After two years I finally managed to offer a patreon-system membership via ko-fi.com/activistwitch read alt for full details. If you can support us here's some extra perks, but knowledge and educational content will always be free for everyone #witchsky
Galaxy background with a picture of Ysha and Raven from Activist Witch framed. it reads: monthly memberships ko-fi.com/activistwitch Perks include: End credits Discord access Video polls Monthly audios Possible book clubs Possible spell/rituals PDFs Monthly livestream Access to "forbidden videos" In red at the bottom in all capitals it reads: note: no knowledge resource will ever be kept behind paywall. These are just extras! Full text: KO-FI MEMBERSHIPS ARE HERE! If you ever wanted to join a Patreon-like system and support us, now you can! Perks include: - Discord server access - Video Credits - Video Polls - Monthly Audio Podcast/Offering - Possible Spells/Rituals in PDF and Book Clubs (when spoons allow) - Monthly 2 hour livestream - Occasional "forbidden videos" i can't post on youtube (like the one you got reels from last week but couldn't post in full about white supremacist witches) NOTE: my moral and ethical stance is to NEVER PUT BEHIND A PAYWALL any sort of education resource like you find in my video essays. These are perks to thank people who can help us survive as disabled broke witches in late stage capitalism, but that's what they are, extra perks. If you can afford it safely and would like to help: thank you. If you can't, don't worry, nothing changes and we will still both share the educational content, sources and essays that we have always shared publicly, for everyone to access. Supporting us on ko-fi simply helps us survive a bit more safely within the cost of living crisis, and therefore gives us a chance to keep working and researching to bring you free knowledge without having to live in constant high levels of anxiety. PS: It took me TWO years to accept this was an option worth having and worth bringing to those who would like to help, because i have an awful relationship with money under capitalism, but having made sure this is extra value without exploiting my own work and value, here it finally is.

I don't recall where I found this, but I'd say this looks about right.
Two scales illustrating the social environment composed by men. The first, prefaced with "I've learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this" shows over 95% of the line to depict "good men", and a small bit to illustrate "crazed evil men". The second line, prefaced with "But it's actually closer to this", is labeled as follows: at the 1/8 mark, "heroic men who will intervene" another eighth "well-meaning men who underestimate the issue", the next line, at about halfway, reads "men who think certain women deserve it (but aren't active predators)" , the line after that, "men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation", at the 3/4 mark, "textbook predators we're all afraid of" and a final mark nearly at the extreme end of the scale, labeled "monsters so cruel we can't even fathom them".

I will bother you a lot to read this, because it's the best bloody thing I've ever written and I guarantee it gives action points to stop taking it like a sitting duck from patriarchy. ESPECIALLY if you're cis, white, dainty or a combination of the three. activistwitch.substack.com/p/cis-white-...

Check the Alt text. TL;DR when white women understand that "cis, white, and dainty" means pretty, in the same breath as they deny their pretty privilege got them anything.
I can't imagine the level of coddling I would have been given had I been born cis, white, and dainty. And I know because I so very much wanted to be those things and I myself have associated those characteristics with good qualities because society says so, that I myself will coddle cis white and dainty people while they literally deny my experience of marginalisation because I'm not cis, not white, and not dainty. The irony is absolutely not lost on me. I was raised on Manga. There's no people who look like me in manga. And one wonders why I have body dysmorphia uh? At least I'm finally writing the essay on the matter I've been putting off for 4 years...

Finding out that the unionist side of the military checkpoint walls in Belfast has murals to Israel recognising their shared struggles with the IDF has fundamentally changed me as a person I think

Ten years in prison for tipping a cam model to masturbate.

The Crime and Policing Bill is working overtime to re-criminalize sex work ... which I guess will give them crime and more funds for policing.
The penalty on paying would apply when a sex act involves physical contact between the person paying and a sex worker or when it involves a sex worker "touching themselves for the sexual gratification of the other person." The touching provision doesn't seem to include any exceptions for instances when the performance is done digitally, which could make it illegal to pay someone putting on a webcam show or to directly pay a performer for a clip. The punishment for paying for sexual activity or paying to watch someone masturbate would also be up to 10 years in prison.

Hidden in the controversial about UK "choking ban" proposal are a host of even more egregious proposals that could:

* make camming illegal
* redefine escort ads as pimping
* render model contracts unenforceable
* criminalize discussions of teen sexuality

And a whole lot more ...
Moral panic about rough sex gives way to censorship in the UK
British regulators and lawmakers are hot on a measure that would make possessing or publishing strangulation porn a crime.

trying to bring inverted hierarchy to enforce by the guilt of the -let's be honest- white people present who are ashamed of ever being called the oppressor and so enable abuse as long as it comes from someone they perceive as more marginalised.

Tumblr discourse can pretty much be summed up as "at the end of the day, aren't the most marginalized people actually the most privileged?" because, in their minds, being the most marginalized means more people will care about you

My whole life is being yelled at by white people who cling to what little bit of marginalization they have. They have this idea that being of color means everyone jumps through hoops for us and we get all the support and attention.

Meanwhile it's a hassle to get mfs to not use microaggressions.
