grim that the ideology of the family is so fundamentally ingrained that even reporting that is appropriately horrified by a legislature passing The Child Molestation Act has to stress that it is extra special super bad because they don't even ask the child's parents for permission to molest them

Our local newspaper ran a story about the legendary graffiti artist who recently passed away and. Literally everything about it is fucking insane. I'm insane about it.

So this guy has been extremely active for around fifteen years, during which he spread these beautiful, high quality pieces all over the country, way over a thousand of his standard signature, and probably thousands more. He did completely batshit stuff like literally spray painting an entire train from top to bottom or leaving his signature at the top of a 600ft tall overpass and this whole time, only five people from his crew know who he really is. To everyone else it's a complete mystery.

And then he dies at the age of 35. A few weeks after his death, his crew shows up at his completely unassuming parents' doorstep, reveals who they are and asks if they can host a memorial exhibition of his art.

Turns out, this dude has been leading an insane double life. In the daytime he was a meek little office worker with a partially paralyzed arm and no social life to speak of. In the nighttime he was a fucking legend. Not only did he climb that fucking 600ft overpass, he did it WITH A PHYSICAL DISABILITY. THE MADLAD. And throughout the entire time, fifteen years, he got caught once. ONCE. HE DID ALL THAT UNNOTICED. THAT'S INSANE.

gonna start saying insane shit like fpreg and girlpussy just to normalize it

love all my cgirl and cboy followers and my normal followers too

do you really need to be cis? you could just be a more masculine trans girl

shut up about how "bad" she did at a sport, a woman is being told she can't do something because of the way she was born, she just happens to be trans so yall think misogyny and bioessentialism is suddenly ok

"she only placed in 24th!" well im only gonna explode you with my mind

trans women competing in sports with other women would not be contingent on whether or not we're bad at it.

conservatives are like "if we let immigrants have rights then whos gonna do the free labor" liberals are like "if we don't let immigrants have rights then whos gonna do the free labor"

It's great to see the people on this website be so passionately against plastics, I'm sure this isn't just a conservative anti-vegan circlejerk & will actually translate to everyone changing their purchasing behaviors & doing their best to avoid creating unnecessary plastic waste wherever possible.

I'll be devastated if I'm not on that list, if 15 years of anti-zionism isn't enough.

Btw if you don't recognize Betar, they're straight the Zionist version of the Hitler youth

They're also the organizion that fed the Trump administration a list of students protestors to detain/deport last month.

RTVS PALESTINE FUNDRAISER 2, April 11th - 13th

Beginning Friday the 11th, RTVS will be holding another 3-day weekend fundraising event for the people of Palestine.

It is a tragedy that Palestine is still enduring the same nightmarish conditions that they were this time last year. There has been little to no improvement in things as Israel continues to break ceasefires and block incoming aid as they try and continue their genocide. We would like to once again rally our community and as many others as we can reach to give what support we are able to to Palestine's people.

Like last year, the event will not be a traditional stream fundraiser, rather than pointing people at one donation point, we will be suggesting a number of different recipients for support. However, this year may be organized slightly differently than the way we did it last time; more information regarding that will be shared in the next few days once we confirm our plan. Overall, it's the same idea: all donations to Palestinians and aid groups will be tallied into our grand total for the event.

The all-day, all-weekend streaming event will once again feature a rotation of hosts from Radio TV Solutions putting on all kinds of events. Themed segments, classic segments, crazy gameshow-type beats, chill segments, gaming w/ Da Whole Crew and MORE await you. The event will be hosted at http://stream.rtvsfundraiser.live/. Mark your calendars, tell your friends, and GET READY!

🇵🇸 FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA 🇵🇸

We've confirmed the way we are going to suggest support recipients is not going to change too much, however there is going to be a completely new list as many things have changed in a year.

So, if you know of any GoFundMe's or similar site campaigns for Palestinians that you trust as legitimate, please send an e-mail to info@rtvsfundraiser.live with links and details, and I will add as many as I can to the event document.

Additionally, if you submitted a GFM last year and have updates regarding the state of the campaigns you submitted, please e-mail us! Many of the campaigns supported last year are still ongoing and we would like to feature them again, but it can be difficult to get additional information on the state of the campaign.

Finally, in addition to campaigns - if you have any resources you think would be helpful for us to share or know of legitimate aid groups to support that we were not aware of, don't hesitate to send them to info@rtvsfundraiser.live!!

TOMORROW!!! turn out, donate if you can, spread the word! last year we raised over $120,000 dollars, I would be ecstatic if we get anywhere near that number again this year.

TUBE IT!! FRIDAY @ 3PM EST

5 years ago today Willem Van Spronsen attacked the Tacoma ICE facility and was gunned down as he attempted to blow up the buses being used to transport prisoners. His last transmission is a banger if yinz wanna read it. it's not long.

"The slogan 'refuse, reduce, reuse, repair and recycle' provides us with a hierarchy of strategies for dealing with waste. Refuse means to decide not to engage in the consuming action or task in the first place because it is not necessary. Reduce means to minimize the materials and energy required or the frequency of the consuming action. Reuse means either reuse for the same purpose or put to the next best use. Repair means to use skill and very limited additional resources to restore function. Recycle means to break down into more basic elements or materials before being reprocessed for the same or other uses."

really fun seeing many people say correct & true things about medical rape in re : child genital exams while knowing full well 99% of those people are only saying those things because the specific genital exams in question are connected to the donald trump administration & most people as a general rule do not think about or care about any of this or view medical encounters as capable of entailing rape in any practically applicable sense

This is the guy who made the first genetically-engineered babies (a horrific ethics violation that landed him 3 years in prison) and his tweets are so unhinged that I genuinely can't tell if he's trying to be funny or is 100% serious

men lose their masculinity (the social reward for correctly performed manhood) through advocating for, sympathizing with, or doing labor that is allocated to women.

(and I'm not talking about some innate, spiritual, or psychological masculinity. I mean social masculinity--being regarded by higher ranking men as masculine.)

you genuinely do lose your current standing if you meaningfully and consistently object to the economic, legal, and interpersonal status of women, especially in ways that implicate men around you.

many men believe that if they are willing to do this, occasionally, then they are owed a recuperation of their masculinity through some other means.

if they are sacrificing masculinity through advocating for women politically, then they expect to bolster their masculinity through receiving expressions of gratitude and adoration by women ("feminist men are so hot" "consent is sexy" "pro-choice men get laid more" etc.) or they expect to bolster their masculinity through emasculating other men by asserting the standards of masculinity they adhere to are the "real" masculinity ("real men support women" "sexists are immature boys, I'm a man" "I'm secure in my masculinity and they're insecure" etc.)

to dismantle patriarchy, you need to be able to advocate for women even when it means losing gendered status. other men mostly will not respect you, and many misogynist women will not respect you either. it might not get you laid or praised or validated. in fact, it will probably subject you to increased scrutiny and criticism (because feminized subjects are always subject to such, and if you lose social masculinity, you too will experience this to some degree).

will you still advocate for women even if there is no social benefit and only social cost? do you have principles, or do you just want the fantasy of being a benevolent ruler?

Reminds me of this passage from Julia Serrano’s book “Whipping Girl”

I hope you don't mind me elevating these tags to the main post, @trautkeinenartigenkindern. (adding some spacing for ease of reading)

#all of this and. and! it's often an issue of 'either in public or in private' and only very rarely both when it comes to this type #of progressive man. like either you have someone who is willing to show up in private and genuinely cares about doing a similar amount #of labor but doesn't go to feminist protests/ doesn't speak up in the office/ doesn't sign petitions/ whatever have you #OR you have someone very political who will go to protests and will argue with other men and even call them out #but when that same guy gets home he is a regular dirtbag with the same lack of tact or effort #with the same minimal understanding of how a household works as aaaall the other sexists #very rarely have i encountered men who did both #and when i did. well they weren't cis men for long

this really reflects my experiences, too. so many specific examples from my life come to mind.

I think this is such an insight about common ways many men manage this dynamic of simultaneously wanting to act in ways they understand to be feminist while also wanting to hold onto their masculinity (i.e. the social power granted to them for maintaining sexgender class As A Man).

if they sacrifice public masculinity, they feel entitled to its security in the private sphere. if they move equitably in the domestic sphere, they do not speak up in public where other men could see and emasculate them.

I think, too, of the men I've known who only seem to be "feminist" around women, and change their entire body language/phrasing/conversational tone as soon as other men enter a space.

there's definitely a careful balancing act happening for a lot of men.
