A tumblr post by VisGrapplingHooks posted 1 day ago that says "women will be sexualized and objectified for particular attributes of themselves in ways that intersect with other hierarchies, the intersectionality of exoticism is an understated part of patriarchal sexism. fat girls will be fetishized for being fat, asian girls will be fetishized for asian features, fat asian girls will be fetishized for both of these things. non-op trans women will be fetishized for having penises, post-op trans women will be fetishized for simply having trans identity. there is no escaping and no way out because the common thread here is that all intersections are subsumed into the commodity form of womanhood. fem beingness is collapsed into a body-identity-commodity."

It has the tags "#intersectional feminism #feminism #'women' is a stand-in for fems as a social concept #the being-ness of womanhood is to be collapsed into the body-identity-commodity"

I brought my reusable bag to the store today so it completely balances this out."

A tweet by lovable /liberal and his Old English sheep that says "It now appears that some ICE agents are stealing from people they're arresting. This agent was photographed with a gold bracelet he took off a man in Minnesota. Your thoughts?" and a response from kelly @broadWayBabyTo that says "The Nazis did this as well. They would steal the belongings from Jewish people as they loaded them on trains to the camps. Disgusting seeing it happening again." with a picture of an ICE agent with a large gold chain.

A tumblr post by VisGrapplingHooks that says "you can know all the tricks for communicating as an autistic person and people will still take the least charitable interpretation of what you said and blame you for their misreading of your words, accuse you of backtracking when you correct them, and double down just to be shitty. no wonder so many of us are under the false belief that we don't use hidden meanings or implications when this is how we're treated."

It has the tags "#autism #actually autistic #neurodivergence #neurodivergent #there is no communication without implication #if you think you speak “directly” and have no implications you are wrong #but it's understandable why you'd think that way considering the Trauma"

Alt text: A Tumblr post by kirbyOfTheStars that says ">'mannish features' > look inside > literally just common physical traits among women of colour. you can't separate transmisogyny from racism. the radical feminism movement is so overwhelmingly white because their idea of what a woman is so thoroughly steeped in white supremacy." and a response from iSuggestRespectTransPeople "You can't separate transmisogyny from racism. Very important to remember"

Alt Text: Screenshot of a Tumblr post by ceebycee discussing how executive function aids habit-building, contrasting it with self-discipline, and describing the author’s personal experience with tooth brushing and neurodivergence.

The text states:

"Self-Discipline Isn’t Always the Answer"

"So I wasn’t really taught to brush my teeth every day as a kid. So I didn’t. I got to be an adult and realized “hmm teeth are expensive I need to start brushing them” and brushing my teeth twice a day has been on my actual to do list every single day of my college career. It’s a habit I needed to build."

"Have I successfully done it? Absolutely not. I’m pretty good about doing it at least once a day, but some days it just doesn’t happen. It’s not that I forget usually, I just had some aversion I couldn’t figure out, until last week."

"I’m at the grocery store, in the toothpaste aisle with my roommate, and I complain about how much I hate mint.

"I hate the taste of mint (In all caps) The taste and the smell, any kind of minty thing in any form, I hate it. (In all caps) But literally every “adult” toothpaste in the aisle was some type of minty disgusting nonsense. And my roommate was like “you know you could like get kids’ toothpaste? You like bubblegum right?”

"And yall, it was like the clouds parted."

"I got some strawberry bubblegum kids’ toothpaste. I brushed my teeth with it and it was a whole new experience. I have successfully brushed twice a day every day since, because the mental block I had towards it is gone!"

"I thought my lack of brushing was just a moral failing on my part; I was too lazy, too undisciplined, to build a good habit. But really? I just hate the taste of mint so much I didn’t want to brush my teeth."

"This made me realize that when presented with a change you want to make, a habit you want to build, if you're encountering resistance in yourself, you should lean into that resistance and really investigate what's causing it, then work on accommodating that."

"Say you hate washing dishes so they pile up and then you’re overwhelmed by how many you have to do. Why do you hate it? Deep down, what about it do you dislike? Is touching wet food super gross for you? Try thick rubber gloves while you're washing. Does the sound of dishing clanking together grate your nerves? Do them with headphones in and turned up loud. Do you hate the smell? Light some candles, spray some air freshener."

"Do these things instead of gritting your teeth and forcing yourself, then ultimately failing and getting discouraged by your “lack of self-discipline”

"TL;DR: When a task is consistently hard for you, relying on self-discipline, forcing yourself, and gritting through doesn’t always work. Lean in and listen to your discomfort, and find what makes the task hard, then try to accommodate that. Also, mint toothpaste is gross."

A tumblr post by yardsards that says "was doing a first aid course and it kept talking about how when applying first aid to a child you have to ask the parent for consent and how the child's consent is not enough unless you cannot reach the parent. and then immediately after there was a unit on shaken baby syndrome, and then mentioned abuse as a common source of children getting injured. and they didn't see the irony there. I later asked the instructor what to do about parental consent if the medical emergency was from the parent abusing the child and she was like 'you still need to obtain parental consent. you can report the abuse though' not even acknowledging how fucked the whole system is. I hate it here. youth rights now"

A tumblr post by "CommunistKenobi" posted jul 20th that says "everyone rightfully complains about how the r word is back in vogue now but I think the people talking about how using ChatGPT makes you a small brained lazy degenerate are getting off way too easy"

A tumblr post by "VisGrapplingHooks" posted 1 day ago that says "no i just really think maybe you should be introspecting why your default insult for a woman is always "bitch" and your default insult for men is something like "asshole" or "dick" and that maybe you have internalized misogyny and gender-sex essentialism going here. and that the script flips and you call men "bitch" as an insult when the offenses they are committing are more subtle and associated with femininity. do you think maybe that means something."

A 4-panel comic with muted colours.

A person with neck-length black hair in a long white dress looks forwards with tears in their eyes and a slight nervous smile, saying: "right now, I'm in pain."

This person is revealed to be standing barefoot on a beach near the water, looking at another person with a long white dress and red hair, also barefoot. This second person asks, with a worried and shocked expression, "why?" "because of me?"

The first person responds "no, because of this fucking crab." while an orange crab is shown with its pincer grabbing one of their big toes.

A tweet by Campbell Newman that says "It's not free. It's paid for by taxpayers. And why should people pay for the 'free' lunch of other people' children?" And a response from Roxy that says "Free lunches for children is such an easy litmus test. If you are against it. I can easily disregard anything you ever say and forget you exist entirely.

A tweet by black botanists @creativeTiana that says "I was talking to someone about planting food and fruit trees in public spaces and they were like 'why so everyone can steal the food' and I was like 'see, that's the problem right there. Why should taking fruit off a public tree be stealing?"

A 4 panel meme of two birds talking to each other in a tree. The first says "I want to be a girl, but I don't like feminine things." The other says "your a tom boy". The next panel has the first bird saying "what?" with the second bird saying "being a trans tomboy is valid" The third panel has that first bird sitting there and staring. The final panel has them looking up and saying "what?" again. There is a watermark in the corner that says FalseKnees.com@2017

A portion of a Tumblr thread about online leftist organizing.

Initial post from user @psychotic-gerard

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

Reply from user @orchidvioletindigo

There's a disconnect happening here because the primary function of social media for most casual users is to form a circle of friends around the usual things that friendships are built on: shared interests and lifestyles and ideas of what is important and what is unacceptable. When people are mainly doing leftism on social media, this encourages thinking of leftism as centered around establishing high-minded social clubs.

For anyone who still isn't getting it from someone who helps people IRL: There's a difference between whom you're helping to feed at the mealshare and whom you're choosing to hang out with for fun after the mealshare. You don't have to invite a hungry person with opinions you don't like to play board games with you, but you do have to help keep them from starving if you're serious about leftist organizing.

A Tumblr post by lifeAfterPsychiatry that says "It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat frozen than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything."
