None Gender with Left Queer

guys, if i do kill myself and never published any books or anything please copy all my best tumblr posts and arrange them into a deeply moving stream of consciousness narrative and submit it to the new yorker on my behalf. i feel like i can count on you. don't let my life and posting have been in vain

ngl kinda hate that "this has been discussed extensively you're just 21" tweet cos it was directed at a trans woman who was getting dogpiled for saying that the "dangerous man in a dress" horror trope is shitty

she was born in 2005, the right wing culture war against trans people has been going on for half her life, if she independently arrives at a correct take then how is that something worth mocking?? you got flowers sprouting through concrete, water them dumbass

my pipe dream is to live long enough to see a dracula adaptation movie that a) is a good movie, b) significantly adapts the events of the novel dracula (1897), and c) but not any of the really racist parts and also doesn't add in any additional racism of its own. I've got a handful of movies that get 2/3, but let's be real, most drac adapts are 0/3. I think it's possible I think we can do it I think it just might take forty more years.

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

at the risk of sounding completely nuts bonkers bananas etc, I think they loved each other…

BJ's confession in Period of Adjustment is so good. You finally get him breaking down over a letter from his wife trying to tell him something sweet, but he's absolutely shattered by it because it triggered the reality of him losing time with his baby girl. And then you got the envy over Radar and anyone who got to go home. But Trapper specifically - yes, he probably would have still got drafted - but BJ is actually on this show because of Trapper's absence. When someone leaves the show it's sad for us to watch, but then BJ just reminded us that the characters who stay are miserable

I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.
