Spring comes quickly: overnight the plum tree blossoms, the warm air fills with bird calls.

In the plowed dirt, someone has drawn a picture of the sun with rays coming out all around but because the background is dirt, the sun is black. There is no signature.

Alas, very soon everything will disappear: the bird calls, the delicate blossoms. In the end, even the earth itself will follow the artist’s name into oblivion.

Nevertheless, the artist intends a mood of celebration.

There are countless radfem and T(W)ERF blogs that I’ve blocked that said ‘secret radfem sideblog’ in the description.

Ace/aro exclusionism

Bi exclusionism or claims that bi people are “less queer” bc of “straight passive privilege”

Saying you have to be dysphoric to identify as trans

Invalidating nonbinary people

Calling queer a slur regardless of context, saying people can’t identify as queer, and saying that it can’t be reclaimed

“Mogai hell”, “kweer”, or otherwise mocking less common labels and claiming they are “just cishets who want to feel special”

Excluding sex workers from feminist discussions or claiming that sex work is inherently evil

Men are evil

Women are pure

Black and white framing

Talking about separating the communities

Only this group can use these words

Lesbians are better than bi women

Straight women deserve/should not be surprised if they get abused

Panphobia

Think of the children

Anti kink

Apparently, some people were bringing up some issues regarding the departments overall treatment of marginalized actors, valid issues for the most part. But one of the points that was brought up was about the last show I was in before I moved, and the role I was given in that show.

During auditions, I did not read for the role I ended up getting, but apparently, all the people who did read for that role were women. So there was a complaint that it was misogynistic of them to read women for this role and then cast a man, depriving a woman of the role. (Of course, there was no mention of the transphobia in casting a trans man in a role they were only considering women for)

This is coming from the same department that advised me not to bother auditioning for a show because "all of the male roles really are men's roles".
