as a smoker one of the fastest way i dissuade people from smoking is i go you know how your headaches suck. imagine a permanent headache that slowly gets more and more expensive to cure and also you cant stop coughing in the middle of all of this. yeah? this sucks.

i have said this before but end stage liver failure did not dissuade me from starting opiates. what dissuaded me was someone telling me "do you want to be itchy for the rest of your life? this is how you be itchy for the rest of your life."

people in the tags keep bringing things that are terminal, and i need you to understand some thing critical here. people do not conceptualise what they've not experienced properly and the 'inconvenient' side-effects come faster, and are far more likely than the Big Scary Ones. "dont start cocaine because your liver will fail" -- means nothing to me, have never experienced liver failure, also it takes forever for me to get to that stage. "do you want to know what cocaine shits are" -- paying attention, do not alter my shits habits.

glad that much of the conversation I've seen on here about Renee Good contextualizes her death within the rampant killing of people (especially Black, immigrant, and indigenous people) by ICE, police, and other armed actors of the state going back literally the entire existence of the US, with particular attention to the very recent deaths that were less reported due to a combination of being racialized victims and not having clear footage that fascists could circulate as titillating snuff film propaganda.

surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention that Renee Good is a lesbian, or that her butch partner was present during the murder, and the role that gender is playing in this particular moment of rallying the far right. it took me until a couple days ago to even learn that, actually, or that fascists are using AI to 'undress' Good in order to symbolically use her body as a sex object--creating a public show of the "bitch" forcibly brought back into patriarchy through death and sexual violence.

the racial and gendered politics of why her killing is hypervisible in the news cycle are deeply interrelated, imo. the white nationalist project that seeks the simultaneous expulsion and torture of racialized subjects is the very same whose anxieties around "white birth rates" has animated legislation to escalate the restriction of healthcare that impacts sexed characteristics (abortion, gender affirming care, puberty blockers, etc) and target populations acting against sexgender assignment.

lesbianism among those assigned female at birth has largely been assimilated within the cisgender class for the last 50 years or so (excepting those of us who outright reject assignment and/or pursue the medical changing of sexed traits, who are still transsexualized), but imo what we're seeing is that, within this far right movement that is obsessed with controlling birth within patriarchal marriage, a cis lesbian's death can stand in for a larger propaganda of the rightful punishment for the rejection of sex assignment (which is implicitly understood to threaten the white nationalist project).

Americans being surprised by America acting like America is so American.

people saying that being trans is a white only thing is very strange to me because i remember when i was a kid people acted like it was pretty much only black people and thai people who were trans. obvsiouly both of those things are based in racism and transmisogyny but the rapid shift is strange

I had to bring these out of the tags because the last 2 tags especially!!!! ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼

I can't say no to Mocha when she does this

it is hilarious to me that cishet men have yet to notice the ‘best friend cockblocking her friend you’re chatting up in a public place’ thing is planned, consensual on the part of the girl you’re uncomfortably hitting on and not a result of the bestie being jealous her friend is getting more male attention. they’re completely oblivious to the hostage eyes and silent nod to someone in the background because they’re too busy telling that poor girl about what a bitch their ex was.

They're not oblivious honestly

there's this phenomenon i've noticed on youtube which i dub "man math" which is when men STEM-ify hobbies/activities/art forms in order to make them more masculine. it's very noticeable in the cooking video sphere where there's an endless stream of videos made by men along the lines of "the SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN best way to cook an egg" (and dgmw, i watch them and find them helpful, but the observation stands), but i notice it also in the way men approach ceramics (a lot of focus on mold-making and slip-casting to perfection, basically reinventing one man mass-production rather than play and discovery), tailoring/sewing/knitting/textile art, gardening and other nature-oriented hobbies, interior decor, furniture making and woodworking, journaling/planning/productivity, even drawing and painting, there's always some man math angle to it that although interesting it often strikes me as some sort of overcompensation to move away from the inherent vulnerability that comes with art making and once you notice it it's literally everywhere

why is this framed all cutesy??

ohhhhhhhhh

One of those goofy maid animes, except the viewpoint character isn't the hapless master or mistress of the house, but a regular-ass janitor who ended up on this crew due to a paperwork mixup at the temp agency and can't figure out what the fuck is wrong with her co-workers.
