Do better.
Here’s the truth: every right and freedom you have today exists because people before you got involved in politics and fought for them.
They went up against unfair systems that didn’t, and still don’t, want us to have rights.
Rights are fought for, not given.
When you say, “I’m not political,” you’re showing you don’t understand where your freedoms come from.
You’re also showing that you're fine enjoying the benefits of activism without helping out.
It is time to step up.
Let’s do better together. <3

We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing
Like, okay the dehumanization and misogyny of it all. Mauer treating this woman like a toy and attempting to gaslight her. The unspoken threat of sexual violence and what he could have done to her. Gemma clearly hating this man and him still toying with her because he can. It’s a violation, it’s abhorrent. The way that it’s not even clear that the company knows or not. That this technology would attract freaks who would abuse women and that it’s a plot point that in the news an innie did get pregnant. Literally kidnapped and treating her like a Testing animal. It’s so fucked up. It’s so fucking fucked up.
The way that this technology is being actually developed by real technofascist cretins who would do this.
Switched at birth is filled with sapphics for the ones with eyes to see.
If I had a nickel for every show I’ve seen where the best character is named Regina who’s straight according to the canon but has a surprisingly sapphic feeling relationship with her coparent, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that its happened twice.
I will never be over this panel. NEVER. Why did they draw him like that!?
I have to explain to everyone I show this that it's not yaoi and his bones were just broken...and no, his dark abusive top wasn't the one to break them. Really, yaoi creators should take some notes.
It is very telling that they decided to end the show with "I am the dirt under your nails".
vi got colonised tbh. it gives me that feeling when a rich white old man gets with a young SEA lady, brings her to britain and she only gets to see her family through facetime, and that's also the only time she speaks her native language because her man refuses to learn it
cait basically erased vi's identity as a zaunite. she loved vi in spite of that, instead of as a part of her. like how she told vi that she's not like the other zaunites, and saying 'i thought you were one of us' fully expecting her to step away from her people.
vi's been assimilated into piltover, even going against her own ideals by becoming part of the people (enforcers) who killed her parents, who were responsible for executing the systematic oppression of zaun. yet caitlyn's never assimilated into zaun, never even stepping foot into zaun beyond the first caitvi meeting and later when she was gassing the citizens. the show ended with vi living with caitlyn in the top 1% of piltover; no mutual exchange of culture. caitlyn never had to change her mind about zaun the way vi changed her mind about piltover, and remained oblivious to her own privilege and her family's legacy on zaun.
it's just that the sacrifices vi has made for cait, on her identity and on a moral level, has been completely one-sided. this, the imbalanced power dynamic and caitlyn's subtle prejudice against zaun (*) have never been acknowledged in the show. so for them to get back together and have their happy ending without some sort of introspective reflection feels. very uncomfortable. feels like cognitive dissonance.
(*) i say subtle because other than the warcrimes moment, cait often voices her opposition to extreme measures against zaun. however, she supports 'no extreme measures' and 'they are people too' as normative ideas, not really having the ability to recognise the violation of these ideas when it's in front of her and especially not when she's the one violating them. there's constantly an undercurrent of subconscious prejudice in her attitude towards zaunites, and just, a real lack of understanding
I read so many things about the gay context and undertones in The Picture of Dorian Gray... Why were you all lying to me? It is just text plain and simple. I thought Basil was pretty upfront with his feelings for Dorian from the beginning and now I just read pages of him confessing his undying love and devotion to Dorian himself. How is that context, undertones or whatever words people are using to describe this clearly homosexual novel?
