bell hooks mentioned going through a time in her life where she was severely depressed and suicidal and how the only way she got through it was through changing her environment: She surrounded her home with buddhas of all colors, Audre Lorde’s A Litany for Survival facing her as she wakes up, and filling the space she saw everyday with reinforcing objects and meaningful books. She asks herself each day, “What are you going to do today to resist domination?” I also really liked it when she said that in order to move from pain to power, it is crucial to engage in “an active rewriting of our lives.”
I have come to think of the suicidal impulse as the brain waving a flag to say three things:
something needs to change here
this is urgent
I don’t know how to do it
death is the ultimate metaphor for drastic change. it’s a general specific. whatever your problems are, it is very likely that dead people don’t have to deal with them. a real solution to your problems may demand a very narrow range of action that’s likely to be out of reach at this moment, but death is sold on every street corner, so it feels like a more realistic fantasy than happiness.
you don’t really want to die per se but it’s also not completely random chemicals swamping your brain for no reason. you want the pain to stop, you want to be somewhere else, you want to be someone else. it’s urgent. you don’t know how to do it. the end is not the end but a means that feels within your reach right now.
this is the wisdom of bell hooks: daily rituals of meaning and resistance and solidarity are part of slowly building a future where you can make the change you really need. and only alive people can do that. every step you take towards change and power is another step away from death.
why are scissors packaged the way they are it’s like they’re taunting us. Oh wow this is such a difficult awful packaging to get through that seems to cause physical damage to your hands as some sort of sick self defense mechanic, if only i had something to help get through it, something sharp perhaps
what sort of sick twisted game is it trying to play here
LEAVE ME ALONE
trans men being "allowed" (and often times forced) into "womens spaces and communities" isnt "at the expense of trans women", you just view trans men existing as taking up space that could be used for trans women because you want trans men eradicated
also by "womens spaces" they mean
'Womens' / Gynecologic health spaces
Domestic abuse support groups [ALL transgender people face higher rates of domestic abuse! Of course trans men will access them?]
Lesbian spaces [which trans men AND trans mascs were at the forefront of creating those communities btw]
OR they see TERFs misgendering trans men and 'accepting' trans men into 'womens spaces' [which trans men are often forced to use either out of safety or systemic pressures]
one reason why I'd prefer it if perisex people would just shut up about intersex people is the extremely ignorant takes they come up with. 'intersex cis women are privileged over trans women, because they're treated like women' is a real take that I've been exposed to. this is why perisex people shouldn't ever be taken seriously when it comes to intersex people, because a lot of them genuinely think like this and they have no idea what they're talking about.
if you knew even a little bit about how the average intersex woman is treated, you would not think that they are more likely to be treated like 'normal' women or protected by society. it's time to actually listen to intersex people instead of talking over us.
we're treated like trash. viciously. if its ok w you OP, i wanna just share a story for the people who dont understand how serious this actually is. but um. TW for intersexism & violence:
my mother has the same intersex variation as me (its genetic). she'd tell me these stories when i'd come home crying saying the girls and boys at school were being cruel to me. she'd tell me it was them who was wrong. because:
when my mother was a girl, she was bullied horrendously - emotionally and physically. they would follow her down the halls. they called her names. said she looked like a boy, that she wasn't a real girl. they'd corner her in the halls and beat her up. then they'd force her to fight other bullied kids. groups of students would watch. she won a few. but she never wanted to fight or hurt anyone.
she was an intersex girl who didnt pass as a girl, so she was assaulted for it and treated like a dog. she started performing femininity to protect herself. its only within the past few years she's decided to express herself more casually and cut her hair again.
ive talked about this on tumblr before but im gonna keep sharing it because. the violence and hatred we face is real and just as dangerous.
anyone who thinks intersex people arent targeted like this doesnt fucking understand at all and im so so tired of it.

"i danced with death" yeah well i slowly ran from him all frail and daintily in a cunt-honoring way
like this if you even care
You can tell landlords think they deserve to live
you can add me on discord and never say a word because i love you
you can add me on discord and text me everyday because i love you
follower count this subscribers count that but we all know what the real number that matters is: how many people have you managed to get into a thing by posting about it on tumblr dot com

i NEED people to realise foreshadowing is. in fact. a literary device. and not a Bad Thing. the audience picking up on your hints is a Good Thing. because. it makes the story and it’s conclusion make sense. and some people will not see those but enjoy seeing them on a second read through. red herrings are one thing but if your novel consists of nothing but red herrings it’s not a coherent story it’s just a collection of paragraphs that don’t actually plausibly link to one another. you're not fighting with the audience you don’t look clever you look like you don’t know how basic fiction works. be vulnerable for once in your goddamn life and don't treat writing like a game to be won where the audience losing is a good thing.
Getting to the end of a story and going "THE CLUES WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME!" is always joyous for me whether or not I picked up on the clues leading up
If I saw the clues and caught the hints then yes! I am clever and me and the author/creator/artist etc were in on it together the whole time!
If I didn't notice the clues or got fooled but can clearly see them in hindsight then "Ha! You won this time storyteller! I am delighted by this game we play!' and then I enjoy putting the pieces together afterwards and enjoying how clever it was. I feel like the creator respects me as an audience
If there is a "twist" that comes with 0 clues or foreshadowing at all I'm annoyed. I'm pissed off. I feel like I'm being condescended to and patronised. It's not clever or interesting and makes me annoyed I ended up caring about characters and plot points that ended up meaningless.
Because it's not that these stories don't have foreshadowing or plot clues. They just abandon it for a "surprising twist"
A story that pays off the clues is letting me into the fun and makes a participant in the story
A story that just gives me a "shock" but no pay off is telling me not to engage or get attached or care. So why would I watch?
OMG! THIS!
Random plot twists that don't connect to anything in the story are not clever. If we don't see it coming because the writer didn't provide any clues, they aren't clever and it's totally unsatisfying (and I will NEVER read this writer again). These clues need not be lit up in neon with a parade of elephants and showgirls. But they need to be present
I'm a writer and am rarely surprised. Often, if I am surprised it's because the writer was a dumbass and included a "twist" that makes no sense (and therefore isn't really a twist, it's just random bullshit). If a writer genuinely surprises me, without being an absolute dumbass, I am FUCKING DELIGHTED! I will tell everyone I know to read the book/see the movie/watch the show.
Foreshadowing is the reward for paying attention. It's the story letting you in on the secret like a co-conspirator because you're the clever little audience member who has been picking up on the clues the writer has been setting up.
It even makes watching/reading again more worthwhile because if you didn't notice the foreshadowing the first time you have the joy of being able to notice the things you missed!
Time to bring up the creator of Babylon 5, and sometime writer on Murder She Wrote, responding to people saying "We already figured this out", once again. Paraphrasing with a bit of quoting;
If no one figures it out, you're doing your job wrong.
If everyone figures it out, you're doing your job wrong.
Of COURSE some people figure it out, they're paying attention.
If you're doing your job right, and laying out the clues, a certain number of people HAVE to figure it out.
"The best case scenario is a bell-shaped curve. Some don't have a clue what's coming, some manage to figure it out, and the majority have a kind of vague sense where it's going, but there are still surprises along the way. If the bell-curve shifts one direction or the other, then you're in trouble."

You point out that something going on in China is very capitalist and there’s always somebody who goes “but aren’t they communist tho”
My friends, pure communism in practice was dead the moment it started and Chinese internet influencers have so many fucking sponsorships per video. Have you had your head under a rock for the past 30 years?
You know why they have entire empty cities in China? It’s not for a growing population. Their population has been in decline for a few years now. No. Its investments. The housing investment market is so deep fried cooked crazy whackadoodle over there that they have entire empty cities. It’s nuts.
"trans men pass easier"
