holy fuck

I saw a production and it was fascinating: that only describes the first and second acts, and then the third is set like a hundred years later when a bunch of half-remembered memes and plot summaries have coalesced into an allegorical oral tradition retelling the nuclear disaster that ended the world, with hints of dangerous schisms forming between fans of different interpretations of the story. It’s a story about how we find comfort in mundanity and ritual in times of catastrophe but then those rituals can overtake genuine coping mechanisms, which is a good message in these times but goddamn I cannot see Disney allowing any of this to be filmed intact

waow..

Liberalism is structurally incapable of grasping the imperialist nature of empire, because it exists to manage and legitimize it.

I honestly struggle to comprehend the sort of person who turns up to protests and willingly hugs the people they are protesting against.

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"

OP the tags!!

Very stupid that I can't take the muscles out of my neck & upper back & beat them with a meat tenderizer. I think that would fix me

I propose this year be Two thousand twenty FIX. this year we're fixing shit. If you got a problem fix it right away if you can. As soon as you notice even. Fix shit. Fix your leaky faucet. Clean your shower. Talk to your friends about that thing they do that makes you feel unloved. 202fix

this is the true gen z experience

once in my sixth hour we were talking about 9/11 and i announced very loudly “more people died in hurricane maria than in 9/11 but nobody really cares because you can’t use hurricanes to justify imperialism” and then not even 5 seconds later i said “yeehaw my beets.”

man and you were only six hours old

Your sixth most recent emoji is how your guardian angel feels about you

Turns out there's no combination of words you can put in a discussion of transfem eggs that doesn't summon the "Actually you should let them figure it out themselves with no support because I did not read what you said about understanding the person and meeting them where they're at, so I'm assuming that when you say 'cracking eggs' you mean with a hammer" person.

The concept of a transfem egg simply makes people temporarily illiterate.

carl sagan said in contact that one measure of a relationship's intimacy is in how many of each person's sub-personas can see and commune with each other. and that hit. do you wanna see if our inner children want to play together 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

AUGHHH

there is this thing called a "kitty cat". and you can get one for inside your home, and it will sit on all of your surfaces, and you can pet it.

can we please acknowledge that tma/tme is a meaningful distinction? a justice of the US supreme court is openly saying that it's legal to discriminate against trans women because the same laws do not target trans men. the transmisogyny is what makes it permissible. your transphobia is fine as long as it has carveouts for men.

Fascinating parallel here. This incapacity of the legal framework to protect groups who are at the intersection of two protected groups (trans women in this case, black women in the original) even while protecting both groups individually is the original reason for the word "intersectionality", which has since gone through the wringer.

There's no wider community for trans girls to divide when trans girls have already been pushed out of every other queer space.

if the idea of forcefem is dysphoria inducing, then stop searching the forcefem tag and looking at the forcefem blogs. just block and move on. sending hate mobs because you have a personal ick against something is absolutely clown behavior. and also a strategy straight from the lolcow/kiwifarm playbook

same kind of guy

i think if you type any equivalent of “theres a common public opinion that trans women are incapable of wrong” your phone should explode

Not many mra isms get to me but this one really, really, does. like i have no desire to form an eloquent response to this. pay attention to the news cycle and then go fuck yourselves

if theres one thing we can all agree on its that tgirls arent under enough scrutiny

obtuse is such a good word. Bro that was so thoughtless it's triangle
