When we say genocide, we fucking mean genocide. Call it what it is.

Just finished reading Attack on Titan. What a journey. Thank you Hajime Isayama for creating such a powerful and moving masterpiece!!!
There is a lengthy write-up in the Tallahassee Democrat on this bill and what it would change: https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/state/2023/04/11/florida-legislature-follows-desantis-in-expanding-death-penalty/70103202007/. Bringing back the death penalty for child rape has been a conservative bugbear even since SCOTUS handed down Kennedy v. Louisiana in 2008. I oppose this and it’s gross, but note this:
The bill allows a jury by a vote of at least 8-4 to recommend a death sentence for sexual battery on a child under age 12. The jury must find at least two aggravating factors present from a list included in the bill to reach that conclusion, but Wayt described what he saw as an inherent flaw in the proposal
Among the factors, one would require the assault to be “heinous, atrocious or cruel.” Another factor states that the victim must be “especially vulnerable.” Wayt pointed out that the bill, itself, declares the crime of child sexual assault as heinous and inflicted on someone vulnerable.
Also, this is in direct conflict with applicable federal precedent, so here’s what will happen:
- The Florida legislature will pass this bill and DeSantis will sign it into law. DeSantis will say a bunch of performative bullshit about child safety and law-and-order.
- A liberal and/or criminal defendants advocacy group will immediately file suit to enjoin this law because it conflicts with Kennedy v. Louisiana. A federal district judge will grant injunction.
- Florida will set some taxpayer money on fire and appeal. This appeal will be heard by the 11th Circuit. To be clear, months will pass before anything interesting happens.
- The 11th Circuit probably upholds the district court, because they’re supposed to follow precedent. Whether they do or do not, whoever loses will appeal to the Supreme Court. It’s late 2024 or mid-2025 by now.
- The Supreme Court does a thing. There are probably votes there to overturn Kennedy v. Louisiana. However! The non-unanimous jury provision would probably be scrutinized under Ramos v. Louisiana, a 2020 SCOTUS decision that requires a unanimous verdict to convict a defendant of a serious offense. That one didn’t split on “party lines”; Gorsuch and Kavanaugh voted with the liberals (except Kagan, it was complicated).
During this period of litigation, the law isn’t being enforced. DeSantis has or has not become president in the interim. Cops will keep being shitty regardless of what the law says. Also, I would expect Florida prosecutors to avoid any dubious applications of this law. It would be subject to a “facial” challenge immediately (e.g., the law is facially unconstitutional, no matter how it’s used). Any attempts to use it to execute drag queens would open up a whole series of as-applied first amendment-based challenges, and first amendment protections are robust, even under a conservative Supreme Court.
TLDR: This is performative bullshit. Don’t sleep on it, but don’t catastrophize either. Plenty of stress to go around.
… to play devil’s advocate, private citizens will take matters into their own hands, and we’ll see another increase in hate crimes against trans and everyone else who doesn’t meet the ‘cis, white, and male’ template during the entire process, because the republicans know they are losing, and have gone full nazi fascist in a last attempt to get and retain power.
And it’s always another foot in the door. It’s performative now because to do what they actually want is not socially permissible… yet.
But that’s what this culture war of theirs (and terfs) is about pushing the limits of. They already have a good chunk of conservatives and radfems who would celebrate the state executing drag queens and trans people. Republicans just gotta silence or drive out dissenters and get enough “but muh both sides” centrists on board, and then it’ll be open season.
I also want to point out that this is bad policy even if you just take it at face value as “only applies to actual child molesters who really do molest a child”. Because this would drive reporting rates down into the basement, and they are already not high.
CSA is a crime committed at home, not one done by strangers very often. It’s committed by people the child knows and loves and trusts. That’s how they manage to do it in the first place. And you can’t just eradicate the feelings of love and care by abuse. Children are tenaciously good at continuing to love their abusers. It’s already an under reported crime because the victims “don’t want to get [him] in trouble”. If “get in trouble” now means “get killed”? Or even if they THINK it means that? So much more reluctant to report it.
Which MEANS. Kids will spend years longer being abused because of this bill, even if it ends up getting thrown out, because kids will internalize “if I report it, my dad/brother/friend/cousin/etc will get killed and it’ll be my fault and that’ll make me an awful person and a murderer.” So. Not only is this clearly a step toward genocide, but it’s one that actively harms vulnerable children along the way.
Copying @thebookewyrme‘s addition into a new reblog, because it is an extremely important point to raise, but that green-on-white is horrendously difficult to read for those of us with vision problems:

Binge-watched The Sandman recently. I love the feeling of finding a new show to obsess and fangirl over.
(I have not read the comics but just the tv show alone shows how amazing it all is!!)
Welcome to:
My recommendations and favourite creators in the Avatar Tumblr fandom
We have a lot of great creators around here and as I've been seeing lots of people creating posts like these, I decided to make one myself.
𓆩 _____________________________ 𓆪
Let's begin with my favourite artists:
1. @nin3kyuu
Amazing art work, one of the first fan-arts I've seen around here. I've tried my best to keep up with their page ever since seeing their unique art style.
Ninekyuu is also one of the nicest people I've met around here. Super sweet and kind, very patient and just a great person overall.
Would love to write more with you, like a lot, but I get shy when I click on our dms so I dip. 😮💨
2. @whimsyvixen
Oh I just love their OC so incredibly much. Found their art on Twitter an been in love ever since.
Again, a very sweet and funny person!!
3. @kexdosee
They do an amazing job drawing Quaritch and especially Spider.
I was very excited finding someone appreciate Spider without seeing him as some annoying rat for what he has done.
The biggest fan of their long and curly haired Quaritch art. It was love at first sight when I saw it for the first time.
A very funny person, inspired me to make and send my own memes after seeing a bunch on their profile.
Ty pookie, I am now Tumblr famous (obviously not) thanks to your funny humor.
I'm also taking every opportunity to make fun of Lyle as much as possible just for you!! 🫡
OORAH!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
Favourite writers:
1. @tarrynightss aka. the rat
Least favorite rat.

AMAZING writings, I kid you not. Made me either cry or cross my legs while reading their godly ff's.
Love her Mansk and Quaritch fics, I absolutely go wild on them whenever I see new updates. Literally giggle and sway my legs in the air like a 13 year old waiting to get a message from her crush.
In general really really talented, an absolute sweetheart (I'm held at gunpoint) and funny person. Love talking to them, no matter what app it is, it's just very fun. 🥹
Told me to go back to my country. (Joke)
Ate my crayons 😐
She's a furry
2. @milknhonies
One of my absolute favorites. Came across their "Doctor stress relief" series and haven't been the same since.
Thanks to them I started taking an interest to the recoms and been an absolute mess ever since, tysm girl. 😭
Another very sweet and kind person to talk to! Has helped and supported me to write and publish my own stuff and it's been awesome ever since, I can't thank you enough. 🥹🙏
Hasn't posted much about Avatar (so do I think, please lmk asap if I'm wrong), but their 2 fics alone were great and fun to read!
Latina!reader grew on me so much and I love the idea a lot. Just adore how people are putting different kind of representation into their work, it just gives all of it so much more flavour.
Very very excited for future updates!!
Mutuals? 🥹🫶

————————————
You kept glancing back every now and again to ensure everyone was making the journey back to base safely.
This raid had been a scary one, with Neteyam and Lo'ak nearly getting themselves killed. You were glad they were alright, but it didn’t stop you from feeling a twinge of anger at their disobedience.
Eventually, you caught sight of High Camp. You and the war party soared underneath the mountain, where an opening could be seen. You glided up through it, seeing the small structures that your clan had built to reside in.
You whooped and hollered, letting everyone know that you and the others have made it back.
You landed and disconnected yourself from Moa. Kiri, Tuk, and Spider ran toward you. They all gave you a huge hug, happy to see you safe.
The tension was thick in the air as you went over to the others, where Jake was chewing out his sons.
“You’re supposed to be spotters. You spot bogies and you call them in. From a distance!”
You patted Moa on her neck as you looked on. Your sister lightly scolded Jake as his son was bleeding and now was not the time to reprimand them. A tiny smirk crossed your face but thankfully your brother-in-law didn’t catch it.
Jake then asked Kiri to go assist her grandmother with the wounded, and to take Tuk with her. Your adopted niece was more concerned for her brother at the moment, but Jake continued to press until she relented. With a roll of her eyes and a huff, she and Tuk went on their way.
You decided to go help them out, not wanting to see what tongue-lashing Jake has in store for Lo'ak.
————————————————————————-
You and the kids were with their grandmother while she healed Neteyam.
The banter between them was absolutely adorable. Kiri went back and forth with the others about what to use for wounds, causing you to giggle to yourself.
Outside the marui, you could hear Neytiri and Jake as they discussed Jake’s attitude towards Lo'ak. Your ears perked up as you heard Neytiri tell her husband not to be so hard on him.
You nodded your head absentmindly. Your sister was right. As much as you loved your brother-in-law and his love for your sister, he was much too harsh on your nephew. His past in the U.S. Marine Corps bled through quite often during these guerilla operations, something which you would never truly get used to. It was a reminder of how deadly the Sky People could be and their sheer determination for victory.
Shaking the unsettling thought out your head, you continued to listen to them. Jake voiced his concerns to his mate, worried for their future as a family.
You understand where the both of them were coming from. With the Sky People having returned to Pandora, the stakes were higher than ever once again. It was hard enough having to fight them off once but again? It had everyone hanging on by a thread at his point.
You looked over at the others as they continued to fuss at each other, and a sad smile pulled at the corners of your lips.
This family meant the world to you. Sure, there were times when you aggravated each other, but you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You will protect them from the Sky People.
No matter what it takes.

summary: As a human on Pandora, you are used to feeling like an outsider. You cannot bond with the flora and fauna the way the Na’vi can, but that doesn’t mean you can’t watch and admire. You’ve always been fascinated by the Na’vi and their ways of life, and the newness of the Metkayina is equally as captivating as everything else you’ve seen so far.
But there’s one thing that has really caught your attention in Awa’atlu. Or, perhaps more accurately, two things. And it seems like you've caught their attention right back
Awa’atlu is a wonder.
The white sand shores and bright turquoise ocean is reminiscent of a tropical paradise, and the way the Metkayina interact with the world around them is nothing short of beautiful. You watch it all in awe, appreciative and slightly envious by turn.

But there’s one thing that has really caught your attention in Awa’atlu. Or, perhaps more accurately, two things.
You had come to the ocean-side village alongside Norm to care for Kiri after she had suffered from her episode, and after the other humans had returned to their outpost among the Omaticaya, you had chosen to stay. Initially, your presence among the Metkayina was met with suspicion. As far as you’re aware, they’ve never actually encountered a human before. They watch you with sharp gazes and narrowed eyes, and maintain careful distance from you. You can’t blame them; you represent the people that have invaded their planet.
But over the few weeks that you’ve been living in the village, there are two particular gazes that weigh heavier than any other.
Tonowari and Ronal carry the responsibility for the whole clan on their shoulders, and you understand that your appearance sets them on edge. The way they watch you so closely is understandable, really.
But still. Their stares fluster you in a way that is absolutely mortifying.
