Despondent

I've been sitting on this post for ages and it doesn't get any respect.

sorry america but you’ve been really mean. and I don’t want to go to your birthday party in two days

so this post has blown up; turns out a lot of people feel the same way I do. If you're feeling conflicted or upset over 4th of July, I've compiled a list of educational resources and charities, both regarding US and international issues, which you can look into if you'd like. Issues here include humanitarian aid to Gaza, Ukraine, and the Caribbean, as well as reproductive, LGBT, BIPOC, and disability rights in the US.

If I see one more person who is into butchfemme call tma/tme a regressive binary I'm going to start welding your carabiners shut

treating 20th century american lesbian bar culture as a universal queer experience and pillar of our culture while simultaneously discounting contemporary theory of gender dynamics is just straight up conservative... you are just trying to conserve a different culture than the usual breed.

I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service

[recommending something i sincerely love] ok so the thing about it is it kinda sucks

this sites been a culture maker for like at least 15 years now and no one in the wider world knows or cares

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

Passing along for all the writers out there!

I could sure as hell use some of this... 😭 And of course wishing all my fellow writers the same!

The idea of two people having sex and it creating another, smaller person who has a combination of their traits sounds like it was made up for fan fiction but alas I've heard tale that it's really happened

sorry america but you’ve been really mean. and I don’t want to go to your birthday party in two days

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

The popularity of the "incompetent stupid piece of shit husband and competent wife who loves him anyways" trope in media is a psyop to make women believe its normal to settle for an incompetent stupid piece of shit husband

But if a woman acted incompetent once then she will be literally crucified in the street and she's evil for manipulating her husband into settling for less and suddenly it's not a silly endearing sitcom trope 🤔

they’ve been working on a fucking prank on me since april i’m so goddamn indignant
