Sumikko Gurashi - Tokage and Mom

(In Sumikko Gurashi, Tokage - who is a baby Loch Ness monster - has gotten separated from his mom. He often dreams about his mother like this. He pretends to be just an ordinary lizard (Tokage) because he doesn't want to scare others.)

It's actually not because he's afraid of scaring people (that would be Obake, the ghost who doesn't like to scare others). Tokage disguises himself because as the last of the dinosaurs, he's afraid of being captured :(

We went from "#freethenipple" to "gay Internet communists will call you a pervert for admitting you sometimes jack off" in the space of like 3 years

Being misunderstood and under-appreciated by the fandom

Most corporate social media accounts use memes to try and appear hip with the kids so they’ll buy their product but the Sparknotes twitter account is clearly just run by a literature geek who was told they could make memes about old books and is having the time of their life doing just that

TERFs do not believe in consent, they believe that there are good choices and bad choices; if a woman does something they consider "bad" even if it literally harms no one, then she was forced into it by patriarchy; if she says that she likes it, she was brainwashed into thinking she likes it, deep down she hates it; only the "good" choices are made freely and with full consent

The bad choices can be anything from wanting to be homemaker, engaging in kink, wearing femme clothing, being promiscuous, getting unnecessary cosmetic surgery, having sex with men, etc, etc

This btw extends to trans men, who they believe to be self-hating women; but not to trans women who they believe to be evil men out to rape women

Weird how transphobia and racism keep showing up at the same parties together.

"You can't object to drag without being called homophobic & conservative these days!!!" that's because objecting to drag is homophobic & conservative lmao

I hate correcting customers who call me ma'am and miss and honey over the phone, because only about 30 percent of the time do they apologize and start calling me sir, while 70 percent of the time they double down assuming I was trans and continue misgendering me on purpose to show how little respect they have for me as a human being. "Thank you, MISS."

I'm a cis man, for the record.

Whenever I correct someone and they keep it up, I simply refuse service. "Oh, I'm sorry, we're completeley booked up the day you wanted. Yeah, no, we're booked up on your backup dates too. Looks like our next opening isn't until, hmm, mid-November. Oh, but it doesn't have enough beds for your party. We could probably fit you in around New Years, but you'd have to change rooms every day. You might wanna try [more expensive motel] a few blocks north of us, they might have vacancies. Have a good day."

I've been able to dodge what few complaints we've gotten so far because they all tell my boss that they just spoke to a very nasty woman, and she has no idea who they're talking about. "You must have dialed the wrong number, because I'm the only woman here, and I didn't talk to you." That PISSES THEM OFF, and she doesn't understand why they respond with "well we've been staying there for years, but we're never coming back." They think she's protecting me, an afab trans man, and are disgusted by it, but from her perspective they're just crazy people who are complaining about made up bullshit; it doesn't even cross her mind that they're talking about me. Why would it?

My boss is like 70 or 75, and was a Republican until 2016. It's never come up in conversation, but something tells me she wouldn't exactly be a trans ally. I'm in a weird position here, and it's hilarious.
