I'm Sure Many People Have Already Shared This Here, But I Think It's Important That People Here On Tumblr

seeing people get excited over tumblr maybe possibly allowing porn again is like watching charlie brown line up to kick that football

I’m just going to leave this here

reblog this if your icon could kill a man

i think the normalization of laying out your own sexual trauma as a pre-amble to a (typically anti-kink) argument is a really dangerous discussion format that we should not be legitimizing. even beyond the fact that experiencing trauma in no way makes you a kinder, smarter, or better person, the demand that we re-open wounds and bare our vulnerabilities as "victim credentials" to (usually hostile) strangers is a bad bad bad fucking expectation to legitimize. i understand the desire to elevate survivors' voices and this absolutely has a place re: conversations about remedial justice and survivor resources. but the idea that one's understanding of systems of sexual violence can only be confirmed by falling victim to them and later willingly offering that trauma to others is equal parts fallacious and dangerous, and it further insults those of us whose advocacy and understanding come from years of study, research, and work, not from our victimization at the hands of another person. i understand it's the impulse to fire back when reactionaries open and end cap every argument with a gratuitous statement of trauma qualifications but you Cannot be ceding ground on this -- not just for reasons of intellectual integrity, but also because your fellow survivors deserve the right to advocate for our lives and communities without being expected to first divulge voyeuristic personal trauma narratives

i love the convo between spike and buffy in doublemeat palace (“this place will kill you”/“please don’t make this harder”) because when you peel away the things that make them different (vampire/slayer /hero/villain) they are at their core. two people raised in upper middle class households

not Mulder and Scully attending the disciplinary hearing at the end of fallen angel and being interrogated at one end of a comically long table

Can we take a moment to recognize Scully’s very problematic taste in men? 4 murders and an adulterous stalker.

Girl, Spooky isn’t so bad!
