i love the level of friendship that is "would you like early access to the porn that i'm writing"

i think if I was really really upset by bobby dying i'd be pissed that the show is going in such a wild direction after minear saying his death was for the sake of realism or whatever, but since I wasn't that sad I am instead clapping my hands in glee. send those public servants to space, fuck yeah.

"if we can't remove people from a space based on sex or gender, how do we make sure people in the group stay safe from assholes?" if you can have an enforceable "no men" rule in a queer space you could probably have an enforceable "no assholes" rule instead. it's pretty easy actually. it's actually easier to tell if someone is an asshole based on their actions than their gender, in my experience.

awesome??? awesome?? everyone else go home. and come back with swords.

Ditto from the roller derby world. People often wonder, isn't it dangerous playing a contact sport with trans women? And I say, well, no, because if you adopt a rule of banning people who play dangerously, you keep everyone much safer than you do if you exclude people based on trans status and think that's fixed it.

I actually went to a 3 day open to all derby tournament a few months ago (as an art vendor, not a player), and the sheer queer joy in the room was awesome. It really is wonderful to see people of all genders & body types playing a high contact sport together and having a great time doing it. It proves emphatically that everything terfs, radfems, transphobes & gender essentialists want you to believe about the "trans sports debate" is dead fucking wrong. The danger doesn't come from welcoming one another. The danger is in not assessing people on their actual behaviour in a space.

ok actually wait Mr Evan "I don't even like flying domestically" Buckley was fully prepared to do flying lessons with Tommy just to spend time with him and get his attention

Fandom needs to go back to it’s roots of shipping without any expectation of canon agreement, shipping characters that have never even met, shipping characters from entirely different properties that came out decades apart, shipping just for fun, and generally speaking mostly not bothering the creators about it. Put fandom back in the shadows, being profitable has only made everything worse as grifters saw easy marks and forcing creators to play pattycake with fandom has led to so much open resentment.

Everyone should read their own fanfics recreationally tbh this shit fucking rules. It's like the author knows exactly what I like.

why doesn’t that bitch ever update 😭

reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts

headcanons are all well and good, and are a great way for fandom to interact with a piece of media, but the minute you start praising or lauding something for representation that is purely fanon you have sincerely lost the plot

You can be depressed and not feel sad or blue. Depression can also be a haze of sleepiness, distractedness/obsessiveness cycles, and a twinge of irritability that can be hard to recognize because you might already be a “fiery” person. It can feel like a lazy Sunday that keeps imposing itself for weeks or months.

Can we just… I’ll leave this here.

and also a numbness. Not necessarily sad but no emotions whatsoever - just flat. Nothing is exciting, I can’t be bothered to be angry, nothing really even gets me to laugh. It’s all just “meh”.

reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore

FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.

Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot

Don't you dare malign my girl again

Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently

We talk about how this website’s hate mail game is insane, but this might just be a new level
