Queer: Feminism's "Little Sister"
You are reading http://viridianariverstone.blogspot.com/.
I coincidentally saw that Queer-bashing vid by that MRA. He uses inflammatory language, speaks in generalities, uses provocative language & baiting (eg: "Marxist). There's a huge movement in USA to discredit: science, women's autonomy, variation from binary hetero. I ask myself: who's promoting those ideas? Whom does it serve in a culture that requires soldiers, prisoners & "service" workers to keep corporations in the black? We are products. And he plays directly into that notion.
Then, argue against transhumanism, against prosthetics, against BlueTooth, against virtual reality gaming, against that new bracelet internet device. We can NOT use our primitive history 2 argue our future. Gender, sex & sexual orientation are changing. It's irrevocable. Our species doesn't require a binary anymore for compulsory breeding. In fact, to insist on one is deleterious 2 the evolution of the species.

Mental health crisis terrorizes woman on train

when we stigmatize mental health, people don't get better. And people in crisis can be terrifying -- whether they want to be, or not. Mean time, a woman is terrorized, simply for reading a book. http://unwinona.tumblr.com/post/30861660109/i-debated-whether-or-not-to-share-this-story

Magic Vagina Death Venom

Well, I guess it's all been choreographed rather well.
The GOP got some flaming gas bags from the Dark Ages to say outlandish, ridiculous laughable but extremely dangerous stuff about Queers and women. Oh, and poor folk. And people with disabilities and . . . hell, they want to legalize puppy mills and dog fighting. I'm not kidding.
Now, they're being laughed out of public discourse.
So, Obama will be re-elected.
And the Equal Rights Amendment has shaken off her thirty year coat of dust, is stretching the kinks out and has a very active FaceBook page, operated by NOW.
So, I guess they scared the crap out of us to get us all back in line for four more years.
I'm still voting for Jill Stein; a pox on both their houses. If I can get to vote. I'm considered a temporary resident, cuz I'm in this rv park.
In the mean time, here's some hysterical irony for you: Hurricane Ida is barreling down on Tampa, Fla, just in time for the GOP convention.
There's your "gods will".
And someone is selling Magic Vagina Death Venom on eBay.
Read the questions at the bottom. Hysterical. It's up to fifty dollars for the bottle, all donated
"Proceeds from the sales of Magic Vagina Death Venom bottles will help the A is For campaign continue it's work in educating the public about reproductive rights, and our financial support of our on-the-ground partner, The Center for Reproductive Rights.

USA: "Greatest" Nation?
You are reading http://viridianariverstone.blogspot.com/.

It's not true. We were never "the greatest" country; we were the most PRIVILEGED, with the greatest natural resources (stolen) per capita. His filter is that of a middle class, cis gendered, heterosexual, able bodied white man. He even says in the past that it was "men" who did the cool stuff. Anybody remember a little thing called "slavery?" What about the genocide of Native peoples? The religious wars and witch burnings? The monopolies and industrialists? How about Viet Nam, Korea, Granada, Iraq (twice), the Civil War, the Mexican American War? Anybody remember those? What about Queers and neuro-atypicals (like Stephen Hawking, for instance) locked up in "sanitariums?" What about the Tuskegee "experiments?" What about forced sterilization of Native women? What about blankets infested with small pox? What about the concentration camps for Japanese Americans? What about women, held as chattel property with no rights to their own: money, children, bodies, destinies, names, careers, educations? This is revisionist history. It's not true. We were NEVER the "greatest" nation, unless it's in terms of "might makes right," which is immoral, "Manifest Destiny," Christian hogwash. This speech is a tear jerking lie.

Science created women?

I objected in comments to this post. Read the skepticism and critical thinking in the poster's comments to me. cripes.
me: . . . because I think it's MUCH more important that science "created" THIS woman.
http://www.facebook.com/
me: ps: i hid the post b/c it's disrespectful of people who are not cis-gendered, heterosexual men, and to them, too.
me: Adendum: You have addressed me as "sir." Given the fact I have used the term, "cis-gendered," one might expect I do not hold to the binary. Therefore, proper protocol is to ASK a person's preferred pronouns and titles, rather than presume them. I can only deduce from this that you have no idea what "cis-gendered" means, nor what it implies about my position on binary, that you don't care, that you didn't bother to look it up and that you are so cis-sexist, you have no idea how homophobic, cis-sexist and Trans*phobic you have shown yourself to be. It's not my job to educate you; you have a search engine. Use it.

I'm using critical thinking and skepticism. We're supposed to do that. If I don't understand something, I look it up. That's what free thinkers, students and skeptics do. We don't swallow the Kool Aid. I have every right to be anywhere on the planet. Your cis-sexism is now telling me I don't have civil rights? That's reactionary. Just like a fundamentalist. It's cognative dissonance. I have every right to question people who claim to promote science, then behave like fundamentalists. This isn't a troll war. it's a discussion. Surely, you're capable of discussion, right? Surely, you have enough curiosity, skepticism and free thinking to LEARN? Right? Why are you taking this so personally? Because I dare challenge the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz? And you can't see the totalitarianism, close mindedness and reactionary nature of your own behavior? http://en.wikipedia.org/
Unbelievable. I was verbally abused and told I should leave.

This is exactly like racism:
is it the job of people of Color to educate non-Color people about their
privilege, their racism, their history? People of Color get placed in
that position, all the time, for survival, even and especially when they
have less resources, less time, more critical issues: educate the white
guy, so he won't hurt us. This is the same thing. EDUCATE YOURSELF and
get your boot off the necks of decent folk who are struggling just to
have a place at the table.

Sita Sings the Blues
It's very seldom anymore that, when I get to the end of a movie, I wish it could last. What a gorgeous film! This is so rich, artful and thoughtful. The attention to detail is amazing. The interface of Annette Hanshaw's music is brilliant. Now, to all you Hindu fundies who hate it: u seem to hate ANY modern interpretations by women film makers; that's the pattern I'm seeing. Stop vandalizing theaters & burning down movie sets! Grow an imagination & stop hating in the name of religion! GROW UP!
