And this is just what I have to deal with every single day and everyone expects me to pretend this is at all acceptable or thinks im exaggerating the racialized nature of the harrasment.

still up btw

they've hit the same transfem 6 times today but this is still up

still up btw.

you know what i'm gonna say, don't you?

Antiblackness is global and sometimes I forget exactly how true that is until I see the extent to which non-Black racialized folks cross the globe are willing to do anything to launder/sweep their antiblackness under the rug instead of addressing it.

the way ozempic has finally made the fact that eating healthy and exercising doesn't necessarily make you thin well known and society's reaction to this is not "oh i guess being thin or fat doesn't actually show if you're healthy" but "oh i guess everyone should be on this drug"

I hate that this is infact how ozempic is viewed now because I watched, in real time, how my mothers diabetes got significantly better on ozempic, she didn't start it for weight loss, infact she started it before it even got big for weight loss, but all people can talk about is the weight loss on ozempic and not how good it is as a diabetes medication. Watching my mom find energy and happiness because for once a drug wasn't making her lethargic and miserable was wonderful, she was able to feel better, but then it was spouted as this miracle weight loss drug, and suddenly she just couldn't access it anymore at a good price. Not only has the ozempidemic made fatphobia normal in an already fatphobic society but it's making it harder to access for people who genuinely need it because it's seen as a luxury cosmetic drug.

"cigarette" implies the existence of a much larger "cigar"

Young people don’t know when I joined this website a decade and a half ago we used to have to walk to the post button and back and it was uphill both ways

"put it in the book" my brother in christ the pages are glued in there with all the others

wtf is this discourse

The votes on this post. Oh. A poem in poll form, interactive art, the fact we can see how the other people reading it felt. im. this is really good.

suggestion! When writing a fic set in the USA before, say, 2015, with same-sex marriage, maybe look up when that was legalized in that place. Because as a middle aged person, the presumption that these boys can get casually stroll in and get married throws me right out of a story.

I would love to unclench my jaw one day

Kid today (probably like 6 years) came up to me and was like "teacher teacher what's your name" and i was like "asha :) also im not a teacher" and he was like "okay asha asha asha I need help" and i was like "okay buddy what's wrong" and he showed me this chunk of metal he'd found sitting in the sun that he was just carrying around and it was super sharp and super hot from the sun and he was like "my hand hurts :(" and i was like "ok. put that down. does it still hurt?" And he did and was like "no." and then he picked it up again and immediately went "my hand hurts :(" again and then I was like "kid. put that down and stop touching it" and he was like "ok but when I touch it my hand hurts :(" and i was like "Please Just Stop Touching That. If you dont touch it your hand won't hurt" and this went on for like another 2 minutes before i got him to realize that if he stopped touching the metal it would not hurt. Kids are so fucking weird man

Want to clarify that OP isn't exaggerating when they say Nazi. Like the actual Nazis from 1939. The German Nazis. Those Nazis.
