that poll going around asking how often you smoke weed and almost a third of ppl saying they’ve never smoked before, and that poll that revealed that over a third of tumblr users have never kissed anyone before, proves to me that stoners who have gay sex are a small but imperative part of the tumblr ecosystem. Keystone species
feel like ppl are getting meaner and it’s weird to see
how do you mean
bro forget this post for a second - i opened this app today at 9am and the first post i saw was you reblogging some horny shit about “sliding in and stretching her real good”. 9am on a wednesday. what was that all about?
Babysitting preschool age kids rn and I find it really funny how they sometimes get hooked on completely random phrases like this 4 year old keeps adding “LUCKY FOR YOU,” to the start of Any sentence. “lucky for you, I already drank my milk.”. Are you threatening me?
so my fridge is covered in femboy pinups i got when i was a subscriber to this porn artist’s patreon and i just have like so many femboy pinups and also a furry pinup on my fridge it really is quite erotic
and my wifi password is “onthefridge”
so whenever someone new comes over and i offer to let them use the wifi i tell them the password is “onthefridge” and they go and look at the fridge and are met with all this femboy ass and are like where is it there’s a lot of stuff here and i reiterate it’s onthefridge and they go where!!! and i come over and type “onthefridge” into their phone and they get so mad
I did a similar thing renting a place in college. Wifi password was “inthebathroom”. Alas we did not have femboy pinups in there
Humans didn’t make the big ben. Do you really think those dumbass Britains could make a clock that big? Those big gears are way too heavy, how’d they get those up there. No way. It was the beasts
I was just thinking about how important it is to have authors (both fan and professional) with whom I feel… safely unsafe, if that makes sense.
Like, this is going to hurt, there are going to be things that happen to these characters that I absolutely Do Not Want to happen, but I trust you and I trust this ride.
At least once a month someone will write “anarchism isn’t about no hierarchies, anarchism is about no UNJUST hierarchies” and will then name the most extremely fucked up hierarchy as their example of a ‘just’ hierarchy.
Like, no, comrade, the doctor-patient relationship is NOT a just hierarchy. The power that doctors have to not just give advice but to decide for us which care we get and which care we don’t get is deeply fucked up. Speak to a woman and you will get on average like 4 stories about medical abuse by sexist doctors who didn’t want to google ‘endometriosis’. Then speak to trans people. Then speak to fat people. Then speak to people of color. Then speak to a disabled person. I promise you will be horrified by what marginalized people endure under the
doctor-patient hierarchy. Our bodies should definitely be ours to control.
If you must add an adjective, try “coercive hierarchy”. I’d argue that that’s kinda redundant too, but at least it’s easier to understand and harder to misinterpret
Prioritizing the opinions of experts over those of randos when forming your own opinion isn’t a hierarchy, because no one has any coercive power over anyone else in that scenario. But when a single expert gets to decide whether you get access to medical care and there’s nothing you can do about it, that is a coercive hierarchy
I guess, yeah. It’s not a problem if Sandra the Doctor is considered more worth listening to on medical issues than me, because she went to medical school and I didn’t. It’s a problem when Sandra has the power to deny me access to health care because she thinks I don’t need it, whereas I, who have to live in my body, think I do need that health care. Power is the problem.
It’s just that almost every time we talk about hierarchy today, we mean coercive hierarchy, because the society we live in organizes power in hierarchies. Teachers, doctors, therapists, parents, social workers, team coordinators, these are all people that hold power in coercive hierarchies in the current system. They need to lose that power in order to be able to actually help us without coercing us. But we’re so accustomed to accepting that people in hierarchies are entitled to power, that most people don’t even want to acknowledge that teachers, doctors, therapists, parents, social workers,
etc have coercive power that they should lose.
You run into the same problem with words like ‘leadership’ and ‘authority’. These words are difficult to use in a non-coercive context because they’re so often used to obscure the presence of a coercive power relationship.
It’s one of the reasons why anarchist groups often insist on calling someone who ‘leads’ the group a coordinator or a facilitator instead of a leader even though they do a fair amount of ‘leadership’ things. We use a word disconnected from power relationships to remind each other that this person does not and should not have any power over us, they’re just the one that we chose to temporarily do the task of organizing some stuff that helps the rest of the group function. This creates different expectations and behavior in the ‘coordinator’ and in the whole group.
I feel like there’s some room for improvement on what we call the people who keep us organized in anarchist spaces. We could be a lot sillier about it.
