I'm Going To *remembers Suicide Is Often Not A Desire For Death Itself But Rather An Attempt To Radically

“The average person thinks about the Roman Empire every day” factoid is a statistical error. Tumblr users in March -

Why can't we ever use bullshit bioessentialism for fun things

waking to the reality that the police are the biggest organized group of serial killers in the United States will really make you so numb and bored of true crime

We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.

I didn't use my AO3 account at all before but I'm glad i had one ready to go

It's time to make an ao3 account in these dark dark days, my dear guest visitors!! My favorite authors are all doing it and if you don't wanna miss anything, hurry up! xx

Girls of colour and trans girls are called "women" when they're kids because they are seen as dangerous adults fully capable of understanding harm and therefore deserving of harsh adult treatment and sentencing

Men of colour and trans men are called "boys" as a process of infantilization. They are seen as being too stupid to make their own decisions and incapable of being true adults. [MOC are ALSO called men just as much, in order to diminish the harm they've faced (calling a black 15 year old a man) and to frame them as adults who deserve a harsh sentence.][Trans boys are ALSO called men in order to frame them as dangerous and predatory adults.]

White cis men get called boys to diminish the harm they've caused - this wasn't a 24 year old who knew what they were doing, he was just a little boy. Boys will be boys!

White cis women get called girls in order to frame them as more innocent and in need of protection, and also to frame them (and, often, other women) as being so young and stupid that they require adult male supervision.

Nonbinary adults are framed as whatever fits the narrative most in that moment: dangerous adult man, or silly little girl.
