There’s no meaningful difference between these two pictures unless you have an intense fear and hatred of men.
“WhY woUlD a mAn wwAnT tO wEaR a DrEss anD hEeLs tO rEaD tO kiDs”
Idk why does Dolly Parton? She wants to entertain kids & help them get into reading. It’s only because of stereotyping men (especially gay men) as predators that people lose their minds over drag queen story hour. Or they’ve mistakenly labeled it as trans and they fear trans women (usually also because they view them as men who they view as predators)

Thinking about all the reactionary stereotypes of socialism that I just unwittingly reinforced for them when I was younger.
Like no, actually, I don't want to "eat the rich" I want to take back the value that the actually productive class of society creates from the parasites that steal it from us.
When I say proletariat I don't mean "the poor" I mean the class that built the modern world. The class that keeps everything running. The class without whom society would collapse. The class without whom the grocery stores would be empty, the hospitals would shudder, the ambulances would break down, and the crops would fail.
When I say bourgeois I don't mean "the rich" I mean the parasitic, extractive class that will make any excuse for the needless suffering and death of millions; who will devour millions of lives and make any excuse for it but their addiction to stuffing their coffers.
I will not allow the reactionary narratives of socialists being resentful, jealous good-for-nothings to define my socialism. I will not define my socialism in bourgeois terms. Anyway I've clearly drank way too much coffee this morning byeeee ~<3

Moving Post, take 2
SO IT'S HAPPENING. October 27th/28th, so take note.
I know I was supposed to move in August, but delays happened. Dates didn't line up with @archangelsanonymous. My grandmother fell ill enough we thought she was on her way out. I also fell into a deep depression that took up most of September.
BUT. Things are in motion now. I am sorting through belongings, selling furniture and other things, and working to figure out how to afford everything.
The thing is, I had reserved movers twice before and lost my deposits on both. I've had an extra two months of bills I hadn't budgeted for. A friend who'd offered $500 had to back out.
-I have to pay for the moving trailer.
-I have to pay for gas for my car, my parents' truck hauling said trailer, both ways for the last one.
-I have to cover their food and their hotel stay.
-I should also cover food for everyone helping me move, whether it's unloading the trailer or helping me get furniture set up over the next couple days.
-I still have some things I should probably to have up there (new power strip with enough plugs for my computer stuff, for example).
I'd quit reblogging my original post because I thought I was good on money, but this loss of $500 hits hard.
So, instead of adding to that post yet again, let me just summarize why I am moving and why I need help. (If you can or care to, I do have PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, etc. Also an Amazon wishlist. Just message me for details!)
I'm Susan. I'm 37 and disabled, so I don't work. Disability and IRS law limit how much I'm able to earn with side gigs, so I'm limited in how I can make money beyond the $667 I get a month to live on.
I'm currently in Alabama. My parents are controlling assholes who are also the most charming and caring people you'll ever meet - if you're not me. Even at my age, they feel they have the rights to control my money, my housing, my housekeeping, my legal decisions, everything because they let me live in one of their investment houses.
Earlier this year, they started saying that since I didn't meet their impossible standards (I am cluttered, but they are hyperclean), I would need to find somewhere to live. So I did - I took up my friend Patt on their offer of a room in Wisconsin.
If I doubted that this was a good idea, my therapist did a literal happy dance when I told her my decision.
As soon as I told them I was moving, they blew up. Called me stupid, among other names, claimed they never told me I'd need to move, tried to say I was having a manic period (I don't get manic). Over the last couple of months, they've been somewhat helpful - mostly since I agreed to let them help me move - but they're still trying to guilt me into staying.
So getting away is going to be a big change, but a good one. I will figure out SOMETHING, even if it's having to owe my parents money, but I'm getting out of here.

When we consider abusive relationships, we often think of domestic violence, verbal and emotional degradation, and physiological neglect. These are all correct and valid interpretations of the term "abusive relationships".
I think an aspect of abusive relationships that doesn't get enough attention, however, is coerced association. If you don't want a relationship with someone, and they violate that boundary, that's an offense against your dignity, your ability to control where to invest your time and energy and emotions, your ability to control how you share yourself and your life. When you find you're forced to spend time with someone you don't want to, forced to spend energy on a relationship that isn't bringing you joy and fulfillment but is instead draining you, closing down your mind to joy and flourishing and focusing your mind and soul to fear, resentment, anxiety, terror, and rage... That's our response to being victims in a coerced association.
A coerced association is immoral for the same reason slavery is immoral: it violates the consent ethic. Coerced associations and slavery both objectify the victim, transform the victim into a resource for the offender's exploitation. It is a violation of the divine spark that lies within our souls.
Incidentally this is the core of democracy's failure. The election process is naught but a giant web of coerced associations. We are either subjected to the rule of strangers with values we do not share and are therefore victims of tyranny, or we seek to control strangers without regard to their values and become tyrants ourselves. And in my case, where I refuse to become a tyrant or endorse someone else's tyranny, I become a victim of both sides.
I am absolutely convinced that the decline of our society, the plummet of trust we share in our neighbors, is directly tied to the increased control our government demands over our lives. The more control the government has over us, the higher the chance they can harm us or prevent our flourishing; the more imperative it becomes to minimize the harm from government and minimize its interference to our flourishing, the drive to control that government increases; the more we seek to control that government, the more we will encounter ideological conflict from those trying to do the same thing we are doing, to mutually exclusive ends: the more we try to compete for a finite resource like control of the government, the more we are driven to mistrust and fear and hate each other.
The solution, therefore, is to recognize that we have no right to control the lives of others just as they have no right to control our lives. We must reject authoritarianism both locally and nationally. Once we eliminate these coerced relationships we have with each other, more honest and meaningful consensual relationships can arise and thrive; I genuinely believe we will witness an explosion of flourishing, should we make consent the constant foundation of our relationships.
