black people in gothic/alt scenes are just so cool because I think the concept of being black is already outside of the conservative worldview so being black and rejecting norms of a Christian fascist society is a goddamn power move. especially in the face of black conservatives. I've heard from black people who are goth or alt that they faced antiblackness in those spaces and they are honestly troopers. I'm alt too trying to express myself after being in a Christian cult for 18 years of my life, finally out. I find comfort in nu metal and ig "dark" music
it's also why I drew furry lesbians and transgender furries and porn because that shit was so heavily repressed tooI mean my fursona is literally a demon wolpertinger!!!!

Bitches!!! Several co-workers and I all just left a very unhealthy job (at least 5 of us all left lol). I sent your article ‘The Resignation Checklist’ around to everyone before we did. This is a message my co-worker sent me- she went over the checklist and realized she had PTO that wouldn’t have paid out and used it before she left!!! I used the checklist myself and before I left: quit at the beginning of the month to get an extra month of insurance, am going for a physical and dental cleaning, went and got an eye exam and new glasses through my vision insurance, made sure my 401k was vested, and redeemed some company rewards points for a gift card! I especially would never have thought about new glasses without your list and am so excited for them. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and that your article was a hit with my work friends- thank you!!! <3
OH HONEY!!!! Damn this brings tears to our eyes. We're so thrilled for you and your coworkers!!! It's a huge honor to know that we helped you guys out in your quitting journey.

"why we build the wall" from hadestown is really gonna trip up future media analysis students. they'll be like "ah a piece of media from the 2010s referencing building a wall to keep out the poor, clearly this is a reference to the president of the united states from 2016-2020", and then their professor will have to be like "actually the concept album for this musical came out in 2010"
how i hope this conversation goes from there is like:
"actually the concept album for this musical came out in 2010 and the original song was written in 2006"
"so she knew about the wall 10 years before Trump proposed it be built?"
"well, let's talk about that...
...but that wasn't when the wall was first built...
...this shift in the '90s marked the start of an enforcement philosophy called Prevention Through Deterrence, which basically says that if crossing is made more deadly, fewer people will cross (fact check: it just means that more people die on the journey). From the start, the purpose of the wall was not to physically to stop people from crossing -- it was to make it more deadly to do so.
...and we can also look at the song metaphorically and expansively, as a reference to the policing of migration, to company towns, to gated communities, and the physical and metaphorical walls that throughout history have kept people in and out and defined who does and don't belong.
Sources: 1 & 2 / 3 / 4"
"...how did you just say a hyperlink?"
"why worry about that when you can use this show as an entry-point into a deeper understanding of capitalism's investment in coercive control over human migration, and its long history in the United States?"
"so the song only seems prophetic because the long history of policing and militarizing the border has been ignored, and treated as an outsider position by Trump rather than the continuation of bi-partisan policy dating back decades? and it can be seen to reflect larger patterns of capital controlling people's movement in order to extract land, labor, wealth, and ultimately life from them?"
thank you so much for this well-researched response tho because, as a texan, the very concept that trump invented the idea of the border wall made me kinda. reboot. not mad at op! just surprised at the difference in our life experiences

Transphobia is being signed into law in the UK. Let's fight it together.
I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the rescheduled Mass Lobby at Parliament, now on Wed Sept 9th, 1pm-5pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a con
The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It became statutory guidance in the UK on August 5th, 2026.
Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.
A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Our demands have changed. Ask your MP to:
Write to Ministers and Prime Minister Andy Burnham to say they are profoundly concerned by the rolling back of trans rights, and that they believe that it is time for Parliament to legislate to protect equality for trans people.
Ask parliamentary questions focused on protecting trans people’s rights and defending trans people’s abilities to live safe and dignified lives.
Speak up both inside and outside Parliament in defence of trans people’s rights.
Meet regularly with trans constituents to understand their lived realities.
Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.
I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.
We have already had some wins because we took action. The 2026 EHRC guidance has already rolled back its most harmful elements because of mass campaigning by individuals like us, and groups like The Good Law Project. This summer, 166 MPs signed the Early Day Motion 240 to reject the EHRC Code of Practice, because of our campaigning. That is 1 in 4 MPs.
It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
Worried about what to say?
Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. On the day, you'll get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.
Here is an online briefing for lobbyists (10 mins read for essential info, 20 mins for details)
Money issues?
Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.
Got a refusal or no response from your MP?
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if they’re already in Parliament. Even if they don’t, they’re made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.
Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:
Organisations can’t provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination. e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, men’s rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee. If you’re a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from women’s bathrooms if you’re perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a ‘third space’ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73). A women’s only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).
Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ‘lesbian’, and therefore no longer have legal protections if they’re discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).
Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.
Sign up for the mass lobby and email your MP here, or click the main link above.
If you are not in the UK but want to support the case, please donate to The Good Law Project.
Save the date and book off work!! I will see you there :))
I'm old enough to remember GamerGate and the rise of "Anti-SJW" slop (yes, I know it was only 10 years ago). You know who the cliché "cringe SJW feminist" was? What they painted women and queer people who fought for their rights as, in order to ridicule and silence them?
Pixie cuts. Body hair. Either buff or fat. Violent. No makeup. Deep voice. Small breasts. Usually lesbian. Either a butch cis woman, a trans man, or a trans woman with exaggerated "manly" features like a beard or a cartoonishly pornographic bulge.
But sure, the Patriarchy always rewards masculinity no matter what. Keep believing that.
"Either a butch cis woman, a trans man, or a trans woman" and nonbinary people. Let's not forget about who "I identify as an attack helicopter!" was particularly mocking, & generally how much binary non conforming pronouns and presentation was targeted. What's being described above is textbook misandrogyny.
If you spend any time on facebook, they are still doing it. The latest phrase is "liberal white women are destroying [democracy usually but sometimes it's the world or the United States or whatever but it doesn't even have to be relevant to the conversation, just whatever meme they have on hand]" and it is the same images, although often these are separate from images and cartoons of trans women because those caricatures are only ever reserved for being referred to as men (or other slurs, but never referred to as women), but the depiction is the same. Fat or otherwise large, hairy, colored hair, facial hair to some degree, glasses, facial piercings, often depicted with animal features like pig noses, small or flat or flabby breasts, wide shoulders, etc.
not to "trying to be chill but can't help noticing how misogyny bleeds through the cracks etc etc" but once you realize that almost none of the cute disney comic relief sidekicks are women you can't unsee it. like that thing only exists to do some slapstick and look cute for plushies. why can't it be a woman. why are ALL of them he/him. it's driving me fucking insane
here let's look at JUST the disney princess lineup. almost all of them have exclusively male sidekicks. cinderella has female mice hanging with her but they are significantly less present in the story AND marketing than jaq and gus, her male horse and dog, and even fucking lucifer. the only princess i can think of with significant female sidekicks is belle, and that's 1) the Mom™, 2) the wardrobe with barely any merch or screentime, and 3) the maid with barely any merch or screentime, all of which pale in comparison to the attention lumiere, cogsworth and chip get. sisu is more of a sub-protagonist than a sidekick so that leaves raya with her male tuktuk.
what are the other female sidekicks i can think of? uh the pig from black cauldron who doesn't even do any slapstick. LIVE-ACTION scuttle. the star from wish doesn't have a gender ig. one (1) of the five other major animals in hoppers. like literally once you ask yourself "why did rapunzel's chameleon have to be he/him-ed" you just don't stop thinking about it. does the animated jasmine have any female friends
i've been thinking a lot about how people treat me when they think i have no spice tolerance. this is a little bit a stolen valor thing, because my spice tolerance isn't actually that bad--it's not fantastic, but i've been known to enjoy a buffalo sauce or a pickled jalapeno or so on. but if you tell people you don't like black pepper, their first response is usually something like "wow, your spice tolerance is that bad???", often followed by some kind of mockery. my actual problem with black pepper is that it tastes terrible and has a godawful aftertaste (i use white pepper in my cooking instead and sincerely recommend trying it if you don't like black pepper), but no one really considers that a possibility. it couldn't possibly be a preference; it has to be a weakness, a failure of a character. it's considered acceptable to make fun of someone for their low spice tolerance. it's considered acceptable to expect them to just grit their teeth and eat what everyone else is eating with no accommodations. it's considered acceptable to compare them negatively to children, and you should all know by this point how much i hate when children are used as rhetorical tools in this way.
like i said, my spice tolerance isn't that bad. but i have a friend who has no spice tolerance. at all. if something has even a little bit of spice, they're going to have a bad time. and what i've learned is that there is a level of spice where people will almost universally consider anything below it "not spicy", even if there is a detectable spice level. black pepper, for all that people love to jump to conclusions about my own spice tolerance in relation to it, is not considered spicy. if you ask "is this spicy?" about a food which contains (even quite large amounts of) black pepper, people will say "no." but it is spicy; it contains black pepper, which has a spice level.
so something is labeled mild. it's on a menu that uses little pictures of peppers to denote spiciness and it has no pepper next to it. someone says it's not spicy. is it actually not spicy? i've been training myself to detect very small levels of spice--or rather, i've always been able to tell when there are very small levels of spice. what i've been training myself to do is consciously notice when there are very small levels of spice. i'm able to warn my friend about foods i wouldn't have considered spicy a few years ago. they very graciously tried a fry i deemed "just barely spicy" in order to confirm my assessment, and they said i was exactly correct, and i'm feeling very smug about it. but these weren't the fries labeled "spicy fries" on the menu, you know?
i've been turning it over, and the best metaphor i've got is that most people think of spiciness as something that should be measured like celsius when really it should be measured like kelvin. we shouldn't arbitrarily put the 0 level, the "this doesn't count as spicy" label, somewhere spicy that we culturally think is the level at which no one reasonable will be bothered by the spice level. we should put it at actual 0, an actual complete lack of spice. the correct answer to "is this spicy" should frequently be "only a little bit" instead of "no". people with extremely low spice tolerances deserve our consideration, not our mockery. this is a food restriction it wouldn't be difficult to be more thoughtful about, one that you could measure with your tastebuds instead of having to check ingredients lists. you just have to pay attention to what you're actually tasting instead of what you've been told to label it.
This all makes a lot of sense, but I think it runs into a really deep and fundamental problem:
We don't know what the fuck "spicy" is.
Like, empirically, we simply aren't sure what people are reacting to, so far as I know? Like, we know most peppers have capsaicin in them, in black pepper it's "piperin", and I have no idea whether there are other chemicals that also produce this response!
"I'm gonna acknowledge an experience lots of young trans men and mascs with estogenized breasts go through and consider there's a lot of issues you face regarding estrogenized bodies you don't want including being barred from modifying them for your comfort, but if you tag this with the tag you use to talk about these things I'm gonna kill you and use your money to fund a weapon to genocide a whole group of people- it's ok I can pretend I'm including cis people when I say tme's, I'm bery smart actually"
Actual joke. This is a whole goddamn comedy cast. A mime show. A circus.

Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.
Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.
