There Is No 19th Person!

i want to see some absolutely dogshit, piss-poor renaissance paintings.

ik the masters were great and everything, but not everyone back then could have been a master. i need some frame of reference over here.

[valdevia]

May I introduce you to "The Ricotta Eaters" (1585), a painting I could only describe as Ontologically Evil:

I know it's technically competent, but it just has a horrid aura surrounding it. I don't even care about disrespecting the Italian master Vincenzo Campi anymore, he should have looked at this painting and destroyed it like a sick beast.

They’re eating ricotta in a way we did NOT choose to continue

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another

[pawberri]

Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots

[pawberri]

"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men 🥺" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u 🥺" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you

there’s a Masters of the Universe billboard near the cafe i like and i need to find a picture of this particular design because just describing how shitty it is won’t convey anything

[cheaphalloweencostume]

okay there’s no pictures of it online because no one gives a shit but imagine: i can’t drink my coffee without making eye contact with the gigantic shitty visage of Jared Leto Skeletor. however, they’ve completely rendered him bland. tasteless. he’s not green or yellow and has like no purple on him. so it’s just Skeletor’s head in his hood, a plain white skull in a black hood, so it looks like Spirit Halloween. and he has 2 red lightbulbs in his eyes

very fast rendition of how it feels

[bluering8]

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

[powerbottombrucespringsteen]

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”

[emnesoi0]

the problem with visual novels is that they are novels, but they are almost exclusively sold on video game distribution platforms, which means that they're novels being read by gamers who are by and large entirely unequipped to critique that medium

Estro Junkies paperback update!

Hey everyone, I wanted to let y'all know that Estro Junkies, currently available on Amazon as an ebook and paperback, and as an ebook on Itch and other storefronts, is now available as a paperback through Ingram!

Cool! What does that mean?

Estro Junkies is self-published. I can't have warehouses full of books. IngramSpark is a print-on-demand service, an alternative to Amazon, through which bookshops can place orders to stock physical copies of my book.

So will Estro Junkies be in bookshops now?

Sort of? I'll be reaching out to places like queer bookshops to inquire if they'd like to stock Estro Junkies, but I'm not a publisher so I have limited reach. However, if you inquire at your local bookshop, they can probably order you a copy of Estro Junkies, and maybe even stock a couple if they like it. Also, if you have any suggestions for bookshops I can reach out to who might be interested in stocking Estro Junkies, I'd be happy to hear them.

Thank you again to everyone who's supported Estro Junkies for a wonderful book launch, and I hope more of you can get your hands on a physical copy if you like!

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

Translating "otokonoko" uniformly as "trap" has probably had a pretty devastating effect on the average English-speaking anime fan's perception of the genre and subculture.

Like you go to the Japanese wikipedia page for otokonoko and it's got this diagram explaining "yea it covers a wide range, from people who just want to be cute, to people who just want feminine presentation, to those who aim to be fully female".

Could you imagine if people decided [assorted Ru Paul quotes go here] meant that drag was inherently disrespectful and dangerous?

[aokozaki]

Just found out about the manga "The Trap Corrupted By The Boys' School", famous for the author transitioning and bragging about her breast growth, and wow is this such a great example of the problem, because the JP title does indeed use "otokonoko".

Reading comprehension in-class essay that asks, hey, does this author's use of otokonoko line up with the "tricking people with their presentation" definition zone of otokonoko culture?

Unfortunately, my wife will die — this is what awaits her if help does not arrive today.

I am writing now so that this sentence does not become our reality tonight while she is still breathing.

I hold my wife close, counting her breaths, bargaining with time.

Donations are scarce; every second matters.

Please, stop.

Share, donate now. Your kindness could change tomorrow and keep her alive today please, now.

Silence is killing my wife faster than her pain.

Every ignored post steals minutes from her life.

I beg you, stop here: donate, share, choose compassion before this silence becomes her ending.
