Right Pipeline"

Note: the "crunchy to alt-right pipeline" is a term used to describe how white supremacists and other far right groups use "crunchy" spaces (i.e., spaces dedicated to farming, homemaking, alternative medicine, simple living/slow living, etc.) to recruit and indoctrinate people into their movements. Knowing how this recruitment works can help you recognize it when you do encounter it and avoid being influenced by it.

"The Crunchy-to-Alt-Right Pipeline" by Kathleen Belew [magazine article] (Good, short introduction to this issue and its history.)

Sisters in Hate by Seyward Darby (I feel like I need to give a content warning: this book contains explicit descriptions of racism, white supremacy, and Neo Nazis, and it's a very difficult read, but it really is a great, in-depth breakdown of the role women play in the alt-right; also explicitly addresses the crunchy to alt-right pipeline.)

These are just the resources I've personally found helpful, so if anyone else has any they want to add, please, please do!

One of my biggest pieces of advice for those taking injectable hormones is to make sure you're injecting at the right angle

For intramuscular (IM), you inject at a 90° angle.

For subcutaneous (SQ), you inject at a 45° angle.

Here is a graphic depicting what the angle of your injection should look like:

I connected the dots (ie I saw two rottmnt dtiys challenges involving cars and decided to combine them)

AU crossover time! Featuring @angelpuns's Leo and @onionninjasstuff's Donnie and Mikey.

They saw Barbie in theaters, robbed the US government, and got ice cream afterward.

(In my mind this is post villain pb+j "redemption", meaning they're still gleefully destructive, but now also get along with their long lost family.)

Bonus:

#leo can have a little crime. as a treat #(i really didn't want it to be angsty) #this might be the most involved peice of fanart ive ever attempted #was it fun? yes. was it a pain in the butt? also yes #pizza supreme i had to draw CARS for this! #fun fact- Donnies gun is based off of a nerf gun. it felt like the right amount of extra #also: this is my first time using alt text. image ids are harder than i thought #rottmnt #rottmnt fanart #rottmnt fancomic #my art #rottmnt dtiys #rottmnt au #villain pb&j duo #kid leo au #unrealistic sci fi gun but jic #tw gun #cw gun #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt mikey #rottmnt leo #rottmnt raph

Noticing a scary trend of young girl artists, like freshly 18-19 or even underage, drawing lolicon bait, hard-core guro, and shock content with a similar throwback anime style and undercurrent of nostalgia for early internet, especially 4chan. It seems to me the face of the alt right in the 2010s was gamergate and "non-threatening white men" and now we're moving into a weird era of women being thrown out as the public figures for regressive movements. The same alt right stuff is being filtered through a soft, sweet lense and now that "nazis don't look like that" doesn't work they go with "nazis can't be xyz group." It's happening with tradwives and terfs and now the legacy of groups like kali-yuga accelerationism who made the grooming of young girls a huge part of their whole thing is spreading wider.

This artist who goes viral on pinterest all the time and sneaks tons of dogwhistles into their work is the face of this to me. This artist is a black girl who is speculated to be underage. Her friend group contains adult white men who clearly teach her these things and she is clearly being taken advantage of, and her grooming has proved advantageous as her visual language is spreading further. I believe the same artist also rebranded on furry Twitter doing a similar nostalgia bait style.

I guess this is just a PSA to be aware of the changing face of the alt right and to be wary of nostalgia bait even for things that seem absurd to turn into a valorized past. They seem to be focusing on the edgelord libertarian internet of the 2000s as the new way to smuggle in alt right bullshit and actual child abuse is involved in the process.

taylor swift’s alt right supporters are eager for her to get pregnant by travis kelce, so she can “increase the birth rate.”

and when they talk about birth rates they mean WHITE birth rates ofc, these are all alt right neo nazi accounts (if you couldn’t tell with usernames like “racism enjoyer” and “antisemitic”) including Richard Spencer himself. if taylor dated a guy who wasn’t white, they would not be wishing pregnancy on her right now.

once again, taylor’s alt right supporters are growing bolder and louder and we know taylor will do absolutely NOTHING to disavow them. because taylor makes too much money from them to “alienate” them.

even taylor’s former music video director, joseph kahn, has joined in and started parroting these creepy alt right talking points. it’s all very dystopian and unnerving. 🙃

#shit swifties say #idk i’m lumping them in with swifties because swifties are also eager for taylor to get pregnant ASAP by travis #and literally making predictions on when that will happen 💀 #anti taylor swift #anti joseph kahn #tw alt right #tw neo nazis

FYI just want people to know that the abbreviation of Omegaverse with and without the slashes is a very real world derogatory slur that has been hurled towards Indigenous Aboriginal Australians for centuries. I obviously understand not everyone is fully aware of Australia's history of institutionalized racism, genocide of traditional land owners and the stolen generation etc., but seeing the Omegaverse abbreviation everywhere is genuinely frustrating especially when people are ignorant to the actual serious implications of the word when put into a different cultural context.

EDIT: it should be noted that is also frustrating that people outside of Australia don't really know much about it's racist history (which is no fault of their own, hell even my education on Australian history back in primary school was abysmal and never mentioned the countless genocides the English settlers caused on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people during colonization), but that's a whole other wider conversation - and even then you should be looking for Indigenous Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander Voices if you want learn about Australia's history.

#i'm pretty sure aboriginal australians in fandom have been saying this for YEARS but obviously people ignore them #due to fandom racism or just plain ignorant that fandom isn't an america only thing. #racism tw #auspol #omegaverse #ok to reblog #if it looks and sounds like a slur it most likely is one! #omegaverse tw #added edit because i realise that it's also frustrating that people outside Australia don't really know about said country's racist history #obviously thats part of a wider conversation of history education and how we should learn more about other countries in school #i get university and college cover that but people don't know that until their either go to uni or find out that info about other countries #through endless wikipedia article searches #this also doesn't even cover how people are actively re-writing or whitewashing history in educational settings #to push a specific (usually conservative alt right) agenda

It's so hard to find pro-para stuff that's actually safe for me as a POC person because holy fuck I keep running into radqueers (aka the "blackface/redface/etc. is my identityyyy!!! wahhhh" white people and people who are so far gone with internalized racism they want to be white) and I just am so tired of horrifically bigotted people.

Radqueers are the same as alt-righters and I'm tired of them pretending they're anything but reactionary bigots who would kill minorities like me if given the chance. We should not be giving the alt-right any ground. Radqueers are a massive alt-right group that are actively trying to advocate to do violence and horrific things to minorities through the spread of ideologies such as nazism.

Shigeo swallows—breathes in deep. He stares down at their interlocked fingers, wonders if they thought this out properly, wonders what would happen if they didn’t. He swallows again and it makes him feel even more ill. He nods, breathes, nods again, and then tenses his hand. Shigeo lets his energy funnel to the forefront and separates it into globs that he splits and splits and splits again, and he sends just a trickle, just a drop, just a test, from his palm. Teruki screams.
