i love when people blame tumblr for things that have existed for centuries. feminism, nonbinary genders… what fun new decades-old equality movement are we going to blame on a blogging site this week? the abolition of slavery? socialism? stay tuned
Anti-SJW’s do this because they’re literally afraid to take responsibility for their bigoted views. If they just silence anyone who complains about them by labeling people who disagree as a tumblrina SJW they can derail the actual issue. Why?To avoid self reflecting on why they’re repeating bigoted views just a little longer.
“Anti-SJWs are bigots who love to slap labels on people!” said the person who slaps labels on on Anti-SJWs.
Also, if you can be silenced just by an insult, you’re probably not going to make a very good activist.
Also, I’ve seen plenty of anti-SJWs say SJWs are actually harmful to fixing certain problems for minorities, because their approaches are flawed and prejudiced and actively counterproductive. Many antis are in the groups in question.
So anti-SJW’s are the ones who are “afraid to take responsibility for their bigoted views”, even though it’s SJW’s who constantly make excuses for theirs? Interesting.
I also haven’t seen Anti-SJWs claim that Tumblr is the reason for those ideas existing. In fact, it’s commonly spoken about their origins in academia or history.
No, instead, you see people blaming Tumblr for the propagation of such ideologies, as the reason that they are as wide-spread as they are among youth.
But hey, you sure did take down that strawman.

This should be fun
“…
feminism …”
Has not existed for centuries.
It certainly has not existed for centuries in the form that is relevant to this comment. Radical feminism, for instance, has only existed since the 1960s.
“…
nonbinary genders …”
Have not existed for centuries in Western societies.
And let’s be honest here, you aren’t talking about the extra “genders” that exist in Austronesian and Polynesian cultures. You’re talking about ideas of gender that have only really shown up in the West in the past 30 years or so. And as for MOGAI genders, the past couple of years.
“ …what fun new decades-old equality movement …“
If you’d said decades you could have been accurate.
But I don’t see any “equality movement” being discussed.
“
the abolition of slavery? “
You could at least have claimed “centuries” for that one…
“
socialism?
“
Wait, did you just call socialism an equality movement?
6 Native American girls explain the tragic story behind Thanksgiving
follow @the-movemnt
Should we tell them about the Pequots and their whole thing? Or does that not jive with the whole it’s whitey? Or how it was a regional celebration that the first couple were basically more native than white? Or the various other things we actually, y’know have documents on. And hey, it looks like Lots of passion, little knowledge Day has started early.
Imma need to see some historical sources on this. Documents and shit.
https://factreal.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/heritagepilgrimsmourtsrelationjournalbywinslow.pdf Page 133.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/28/thanksgiving-proclamation_n_4078958.html with an excerpt that actually put the call to it at GEorge Washington (and fixed the date, Abe only made it a federal holiday).
Hell a historian who actually looked at shit did it twice. http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/15002 and http://www.sail1620.org/Articles/thanksgiving-on-the-net-roast-bull-with-cranberry-sauce
Basically they decided to swing in exactly the opposite from the Pilgrims did all this on their own and it was only a couple indians at the first thanksgiving, to they did this to celebrate killing innocent natives that lived peacefully with one another. Which any historian, both native AND not can tell you is a load of grade A bullshit.
Weren’t the Pilgrims dying of starvation and disease before the Natives helped them, as well as being killed by a group of Natives who were rivals with the tribe which they had the first Thanksgiving with, and certain Native groups were okay with helping future settlers attack and even kill said rival groups because they shared a common enemy?
Or is Vox just conveniently ignoring those parts of history, and are just using these Native Americans as their mouthpieces for historical revisionism for one of the two days of the year they cry crocodile tears about the Native Americans, but don’t do jack shit to help them, and instead give half-hearted platitudes like these endless puff pieces and “Indigenous People’s Day” to distract from the fact that they don’t really care about the plight of the Native Americans, and would rather sit on their asses instead of doing something to stop stuff like a certain pipeline?
Likely. Hell you could probably ask them about the conditions being bad on the Lumbee reservation and they’d report about it on one of those two days.
In spite of the Lumbee not being a recognized tribe and not having a Res.
It’s always those two day specific days, and nothing else. And it usually involves “stretching the truth” about history, cutting out the whole “Pilgrims dying of starvation and plague” and “Natives killing other Natives” parts to incite hatred between races.
As I said in another post, sites like Vox and Mic don’t care about other racial, ethnic, religious groups, or even women as people. They care about them as a source of profit to line their pockets, and that’s pretty damn dehumanizing in my book.
With all the fuss over fake news these days, you’d think outlets like Voc and mic.com would take the time to do research to distance themselves from crap like this.
Progress
What
Imma just let this sit here
MOTHA FUCKIN SCIENCE
sources:
They turned RNA into an anti-virus program. That is amazing.
Let me restate this in case it didn’t sink in the first time
Researchers physically DELETED ALL TRACES of the HIV virus from a human cell.
ALL OF IT.
IF YOU ARE NOT EXCITED ABOUT THAT I DON’T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT HIV IS
Not to get controversial or anything but can we stop with making fun of women being abused by their husbands and playing it off as ‘straight culture’
I lost 10 followers for saying we shouldnt make fun of domestic abuse victims.
can we also please stop making fun of men being abused by their wives thanks
Good addition
Can we also stop acting that domestic abuse is just a “straight” thing?
It’s literally teaching our baby gays that any same sex relationship their going into is safe and they don’t need to be worried about being abused and controlled.
Another good addition
6i:
you only feel lonely because you want something.
stop wanting. you are whole. detach yourself from the feeling of need. you are enough.
you only feel lonely bc humans evolved as a social species and were never meant to live in social isolation, slaving away day in day out with minimal contact to other people, that is very superficial at best not a single hint of intimacy, like it is the norm now lmfao no one can overwrite that by “detaching”, quite the contrary, detachment is a sign of depression CAUSED by severe social deprivation
I hate tumblr hot takes like that. our society is broken and anti-social and it’s making us SICK. normalizing this and pretending like it’s your personal failure that you can’t deal with something you were never meant to able to deal with bc we didn’t evolve to be alone is absolutely counter productive
Okay but this post doesn’t necessarily mean “avoid all human contact” it means “You shouldn’t base your happiness on other people because that’s emotionally unhealthy and it can cause you to either get hurt or hurt others”
People who constantly seek others to validate them and who hanker for interaction and/or intimacy aren’t the most emotionally well developed people.
Just look at Tumblr as proof. Almost EVERYONE on this site has some form of abandonment issues and it shows in the way they deal with and treat people. It explains why this site is full of emotionally codependent people at best and straight up abusers at worst.
If you don’t have emotional intimacy then see a therapist, get help, work on yourself before you seek out others. If you become desperate for it then SOMEONE is going to pay, either you or the person you’re so desperate for.
Listen…
When I was 10 I thought I was transgender. I even thought I was experiencing dysphoria- I cried over wearing dresses, I hated my feminine body (cried over that too) and loved being called by male pronouns. It seemed like crystal clear dysphoria. My pain got persistantly worse…until four years later- I started becoming okay with my birth gender again. My “dysphoria” perished, I started growing out my hair, threw out my male wardrobe, bought female clothes again and most importantly- I started showering with the lights on again, I stopped wearing binders, started smiling again.
I created the “dysphoria” in my head. I had always been a strange child and always felt different, and I had discovered an identity that would explain that. I was trying to fit that mold by creating pain I didn’t have. I didn’t know who I was and wanted to find my community.
Here are some things I did while questioning that could be signs that you are not transgender. (note that I’m not a professional, and even if all of the things listed apply to you, you could still be trans- this is just my personal advice)
• you weren’t uncomfortable with your gender at all until you started learning about the trans community
• you constantly seek reassurance from sites like reddit or tumblr to validate you
• when you write to these sites and askboxes you find yourself exaggerating your situation
• you can’t relate to the childhood stories of most trans people
• you didn’t start feeling like something was wrong until you were a tween/teen
• you are self diagnosed
• you have parents who encouraged or pushed you to do stereotypical “boy” things (if you are afab) or “girl” things (if you are amab) when you were a child
• you have ocd/pure – o
• you cannot picture yourself as the opposite sex
• picturing yourself as the opposite sex makes you uncomfortable
• imagining aging as the opposite sex disturbs you
• being adressed by male pronouns (if you’re afab) or female pronouns (if you’re amab) feels wrong
Today I love being female and I love being feminine. I know that going on hormones would have been a mistake and I know it would have ruined my life.
So… Please, young people claiming the identity transgender- don’t rush in. Wait until you are grown. Until you are an adult. You might be 110% sure- but so was I. And I still realized I was wrong.
Don’t get me wrong- it’s very much possible that you are transgender and what you’re feeling is dysphoria, but the only way to know is to get yourself properly diagnosed by a professional.
Do not lie to that professional to get a diagnosis- do not exaggerate.
And if you are not dysphoric, I have to be honest with you:
You are not transgender.
You will ruin your life if you transition.
You will regret it.
Please- do not do anything rash just because you want to belong to the trans community or because you think being trans is cool.
You do not transition to be a “soft boy uwu”, it is not a political statement or an aesthetic. It is NOT cosmetic. It is something you do because your body makes you physically sick. It is something you do because you need to and because you can’t live without it.
I’m not telling you this to upset you, confuse you, I’m not saying this because I’m conservative or transphobic- I just don’t want you to make the same mistake I almost made.
Also to add, hating your body ie.thinking youre fat, thinking youre ugly, and would look better/have more friends as the opposite sex is not dysphoria! It’s a thing every kid thinks at one point in their lives!
I had puberty related anxiety when I was 10-14 and a lot of the symptoms of that line up with dysphoria. The sight of bras and pads made me emotionally distressed and I used to wear clothing that was way too big for me because I didn’t like seeing my “mature” body in the mirror. I used to dread going to school and I didn’t want people even LOOKING at me because I hated my body that much.
However, I was asked by my older cousin this question “then do you want a sex change operation to turn into a boy?” My answer was a quick and vehement no.
I didn’t want to be a boy. I was just scared of puberty. If all this pushing kids to be trans mentality existed in the 2000s it would have just confused me further.
Trans kids exist but we should also keep in mind that just because someone is GNC or hates their body it doesn’t mean they’re trans.
