A little less conversation... A little more touch me.

there’s a conversation here about how queer people who come from heavily poor, illiterate, traditional ass backgrounds have to put in fucking work to gain any real acceptance from the queer community so we’re not seen as ignorant and backwards but we also like don’t have community with our own families because of our gender and/or sexuality most times. it’s really rich that the progressive movement can acknowledge how poverty, illiteracy, religion, racial identity shape people but fully fail to understand it beyond good vs bad, enlightened vs ignorant, with us vs against us… like some of you fully cannot conceptualize a person that’s with you and on your side if they’re not exactly like you or deeply apologetic about where they came from because you look down on it. but i don’t really want to have that conversation with y’all.

"um i just dont have any sympathy for people who fall for obvious scams lol..... why would you give your apple ID to someone over email why would you offer up the last digits of your social to a stranger why why why" you have never been pushed to the brink before clearly. It makes me happy you've never been starving or on the street. That youve never been so stressed your nose bleeds and your eyes ache and you haven't slept for days anywhere but in a moving van. It makes me happy to learn that about you. But people in tough situations make poor choices desperate for money, or comfort. And people take advantage to squeeze blood from stone. Or worse. So.

The first rule of sewing is you can fix anything if you have patience, creativity, and a little bit of extra fabric! The second rule of sewing is AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

challenging all white women to put in even half the effort they spend on fearmongering to other white women about parking lot abductions to instead support MMIWG initiatives if they want to actually make a difference in protecting women

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way

can we stop pretending that anyone assigned female at birth has some mystical connection to womanhood or lesbianism. it’s such a conservative outlook on identity i can’t believe we have to even pretend to entertain it.

It’s because the trans man who calls himself a lesbian was usually a lesbian before they came out. They made friends with lesbians, went to lesbian bars, identified as butch and then realized they were trans. If they’re attached to the identity they’re MORE than okay to still be using it. It has nothing to do with some kind of inherent “claim” from their cagab.

"trans people just name themselves after characters" as opposed to cis people who name their children after names in the bible

"Love/sex is what makes us human" Wrong. It's the obsession with rectangles. look around you and count the number of rectangles you see.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

"sex is real" is a very funny thing to say to a group of people who very famously change their sex on purpose

"I told you so" is the best means we have to make sure this doesn't happen again

I'll keep saying, "I told you so" until progressives stop listening to Bernie Sanders. He's the one who got us into this mess in the first place.

We were too forgiving of them electing John Fetterman and Tulsi Gabbard. With those they hid behind "plausible" deniability (altho if they had listened to Black Democrats both times, that wouldn't have happened). There is absolutely no deniability here. They knew about the Nazi tattoo back last October. With every subsequent scandal, it just made them double down even harder because they just had to own the libs.
