(Am I actually posting on Tumblr again??? Idk but it seems as good a time as any doesn't it)
Following horny people and opening tumblr in public is the path to true strength. Scrolling quickly through porn trains your [Warrior’s Reflexes], and calmly moving past it trains your [Warrior’s Resolve].
And as for strengthening your sword arm, well,
it’s existentially petrifying to imagine relinquishing the organized poverty we have in favor of an abundance we have never known and have yet to organize
Sophie Lewis, Abolish the Family
It's called "plus size" because it's a plus when a girl is that size :3

If you have the great (and rare) fortune to have a loving and supportive kinship network the abolition of the institution of the family is something you should support, because its ultimate goal is for everyone to have that love and support regardless of their luck in blood relations.
If you think of times that you wouldn’t have gotten through something if not for the support of your family, you should also be able to see how difficult it is for people who have abusive/neglectful family that they are forced to be reliant on in the absence of other support.

Towards the Abolition of The Family!
Why We Demand It and Why It Matters: A Thread

Excellent thread, thank you. The institution of family perpetuates cycles of abuse and dysfunction. Abused members may be held hostage by both their abusers and their own feelings of familial duty, which, for any multitude of reasons, they are unable to abandon.

THIS. It should be a connection of people who are voluntarily joined through love and support.

Yes. Telling me “sorry you have a crap family” makes me want to abolish yours, okay? /s

I learned an enormous amount from this thread and the nested thread. It’s about how institutional power isn’t just concentrated in “the church” and “the government,” but also in “the family”—a relationship that gets clearer when you think about how cisheteropatriarchy works.
I’m particularly struck by what OP says about how abuse victims are often isolated within families—particularly if they are children, older or disabled—because (as I’ve recently experienced) outsiders are hugely reluctant to interfere between partners, or parents and children
Also now I think about it, even the fact I thoughtlessly said “interfere” says a lot—what if we reframed it as “intervening”?
