Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

tweet by Zara Larsson @zaralarsson:
Isn't it strange how every woman knows someone who's been sexually harassed but no man seem to know any harasser?

Alright. I took time to read your other reactions, and I don’t understand why you would react like this to my own testimony.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough. When I said I only met 2 harassers in my life, I didn’t mean there wasn’t many. I meant they are good at hiding. My own brother looks like an angel, and you wouldn’t tell by seeing him in public, but he acts like a fucking monster the moment a woman is involved. I discovered the true face of my former Texan friend years after we met.

My other and very personal point was to show that not every women are even able to say no. Patriarchy is not just men telling women what they can or can’t do. It’s also a voice deep in women head that need to be shut. Those are not my words, and I would have found difficult to believe that some women could accept to spend two days straight chilling with a man they don’t even like AND who just abused them if I didn’t experience it myself. That part was for the men who were reading. That was a word of caution to the men, because men need to be educated.

I thought my own experience could be insightful, and I am sorry if I hurt you in any way.

EDIT I am beginning to think I misspoke the word harasser for another, more dangerous kind of men. Violent jealous stalker is more akin to what I meant
