The chill that never left your spine

People that benefit from imperialism really seem to be allergic to acknowledging that they benefit from imperialism. For a strange reason.

I love the word "beeline." youre in such a hurry youre doing bug movement

Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

One thing i keep noticing is that trans women will talk about the ways that men treat us, and someone on tumblr will jump in and like... assume that we're not including trans men in that for some reason? Like it's just interesting how over and over trans women will understand that yes, obviously trans men are men. We're not denoting a separate category in our mind. And then trans men will jump in and assume we're being transphobic because we said shit like "Yeah I hate men" and they think "Obviously that doesn't include trans men!" No, no, it definitely does include you. You are men. When we talk about men feeling entitled to attention, when we talk about men being misogynistic and trans misogynistic, you aren't secretly exempted from our ire.

in the tradition of outcast (2014), dragon blade (2015), and the great wall (2016), we need a movie set in the 1630s where a disillusioned member of the embroidered uniform guard and a profit-driven jianghu mercenary flee the corrupt and crumbling ming dynasty and somehow end up in the equally corrupt city of cologne, where they become key players in the fight against the sinister forces of cardinal richelieu and eventually secure the peace of westphalia and the end of the thirty years’ war. this is a million dollar idea i’m telling you

i really do love this concept. the protagonist is like i’m sick of dealing with wei zhongxian’s shit, i’m gonna go someplace where people are holy and don’t even know how to act like this (the impression of europe he got from the jesuit missionary he had a tactical lunch with once), and so he travels 5000 miles and as soon as he stops to catch his breath he runs into cardinal fucking richelieu, the european wei zhongxian

Tumblr banned porn to appeal to advertisers only to exclusively host ads for links you wouldn't touch even while wearing full PPE

"why don't trans women do any domestic labor" is right up there with "why do trans women never date each other" in terms of questions that show that you know nothing about trans women. except in this case the idea that trans women don't do domestic labor is instrumental in maintaining the social hierarchy that keeps trans women doing domestic labor. the idea that trans women are male-socialized and therefore predisposed to exploit the domestic labor of people who are female-socialized keeps trans women in the insecure position of having to prove themselves by taking on historically feminine domestic roles. the reification of economic feminist analysis into biological/socially-essential categories presents the perfect opportunity for tme partners & roommates to benefit from exactly the type of economic exploitation being criticized.

the “why are so many yuri manga set at an age of intense self-discovery and change? Are they pedophiles??” discourse you see pop up every now and again is unbearable.
