Bitchin'

This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so

It’s very interesting, and I would find it hilarious if I weren’t so occupied being disturbed by how very exactly it sounds like parents upset about their kids transitioning.

there is so much of that through-line of what basically boils down to white woman tears though. “I’m not in charge of my child anymore and that makes me really sad” almost as if being cast in the social role/identity box of Mom Of All Time can be detrimental to one’s mental health and can produce some exquisitely deranged behavior, especially when your child rejects that kind of box

Maybe I can convince y'all to act right by framing things in terms of social engineering. People will be a whole lot more likely to do whatever shit you're trying to hector them into doing if you're not constantly being a dick the whole time. Being niceys is a powerful social engineering tool such as all of the times I have maliciously manipulated people into fulfilling my whims using an evil sociopathic manipulation technique i like to call "asking nice and then saying thanks after"

the rainbow is a well-known symbol of gay pride that originated in the late 1970s in san francisco, when the gay community promised to never again destroy the earth by flood

I also love that Ohm attempts suicide, is unsuccessful, and is immediately put in a situation where he has to actively fight for his life

I should be doing more to appreciate the lack of marvel movies in today's popular culture. I once yearned for marvel movies to have this level of irrelevance. They used to feel almost ozymandian, like an empire that had no beginning and no end. and now tony stark iron man is naught but two vast and trunkless legs of stone.

At one point in film school my professor tried to legally rent a movie to show us and even though she had paid money, it wasn't working. So she went "I'm going to turn around and one of you will find the movie somehow".

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

This is why I hate it when people say something homophobic and then go “so you’re really accusing me, a whole ass lesbian, of being homophobic 🙄” like yeah

hey bestie i think ur post might be charmed 'cause you aren't gonna fuckin believe what happened today
