Surprises are Culturally Normalized Violence

We are all intentional beings, we must exercise our agency to feel empowered in our own lives and to actualize our truest sense of self.

As intentional beings, when we meet each other out in the world, we must respect that we are co-creating this life by respecting each others choice and freedom to do as we will. To, by word or action, disallow or invalidate the choice of another being is to do violence to them.

When we plan a surprise for someone, we remove their ability to choose. We can get lost in our own feelings about the surprise, the look on their face when, how meaningful we think the gift will be to them (our to our self), thinking they will love this.

You may have no idea what traumas someone has or what triggers lie undiscovered, they may not even know themselves. You have no idea what landmines you may step on that will hurt them, which is probably not what you intend.

As a culture in the West, we normalize being grateful for gifts, being grateful for someone expending resources on your behalf, especially if you didn't ask for it. Your choice is removed by surprises because you were never even given the chance to say no, or even yes!

Spoil the surprise. 💬 Always ask if someone would like you to get them that thing or plan a special event for their occasion. Don't assume, a surprise is never about you, it's about the person you may hurt. 💌

Finnish Member of the European Parliament and Basic Finn (true finn) Nazi Sebastian Tynkkynen is tweeting about how fun it will be once the land mines are approved again and “woke green-leftists berry pickers with gender pronouns” start walking into mines in the woods.

Nothing to see here, just a regular day with finnish fascists fantasising about violence against queer people. #finland #fascism #politics #farRight #farRightViolence #violence #violenceFantasies

"A Walmart employee named Dani Davis was accosted and threatened by a transphobic customer during her shift, and she was subsequently fired because of it. The customer followed her into the bathroom and accused her of being a man and yelled transphobic slurs at her. Days after she reported the incident to her supervisor, she was fired because she supposedly posed a “security risk” to others in the store. In this video we’ll talk about this disturbing story and discuss how transphobia harms -all- women; both trans and cis alike."—

ON SUNDAY, dozens of #migrant #workers in #Taipei gathered at the city’s central train station
to protest gender violence against migrant women
as well as raise awareness about the plight of Palestinian women and children through a flash mob performance.
This was in celebration of

an annual campaign against rape and #gender #violence held in 60 countries worldwide.
The name comes from a statistic that within their lifetime,
at least one in three women across the world will have encountered gender violence, which totals to around one billion people.
