tbh the fact that cats purr was an unnecessary bonus we don't always acknowledge. they're already cute and baby and little and soft and make silly noises and do funny shit. but they also like to cuddle and make a soothing pleasant noise to indicate they are happy when they cuddle you? huge. huge for the human race.

[ begin id: a screenshot of three tweets by Ana Mardoll @/AnaMardoll. The first tweet reads “If it weren’t for racism and misogyny, we’d view Marie Kondo the way we view Mister Rogers and Bob Ross.” The second tweet reads “She THANKS THE HOUSE, you look me in the eye and tell me Rogers and Ross wouldn’t love that shit right there. They’d think she was awesome.” The third tweet reads ““Thank you for your service”, said to a t-shirt, is this generations “happy little trees”.”   / end id ]

Mr Rogers would have had her on his show and they would have sorted his cardigan collection together.

There’s a simple reason, of course, why we’re seeing so many otherwise privileged Queer atheists and anti-theists engaging in ideological evangelical conservatism. It’s because they were only ever interested in shaking off the aspects of Christian hegemony and white supremacy that negatively impacted them.

Western society is rapidly becoming far more accepting of Queer people and atheists, and the only real pushback against that acceptance is coming from conservative Christian communities. So what do you do to maximize your social standing as an otherwise privileged Queer person? You cut ties with conservative Christianity, but only expel from your own worldview what is personally hateful to you. Cut out the homophobia, but continue to otherwise profit from a Christian society based on a Christian culture that perpetuates Christian moral structures, practices, and values.

The reason we see so many Queer culturally Christian atheists fail to deconstruct Christian world views is because they’re actively benefiting from the structures of Christian privilege. They’ve already exorcised the parts of the ideology that were harming them. Why would they want to destroy the social structures that nearly perfectly reward them?

Antisemitism, purity politics, moral superiority and righteousness all actively improve their standing in society. They aren’t going away any time soon, they just needed to be rebranded in order to incur maximum effectiveness for themselves.

Don't you mean classist Typo, as in discriminating against poor people, and not classicist, the type of academic who studies antiquity in southern Europe?

Wait.  Wait.

Wait.

I know that telephone pole.

I know that telephone pole intimately because I’m the one who broke it.

Thats the pole next to Sycamore Jr. High, in between the jr high school and Pipkins, where I had my second car accident.  A woman t-boned my car and drove me into that pole in 2008 and it took them years to actually take it down.

That black metal pole you see just beyond the broken phone pole is a “Now Leaving/Welcome To Blue Ash, Ohio” sign, visible at 5520 Cooper Road on google maps.

(the flag is there, btw, because its the starting point for the Blue Ash/Montgomery July 4th parade.)

The internet is so staggeringly immense that I can’t help but be disproportionately delighted when things like this happen.

I love you "boring" female characters. I love you ingenues. I love you female characters who aren't "modern" enough. I love you female characters who aren't "badass" enough. iI love you female characters who aren't "empowering" enough. I love you quiet female characters. I love you unappreciated female characters. I love you polite female characters. I love you female characters who "can't appeal to modern audiences." I love you frightened female characters. I love you female characters labeled as not complex just for being nice. I love you female characters who get criticism just for not being their tomboy or femme fatale counterpart. I love you silk hiding steel trope.

This isn't Instagram, my darlings. It's not considered creepy (except by people imported from Instagram and frankly they need to learn the culture HERE before trying to boss anyone around) or weird or particularly distressing. Many of us don't even look at our notifications to realize that you've done it.

And frankly, I put that on my blog to bring me some joy. If it brings you joy too, put it on your blog along with the next fifty posts in the same theme. (If you're reblogging my fics, thank you, I love you 3000.)
