Speaking of history.

This goes without saying but it has to be mentioned in light of recent developments either way.

You can’t acknowledge one atrocity and DENY another.

You HAVE to acknowledge them all. This isn’t up for discussion or a debate.

Anyone who says otherwise is a dangerous idiot and/or a revisionist with some sort of putrid agenda in mind.

This applies universally to any and all such atrocities.

I know that sounds a bit obvious to say but you’d be surprised at the amount of people who fail to realise this.

It’s deeply troubling.

To do otherwise sets an extremely dangerous precedent.

I’ll leave an extract from a quote here by Menachem Z. Rosensaft (attorney and founder of the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors) concerning such attitudes:

(The context of this quote concerns denial of the Bosnian genocide)

“I cannot in good conscience condemn the perpetrators of the genocide in which my brother and my grandparents perished unless I also condemn the perpetrators of all other acts of genocide, including the genocide that took place at Srebrenica.

I cannot in good conscience mourn my brother as a victim of genocide unless I similarly mourn all other victims of genocide, including the victims at Srebrenica.”

His words sum it up rather aptly I think.

Just saying.

Edit: I mean ALL atrocities! Just in case it wasn’t clear.

A Game of Thrones, Eddard IV

“Most likely the king did not know,” Littlefinger said.

“It would not be the first time. Our good Robert is practiced at closing his eyes to things he would rather not see.”

Ned had no reply for that. The face of the butcher’s boy swam up before his eyes, cloven almost in two, and afterward the king had said not a word.

His head was pounding.

Wilful ignorance, discomfort & guilt avoidance

It’s that time of the year when possibly millions of people in the USA will be sitting down to watch the annual replay of Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1950’s movie version of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol”. Scrooge was what you might label as being wilfully ignorant. In other words, blocking what he did not want to see and believe in spite of the potential consequences. This deliberate choice…

Quote

It seems ignorance is a muscle that has been flexed for the time being. And those whom fight against such ignorance and maintain to educate others, hope to make the muscle move eccentrically, away from the concentric force, which amplifies the structure and fabric of ignorance itself.

The Cass Report demonstrates a truly ridiculous ignorance of literally *anything* to do with not only trans lives, but basic medical treatment protocols.

You *cannot* do double-blind tests where an intervention very clearly has distinct observable effects. Medicine also frequently does not do double-blind tests when doing so would be a) basically impossible, and b) inhumane. It’s particularly common to measure efficacy of an intervention by follow-up and statistical analysis where children and young people are concerned because experimenting on kids is so fucking unethical.

The report is treating reports following established medical protocols as though they are some kind of pseudoscience. Literally the only reasons for this are either a) an ignorance of basic medical and research procedures so profound as to show an utter unsuitability to be involved in reporting on anything to do with healthcare or b) blatant disingenuousness to find an excuse to discard the results they don’t want to acknowledge. Which also renders them deeply unsuitable to report on anything to do with healthcare.

They have used to existence of nonbinary people as an excuse to deny under-25s transition care, treating our entire identity as some sort of adolescent identity crisis. As a 40-year old nonbinary person, I can only say how *utterly* this betrays a profound ignorance of trans culture and identity and/or a commitment to patriarchal and colonial gender norms so profound they are utterly unwilling to dive into the easily-available evidence of adults all over the world with nonbibary identities today, and the anthropological and historical evidence of cultures all over the world with an understanding of gender outside the binary.

And the recommendation that transition should be forbidden to people with mental illness or neurodivergence only betrays how deeply and profoundly transphobia is entwined with disableism. There is a line which literally says “transition did not affect manifestation of symptoms of autism spectrum disorder”. As if this was remotely relevant to anything other than pathologising both transness and neurodivergence.

It of course also attempts to ignore the reality that millions of British adults are seeking neurodivergence diagnoses through the NHS and being turned down or stuck on waiting lists that can easily be *seven* years long.

I am sick with fury and fear, and trying to mute my own reactions because I have a dissertation draft due in tomorrow I *need* to work on.

I am genuinely baffled that anyone could possibly think that Extraordinary Things is about anyone other than Geralt.

FAR too many people in my country are so ill informed and uneducated on environmental and ecological matters to the point where they’ve become willingly cruel!

It’s sickening!

Stupid apes!

Be better!

do you think that somewhere, deep deep down inside heather, shes kinda into p!noah? (apologies, i’ve just seen the alejandro connection with p!noah and i was trying to stuff alenoaheather in with it)

anyway, ur b pfp messed me up when i was looking for u through who i follow and i was kinda just chanting ophe until i found it TT-TT

I think, deep deep down inside, Heather has a lot of introspective re-evaluation to do before she can even consider admitting to herself that she likes someone. And she's iconic for that. That doesn't stop her from forming crushes on people, mind you.

As for liking p!Noah? Well, (as a Noaheather Enjoyer myself) a lot of Heather's potential romance partners, in my mind at least, stem from the connections she can/does make with them. She's slow to open herself up to people, and really prickly, so for her to have positive feelings for someone else is a novelty. (*cough*gray-aro Heather real*cough*)

If Heather was able to foster some sort of rapport between herself and p!Noah, let's say by offering him something akin to an alliance (since it's only strategic to have a wildcard like Noah's turned out to be on her side- keep your enemies close and all), and see behind the many layers of crazy and deceit? She'd probably have a sense of begrudging respect for him, at least. It takes smarts and dedication to keep up a ruse like his for so long- Heather herself couldn't keep up the "nice girl" act for more than a few episodes- and she knows that Noah's deceptively smart.

Maybe that begrudging respect could blossom into more? Who's to say.

Maybe p!Noah also respects Heather's ruthlessness and cunning, since she was able to scheme and sabotage her way into the final three on Island. She's interesting, and Noah appreciates people who are interesting.

The main drawback of liking someone as eccentric as p!Noah is, as we saw with Izzy and Owen in canon, Heather would need to be able to keep up with him.

Obviously, Noah's not nearly as hyper and fickle as Izzy is, but he's just as impulsive and detached from reality. Heather can appreciate his cleverness and craftiness all she wants- if she can't deal with his callous madness, she'd have very little luck in trying to romance him.

The B pfp was an impulsive choice on my part but I'm not sorry for it because B deserves more recognition for literally carrying his whole team for the first few episodes. I do apologise for any confusion though!

#what i'm trying to say is p!noah could probably go toe-to-toe with heather strategy wise but doesn't because Your Boy is too invested--#in playing heinous practical jokes on the rest of the cast to dedicate himself to Actually Competing. and heather knows this.#and the only person heather's ever been canonically attracted to is someone who can 'equal' her in terms of strategy so...#though now i've given myself the idea of p!noah allowing heather to 'trick' him into an alliance because he thinks it'd be funny/interestin #playing the part of heather's guileless pawn. she'd quickly catch on to his act though bc she's a smart cookie.#then it'd be a game of Schemer's Chicken to see who calls out the other's 'wilful ignorance' first #it's a good thing this AU is strictly hypothetical because idk how it'd choose between ships.#total drama #psycho!noah au #noaheather #replies

aro culture is realizing that no matter how hard you try, you just lack the ability to see a lot of nuance in your friends’ romantic struggles beyond what logically makes sense… so you begin to space out whenever they enter lengthy conversations about dating struggles that you’ve heard over and over again, because the only response you can think of is “that sucks” or “you deserve better, move on”. But these are probably best left unsaid, so you say nothing at all and let the alloros handle it

.

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod axel #honestly the best i've got is to validate their emotions and suggest communication #and if communication breaks down... folks seriously gotta enforce boundaries.#like... *actual* enforced boundaries none of the empty threats shit #aka 'i've asked you to either put your dirty clothes in the laundry or work with me on an alternate solution and you've done neither. i wil #not do your laundry until you change your behavior.' and STICK. WITH. IT.#or the classic communication of boundaries: if you can't trust them to communicate or respect boundaries on the regular... BREAK. UP.#a healthy relationship does NOT contain feeling ignored and disrespected on the regular
