Monster Mash

dude.

Today is 8th of March, 2026, it is 4:20pm. I've been meaning to put down my phone and do assignments all day, or to get out of bed and I have not. This has been the pattern of the last month.

Trans liberation now, trans unity now.

We have always been here, we will always be here, we will outlast the hateful.

horseshit is false, unreliable, and horses are very reliable. bullshit is also false, but carries an additional implication of trickery, while bulls are extremely straightforward and guileless.

I think I realized this when I had went to see my dad and stepmom one day and asked if I could place my hawk’s food. (A rabbit leg) in the freezer. My step mom was disgusted by the idea that a leg from an animal was in the freezer meanwhile an entire chicken was sitting in the fridge.

Your rotisserie chicken is an entire chicken.

Your pork chop is a hunk of pig.

Your rack of ribs are from a cow’s rib cage.

It’s like Americans view meat as colorful red and pink hued shapes that just exist and come into the world packaged.

You see so many people getting harassed or even having their content flagged for showing how to process or field dress meat when it’s at it’s freshest. Right after culling. For some reason this is considered “gore” by many folks when in reality it’s no more different from plucking a processed chicken after cull.

You also notice that Americans have an idea of what’s normal meat and what isn’t normal meat and there’s racist undertones that I’ve noticed in a lot of these comments left on foreign cooking videos

You have people that claim a video of a man in a different country preparing something like this is “eating a dog.” Meanwhile this is roasted goat.

You have people who’s only perception of an edible fish is in fillet or fish stick form and they call something like this nasty because “Eww there’s a head!” Yeah.. most animals have heads..

If you aren't any one of those and your first thought is, "But sometimes it's upsetting/anxiety inducing/disturbing to look at." Then I think you might have to think beyond yourself (not in a shaming way, but as genuine introspective), or just not engage in the Internet.

Bodies that don't fit the non-scared body standard or that don't look "normal" to societal standard are still humans that do have normal bodies.

Imagine having scarring and already being self-concious and having people put "Trigger warning: body horror and scars." Like your body comes with a warning because it's so upsetting to look at and everyone should be warned before they show a person who looks like you.

This is especially true online and I think people need to understand when they may be becoming overly entitled.

Seeing a person with self-harm scars and the video is nothing about self-harm, but then commenting, "Please put a warning for your scars," When you are in complete control to scroll isn't okay.

On the internet, you can scroll, block, restrict, or do other things before you ever have to engage in content that upsets you and 2. Make others feel bad about something normal they have (yes, even if its upsetting or triggering for you, because that's their appearance and you can choose to engage in that content or not.)

If you want to live in the comfortability that everyone's bodies have to not be reminiscent of anything atypical or "upsetting" or that people always need to accomodate for something you should work on, then that's a society where disabled/different people/scarred/burned people can't exist and you're opting for that over facing your own discomfort or finding coping skills.

It's completely okay to be triggered by something, as it's tied to trauma (triggers aren't just things you find a bit uncomfortable or things you dislike; its related to trauma); you can't control that. It's okay to be uneasy, squeamish, or feel another type of uncomfortable feeling; you can't control that.

But it's never okay to make others feel bad about their body, tell them to hide, or make them suit your needs in a way that makes them live quieter and sadder.

Scroll, block, disengage, don't look, or don't stare.
