something I needed to see today, yall dont need to justify being in pain. Anybody that tells you that you have to is just a bigot <3

This is an image of a person sitting on the ground hugging themselves, with text around them. The title is "your pain is valid even if..." and the rest of the text is "You perform well at school/work", "you don't know why you're in pain", "you are an extrovert", "you hide it well", "you fell like it is not as bad as someone else's", you haven't sought help", "you don't have a diagnosis yet", "you can afford treatment", "you seem like you've got it all figured out", "nobody knows about it", and "you are 'used to it'" There is a small username that says @chronicallyMeh

Diagnosis is one of the hierarchies over us. Our community doesn't need the permission of doctors to exist

An image of a social media post by someone called Autistic gay wizard (@wizardOfAutism) The text says "A lot of people don't get diagnosed as autistic because the criteria for being diagnosed is based on how inconvenient autism is for the people around us and not how it actually feels to be an autistic person on the inside"

Boarders are a human creation, there is no reason to forcibly package needs and social groups together

The astronaut meme of 2 astronauts looking at earth. One says "wait, there's no boarders?". There is an american flag on their shoulder.. The astronaut holding a gun pointing at the other one is saying "never has been". There is an ancom flag on their shoulder..

This includes asking everyone what their gender and pronouns are, not just people who "look queer"

A dark-themed screenshot of a Twitter post by Sascha Viktor (@confusedOphan). It says "you don't actually support trans people until you learn to treat non-passing trans people as their correct gender. non-passing trans women are still women. they're not men. non-passing trans men are still men. they're not women. internalise this or leave trans people alone."

the small things matter far more than most people think. If you can't find what you can do to help find small individual actions you can make a habit

a tweet by ol' what's her name (@ohDionne saying "There's one man on my team who, when a woman is interrupted (often), he’ll say "you were going to say?" I respect the hell out of him. It’s not easy for women to get back in a meeting after we’re interrupted, and he knows that."

oppressed people have far less friends to choose from, often none at all. Fascists are lonely because they are fascists, they are not fascist because they are lonely.

A tweet by scott westerfeld @scottWesterfeld that says 'If every incel somehow got a girlfriend, the net violence in the world would only go up. Because guys who think like this are violent to their girlfriends. It's not their singleness that's dangerous; it's the way they think about women.". It was posted 4/28/18

There are now 28 empty houses for every homeless person in the US. Production happens regardless of consumption and we will not survive while capitalist production stands.

A screenshot of a tweet by Bree Newsome Bass, @BreeNewsome. It says 'I want everyone to understand that homelessness is a feature of the housing market. Not a bug. Not an unfortunate byproduct. It's a deliberate process of denying people access to a basic necessity of life in order to create false scarcity in the market & enrich the ownership class.'

Laws aren't what's written on paper, laws are what are enforced, and police get to enforce what they want when they want.

An image of a white guy cop staring at the camera with his hands on his hips over a pink background with the text "Look bud, I don't make the rules. I just voluntarily signed up to enthusiastically enforce the violence that they require."

You are not immune to propaganda. Every image and the emotions in them shape your reactions and worldview whether you want them to or not. There is no safe consumption of news media

This is an image of a tweet containing two images with two news articles underneath it. The text of the tweet is "The media when a black man shoplifts bread to feed his daughter vs when a white man murders family and dissolves them in acid. There is an image of a black person in a prison jumpsuit staring blankly at the camera. The next is a white man smiling lying down on his stomach with his kids laughing lying on top of him. Underneath this are two news articles. The first is titled "2 People Suspected of Stealing 90 Cans of Baby Formula from Walmart" with the link bit.ly/2l1jhjS. The next is 'St. Charles Man Killed Daughters Before Telling Wife to "Live and Suffer."' (bit.ly/2mlWjkf). This one has an image of his daughters smiling with him off to the side smiling and leaning his head towards them.

Our main goal with right wingers shouldn't be to recruit them, it should be to confuse them. Find where what they say they believe and what they actually believe is different, and hit it like this

A screenshot of a Reddit post on the r/Conservative subreddit. The title of the post reads: 'Is my boss a communist?' from u/concerned-antiCommie' The text of the post is: "I think my boss might be a communist. So a while ago, I got my first paycheck at my new job at a fast food place. I guess it wasn't too bad, but I did the math and figured out that I sold a lot more food per hour than I got paid for, even when you account for the value of the food. When I tried to talk to him about it, he said we're all part of one big team, but some people get paid more than others. This is suspiciously close to the famous "some people are more equal than others" from my favorite book, animal farm and this is what really got me thinking about this. We make the money, and then he takes it and gives it to someone else who doesn't even work! I'm no economist, but this is textbook socialism. I think I've come to the conclusion that the best way for me to combat these socialist business practices would be teaming up with my fellow workers, unity out (sic) power and demonstrate that we understand the full value of our labor. Anyone else have similar experiences with obviously marxist bosses before, or any other advice?"

Cis people are given far too much slack. If you think it is "reasonable" for them to have trouble imagining a trans person as their actual gender, you are transphobic too

A twitter post by @wokingGirl1. It says When my sister married, and changed her title and name, my aunts were all "ooh, congratulations MRS <newname>". When I transitioned and changed my tile (sic) and name they were all "it's too hard, I’ve always known you as…". If you’re cis and you’ve done this, maybe reflect on why.'"

Oppression comes from members of a social class on the basis of being part of that social class. It might not be all men, but it is all Men.

A 5 frame comic where a person in a purple shirt is saying "not all" and gets cut off by a person saying "shhh" more loudly for the next 3 frames where she puts him in a choke hold. In the last frame she says " We know it's not all men, white people, straight people, white people, etc. But it's too many. It's enough. And you being more offended by the implication that some of your peers can be bad than by the harm they actually cause makes you part of the problem.

"Independence" is the greatest tool the capitalists have at prying apart the workers. Kiss your homies goodnight and forge a bond that cannot be broken

A tweet and an image of text by @cindyWangeBranndt It says "This is very normalized in my culture. The first time I asked an American friend to errand hang with me, she was so shocked I felt like I did something wrong. That's when I learned in american culture, expecting company for mundane reasons is considered not independent enough. The attached image says "Can we take a moment to talk about the sweetness of the errand friend hang?" The errand hang - where you hit your homie up to accompany you while you tend to the tasks that come with adulting - the grocery run, getting a pair of pants tailored, helping you pick a new bedframe, etc. The errand hang dismisses the usual setting of a bar or a lunch, It waves off the expected script of "give me the summarized updates of your life then I'll give you the sum of mine" Instead the errand hang dances in the sweet vulnerability that comes from the everyday. The errand hang sings "Ok I'm a human and you're a human and we're going to take an intimate walk through this seemingly ordinary part of my life, but if you look closely this moment will reveal something delightfully specific and illuminating to what makes me - me, and I want to share that with you because quite frankly - I just like your company, and even in the silence (sometimes especially the silence) it makes me feel somewhere between warmer and content to have you beside me

"It's just an image", "it's just a meme", "it's just a form", and many more I can list. If yall are anarchists you should be working to fill in these gaps. Get alt-text for images so more people can interact

"A black and white, illustrative poster depicts a person in a wheelchair very small and at the gap between a train and the platform. There is the giant feet of someone in heels simply walking over the gap. Overlayed text says 'TO YOU, IT'S JUST A SMALL GAP...' positioned across the stairs. In the lower-left corner, a QR code is visible. Next to that is the text "What may be a simple task to you, can be an impossible obstacle to overcome for others. Hong Kong PHAB association is committed to integration between people with and without disabilities to create a barrier free society to all. Next to that is some text in another language. and text stating "Hong Kong PHAB association."

Jailing people costs more, and there are 10 times as many empty houses as homeless people here in the US.

The US is a slave state.

to the liberals: no matter how anti-fascist you are, fascists can't exist without the police you are building and protecting

A very blurred hand moving quickly towards a blue button. The button has the text “building the structures fascists need”. The hand has the text “liberals”.
