Who Even Knows Because I Sure Don't

Queer women who arent lesbians exist. Like, you can be queer and butch and bi, for example.

also butch and femme as terms are used by queer men and trans folks of all variants.

Have you guys noticed how much the internet/technology just does not listen to you anymore? I click “don’t show this artist” on Spotify and I get recommended a music video by them on the front page. I click “skip this update” on a pop up every time I open a file organization app and it’s right back there every time. O click unsubscribe on a newsletter and it keeps showing up in my inbox!! I click “delete my account” and the next time I open the website they suggest I “reactivate”.

maybe i’m crazy but i’m not actually convinced you care about human dignity and inalienable rights if your outlook on the world is primarily about who should die and suffer

"Being kind is punk" you need to learn to do good things without it being tied to a social status or subculture

Watching a certain flavor of leftist spoil and ratfuck the upcoming elections is even more dispiriting to watch as a fed rn. We're barely holding on. Even at my evil govt job that they would crucify me for working at, our career employees and leaders are holding the line, slow-rolling, maliciously complying, and ignoring (when we can get away with it) whatever illegal batshit insane horrific thing the ghouls whove been handed the reins of our agencies can come up with. And everyone - EVERYONE - is taking hits and taking hits and holding out if we can for this coming election. Everyone is talking about November and what the posture will be like at christmas. Its the only silver lining. The stakes have only gotten higher since 2024. We're fatigued, and tired. And a bunch of bored ingrates with too much time on their hands and a fundamental misunderstanding of the extent of their own privilege are trying their damnedest to pry our fingers off the ledge

I deserve more credit for not picking stupid fights on the internet than a nice person who doesn't pick fights does, because I have an unpleasant personality and it's harder for me

The Stolen Generation never ended.

June and July are the same months btw. They want you to think they're two different months but it's the same month that's 60 days long. Same way August is actually August and the first half of September

For me a big part of “sex work is work” is that sex work should be socially viewed as totally legitimate work. I should be able to put sex work on my resume. I should be able to lean on the skills and knowledge I gain in this field and have that experience be respected. Right now I have a gap in my resume. But I’m also consistently doing advertising, social media management, inventory, merchandising, customer service, upselling!!! I’m working self directed, I’m solely responsible for every aspect of my business. I deserve respect, fuck.

Egg prime directive basically boils down to "better let a trans woman wallow in misery and die than maybe briefly annoy a cis man" and honestly if that's not the clearest indicator of transmisogyny I don't know what is.

The post broke containment and people are being weird in the reply, so I just want to reiterate : it is always morally correct to let someone know they have the choice to be trans. If you think this constitutes harassment there is something sincerely wrong with the way you see trans people and gender in general.

I am here to challenge the false dichotomy between pro‑Israel and pro‑Palestine. I will not attempt to square this circle, because the circle itself is false. The idea that Israel and Palestine form a zero‑sum conflict—that one people’s gain must be the other’s destruction—is both intellectually flawed and politically dangerous. It traps us in a logic where only total victory or total defeat seem imaginable. Human reality is less tidy. The ‘crooked timber of humanity,’ Immanuel Kant’s phrase so beautifully varnished by Isaiah Berlin, does not yield perfect symmetry. We cannot undo past catastrophes, but we can shape what follows them. Societies, like people, can endure, adapt, and even heal—though never without scars. Like humans and societies, old trees carry their scars even as they heal and grow.

[ID: tiktok by @/juzt_sammie with the caption "POV: You're visually impaired." A man walks up to a wall outside with a paper notice taped onto it. He says, "What is this? Let me put on my glasses." He puts them on and takes the paper, reading, "Beware, quicksa—" then cuts himself off with an annoyed look at the camera. As he says this he starts rapidly sinking downwards into the quicksand out of frame. End ID.]

had a beautiful moment of connection. my 14 month old neice was pointing at my beverage and looking at me like she expected something, so I said “yes baby, this is mugs zero sugar root beer. very good, baby.” but she just jabbed her finger more insistently, and went ‘woof wooof woof’. and this is when I looked closer and saw the mug’s rootbeer bulldog. I almost teared up. I said, “yes baby, that’s the mug’s rootbeer bulldog. woof woof woof. I love you small baby.”
