F-F-F-FUEGO!

I get being rabidly jealous/possessive as an artist when you're like 12. I'd probably be mad at a kid for 'stealing' my style in middle school. But how the hell does one maintain this mindset as an adult

Flaming hot take apparently but if another trans person’s body causes you dysphoria you need to grow the fuck up and keep your mouth shut. I can’t stress this enough it is not their problem to deal with and YOU need to work on that.

Did you know that you can waste your free time by not knowing which activity to do so you do none of them

i ADORE when beginner artists or people who think that everyone thinks their art is bad draw my characters btw. there's so much love in people's creations and that goes for beginner/"""bad""" artists too. it's so fun seeing someone whos art might not be as 'good' as everyone else's (trust me your art is still good and it's so sosososo fun to see) draws a character. "srry if i drew it badly" no u didnt draw it badly I LOVED IT!!!! THATS MY BLORBO!!! U TOOK TIME OUT OF UR DAY TO DRAW MY BLORBO!!! ITS NOT BAD AT ALL I LOVED IT SO SO SO SO MUCH PLEASE NEVER APOLOGISE FOR DRAWING

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

you're just mad because you're hungry and tired and your legs hurt and you head hurts and you're too hot and you have depression

some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

ill never forget the dream i had about this show on nickelodeon that was kind of like malcom in the middle and even stevens and it was called Bitchboy Naughty and like every time they went to a commercial it would fade out w/ kids singing “Bitchboy naughtyyyyyy’ i wish u could hear this tune bc its been stuck in my head for months

here’s my one whole discourse post for pride month. you fucks will never ever ever wean off the radfem shit if you keep trying to give “cis men are evil” nuance. no, it’s not bad because they could be closeted or questioning, it’s bad because gender essentialism is a fucking brain poison and it makes you stupid

this is “not all men” cloaked in progressive-sounding vocabulary

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

saying this as a lesbian who loves women's boobs--sexually, even! but i don't think that we as a society should consider breasts inherently female or inherently sexual. a flat chest should not be seen as the "default" for gender neutrality but instead just one way a person can present. boobs should be normal. anyone of any gender can have boobs
