A lot of people are rather interested in formulating some conception of what it is to be transgender, or something more specific, like transfeminine or transmasculine. These people spend a lot of their time trying to say something verbally or to reproduce this thing in some kind of artwork. The conclusion all of these people keep coming to is "being transgender is about being like me and my friends." You sometimes see, for example, people try to articulate transfemininity in terms of a kind of online grunginess with associated retinue of kinks or, among others, as flowing in combination with a kind of fandomy poptimism. And it comes with claims that "trans people love such and such" or "trans people relate to so and so." And I never see myself reflected in any of these things, because they're talking about them and their friends. Maybe the way into understanding a rather varied social phenomenon isn't just tirelessly probing your own subjectivity for another tired metaphor.

the first step to being a real genuine prime time hater is to be a lover. it may sound counterintuitive but if you don’t get it your haterism will always be uninspired, second rate, and pedestrian. Many such cases!

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously

People who get sick from radiation exposure are faking it for attention, radiation is literally the divine light of creation and it nourishes those who are pure of spirit

Art is a kind of surgery. Something must be removed from inside of you. The process will irreversibly change you but if you don't go through with it you will continue to be poisoned. Are you listening this is important. You have to do it yourself like in Saw

my favourite thing about the X Files is that time they ended an episode with Scully crying in a confessional booth saying 'I'm afraid that God is speaking and no one's listening' and the very next episode is about killer cockroaches
