This is like sociopathic levels of trying to avoid accountability while trying to get back at the guy who exposed you. Like mother fucker this isn’t the 1800s you can’t just wander into the next town with a new name anymore.
but on a more serious note, i'm thinking Heavily about the sockpuppet line he had about the plagiarism
so what? 10 years or not enough views and it's free takesies for any ideas?
just this perfect isolation of what hbomb was saying about how plagiarists see the people they're stealing from- that they don't respect them, that it'd all be better coming from their mouth.
and also how he sees his audience- all paying attention only to him and what he says, with no curiosity to go look for other creators.
it genuinely is just this distillation of him using other people's work to prop up himself for views.
and like look this shit was insulting even before i specifically did go through the logs of people that were stolen from- to read their works myself.
The people he stole from are people telling their own personal stories. people who are telling stories about things that they love deeply. people who are telling the stories of the communities they belong to and love- communities that are still sidelined and marginalized.
and he just continues to slap queer creators in the face while claiming to be The Authority on queer media
james somerton truly fascinates me. like the absolute gall of hornyposting on an alt while half the internet thinks you killed yourself is already startling but posting your whole ass, dick and balls to your PUBLIC undercover twitter account which has the SAME EXACT @ as your PUBLIC undercover tiktok account which HAS YOUR FACE ON IT.... like. you cant fucking tell me he genuinely didnt expect people to find that.
then again he also genuinely didnt expect people to find his brazen plagiarism so. what do i know. maybe he is genuinely that dumb.
Existential despair is so common in a person's twenties, I think, because up until that point, we've had a pretty clear road map for what's expected of us and we haven't had much reason to question that map. There are still a few milestones outlined for us (start a career, get married, make babies) but more and more young people are entering the post-school world and realizing:
A) that career thing just isn't happening like they said it would
B) I'm not ready to get married/I don't want to get married/marriage isn't the sort of life-altering event that it used to be
C) I'm not ready to make babies/I don't want a baby/I can't afford to raise children right now (see point A)
And in the absence of these milestones to shoot for (which one could argue weren't the promise of fulfillment they claimed to be in the first place), what we're left with is this aimless abyss of "the rest of our lives" sprawling out ahead of us with no indication of how it will go or what we should be doing to shape it. Young people start their first jobs, find they hate them, and think to themselves, "Is this it? Am I just supposed to do this job until I'm too old to do it or die first?"
Which is, yeah, really fucking depressing!! So here's my best attempt at an alternate roadmap for young people that don't vibe with the old model. Please feel free to add in your own suggestions!
On today’s episode of “The Alectopause is Slowly Driving Me to Insanity”
I had the genuine, only partially joking, thought today: “what if the strangely numerous amount of worm references and metaphors are leading up to a ‘would you still love me if I was a worm’ joke”
Don't you dare leave this in the tags, @chaos-has-theories !
#and on a spiritual level I think nona is 'would you still love me if I was a worm'#she can't take care of herself#she's not useful#but they love her#they would love her no matter who or what she turned out to be#and isn't that unconditional love the heart of the question#maybe the worm with problems was the worm we still loved all along#the locked tomb#ntn spoilers#nona the ninth

Screw terfs n all but are you normal about transgirls who don't want to medically transition? Are you normal about transguys with boobs who don't wear binders? Are you normal about the trans people who only want to socially transition because that's what's right for them? Are you normal about the transgirls with beards? Are you normal about the transguys who love their curves? Screw terfs, but are you normal about trans people?
Screw terfs, but do you prioritize the love and safety and comfort of trans people over spiting a terf?
First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this
Fucking this.
you arent going to be capable of any meaningful kind of solidarity with anyone if your response to new perspectives or information is to pretend you already knew.
if you cant say things like “i hadnt thought about it that way” or “thats a good point” (or even, god forbid “thanks for checking me on that”) when theyre appropriate, consider whether youre actually interested in developing your understanding or if youre just invested in your political self image.
i also suggest "give me a minute to think about that." a lot of new perspectives and ideas are going to need some time to sink in before you form your own thoughts, especially if you find yourself becoming defensive and need time to let that fade.

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts
over on my post about Taylor Swift's enduring heterosexuality there's been a recent rash of people in the tags saying something to the effect of "obviously Taylor Swift is straight, no queer woman would date Matty Healy." which is frustrating, because white bisexual women date little shithead racist men all the time. having a racist boyfriend doesn't mean someone isn't really bisexual, it means that being queer doesn't prevent you from being racist. the thing that makes Taylor Swift straight is that she's straight, not that she's dated objectionable men.
