i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary

SHRIMP COLORS

You have to look at historical queer identities and queer relationships in the shrimp colors of what queerness can be, not in binary queer/straight or trans/cis and romantic/platonic sexual/not sexual terms. You have to take these historical narratives for what they are and not try to force them into a modern queer label that never existed for them.

this is all good except DO NOT CALL THE REGULAR POLICE. some areas have a 287g agreement that enables local police to assist ICE. some other police departments, despite lacking a 287g, will help ICE anyways. under basically no circumstances will regular police intervene meaningfully against ICE- even if a regular cop doesn't "like" ICE they usually won't challenge them because of the idea that fed authority trumps local cops. pigs are pigs are pigs. calling the cops in this scenario generally does at best nothing and at worst puts you and anyone at risk near you in danger. it's not worth the risk.

Had a dream that Sabrina carpenter died and everyone was super sad about it but, unwilling to be upstaged, taylor swift flew her private jet directly into a block of apartments killing herself and hundreds of innocent people and everyone called it the gay 9/11

"reject modernity embrace tradition" being spread around as a popular phrase again + videos of white people with their white babies frolic in fields and pick berries and cook on $20,000 stoves modelled after the kinds our great grandparents had no choice but to use and claiming some sort of closeness to the earth and untainted quality as a result + even people who consider themselves to be left wing uncritically talking about how everything would be better if we all went back to living on farms in nature growing our food in the wilderness + rise of tradwife / traditional patriarchal conservatism among young women who don't realize it's a trap + "the amish are so silly quirky funny harmless" + rise of young people choosing to convert to catholicism and eastern orthodoxy and evangelical protestantism + rise of vocal "detrans" grifters advocating a return to "our inherent biological truth / reality" "here's how i was manipulated as a 35 year old minor into transitioning, buy my book where i talk about how glad i am that i'm normal again" and return of "ex-gay" pro conversion therapy scammers selling their "services" to private businesses, churches, and parents claiming they can convince their kids to stop being gay or trans or whatever + "wow you're 32 and look like an old hag, i'm turning 22 and i use 10 different retinoids and creams and ointments and get laser treatments and botox because i'm terrified of aging and if you aren't doing this too and using my code SCAM at checkout for 20% off this retinol i got paid to promote you'll be a fat ugly bitch forever" tiktok influencer culture + literally everything else going on in the anglosphere

I don't care if they're the highest grossing movies on planet freakin Earth, you say "Avatar" and everyone and their mom still thinks that bald little bitch and his magic cow. Soggy James can keep his millions, he'll never have the streets.

also i think concerts becoming more and more of a luxury item is fucked and we shouldnt just like continue to normalize that

Yes, but also - go see your local bands that no one’s ever heard of. It’s cheap and the energy is out of this world and they’ll appreciate it and if you buy their merch you will actually change their lives. There is something about a small show that cannot be beat. Cannot.

well thats neat as hell :o also, woah, vintage embroidery machine?? sweet

i'm going to say something insane. i think the overall pronounced fandom cultural slide away from complex plotty violent work and towards kidfic and coffee shops AUs and cozy domestic romcoms is a symptom of fascism.

I know the "disabled villain" trope isn't good representation but y'know. I DO kind of get it. Sometimes my whole body hurts so bad that I could probably make an evil death laser. Sometimes things claim to be wheelchair accessible and are so incredibly inaccessible that I consider world domination just to fuckin fix it. I can see the appeal of becoming Evil And Scary to stop the stares. I am tired of being Polite and (ironically) Accommodating, answering "what's wrong with you?" over and over. Having minions would also be quite helpful.

Honestly fuck AI for making me have to go on and on defending the dignity of toil like I’m some kind of protestant
