Ugh this sucks so bad I’ve had to block three people this month because they’re sucking the dick of the Trail of Tears James Cameron movie

queer people on this site really make me feel like a confused straight guy at pride. the discourse here could kill a man

"why polyamorous people aren't valid" "mspec lesbians AREN'T okay actually" "aroallos are freaks" "he/him dni. cis men dni" "this post is for non-men only" yessss and the one with long hair goes in the girl box, then the one with short hair goes in the boy box!!

maybe I'm just a boring he/him white guy but inventing about 7 trillion terms to define "man" and "woman" so you can reinforce gender essentialism isn't very "love is love" of you. maybe i just don't have a sexuality but picking and choosing what sexualities are normal and which ones are "weird and predatory" sounds like we're all a bunch of republicans on fox news. if you attend your local pride parade and look REAAALLLYYY closely, you'll notice you can't actually tell if someone's gay or not from their appearance, and there's no way to know if they're "invading queer spaces". maybe it's just me, but when i attended my local gaybar last night for the drag show, they didn't ask for my gay-card with a peer reviewed diagnosis of faggot stamped on it. they just let me in the building. i live a life of bliss and luxury in not caring about any queer discourse ever, and just going "WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY :-)" while booting up the latest cod game. and it seems much more fun than whatever the fuck you people are on about

muting my notifs for this post but i need to acknowledge this first. My favorite tags fr 🙏

they weren't kidding when they said "nuclear blue"

We have exactly one Christmas tradition in my house, and it feels very important to share it. I've been a cat person basically forever and for most of my adult life, my house has had more cats than people in it. They've all liked sleeping under the Christmas tree and all that, but other than that, they always just sort of ignored it.

But in 2018, we got Natasha.

There are about a dozen pictures like that, but I always adopt adult cats, so we figured this just came with having a kitten in the house. She was just this tiny little fluff who still fit in my cupped hands despite being about six months old, so we put away the ornaments, shrugged it off, and took advantage of the opportunity to have a really cute Christmas card the next year.

Then, 2019 came around.

Natasha escalated to sleeping in the tree in between trying to eat all the branches, and honestly, it was too funny to make more than a cursory effort to stop her. My partner and I assumed that since she was still pretty tiny, she had more growing to do and would surely get to a point where her own body weight would keep her from doing this. In the meantime, we left the tree without ornaments that year and just called it good.

But then 2020 came around, forcing us to acknowledge that:

But hey. Who needs ornaments with a face like that poking out of the branches at you all the time?

Sure enough, 2021 Natasha also had zero chill about the tree, but at this point it would have been weirder if she did leave it alone.

I thought I had seen everything, but this year I'd been kind of down and my partner decided to surprise me by setting up the tree and stuff while I was at work. It was an incredibly sweet gesture considering they don't actually even like Christmas decorations. It also meant I got to come home to this.

I kept expecting her to fall out, but she just chilled there, surveying the room until she got bored. And yes, that is absolutely a big, fancy cat tree she's ignoring in favor of scaling the Christmas tree.

Two days before Christmas, she has finally gotten bored enough that I'm making my first attempt in ages to actually put up ornaments. At this point, I'm not sure if I'll be more disappointed if they have to come down or if they don't.

The tradition continues!

Can I... a starving orphan... who is homeless... alone and unloved... perhaps trouble you for one small fish from that bucket? Please? -pathetic cough and helpless look-

first attempt at rpf how did i do

never make ocs or else u will spend ur afternoon going crazy abt a woman who is not Real

my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.

Girl……

This is it! This is what social media/smart tech have done! They’ve rotted away any distinction between private and public.

Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.

I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?

Old woman yells at cloud and all that, but I can’t believe someone is not only admitting this behavior, but saying it’s a good thing! No one likes you! You’re a menace!

The Lonely continues to be, unwillingly, the most relatable fear

and The Beholding the one closest to my heart, one I would gladly be an avatar of

I've seen this idea several times now passed around that says the dynamic between trans women and trans men is identical to the dynamic between cis women and cis men because the "trans" factor cancels out to just leave women and men.

I just need to make this absolutely clear. Not only is this idea absurd on the face of it, there is no theoretical basis for this at all. It spits in the face of everything we base our understanding of oppression, transphobia, and misogyny on, and is especially a direct attack on the ideas of intersectionality.

This idea is self-serving prejudice/ignorance and nothing more.

shot in the HEAD. and you're to blame. You are not good. At dart game

One thing I absolutely despise about progressive and leftist politics is when you are talking about some issue in practical terms and some asshole comes in and says "We should be talking about this issue in terms of [insert purely theoretical moral argument here]".

For example, I don't give a shit if you secure food assistance by arguing it's economic benefits or if you are waxing poetic about the inherent dignity of man, all I care is that food assistance is secured so I can feed my daughter. And practical arguments work because they appeal to a far greater range of people. Insisting on using purely moral arguments reduces the chance of success.

It is astoundingly selfish behavior. Insisting on morally pure arguments harms the chance of progress for the sole purpose of stroking the individual's ego with a sense of self righteousness. It's the equivalent of conservatives quoting the bible to justify policy. In both cases the asshole is making an issue where real people suffer entirely about themselves and their personal belief of what is morally correct. Except honestly the leftist version is worse. At least many conservatives have a reason, however flawed, to believe their bible quote means something. It's not entirely an ego trip getting off on how righteous they are.
