You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like

And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?

God forbid women do anything

men go “haha white women fuck dogs” and then proceed to commit 86% of zoophilia crimes

something something Valerie solanas every purported masculine virtue is envy of the qualities of the female and every purported feminine vice is a projection of masculine shortcomings...

There is nothing enlightened or progressive about ancient cultures being inclusive of eunuchs/effeminate men or allowing certain men to be grouped with women. Femininity was never about womanhood, it was always non-masculinity. A man can be degraded to femininity, but a woman, seen as naturally inferior scum, can never rectify her status.

As someone with an anthropology degree, it frustrates me how few people understand this. The concept of a "third gender" in other cultures is almost exclusively used as a place to "downgrade" a gay or otherwise non-traditional man into some lower but semi-useful (and often extremely objectified and "othered,") space in society. Women who are lesbians or non-traditional don't get to move into a "third gender" category. The rare instances where this has been seen, it's always strictly symbolic and very much to the woman's detriment. This cultural practice, where present, is entirely a result of homophobia and misogyny.

please don’t spend your life convincing yourself that love or joy is reserved for the idealized version of you that only exists in the future
