me: sweet hit me with the good stuff

media: so there's this marginalized underclass of people, right?

me: okay

media: and they're like, stigmatized for something that's mostly an aspect of how they are born, or where they're from, or they're badly misunderstood, right?

me: yup, got it, I'm with ya

media: so these people are rebelling against the current social order, because it's the instrument of their suffering

me: oh good great sure

media: but also they're violent and deranged and need to be stopped

me: ...what

media: yeah they're going too far, they're trying to overthrow the system and assassinate the nice cop trying to help them and also they burned down an orphanage

me: ...why? would they burn down an orphanage??

media: extremism is bad

me: still not seeing what this has to do with their fight though???

media: also now they've shot a dog. oops they shot another dog

me: what?! why? I though their motive was to overthrow oppression??

media: yes but their suffering has also made them evil

me: ...???

media: don't worry though, the good guys will defeat them and restore the status quo

me: the status quo that's been killing people?

media: well it turns out it was only killing the kinds of awful people who burn down orphanages and shoot dogs :)

me: oh. this is actually a pro-authoritarian story, isn't it?

The stories you hear of people dying from rationing, this is what happens to their body.

Someone once said in the tags of one of my posts that being super tall is basically a disability. At first I thought that was maybe a bit of an extreme statement, but the more I think about it and the more I suffer the consequences from living my whole life in a world that isn’t designed to accommodate people like me, the more I think that might not be such an exaggeration after all.

STOP FUCKING SAYING STUPID SHIT ABOUT IT OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU IMBECILES ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN PICKING ONE OF THREE DIALOG LINES THAT I'VE HEARD FROM LITERALLY EVERYONE I'VE EVER MET SINCE I WAS TWELVE

like not only is there the sheer irritation of hearing the same thing over and over again day in and day out but also

>i didn't ask for or do anything to become this tall

>i do not enjoy almost any aspect of being this tall

>you are commenting on an aspect of my body that i do not have any control over

>WHY THE FUCK!!!!!!ARE YOU ALL!!!!!!! SO GODDAMNED SEXUAL ABOUT IT?!?!?!?!

>seriously. one of the great realizations that transitioning put together for me is that i feel *exactly* the same yuck when an old lady goes "waouw ur so tall" as i do when some fuckass man is like "hey baby nice tits!!!!"

>holy. motherfucking. shit. none of you react well to having any of this pointed out to you. at best, i've been told (not paraphrasing) that i need to learn to "shut up and just deal with it bc you're tall so it's gonna keep happening". at worst, i have literally had someone explicitly threaten to kill me bc i said smth flippant when they asked if i played basketball.

so yea i would fucking love a little support, maybe a back rub

BUT CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SEXUALLY HARRASSING ME?????
