My other favorite thing about the internet 

some people say it’s an echo chamber, but I would say it’s more akin to a thousand different echo chambers. There’s discord servers, private twitter feeds, tumblr mutual circles. An initial idea can get into one of these and bounce around it a whole bunch, changing along the way, before one of them brings it back out into the wider world, by which point it can seem very odd and undecipherable to any/everyone else. For instance:

white canadians really think that because their country is perhaps less racist then the united states, this means it's not a racist country, when the reality is that "less racist than the united states" is just a very low bar to clear.

Delusional is a neutral descriptor.

Psychotic is a neutral descriptor.

Narcissistic is a neutral descriptor.

The only reason you see those as inherently negative descriptors is because society demonizes people who fit those descriptors. There is nothing inherently threatening about delusional, psychotic, and narcissistic people.

Soft skills for the apocalypse

Let’s face it, if the world ends, so many of us will flee somewhere else for safety that we’ll end right back up in communities again. There’s going to be more to it than growing your own food and knitting handspun socks.

I’m linking to resources, but a many of these skills, being interpersonal, are best taught in live trainings by professional instructors, where you can see and feel all the interpersonal dynamics going on in the room, and by experience, trying them out on real people in an educational setting.

When the world ends, it will be helpful to be able to::

Run a meeting

Peacefully negotiate

De-escalate a potentially violent situation

Organize a community

Cope when you’re having a panic attack

Co-regulate to help a child keep calm

Identify community resources

Protest safely and peacefully

Even small local pieces of activism today, like organizing a protest march or lobbying your municipal government to make public spaces more accessible, have a double reward: There’s the work you’re doing, and the skills you learn when you do it.

“Delusional people don’t know they’re delusional! If you know it’s a delusion, you’re saying it’s not real!”

I call myself delusional because I know that my reality (that is, that I’m not a real person/not human/don’t exist) is not the general, accepted reality. I know it’s a delusion because everyone else says it’s not real, that my reality is wrong. And it’s still real to me, I’m still not a real person. Calling it a delusion because that part of my reality is not the general reality is not calling it fake, it’s just a statement of fact.

Monica Lewinsky is funnier than all of the comedians who made shitty jokes about her.

The only people who get upset when you set boundaries are the ones who benefited from you having none.

honestly im kinda done w most of the dudes who are like “””transmasc activists””” bc very little of what they talk about is relevant to my struggles or the struggles of the guys around me. like, i’m sure happy theres skinny cis passing str8 dudes here to do another pronouns 101 and talk about how gr8 ur cis girlfriend is for respecting ur gender and like do a photoshoot with a company that makes £30 underwear or whatever. but like, are you at like any point gonna talk abt the fact that >50% of trans men are survivors of sexual violence?? you gonna talk about the huge likelihood that trans boys have attempted suicide (>50%)?? you gonna talk abt the fact that almost a third of urban trans men have been or are sex workers?? you gonna talk abt the rates of alcohol and drug abuse in our community?? you gonna talk abt the fact that 36% of us are survivors of domestic violence?? or you just gonna continue w the vapid, empty platitudes that only vaguely resemble meaningful activism
