abuse 

I had multiple counselors in high school, and I would tell them, "My sister ran away from home. My other sister tried to kill me. I had to talk my mother down from slashing her wrists" and they acted like it was the Self Esteemers episode of Daria instead, idk, doing anything to address my obvious PTSD symptoms or reporting me to CPS.

Me telling people my adoptive family is very abusive and violent at age 12: Haha, yeah, sure. Ok. You seem to be very introverted, let's work on that, huh?

Me telling people my adoptive family was very abusive and violent at age 35: Oh, that's awful! You went through so much! Why didn't anyone do anything?

homophobia 

Sucking on straws is GAY because humans are holes and straws are holes and sucking on a straw is like sucking on a hole is like sucking on a human (of the same gender)

@Sapphicgiraffic @caymanwent counterpoint: humans contain no holes and your intestines are actually an interface with the outside world. i was taught this in medschool and i shit u not it is 100% accurate

being treated 'like a man' is different from, and worse than, being treated *as* a man, and that difference is perhaps nowhere more keenly expressed than in relationships between cis women and transmisogyny-exempt 'woman aligned' people, on the one hand, and the nonbinary, transmisogyny-constrained partners whom they treat 'like a man' on the other;

unless it is more starkly articulated in the relationships between cis women and transmisogyny-exempt 'woman aligned' parents and their nonbinary, transmisogyny-constrained children.

it is inaccurate to say that cis feminism 'struggles with' this dynamic; on the contrary, cis feminism is broadly employed as the ideological justification for mis-treating someone 'like a man'.

@avi actually kill comes from dutch! and murder also i think comes from dutch, by way of "mudder". the murderkill river's name is entirely unrelated to violence!

PSA, sexual assault 

Lumb @ monsterpit.net is back.

They have a known history of manipulating and sexually assaulting people who they've met online. They have a long pinned post up claiming that the accusations against them were all made up. They're a dangerous person and I wouldn't trust a single word they say.

Please block them.

Kids are callin' it Fear Cocktail. She set a dumpster on fire behind a Benihana and huffed the fumes until she thought she was surrounded by a bunch of labradoodles wearin' cowboy hats.

Staten Island has multiple locations with the word "kill" in their name, to enhance the nightmarish quality of visiting the borough.

I know it sounds like a joke, but they've quietly turning Staten Island's Fresh Kills Landfill -- yes, that's its name -- into a city park. The landfill was open for about 50 years, took in most of New York City's waste, and grew to be one of the largest garbage dumps in the entire world.
