Queer literally used to be a word for weird. If that messes with your precious sensibilities, I'd rather not associate with you.

Reminiscing about the time I used to be able to go on Tumbl.gov and see people drawing my favourite characters in fetish gear simply because artists thought it looked cool.

Yes, this post is about exploring the condition of being alive, but it is also about doing stuff for aesthetic satisfaction.

#artists should make stuff because they think it looks cool #I will enjoy it because I am a pervert #this is a mutually beneficial relationship

In the light of payment processors tightening their squeeze on free expression online I want to reiterate that I Still Want To See It and furthermore Artists Should Be Allowed To Draw It.

it’s funny how quickly you get desensitized to comic book nonsense like mister sinister is an insane name for a fictional character it’s so goofy but when i read his name i’m like this is not a laughing matter. we’re talking about cyclops’ traumatic secret laser beam eyeball orphanage surgery backstory. stop laughing.

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
