there is a very particular sense of entitlement abusive parents have over their afab kids bodies. a young closeted trans guy might go out and get a buzz cut and his mom will react as if she herself was forced at gunpoint to get her hair cut on top of losing all her limbs at the same time. yes. the reaction can look like this.

tumblrs fucked. twitter is a minefield. discord is enshittifying rapidly. mutuals dm me for my fucking email address i guess

Being forcefully raised as a woman is not any less traumatic and emotionally repressive as being forcefully raised as a man. Femininity is not inherently pure and safe. Coercing someone to perform femininity is not any less toxic than coerced masculinity. Being dysphoric around femininity or having trauma from women doesn’t make you a misogynist.

Reblog if it’s okay for your mutuals to tag you in random stuff they think you’ll like

In an effort to avoid supporting megacorporations, I shall now be posing questions directly to tumblr that I would otherwise have googled.

If Mayonnaise is just eggs and oil, why it creamy?

Because it's also evil

Yup! It’s anything that takes up space, has mass, and is goth.

You meet god

Whole, in one gulp.

Father of the Muffin Boy

Car's haunted

Slam into a priest in a crosswalk going at least forty miles an hour

into the sky, where it turns into stars

priest has to pay for medical bills related to haunted car crashing into him

....Ah

Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

Do you want to be politically pure in theory or help your neighbor. Is it fruitless to help your neighbor because there's no Perfect Pure way to do it ?

Honestly I would rather be politically pure. Your neighbors would never help you, so why help them?

Youre who this post is talking about. Individualism and elitism is not going to help the revolution and grassroots activism and mutual aid.

Solidarity is far more important and useful than purity.

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas

People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively

“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….

my manager and i have had conversations about this: he says a lot of people approach all media the same way they approach pornography, i.e. they want it to mirror back to them how they already feel or want to feel. the idea that the art might make you feel something new or different or unexpected, and the inherent risk of that, is scary to some folks sometimes

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

this is a fun post because people will say how many they have in the tags then you get to figure out which ones.
