Literally just take a scroll through the notes if you don’t believe me. Half of the people liking and reblogging have “rad” in their name, or have other very obvious names like “ragingvulvasaur”.
As well as TERFs you might recognize individually if you’re trans and have been on this site for longer than 5 minutes, like kittyit, rad-monika, womyn-are-rad, etc.

cis people are welcome to reblog this instead of reblogging more performative and empty “trans women r valid” feel-good crap while actively ignoring transmisogyny among your tumblr faves
Landslide by Fleetwood Mac except it’s playing through your car’s old radio cassette player as you drive alone through the desert at night. As far as you can tell, the nearest human life has got to be wherever that distant thunder is rolling in.
And I promise I’ll stop after this because bitterness is
unattractive and only productive bitterness is worth putting on one’s blog,
HOWEVER, there are some new variables to our political calculus that we have to
take seriously:
I stumped for a guy running on a single payer platform:
In a state that Bernie Sanders won
Who is one of the leading international experts on single
payer healthcare
And is young and handsome and talks like Obama if Obama was
a burly Midwestern lacrosse bro
And who Bernie Sanders campaigned hard for
And we lost by 14 points.
And no election is every the same and there are always,
always dozens of variables but AT LEAST TWO are that Bernie Sanders put together
a winning coalition that included a lot of rural white guys who were profoundly
motivated by dislike of Hilary Clinton and/or wouldn’t vote for a brown guy who
was ten times as qualified as Bernie Sanders…which SUCKS.
I’m not just saying this because it makes me angry and validates my on-going beef with Bernie Sanders. I was really hoping and working hard to prove myself wrong on this shit! I’m not even being bitter and cynical about this. I think it means we just need to work harder and more and keep bringing these conversations into the public consciousness and build winning coalitions….but I don’t think we do anyone any favors by just ignoring the shitty aspects of our society and assuming anyone who notices them is a paid shill trying to crush your momentum.
This is how I feel about the Chris G governor campaign. She’s a charismatic progressive that had been a teacher for 30 years and made education her key issue. She still lost to a warm bowl of tapioca that happened to have a penis by ten points. Sometimes gender matters as does race.
literally the only good het ships are the ones where the guy is absolutely dedicated to the woman and adores and respects her and knows she’s way cooler than he is and that’s why he loves her. and also she tops him regularly
The fact that Arthur started physically fighting Lucius in public with cameras there…is REALLY one of those quintessentially Weasley things. Every single one of them is 1-3 provoking statements away from starting a fist fight.
It’s terrifying to think that household has nine Gryffindors in it and that’s it. NINE. Gryffindors are showy and fiery and assertive—and there’s NiNE of them? Idk why people make fun of the Weasleys when objectively the chaotic energy in that family is so scary. Nine Gryffindors. Jesus.
