last week I was deep in the trenches ploughing through work and mid-afternoon realised I'd neglected to open the blinds and the room was a little dim, so I got up to do that and discovered that a car had flipped onto its roof directly outside my flat and the entire street was closed and flooded with emergency service while they dragged someone out of the vehicle and packed them into an ambulance. so now every time I open the blinds I'm a little like the dog with the ham sandwich bush. what the fuck could it be today.

I learned a very long time ago that I could post in English on the Anglo internet about my experience as a sexual minority in the #middleeastandnorthafrica region. I could vent about every slight or slur, every indiscretion, all the doors that might not have closed in my face had I not been who I am. But that all it would do is earn me a seat at a table half the world away, a seat that I would lose the second I said “but my people are still human. But we are Arab women before we are queer women. But we are muslim before we are trans women. But we are imperialised subjects of the periphery before we are bisexuals. But we are ‘combat-aged males’ before we are gay men and boys.” A seat that I could only keep if I show a willingness to betray my people. And I will not. I do not want it. The price is too steep and the value too low.

I have come to know now that this western voraciousness for our stories was never an impulse born out of empathy; it has always been little more than a gathering of intel, of reasons to hate us and to justify the destruction of our bodies and the pillaging of our lands and the looting of our resources. So I no longer see the utility in being one more primary source for the proverbial NYT opinion editorial manufacturing consent for the latest campaign of imperial slaughter in my backyard on account of our inherent backwardness.

people hate it when you say things like 'this policy that was mostly meant to hurt [marginalised group] also sometimes hurts [other, less marginalised group]" which is fair bc it can definitely come across as 'who cares if those subhumans get hurt, the problem is when it happens to real people'. but unfortunately a fact about being a marginalised group is that it makes it much cheaper politically to hurt you.

immigration officers arresting citizens is not worse than immigration officers arresting noncitizens, but turns out weirdly enough 'citizens' is a category with a lot more political power than 'noncitizens' and so it's strategically useful to get them opposed to immigration enforcement. so that might affect which things you talk about how much.

This! I call these "curbcutter arguments", after the curbcutter effect, where it was observed that an improvement made for wheelchair users had knock-on positive effects for other people.

Should "This marginalized group is being hurt by [thing], so we should stop doing [thing]" be enough of an argument? Sure! But for a lot of people, it's not. And until we get to a point where it is, I'm going to keep using curbcutter arguments when I need to, because sometimes that's what it takes to get the problem fixed. And fixing the problem is the important part.

queeranarchism

These are useful when you want someone's one-time participation in a political effort to get result, or as a gateway to get people active.

To get people to stay active, they do need to learn that actually things are still bad when they only hurt the marginalized group. People who don't internalize that make terrible allies that could betray the marginalized group at any moment.

Luckily, the result of getting into activism is often that your perspective broadens in exactly this way because when ''the marginalized group" becomes "my buddies who always help with the protest" or "that medic that was there for me when I as hurt", caring about the marginalized group becomes a lot more instinctive.

Every once in a while, I wish the friendship meter from the Sims was real so that way when people tell me "I used Chat-GPT" they can visually see just how much respect I just lost for them in that moment.

One time an acquaintance told me she entered Snape's star chart into chatgpt and I could physically feel that meter dropping three separate times over the course of her sentence

A mcguffin isn't just any artifact the characters are after in a story. A mcguffin needs to be interchangeable to qualify as a mcguffin. The mcguffin serves no purpose to the story outside of the fact that the characters are after it.

The Infinity Stones in Avengers: Infinity War give Thanos powers and allow him to carry out his plan in the end. They're not mcguffins.

The Ark of the Covenant in Indiana Jones is almost a mcguffin. For most of the movie it doesn't do anything except being a vague supernatural power the characters are after. But in the end it activates and resolves the plot by destroying the Nazis, disqualifying it.

The Arquillian Galaxy in Men in Black is a mcguffin. It doesn't do anything in the movie except be sought after by the characters. The bug is after it, but it doesn't do anything with it. The Arquillians threaten to destroy the Earth if they don't get it back, but they don't use it (except in the very end when they play marbles with it) In story terms, it's entirely interchangeable.

Unobtanium in the Avatar movie is so much of a McGuffin I bet most of us forgot it existed

charlesoberonn

It's got the most mcguffiny name short of just calling it Mcguffinite.

The Maltese falcon in The Maltese Falcon is also a great example.

My favorite example is the Uranium sand from Notorious. It's a mcguffin so interchangeable that it was literally changed during the scripting process.

It was stolen diamonds in earlier drafts of the script and was changed to Uranium because it was 1946 and everything nuclear-related was very topical.

When I was training to be a paramedic, we had one student ask the instructor what to do in the event of a marijuana overdose. The instructor said "Tell him to take two twinkies and call you in the morning."
