Night of the Living Chester

It's actually super unethical to keep a peeve as a pet

When I (M29) was a young boy (M7) my father (M35) took me into the city (X167) to see a marching band (M23, M21, M22, F22, M24, M25, F21, M

He said “Son (M7) when you grow up (F33) would you be — wait what”

after seeing that poll about whether usamericans will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of their country, I have to ask: are they aware they are hosting the football world cup this summer

what are people's favorite niche ice cream flavors. mine are superman and blue moon (specifically from the midwest like michigan/indiana/wisconsin), van leeuwen's royal wedding cake, and jeni's wildberry lavender

I get the importance of the transfem community warnings but sometimes I see shit like girls talking other girls out of trying to get their teaching certificates because of the potential for harassment from conservative parents and idk that's very real but also at a certain point we are just doing preemptive hiring discrimination to ourselves

Like on the one hand it is very real that societal transphobia would like to see us all unemployed, forced to do survival sex work. But also that's not the only reality available to us at this point! And sometimes I worry that we are self policing in a way by flooding so many trans girls with this message of "your only options are to get super good at onlyfans or be Raytheon's strongest coder" when like, so many of the women I know are teachers, home care workers, nannies, day care workers, postal workers. Not glamorous, but like, idk the world of lower middle class pink collar jobs is available to us more or less at this point. Other girls have office jobs, some girls have to work food service and retail. But we get to exist in some form besides either NEETs or internet famous porn girls. And obvi hiring discrimination is real, and obvi disability issues come into play for a lot of us that makes a lot of the work I just mentioned inaccessible. I'm not saying things are sweet out there. But there is a world out there where you can live. Maybe not in the exact way you want, maybe not super easily, but you can live.

another thing i’ve been thinking about is when you don’t understand why you are the way you are and you just know you’re naturally different and have to work to be non-different, then you conflate all of your natural impulses into one conception of the “true self,” even though these impulses might come from various different places, such as some from privilege and some from neurotype and some from sexuality and etc. but when you can’t distinguish between their sources and thus crucially the reasons for which these traits are not socially acceptable, then you feel you must either do away with all of them or embrace all of them. and black-or-white thinking can develop

istTVg is sure a movie to experience when you happen to be an asthmatic named owen

Arrival is a very cool movie but the whole time I was thinking "this could have been a sci-fi magazine short story"

There is no movie good enough to make up for the inconvenience of having to watch a movie
