"It's something of a ritual."
Just finished #DiscoElysium. Favourite game of the year, if not ever. Bless @studioZAUM and bless the goodest of the good cops, Kim. <3
@KavvioSketches Shy follower here but love your art and ocs so much and such an inspiration to my own journey in art. I'm sorry about everything that's happened, and it's totally understandable to distance from this wack site. Would love to join your server and continue to support! 🙌
@morti_td You have nothing to apologize for!! It's always a pleasure to see your work and hear from you no matter how long you need to take a break! I do hope everything is getting better 🥺❤️ please take care 🙏🙏
There is something incredibly telling about the power of transphobic rhetoric & media bias that the writer of this headline thought it relevant to mention the teenager being transgender, but *not* that they are a white supremacist who spent hours daily in online neo-Nazi groups.
At 19 I was told my health came second to my future husband.
At 22 I was told I would feel differently once I was “in love”
At 24 my boyfriend was asked if he would still love me if I couldn’t bear children.
My autonomy was violated for 5 years for a hypothetical baby 🧵
AI artists are tourists, and even worse, they're the type of tourists who lack respect for the place they're visiting and end up trashing everything while deliberately antagonizing the locals. If fear mongering is your primary conversion tactic, you've already lost.
@morti_td gosh issues 1-6 in this 2003 run are my favourite, the lucy braddock arc is so good! Bonus points that the kurt & logan convo has the gay cover 💕💕🙏
I consider myself a feminist and my dream in life is to have children and a family.
Feminism is about choice. I would argue that when women feel safe, loved, and financially stable, many of them will also choose to have kids. In fact, most women and most feminists do.
There is no established causation between feminism and declining birth rates (and reminder that correlation is not causation). You know what else is correlated with declining birth rates? Rising costs. Social media addiction. School shootings and violent crimes. Worsening climate change.
Trying to propose a solution without leaving space for the numerous confounds that also impact people's behaviors is just not that useful. I could point at any one random thing and say something half assed like "actually, if men stopped watching porn and went outside and talked to women we'd have more kids," but I just don't think pointing fingers at one single thing for a multifaceted issue is helpful, especially when what you're suggesting (a world where women have less choice and focus on making more babies) sounds like the plot of Handmaid's Tale.
If we really want to have this conversation, I genuinely think we need to start with how social media usage has rewired so many of our brains to replace the desire for meaningful, in person relationships with phone scrolling and quick dopamine hits instead, rather than being upset because women have the right to vote.
Fuck this. A force of rapists given more power. They won’t just harm trans women, if a woman doesn’t “look feminine” they can say they thought she was trans to justify abuse. It increases risk for ALL WOMEN. Won’t affect billionaire Rowling on her fucking yacht though will it?
a question for the cis women that believe the ruling of the Supreme Court is a good thing for women
What do you think is going to happen when male police officers accuses you of being trans just to legally to get your knickers off ?, do you see how this harms all women ?
