Radical Transgender Hedonism

not all topping in kink is domming. not all bottoming in kink is subbing. you can get hit, tied up, pissed on, hypnotised, and so on without it being a submissive act. this is why top/bottom is used in kink as well as in gay sex. being a top (sex) is not the same as being a domme is not the same as being a top (kink). yes, it's confusing. the terms top and bottom have been used in kink historically too. they've been used like that in kink at least as long as this thing has been doing kink. it would be curious which came first, because it thinks it wouldn't be surprised to learn the terms came from kink and not gay culture.

part of the fun of the original alien is the horror of the nostromo itself imo. it’s a cell of corporate greed ferrying narrowly-trained workers across barren space. it’s huge and yet claustrophobic, cockpits crammed with machinery giving way to yawning berths dripping chains and water. the supercomputer is named mother in a stroke of human anthropomorphization, but instead of providing comfort or protection, it’s only a courier between its creator and its wailing brood. ripley yells “mother! mother!” at a matronly-voiced computer that speaks calmly over her helplessness. the ship is full of endless details and patterns and unlabeled buttons and dials the audience can’t entirely make sense of; to do anything on the ship is a rigorous, technical process, and we must depend on the characters to know it. the internal mechanics of the ship are so alien that a literal alien can hide among the bits and bobs and not be noticed. it’s great.

Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.
