TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.

Sorry, weather's been throwing baseballs at my roof and the power went out.

thinking about how fucking wild we must seem to single-celled aliens. you're telling me you're a single creature made up of billions of tiny tiny organisms, all perfectly communicating and working together, constantly dying and reproducing? so right now youre made of a completely new set of tiny creatures than before???? are you even the same creature???? are you even one creature????????????

ok. here are my pitches for the beatles biopics

john: directed by david lynch. focused on the conflict between celebrity, identity and "real" life. the typical worms and maggots wriggling under the picture perfect roses type shit. mulholland drive levels of psychosexual tension + a single but extremely graphic mclennon sex scene. kyle maclachlan plays george. masturbation scenes are mandatory

paul: directed by luca guadagnino. oriented around themes of loss and desire - very bones and all but with the cut throat ferocity of suspiria combined with the expressions of sensuality in i am love. tilda swinton plays paul and it makes no sense but it works perfectly. mclennon sexual tension is mandatory but doesnt need to be acted upon in any graphic way. demands vivid colour palette.

george: directed by david cronenberg. interested in how celebrity demands the objectification of the body. cancer is a reoccuring metaphor. bob and george are the movie's central relationship. religion (hare krishna) is used as a way to further elaborate on the whole body horror thing idk i lost my train of thought

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE

They killed the children in the early morning of the Eid

Instead of wearing new clothes for Eid, children have been wrapped in shrouds, making it the last thing they will ever wear in their lives.

If it doesn't matter for you to see us die, do nothing but If you would like to see us alive please donate here and share

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

I am saddened, hurt, and hopeless to be deactivating my main account today due to reports from supporters of this holocaust. (We are living through a war in Gaza and on Tumblr.) I feel like I have lost my homeland all over again. I hope you will retweet my posts and engage with me so I can reach my followers again. Don't ignore us. I don't want to die a number. I want to leave a mark for my family.

@wolfertinger666 I beg you to talk only about me.

Sami asked me to create a post on Tumblr because he is in dire need of help from everyone here on Tumblr, whether it be a donation, a share, or a like. His family and children are in real danger because of the unjust war on Gaza. Don't forget them. You can change the painful reality of Sami and his innocent children's lives.

Here's the story:

having a blorbo with a common name is so fun bc you’ll see people tagging posts “john” or whatever and you’re like well my john wouldn’t do that but it’s so special that yours would

i always recommend 'how to hide an empire' by daniel immerwahr to usamericans as an intro to imperialism because of how it looks at the history of the us empire and its peripheries in a way that is pretty accessible to newcomers of the subject. if i recall correctly it touches on the history of us involvement in puerto rico, mexico, the philippines, the pacific islands incl hawaii, alaska, and chattel slavery as the construction of an internal colony, as well as on manifest destiny and indigenous genocide on the mainland. it provides a solid overview and you can choose to delve into further research from there

urgent: medical emergency

Shadi Awad from North Gaza was critically injured during the Flour Massacre of February of 2024, and his father was killed. Now, he urgently needs to access the proper medical treatment; due to not being able to receive proper healthcare for an entire year, Shadi risks losing his legs, or worse. He needs $4000 for the first operation to remove the platinum rods from his leg as well as the proper funds to be able to evacuate to Egypt, as he will not be able to access all of the necessary care in Gaza due to the collapse of the healthcare system.
