the fundamental tension between wanting to dissociate modes of dress from gender and people wanting to use modes of dress to signify their gender so they don't have to play the Pronoun Game

There was a trans girl I used to follow on tumblr, who I think is no longer here but might have just changed her name and I lost track

who commented on how it was easier to pass in Utah than it was in San Francisco. In Utah people were like "wearing a dress, has earrings, must be a girl, check!" Whereas in SF people would pass her on the street and say "hey man, nice dress!"

Are you people seriously implying Utah is better than California for trans women

literally any upper middle class tiktok self-identified ‘that girl’ in a pastel workout set with a thirteen step skincare routine and a green juice is a million times closer to being patrick bateman irl than any self-identified sigma film bro

Not expalining WHY bookburning is bad and WHAT books were targeted has left us with Bookworm uwu girlies treating any art project or act involving destorying/modifying any random ass mass printed novel as if it was a crime against humanity

We literally had this at the eco squat I used to live at. People would donate stuff to us all the time and on one occasion it was trash novels. We were low on wood that winter and started burning them, and one of the older guys got up in arms about "burning books" and where that would lead us.

If you don’t learn the context and reasoning behind your politics, you risk that it will degenerate into some kind of half formed religion where you have a series of commandments and taboos that you don’t understand.

[…] When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either a) anxiety about their attempts not being “good enough” or b) confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness. In fact, procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well.

I’ve been yelling this for years

“I don’t ever want to have kids.”

Normal human response: Ok.

Freaks: But what if you change your mind oh that will change you’re hard-wired to want to procreate who will take care of you when you’re dying you’ll never be fulfilled if you aren’t a parent good luck being miserable when you’re old

“I want to have kids someday.”

Normal human response: Ok.

Freaks: Well I hate children you’re going to hate your life later if I ever get pregnant I’m getting a triple-abortion just to make sure it’s really gone if a child was here right now I’d drop-kick them good luck being miserable for eighteen years

honestly advertising is so fukcing wasteful not even just in the convincing you to buy shit you never actually wanted but like

how much electricity is wasted displaying ads that could've gone to keeping houses warm. How much paper is produced just to be turned into pamphlets and ads that will just be thrown away. how much internet bandwith is wasted just on the amount of ads that are on the internet nowadays. How many hours worth of labor went into producing ads that are going directly into my adblocker or my waste bin that could've been time spent doing literally ANYTHING useful?

my traditional liveried english butler who lives in my apartment and works for free (its a fetish for him): "does sir wish to have her baconator and nuggets now?"

I'd like to make it very clear that the butler and I are not in a sexual relationship. I know he's a freak but he works for free, so he can cream his pantaloons all he wants.
