internalized homophobia is eating at chick-fil-a

its already begun…

— An excerpt from Ferguson & the Criminalization of American Life by David Graeber (via actjustly)

this is the origin of the slogan “i cant breathe”, which was revived in the wake of the killing of george floyd.

how it all feels lately

if the league is going to openly endorse sports betting, partner with betting platforms, and actively promote betting during every single commercial break, then it NEEDS to also take measures to protect its players from the vitriol that betting inspires. personally i think it's incredibly fucked up that sports leagues are endorsing betting at all, but that's a conversation for another day. natasha cloud said it well when she was interviewed about it: if the wnba wants to endorse betting for the sake of financial growth, fine, but that cannot come at the expense of the players, and cathy needs to step up and protect them (in this way and so many more). elizabeth williams (secretary of the players’ association) said that there’s a meeting scheduled to discuss the issue with cathy soon, but i honestly don’t know how much we can expect to come from it

LISTEN TO RECORDS

my comic for terrible comic day 2026

me: so about those fucked-up fantasies shane was cooking up in juniors… I think it is delicious when a character experiences their own desires as taboo and therefore starts fantasizing about ways that they could get those desires satisfied without it being their fault. I’m imagining that a lot of shane’s ‘deeply closeted teenager in a homophobic culture’ fantasies revolved around other guys pressuring or bullying him into doing things. you could explore the whole spectrum here, ranging from the fairly innocuous (his road roommate keeps complaining that his girlfriend won’t put out and cajoles shane into blowing him) to the lightly risqué (hot young assistant coach is disappointed in shane for taking a stupid penalty and offers him a way to make up for it) to the much darker/more intense (guy catches him looking in the showers and the team decides to pass him around to teach him a lesson). if someone else takes the reins then shane doesn’t have to actively want it himself! or feel guilty about getting it! he can just let it happen to him. it’s someone else’s call
