Not Alive And Loving It

next Sunday night I’m hanging myself and none of you can stop me

NO I AM NOT GOING TO KILL MYSELF NEXT SUNDAY I HAVE FANFICS TO UPLOAD BEFORE THAT AFTER I AM DONE UPLOADING MY FANFICS I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF

this website is always on some stupid insular drama where some idiot blogger named poobster-498 has said something controversial and stupid and then the most mediocre critical thinkers of the website get together and decide that everybody in the world can be categorized into pro-poobster or anti-poobster camps. and they invent fake slurs for each other like the pro-poobsters are called poobshits and the anti-poobsters are called pooblerites. and people will send you asks demanding that you clarify where you stand on poobster and "I've never heard of this person and I don't care about this at all" is an unacceptable answer to either side of this inane drama and automatically fashions you into a member of whichever opposing camp. when in reality you just truly have no idea who the fuck poobster-498 even is.

[laughing] oh, sorry, no thanks, I’m good, my sexuality is completely devoid of socially mediated fantasies predicated on the ubiquity of power and subjugation, and of symbols in general

My unpopular sci-fi/fantasy opinion is that "humans are the best community-builders" is just the old "humans have the greatest Will to Power" trope wearing a progressive hat.

Sometimes “locking in” looks like sitting in the sun and remembering that your life is also meant to be lived, not just optimized, monetized, and turned into proof that you’re worthy.

it's like, definitely still mansplaining if the man is dominating the conversation unintentionally and he would totally stop if you asked him to, actually. like, the term exists to describe a phenomenon that arises from the implicit bias that women are expected to simply be less knowledgeable about things. it doesn't matter if he's doing it on purpose or not. he does it cause he expects women to not know things or to not have any input. maybe don't fucking expect women to stand up for themselves every single time they have to have a conversation with a man because that shit happens like daily for a lot of women
