White supremacy is upheld by those who want to keep up the appearance of being "normal" for power, instead of acknowledging the dysfunction of where they're from.

Me on my way to throw this to the next dumbass trying to explain how I don’t know or understand feminist or TERF (radfem doesn’t equal TERF) theory. Like there is only one theory. 

I remember communing with the wolf animal spirit in Alaska, after meeting a team of sledding huskies who're part wolf. This happens to me whenever I bump into a Husky on the streets or meet a new friend who has one as well. We will have literal events in real life that translate to divine guidance from above, there're no coincidences in life, only divinity in making. ❤️💫🙏🏼

I really like this picture because it shows all of the subgroups that people can either identify with or belong to.  It’s a great visualization that their people’s identity is a lot more complicated than it may appear on the surface.  Intersectionality is so important when considering social impact because we can’t just fit people into a box.  There needs to be nuance and grace when discussing individuals.

Day 3: JOMPBPC: Intersectional Feminism

DIVISION ASSEMBLED: CHUUOKU

although i am loving the hell out of reverse 1999 as its own thing now i haven't forgotten that the whole reason i picked up the game in the first place is to collect hpmi voice actors who are also voicing characters in the r1999 jp dub

and just four patches in! we have!! a complete division!!!

regulus & nemu: yamamoto nozomi sophia & otome: kobayashi yuu tennant & ichijiku: takahashi chiaki

IT'S A WIN FOR THE WOMEN (RIGHTEOUS AND DESERVED)

tragically otome cv is voicing an npc here so alas i cannot fulfill my dream of creating teams that are hpmi divisions, unless......

eternity & honobono: fairouz ai

THAT'S RIGHT WE HAVE HONOBONO TOO (and i am currently building her so maybe... maybe i'll see if she can work in a team with regulus and tennant somehow, since otome doesn't seem to want to be playable)

anyway we're 1 out of 7 divisions complete now... kijima and shiraimu i am looking at u, get in this game rn

I just remembered the Outer Wilds soundtrack and I'm going to cry...

The Filth army for Grimdark Future

Onepage Rules had the brilliant idea of releasing rules for a zombie faction. I don't know if the Infected Colonies faction is based on an existing Warhammer army, or OPR wanted people to use their zombicide miniatures, but what matters is that I have a stash of Secret World stuff on TTS and now I also have an excuse to use them.

Familiars are different from animal spirits, animal spirits are collective energies that we all share once awakened. Animal spirits are guides like ancestors, Gods, deities,angels, saints, etc. Familiars are personalised guardians from another plane, that meet us to spark a transformation. We have an unusually strong soul mate level bond with them that we might start to realise how sub par our human connections are and decide to look for true love, genuine friendships, meaningful work with kind people, etc. The passing of a familiar is the same as the passing of a human, this is not something that everyone understand. Good news is you can commune with them still, it will make your grief a little easier. ❤️💫🙏🏼

Women's rights are human rights ♀️💪✊💜💜! 

I find it important to also note that It's not 'happy international women's day' because it is *not* a day for celebration, at least not the way corporations (and flower-gifting men that don't deconstruct where the problem is 🙃) go about it: Yes, Women’s History Month is meant to keep visibilizing women in Herstory and women today (but also all year round!). But the reason why 8M still needs to exist is to remind everyone that women's rights are human rights, that we still live in patriarchal societies, that sexism and misogyny are still a thing in many ways and many places, that we haven't reached gender equality by a long shot, and that ALL women from ALL intersections of race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexuality, class, ability, body type, etc etc need to be visibilized and seen as equal human beings every single day of the year. It's not a birthday or anniversary or anything that merits flowers and felicitations, it's a day to remind everyone that there is a fight, and it is ongoing. . "Look, I did a wee bit of reading, and it turns out that for the most of the history of this planet men have treated women a teensy bit badly. As a woman, I object to that, so I decided to help" And regarding the exclusionary 'feminist' faction that has wrongly appropriated suffrage imagery for their own twisted discourse lately 😣, a reminder that when cosplaying Suffragette!Missy, it's a statement that here's a canonically genderfluid and queer character with a penchant for Edwardian nanny and Suffragette aesthetics who says intersectional feminism and women's rights for all women better than any in that group - and it's *Missy* 😅! 💜💚🌈💪✊♀

…this might be a result of Permanent Depression on my part, but I do not think refusing to feel despair or hopelessness is a requirement to be involved in any movement. obvs you need to figure out appropriate ways and places to express those fears, and broadcasting them to your allies and enemies alike Is Not It. but I think holding space to think of consequences of failure and a fear of that outcome is necessary; and also recognizing that even if everyone’s best efforts fail, and the worst happens, or you wind up standing completely alone, that Doing Nothing was completely unacceptable, no matter what.

I lowkey feel like Star Trek picard writers were like oh? Marvel studios is going to do secret invasion? A plot where a rogue group of shapeshifter aliens decide to infiltrate the defence forces of earth and also there’s a character who just found out about his biological parents and also he has powers too? Say less fam
