Quick takeaway: Resist the urge to make casual “lizard people” jokes even though it seems like it’s just a harmless, out-there conspiracy to reference for funzies. Most people aren’t aware that concept is related to a specific set of beliefs developed by a specific person: David Icke. As these conspiracies tend to do, his veer […]

“That’s all in the past; I’m different now,” is really only relevant to your subjective self. It may be good that you have found your essence has changed. It can be helpful to think yourself moved out of one category and into another. To the rest of us, though, all we have access to are […]

When we say “crime is a social construction” we don’t mean that the harm done when someone is killed, robbed, or assaulted (including sexually assaulted) is subjective or all in your head. We mean U.S. cops execute an unknown exactly but thousand-plus people per year, and it’s never murder; it’s a “good kill” or, with […]

Tumblr’s @aylonit [now @disabilitiez]From a physically disabled, wheelchair user: stop using the word “crippled” to describe your experience with anxiety, depression, etc “I have crippling anxiety” “i have crippling depression” “the stress from it all is crippling” you are using a slur.

Zootopia has the common fallacy of animal allegory fiction that altho its message is one thing (“racism/misogyny are bad”) everything else about the universe runs contrary to that because there actually are essentialist differences between animal species. Something you notice about Robin Hood is that, for the most part, there’s no rhyme or reason to […]

This is a non-theistic space, not an anti-theist space. We don’t talk about negatively about “religion” because the problems we have with particular religions are not located in their beliefs in the supernatural or their rituals.
