the sex binary is socially constructed and not actually descriptive of any biological truth. you know that, right? it's important to me that you know that

i know people can be a little overzealous in describing political backslides ("this used to be the feminism website!!!" etc.) but it's disturbing to me how much incredulity i've gotten from other trans people as of late just for, like, saying that "biological woman" is neither a real category nor a phrase that should ever leave your mouth uncritically

This might come as a surprise for those who use the internet as their primary outlet for queerness but some people are online to do their jobs and don't want to be out at work.

The more of an audience someone has, the more understandable it gets if they share absolutely nothing about their personal life, queer identity included. "You should experiment with new pronouns and see how you like it" is a sensible suggestion to make in a situation where you're surrounded by people who either don't care or can be trusted to be supportive, but if you've got a six-digit number of capricious strangers screenshotting everything you say in public, you quickly learn that vulnerability and openness has a cost to it.

i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.

if youre in the US (especially the northeast + michigan) i would avoid bagged salads/greens and generally wash your produce very thoroughly unless you want the diarrhea parasite

People really need to take a wider view of this paranoia about age gaps and realise this is how we lose the ability to build communities. You need to be able to realise that people can have things in common with you even if they grew up in a different time/place/culture. You also need to realise you can build communities with people who don’t have obvious things in common with you, that people can have the same goals and needs as you even if in most ways they’re very unlike you. Now, more than ever, we need to be able to work together to have any chance to stand ip against the few who have so, so much more power, money and influence than any of us do individually. We need to form communities that reach across age (and class and race and sexuality and so on…).

people debate about whether wojaks carry fascism within them inherently or not, and yknow, maybe there's something to be said about how symbols work etc, and then you see a communist make a meme that features the one that's drooling with a dent in his head to represent someone who is incorrect, and you just kind of take a pause and ask yourself what the fuck is wrong with everybody
