As we approach June and the anniversary of Stonewall, I just want to remind everyone that twerfs/terfs have no connection to the spirit of Pride or Stonewall. Those were founded by the very people they want to dehumanize, and twerf ideology aligns with the anti-lgbt.

“omg! a new history of-” siiiiighhh

theres a rape joke in the fucking new video more clear than the last you keep that fucking bullshit off my dash im not even joking right now i wont hesitate

white people trying to distract from the realities of africas suffering: “HGSJSDJ THE NEW :HISTORY OF” VIDEO HAS A RAPE JOKE. DONT WATCH IT”

yall literally went to africa and raped people. thats not a joke, its what yall did. shut up.

Here’s the difference between a rape joke and what’s going on here

A rape joke would be a joke wherein the victim is the butt of the joke, where the audience is supposed to sympathize with the rapist, and light is made of the rape

This joke in this video (and in the other video too for that matter) are saying, “remember when colonists raped people wherever they went? And we don’t talk about it anymore because colonists rewrite their own history? Well just reminding you that colonists were rapists, just gonna leave that there”

ok its like kind of pissing me off so i have to come back to this for a hot sec

let’s go back to the first video, history of japan where there’s a little annotation under japanese colonialism that says “and they did some rapes”

that’s not a joke, that’s a greatly disputed piece of history, and the people on one side of the dispute is the japanese government, and on the other side is everyone else

the japanese government denies any wrongdoing during the japanese colonial era, while korean comfort women whoa re still alive today just want some kind of acknowledgement of what they went through

so yeah, when i read “and they did some rapes!” that casual acceptance of a piece of history that people are still denying happened, yeah, that made me happy to know that their someone is acknowledging what they went through

so maybe you want to live in your own little world where any mention at all of rape is this sacrilege defamation of morality, but the rest of you, go watch history of japan, and history of the world, pay special attention to those little annotations that acknowledge that japanese imperialists did some rapes, american imperialists did some rapes, and european imperialists did some rapes, and learn a little history

Comfort women

seriously, fuck the false dichotomy between Science and The Arts. as if capital-S Science isn’t an art that requires creativity, perseverance, patience, and skilled observation. as if The Arts don’t require rigor, discipline, practice, and attention to detail. as if both aren’t cultural structures that stand on foundations of sexist, racist, capitalist hierarchy. as if they both can’t be used for purposes of enrichment and revolution. i am so fucking over this idea of presenting science and art as opposites, when they have so much more in common than people think.

UM!!!!!!! UM!!!! this is a beautiful post!!!! and I feel it with every part of my soul!

this makes me happy- because my oldest sister loves both, so she is now a chemist who works on art restoration and conservation 😁

If you’ve ever seen microscopic images of objects, the beauty of a rainbow, your favorite clouds, or enjoyed the peace of a forest walk, you know science is an art.

If you’ve ever admired paint mixing, wondered how someone could get the lighting so perfect on a photography shot, used the most efficient amount of fabric, or contoured the human face so beautifully, you know art is a science.

And you know that art and science are best buds that will fuck up anyone who dares to differ on either of those two facts.

Imagine being a kid in school. Your teacher comes up with an idea for class picture. Every student will draw pictures of their friends.

Everyone starts drawing enthusiasticly, and can’t wait to see what they look like in the drawings. When pictures are ready you notice that popular students have more pictures than rest, but nobody has done a drawing of you. The teacher notices that too, and asks if someone would do your picture. To your horror the class clown takes the job, and comes up with a caricature of you. Others are laughing, but you’re not. You feel awful. The teacher notices that. and asks again someone to do a drawing of you. One of the ‘good students’ starts drawing, but the result is forced. It’s just a drawing of a generic child wearing a shirt of same color as you a wearing. There’s no spirit, no soul in it. You start sensing that the class is geting frustrated with you. They want to be done with this. You ask quietly the teacher if you could do a drawing yourself.

After school your classmates confront you. Why did you have to make such a big deal out of it? The first picture was funny. The second picture was just fine! The drawing you did yourself wasn’t right, do you think you are that good-looking? There were other kids who got only one or two pictures of themselves. Who are you to demand special treatment? Maybe there would have been a picture of you if you weren’t such annoying baby, nobody likes you anyway, and nobody’s going to if you keep on being like that, you don’t deserve a drawing!

This could be story of bullying, but it’s also about how I see portraying LGBTQ+-people and PoC in mainstream entertainment.

Thanks to Fandoms and Feminism for inspiration!

This is a great metaphor. 

This is the most accurate fucking post I’ve ever seen in my life oh my god.

This is incredible. A perfect metaphor. And it really points out how fucking childish it is to insist that representation does not matter.
