i need you to come to terms with the way white women have facilitated some of the most unspeakable violence upon black and brown and indigenous people, bodies, and community. often in the name of white womanhood. often in the name of freedom. often in the name of feminism.

vagisodium asked: I tried to be civilized, but clearly you're a fucking idiot. I won't bullet my response, but I will say one thing: I am definitely not a sociopath, you should look up the definition of that word. I'm not comparing homosexuals at all to the nazi's, because if you'd have properly interpreted what I had said, you would understand that I was comparing you to the war guilt...

I recently received an email from a member of the Winnemem Wintu tribe, and thought I’d share:

The last update for City of the Hand
Well, it’s been ten weeks from the first posting to this, but all thirty chapters of City of the Hand (and the one at the LJ mirror) are up and available to read. You can now go from beginning to end! The final ebook file (which I hope to have in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats, gods willing and laptop don’t fry) should be up and ready for downloading on 1-July. If not, it may be after the...

vagisodium asked: Treaty of versailles, the war guilt clause. That is what immensely helped Hitler into power, because all Germans were forced to take all the blame for WWI. This can be related to what you said, because you were blaming all straight people. Your exceedingly violent and misguided response to "not all heterosexuals hate homosexuals". Forcing heterosexuals to take on all the blame for hate...

apihtawikosisan:
When I first encountered the term ‘settler’, I didn’t like it. I felt it was provocative, and I’d been hearing a lot about how we need to stop “creating divisions” by calling people white, or non-native, or Europeans or whatever.
But the truth is, no matter what terms you use, it is going to be provocative, because as an indigenous person, you don’t get to define...

Here’s something I wanted to talk about every time a movie comes out that shows us an “empowered” White girl and says how she’s some sort of role model for all women because she shows that women don’t have to be fragile or delicate.

Cathy Brennan: STOP TRYING TO FORCE ME TO HAVE SEX WITH YOUR PENIS.
Trans* Woman: ...what?
Cathy Brennan: You just threatened to rape me. Everybody heard that, right?
Trans* Woman: No, seriously... what?
Cathy Brennan: You're not a lesbian. You're a male trying to force lesbians to have sex with you because males want to control female sexuality.
Trans* Woman: ...the only lesbian I have sex with is my partner and she's perfectly willing.
Cathy Brennan: She's not a lesbian, then.
Trans* Woman: We obviously have very different viewpoints there, but even allowing for that, how did you get the idea that I want to force you or anyone else to have sex with me from the fact that I described myself and my wife as lesbians?
Cathy Brennan: YOU JUST DID IT AGAIN!
Trans* Woman: I hope bad things happen to you.
Cathy Brennan: AND NOW YOU'VE THREATENED VIOLENCE.
Trans* Woman: I'm going away now.
Cathy Brennan: By the way, this whole conversation counts as assault.
