just memorised all the capitals, a very disapproving look to all 2.8 million residents of Yaoundé, Cameroon, for eluding my recollection for so long.

astronomers are just like astrologers but they use telescopes instead of horoscopes. this is because science channels are on the telly and unknowable beings beyond our comprehension are cosmic horror. sometimes, these two things intersect. (NOT insect. that one is different to the study of word family trees). however ☝ both astrology and etymology (NOT BUGS) are done primarily by the elderly, and entomology and astronomy are done primarily by queers. this is because queers like TV, and old people's houses is where the horror movie was shot. and all this and more was expanded upon in kimberle crenshaw's theory of intersectionality, which you can read up on if you are elderly or queer, because both groups are prone to being each other also. ^ the explanation given to me by an elderly queer astrologer upon me asking for a glass of water.

do they speak english sometimes in the vatican or is pope leo's only use of the language confined to twitter?

Curious if anyone knows why wizards in traditional European folklore tend to be portrayed as academics with lavish halls, while witches are portrayed as lower-class, living in a cottage ar best? Is it reflective of the absence of women in education? Was it leveraging a misogynistic fear of evil women Among Us?

i've gotten to the point where i see a sincere display of usamerican patriotism online and instinctively look for the joke. surely this image of someone hoisting the american flag has subliminal 11/9 attacks transparently superimposed onto it. surely this image of a grotesquely muscled president has a link to charlie kirk x donald trump ironic fanfic. what are we doing here guys?

I cannot express enough how important civility is to changing peoples' minds. You are not going to make that trans man a transfeminist by calling him a transandrobro. I don't actually care if you think he deserves it. If you have to vent, do it privately. The number of people primed to read aggression into every transfeminist opinion stems partly from transmisogyny, sure, but it also comes from being called 'theyfab' and 'birthday boy' online. We are a tiny movement in a tiny population. We do not have the numbers to exert meaningful political pressure without a large amount of coalition-building. I'm not saying that you should be toothless in your critique, or let transmisogynistic views slide. I'm just saying that you should be able to critique them without defaulting to abuse. I get that this can be tiring, but if you cannot extend politeness to your ideological opposites, block them and move on. Log off Tumblr, spend some time with a hobby. The catharsis you seek will not come from dunking on people, or insulting them. The true joy of transfeminism is found after a ten-thousand word conversation with someone who leaves it with their mind changed.

god the silent disappointment when your drunk washing-up partner silently returns a dish is crushing. you thought you cleaned it properly? alas, under the pot handle.
