Pinkie Pie w/ Depression

man when will the harry potter fandom die. like not only is the author cartoonishly evil, I have to keep blocking people for bringing harry potter bullshit into completely unrelated works? get your transphobic children’s book obsession out of my good nasty gay fanfiction

We have to keep telling people what happened. Most don’t know, and her PR team isn’t helping. And figure out how to explain to kids related to us since the idea of bursting their bubble and starting that identity crisis feels mean, especially if we are cis.

”twenty thousand last meals on an exploding station” is a short story I read a while ago that still has one of the most unique scifi takes on transition I’ve ever seen. the protagonist has transitioned from a human to a cyborg mermaid and although people discriminate against her she loves her body and her community. also she’s trapped in a time loop trying to eat at every restaurant on the space station before her sister rescues her

this character basically has gender euphoria from her scifi augments and now every time I read a book with a character who has extreme cyborg modifications I’m like “but do they like it? how does it fit with their personal image of their body? do they have a community?”

Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things

Jobs like lifeguarding and food service are so weird, because they SEEM simple and are treated as simple, but every bit of training you actually DO for the job is like "if you mess up even a little bit, people could die. Here's 10 easy mistakes that could kill someone!" And you are expected to carry the weight of this responsibility for a mere $15/hour.

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

My bestie does that with lemons
