a Mess™

I can do it. I can write a chapter. I am capable of putting sentences together. I know what a comma is. I am Aware of the Character.

This seems to have vibed with a lot of folks, so as encouragement: after posting this, I did in fact write a whole chapter. So you can do it too! You ARE capable of putting sentences together!

Reading this in 2024 feels like an immortal returning to their old village after 300 years and finding it’s been converted to a heritage site full of period actors

i think there is a phenomenon where sometimes a trans person will go “hmm. i am treated as a man when it is convenient for others, and a woman when it is convenient for others, and often as a freakish third thing excluded from the advantages of both. surely, because of the gender binary, the Other Type of trans person experiences the opposite: they reap the benefits of maleness and femaleness at once.” like babes no they can do it twice

This applies to a bunch of other subgroups of the queer community too. Asexuals are made to feel like freaks for not being sexual enough by the same society that makes everyone else feel like freaks for being too sexual. Lesbians feel pressured to be bi even while bi women feel like they'd be more accepted if they were lesbian. Butches, femmes, and wlw who are neither are all made to feel like they're doing it wrong. PLUS unique facets of shittiness for every shade of non binary PLUS different attitudes towards mlm and wlw PLUS divisions within mlm spaces etc etc etc. And these frictions and differing needs and experiences are absolutely worth discussing, but every time we decide the problem is just that Those Other Queers have it easy we are making the actual problem worse.

Honestly incredible. If I had actually bothered to go into the industry I got my education in, guys like this would be my peers and my bosses and I frankly think I'd end up on the news if I had to spend most of my waking time around these guys.

the simplicity of lactase supplements is so funny to me. it costs like $4 to circumvent evolutionary biology. want to eat dairy but your body doesn’t produce the enzyme necessary to digest lactose? the devs haven’t patched that yet but you can download a mod

thing i've noticed: tumblr users will be like "ugh tumblr users can't take a joke!!" and then the joke is always "kill all [minority group]"….. call me woke, but i think, if you can't handle being told that your "joke" is fucked-up & bigoted, maybe don't tell fucked-up & bigoted "jokes"..?

Yes I like fictional characters a very normal amount. Don’t look at my blog.

your art style does not need a name your clothing style does not need to fit into a subcultural standard your feelings and experiences do not all need their own names and terminology

kind of insane to think that within a decade or so, being able to write well without the aid of any generative AI at all is going to be an endangered skill. all my girls promise you’ll stay posting organic homegrown bullshit on this website so your brains won’t fall out of practice!!!

No I genuinely don't think there's any better wording of the last part

u can tell the 4chan migration on here was successful / we lost the culture war bc anytime i even touch a post regarding autism i automatically get recommended more post about it and the post will literally have phrases like “total neurotypical death” with 20k notes and a bunch of high functioning white autistic ppl rbing it happily and giggling and whatever not even caring that “tnd” is a racist dog whistle no not even a dog whistle just straight up a racist chant but if u ask them to stop using it they go “so now we cant even complain about neurotypical?????” as if thats whats being criticized instead of the fact that yall r extremely open to fascism as long as its fun

to clarify any variation of “total ____ death” is just a rebranding of the nazi slogan “total nigger death” like. ur just using a nazi slogan, u cannot swap out black people in that phrase and think its okay to use now, especially if ur still using a word that starts with the letter n like im kinda sick of yall being so okay with hating black people

who tf is cracking down on COMIC PIRACY. oh god sorry for not paying before reading this issue from the 60s that DC doesn't even offer on DCUI and costs a hundred dollars on the second hand market. fuuuck

In my experience, horror fans are by and large lovely people with a very healthy relationship to their genre of choice, but sometimes they fuck up and say something that in their ears sounds very affirmative of the movie of discussion and to everyone else sounds like the most sinister shit.
