Boundaries of normality are policed through colonial medicalized authority. "Normal" people don’t yell and scream, even in the face of constant violence. This is used to turn the image of the angry activist into a tool to delegitimize their demands by Othering them. www.patreon.com/posts/142419...
Boundaries of normality are policed through colonial medicalized authority (Race 2005): ‘normal’ people 
don’t yell and scream, even in the face of constant violence; this conception is used to turn the image of 
the angry activist, yelling and screaming, into a tool to delegitimize the demands of the activist by 
Othering them. Bianca C. Williams argues that these affective stereotypes can show how power functions 
in a society (Williams 2018). It was notable that I heard more than one agonist recommend, as a technique 
to cope with and process intense emotions, crying and screaming into a pillow—so the neighbours won’t 
hear. The scream is cathartic, but the need to perform normality (lest one draw unwanted attention to 
oneself in an alienated social environment and housing crisis that is already hostile to marginalized 
people) constrains the available options for catharsis into situations when one has pillow access and the 
wherewithal to correctly muffle one’s sacred rage. Whether the activist is muffling their cries out of care 
and respect for the neighbours, or out of a trauma-based fear of consequences such as police being called 
or landlord harassment, can be felt in the activist’s body.

I have decided I'm no longer pulling my punches on the subject of bigotry against children. youtu.be/EnhUognsPYo
No. It's bigotry. People who justify other forms of bigotry make *the exact same arguments.* They all think their form of bigotry is uniquely justified because of the behaviour of the target group. I know it's very hard for people to accept that they're participating in a form of prejudice, especially those who consider themselves otherwise progressive, but it is what it is. 

For those who want to learn more, I recommend reading the companion article to this video for additional context.

I spent the weekend clearing brush from a friend's land with a machete, chopping wood, building & maintaining a fire pit by myself, and sleeping in a Mongolian yurt, and that felt approximately one thousand times better than reading social media comments

TIL that the current King of England was caught having phone sex with the current Queen of England in 1993 a month after he'd separated from Princess Diana and it's a window into the dark corners of the royal mind that I wish I could un-see

Camilla: Oh, perhaps you could come back as a box.
Charles: What sort of box?
Camilla: A box of Tampax, so you could just keep going.[9][10]

I am crying. This is the funniest thing I've ever read
New York sculptor spent $100,000 to make a Charlie Kirk statue no one wants to buyA New York sculptor has been left furious after spending $100,000 of his own money to build a lifesize statue of Charlie Kirk, only to find that no one wants to buy it.

Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise “millions” of dollars. Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.

To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.

“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.
