i think i'd be a lot happier if i stopped talking to cis people about trans stuff and stopped talking to (physically) abled people about (physical) disabilities. i always just seem to end up educating them or getting told i'm overreacting when i point out a microagression. and it's tiring, i don't want to be doing this my whole life. i barely have energy for myself, let alone to also educate people and then be expected to comfort them bc they said/did something transphobic/ableist.

always an Experience to watch well-meaning cis people post stuff about that olympic boxer that's like "she's a WOMAN, not a man, not transgender" or "she is a BIOLOGICAL WOMAN". ik you're well-meaning but those can come across as pretty transphobic on their own. especially the "she's a woman, not trans" shit. lmao.

It’s hard to get donations from visitors because unseeing is essential to a fantasy of west Cornwall. If you know local children are living in insecure, mould-slaked housing and eating from food banks, it’s harder to follow your own paths into its dreamworlds. Cornwall is increasingly sold as a wellness destination, and if you have pity for others, you have less for yourself.

“We are not in favour of revitalising Cymraeg as the national language of Wales out of abstract affection for the language, but as a revolutionary strategy to decouple from Anglo-American hegemony and build a new society with our own language, an indigenous means of intellectual and community production at its core. In short, language is a tool for the production of knowledge and the coordination of movements.
Our commitment to the re-establishment of Cymraeg as the primary language of Wales stems from our commitment to Welsh sovereignty; economic, political and intellectual.” – excerpt from ‘The National Language’, soon to be released
