Finding out your friend is a scab is worth ending a friendship over

If they’ll betray the working class to help some capitalists break a strike, who knows what else they’re capable of? Now, if you’re the sort of person who feels sympathy for the scabs and who thinks their “economic anxiety” justifies them taking jobs that starve strikers and their families, the best thing for you to […]

Womanhood is good, expansive and resilient

Tumblr @testosteronebutchI get so frustrated when I see fellow sapphics saying that womanhood is necessarily constricting to us. Like, womanhood is so diverse and doesn’t have to be limited by the gender roles pushed on us by a heteronormative society. My butchness and masculinity don’t mean I can’t be a woman, even if I experience […]

“Reformed fascists” have a lot more work to do than just showing up

This is a really good framing for how to treat fascists, including so-called “reformed fascists” So often centrists, but also white “united front” leftists, allocate all their empathy to the fascist because they think “what if I had gone down that path?” In so doing they reveal that, whatever their rhetoric, they think politics is […]

When white supremacy trumps “male privilege”

Tumblr @doberbuttsI had the cops called on me once (on TDoV lmao) because I was in a field with Creed offleash tweaking our heeling. The woman who reported us said that there was a “black man with an aggressive dog” and that we were scaring her. There was no one in the field with us […]

@doberbutts And because I talk about intersectionality- This is why trans men are repeatedly saying we do not have male privilege in the way that is being assumed of us. Especially not trans men of color, and especially especially not black trans men. Sometimes, in some situations, I am regarded as a man. But I am always black. It is not safer to be a black man. A white woman tried to get me killed or arrested so she could run her aggressive pit bull in the field next to both of our houses. She knew who I was. She was our neighbor. I passed her several times walking Creed. Her dog was always offleash in that field and out of control when on leash walking on the street. Don’t tell me she has any right to fear me because “well you’re a man” when I have every right to fear how she is going to wield her whiteness as a weapon against me. That could have been my name on the next tagline for a week.

Whether arson is violence or pacifism depends entirely on what’s being burned

Construction is not more valuable than destruction when what’s being built is a concentration camp; the maintenance of a prison factory is not a neutral act just because it preserves the status quo. When colonized and enslaved people set fires to homes of their overseers, broke the equipment for mining or sugar processing, and killed […]

No one cares what you think a “real Satanist” is

Criticism of Satanism and Satanists tends to fall into one of only two types. The first and most common generally is just right-wing reactionary paranoia; it’s typical antisemitic tropes dressed up in horns, a tail, and handed a pitchfork to be able to be shouted openly with only people in-the-know understanding the implicit Judenhass. But […]

“Thou Art God” — and so is everyone else

Satanism is a religion of uplifting the individual. You are not an insignificant, miserable sinner in the hands of an angry god; “Thou art god.” You are important. You are valuable. But—and this is crucial—so is everyone else. We are all that important, that valuable. No one should be ruled over because everyone is important. […]
