what do you guys think is the best f/f queerbait of all time. its hard because doing generationally good queerbaiting requires writing two characters with enough quality and quantity of interactions to have a gay thing simmering under the surface, and it's rare for anything to actually do that with two women. i feel like a lot of it is probably gonna be in some boring ass network tv thats not even worth watching for that but im curious to hear peoples takes on the subject.

anti drm for sure but pro digital media always and forever you're never gonna convince me that having as many books as i want on a device small enough to hold in one hand where i can adjust the text size, font, and contrast at will is somehow a downgrade from anything. there's nothing inherently better about physical media it's entirely a matter of preference.

TME people sure do love very confidently asserting that a space/person/whatever is really accommodating and accepting based entirely on their own experiences as someone who is not a trans woman.

"I've never experienced any trouble for being trans at this lesbian bar so you should be fine" oh boy I wonder what the difference between the two of us here is! surely it couldn't be anything important

actually its called hausu md

once you realize that the political ad cliche of "[opposing candidate] has never run a business... and yet they want to run a whole city???" is code for "people who aren't part of the bourgeoisie shouldn't be permitted to hold office" you never stop seeing it.

frankly any attempt to argue for it's gender neutrality goes out the window when you actively choose to condescendingly refer to a trans woman as "mate". that was an active and conscious decision on your part and you fucking well know why you made it.

anyone who insists "mate" is gender neutral in Australia has not heard the tone of voice of someone calling you "mate" knowing you're a tranny.

i mean this completely seriously by the way. it's genuinely one of the most aggressive words someone can use to let you know just how much they've clocked you and want you gone

like generally it's used by men between men. so getting called "mate" by a guy is misgendering u. but the thing is getting called "mate" by a girl is ALSO usually misgendering, and the term is explicitly being used to hurt you by saying you're a man. so it's a great time all around really :/

one of the main notes about how australia is constantly trying to lower the criminal age of responsibility: if you've lived around non-black people in australia, you'll almost certainly hear multiple stories of them being let off the hook for a crime they did as a minor, being given only a warning at the cop's discretion. you'll rarely hear the same story from Black or Aboriginal people, because it's not a grace that they are afforded. the policies around the criminal age of responsibility are certainly anti-youth, but they're first and foremost anti-black policies designed to give the police more power to colonise by convicting Aboriginal kids. it's obvious why the discourse on the news is always focused on youth crime in rural australia, where there are greater proportions of Aboriginal people

Reading hitchikers guide for the first time was really funny because it was like ohhhh THIS the writing that every unfunny nerd has been trying to emulate from like ‘00-‘12 . But good.

i’d say “sorry for swinging a bat at the hornet’s nest,” but i’m not, actually! it’s been almost five years since harrow the ninth was released, and i STILL see people insist that harrow isn’t schizophrenic; she’s just being haunted. fandom takes representation of an intensely stigmatized mental illness (that the author candidly says she has!) and ignores it!!!

maybe its because im an asylum seeker but i am of the opinion that even if immigrants and asylum seekers contributed nothing to a nation that nation should not have the right to deport them.

"oh now no-one will do these jobs," well i think its bad that we take advantage of immigrants and asylum seekers' desperation to force them into exploitative jobs that the ordinary citizen is entirely unwilling to put up with.
