[Image ID:
A picture that says “A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization? The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon. 
Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.”
The second picture is a news headline. It is bolded and a much larger font. “27-year-old who couldn’t afford $1,200 insulin copay dies after trying cheaper version.”
The third picture is the same font and size as the Margaret Mead quote. It’s a continuation. It says, “A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend.” 
The fourth picture is another headline. It is in a large and bolded type. “Dying man who couldn’t afford to go to hospital after vomiting blood"
The fifth picture is a screenshot of the Margaret Mead story.
Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur. 
The next screenshot is of a slightly different font. The letters are pointier and the lines are a little curvier. It says, “Susan Finley returned to her job at a Walmart retail store in Grand Junction Colorado, after having to call in sick because she was recovering from pneumonia.
The day after she returned, the fifty three  year old received her ten year associate award — and was simultaneously laid off, according to her family. She had taken off one day beyond what is permitted by Walmart’s attendance policy.
After losing her job in May 2016, Finley also lost her health insurance coverage and struggled to find a new job. Three months later, Finley was found dead in her apartment after avoiding going to see a doctor for flu-like symptoms. 
A screenshot of a bold, bigger headline. It says ‘The house always wins’: Insurers’ record profits.
A final screenshot of smaller text with a slightly gray background. It says “We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.” /end ID.]

it rules that the only act of "antisemitism" that will be recognized and materially punished in the western world in the current day is mourning the death of Palestinian children

Hamas is already going for full Holocaust levels of inhuamanity. Not even 24 hours into the attacks, and their first inclination is dehumanizing behavior. I’m not a fan of Israel’s current government but Hamas needs to be ended, not stopped, ended.

the class war is not some hypothetical future event. class war is being waged right now, by the ruling class, against you, every single day of your life. the question is what you're going to do to fight back.

if the one you love tells you, in a sexual setting: "you can do anything you want with me", and your response is to hurt her, you do not love her. that's it, that is the only thing. if you truly love someone, you don't look for permission or consent to harm her. if she is your beloved, you simply do not wish any hurt to befall her, and if you do, i implore you to question why you think that love can exist alongside a desire to hurt that person. if you orgasm when hearing your partner weep from pain - pain YOU inflicted nonetheless - how is that love? how can anyone ever call such a thing love?

common excuses for centering men in fandom and why they don’t work
disclaimer: i am not trying to start a fight, or call out anyone personally. the goal is to encourage critical thinking and self-examination. also, this is a tma blog so a couple things will be tma-specific, but the general principles apply to all fandom.
definitions: “centering men” is a concept i learned from black lesbians, and it means “to prioritize men, to pay more attention to them, to make discussions about them, essentially to place/keep them at the center of whatever is happening.” centering men =/= liking or being attracted to them, because you can do both those things without centering them.
why we all center men at first: in a patriarchal society, we are all conditioned to center men at all times. a lot of us don’t even realize we’re doing it. men comprise most ceos, politicians, legendary heroes, main characters, folks taking up space in discussions, etc. so a lot of us don’t even question men’s right to be at the center of fandom matters too. that’s perfectly normal, but it is all of our responsibility to question it and do something about it.
what to do about that: very few people center men on purpose, because it is the default for all of us, but unlearning that patriarchal conditioning has to be on purpose. that is a choice you need to make if you want the world to be more equitable for women and other non-men, and i cannot make that choice for you, but i strongly encourage you to make it and continue making it every single day.
what centering men looks like in a fandom context: prioritizing making art of male characters. prioritizing writing meta about male characters. prioritizing writing fic about m/m ships. mostly reading/seeking out/sharing fan content about male characters. having lots of complex, in-depth meta and headcanons about male characters, but flattening the female characters to “badass” or “soft cinnamon roll” or “evil.” condemning evil or morally grey female characters for the bad stuff they do, and then turning around and stanning male characters who are equally evil or morally grey. inventing detailed personalities and storylines for background male characters, while ignoring main female characters who already have detailed personalities and storylines.
common excuses for centering men in a fandom context:
“female characters(/wlw ships) just aren’t that compelling or well-written” this excuse may work in some fandoms, but in tma and other pieces of media with complex, well-written female characters, this doesn’t work. the female characters are compelling, the wlw ships have depth, and the only reason that you don’t find them interesting is because you have a subconscious bias towards men. i’m not saying you have to like every character or ship, but if you categorically ignore all the women, there is a problem and it is not with the media.
“i am a gay/trans man so i relate to male characters more” cool, good for you. but just because you relate to men more, doesn’t mean that women don’t exist or are unworthy of attention. make an effort. you are still a man, and thus still capable of perpetuating misogyny. you’re allowed to relate to the men more, but it is your responsibility to unlearn patriarchal tendencies and make fandom a welcoming space for women & female characters.
“i just like/relate to male characters more” hmm, and why is that? no really, why do you think it is? could it have anything to do with the patriarchy that tells us in a million ways every day that men are better, worthier, more interesting than women? your preferences don’t come from nowhere. examine them, unlearn them. 
how to unlearn patriarchal conditioning and start de-centering men in fandom: seek out media with complex women in it. pay attention to them, their backstories, their motivations, their opinions. create & seek out fan content about them, whether that be fic, art, meta, jokes, whatever. pay attention to your reactions (i.e. if a scene is primarily about a female character, ask yourself, “why am i focusing more on how a male character is reacting?”) and then shift your focus accordingly. it will be difficult, it will be uncomfortable, it will be hard work. but don’t take that as an excuse to be like “oh well i just wasn’t meant to enjoy female characters in fandom” and go back into your men-centric comfort zone. no. the discomfort means you’re going against the flow of the patriarchy, which is a good thing. the more effort you make to center women in fandom, the easier it will get, and you’ll be so glad you did.
conclusion: no one is telling you you can’t like male characters (and if that’s your main takeaway from this post, you need to learn better reading comprehension). what we are telling you is that you need to examine your internal biases and stop making men the be-all end-all of your fandom experience. not only is it the right thing to do, but you will experience media in a richer way than ever before. make an effort, and try it out.

The “babygirlification” or “teenage-girlification” of characters such as Kendall and Roman Roy, Tom Wambsgans, Tony Soprano, Christopher Moltisanti, Don Draper, Pete Campbell, and Jesse Pinkman, while funny, is also a signifier of the genre’s woman problem. I understand that much of this trend is rooted in irony and I too as a 21 year old woman often say “He’s just like me” when referring to the aforementioned characters. But language trends are often revealing and given the lack of leading women in this genre, I think it reveals a lot. I find it ironic that people are more than ready to use “female language” for these characters when highlighting how sympathetic they are, but don’t lend that same sympathy toward their actual female counterparts. There’s clearly an understanding that being those things— a teenage girl, a babygirl, a girl in general— is hard and can cause a lot of pain, but somehow this understanding doesn’t translate onto the women on screen who actually go through this. [...] A woman is supposed to be impossibly good. She is meant to be your doting daughter, your loving wife, and your nurturing mother. When she falls out of line from any one of these things, she’s a bitch. A man could kill someone (this could be referring to a plethora of our beloved prestige TV male protagonists) and he’d still receive sympathy from viewers. For some reason (the reason is quite obvious) when women are morally grey, subtlety is completely lost.

i’m just incredibly over how whenever a woman makes a movie about women it gets picked over to hell and back and men hate it because they hate women and women hate it because it didn’t Do Feminism Perfectly Right and queer people on tumblr hate it because it’s about a straight woman and republicans hate it because it’s furthering the woke agenda and everybody and their fucking father has to write a goddamn think piece about it. and then a man makes a movie about a man and it’s just a movie. it’s just another movie that came out on a friday during some month of the year. and usually the man’s movie is a little misogynistic but no one really criticizes that because well he’s a man we can’t expect better from him haha isn’t it so silly when those male directors hate women!! but then the female director literally gets her every decision analyzed by everyone for the next month not even counting all the criticism and analyzing that was done during the lead up to her movie. and then we all have to pretend like it’s not horrifically misogynistic to level all that extra criticism onto women who make movies and then just let the men go do whatever. like i’m sooo sick of it i’m so sick of it! and god forbid someone like me log on to whatever social media platform and say hey don’t you guys think you’re being too critical? because then WE’RE the bad guy for hating perfect intersectional feminism i guess. like i’m so deeply deeply sick of this are you all not sick of this.
