btw “actual feminism” is trans inclusive and op of this tweet agrees :)

[s1xseasonsandamov1e]

becoming the oppressor is not liberation!!!!!

[shinesurge]

Guys if you want queer shit written by queers on our own terms you're going to have to start seeking out weird independent media. I'm sorry that's the only place you can regularly find it idk what to tell you, we can't keep acting like there's nothing if we're not getting blockbusters and triple A titles or whatever it is we're waiting around for. The thing you keep saying you want is already being offered for free by one person making a passion project on the internet and you would both benefit enormously if you interacted with it instead of lamenting that the only options we have for representation are pandering afterthoughts from corporate shit

[fandomsandfeminism]

I say this with so, so much care: Real queer shit written by real queers can and will sometimes make you uncomfortable. That's one of the defining features of weird, independent queer media. And weird independent media more broadly. Art that comes from true individual passion and authenticity has edges and bite to it that mass market corporate products intentionally do not. Has a rawness that can offend.

You are allowed to feel uncomfortable about it. But don't ask for queers to self censor for your comfort.

typewriter!

[theclockworkjudas]

I love the orchestra trying and failing to maintain a straight face throughout

[silly-jellyghoty]

Exactly. These people had to rehearse at least a few times all at once yet when it's nkt their turn to play they still look at that guy with the typewriter as if he was the most fascinating thing they have ever seen.

[ironwoman359]

My husband's wind ensemble played this song when he was in high school! you can do it with normal auxillery percussion, but it's so much more fun if you do it with a real typewriter

[alexseanchai]

now that is a writing mood

[whetstonefires]

they were really like, the only reasonable approach to this piece is to insert a clown at the center of the orchestra

[iconuk01]

If you're not playing Leroy Anderson's 1953 classic "The Typewriter" with an actual typewriter on stage... why would you even BOTHER?

From wiki

According to the composer himself, as well as other musicians, the typewriter part is difficult because of how fast the typing speed is: even professional stenographers cannot do it, and only professional drummers have the necessary wrist flexibility

We haven’t gotten enough mileage out of the phrase “cock-bongos” though.

[aro-culture-is]

Aro programmer culture is saying Error 404 about my own attraction all the time if it comes up.

(Error 404 is an error for when what you’re looking for is not found)

[raavenb2619]

Aro 404…

[partywithponies]

I love vague labels that make people go "but that's confusing" or "but that could mean anything" Good. Keep guessing lol

[partywithponies]

"Queer doesn't actually tell me anything" who says I wanted to tell you anything. Who even are you.

[sweetpea67]

I wasn’t on here during Ace Discourse (thank goodness) but sometimes I’ll read older posts from that time and a few things stick out to me:

The fact that this website is perpetually searching for a queer demographic that they can oppress and say is actually privileged. Trans without dysphoria, aro, polyam, bi, pan, xenogenders, mogai, enben, intersex, afab transfems, etc. I think right now the main target is trans men and transmascs more generally, but it’s the same old cycle and often the same exact people.

The fact that so many of the aphobes’ “arguments” were literally recycled homophobia: “You’re too young to know.” “Asexuality is nsfw.” “Asexuality is just a phase.” “You just say you’re ace because you think it’s quirky.”

The fact that even after the “discourse” stopped, the perpetrators looked back at it as “that cringy phase I had as a teenager” rather than “that time I bullied hundreds of random queer people for their identities and forced them back into the closet.” There were no apologies.

That literally no aspec person who has been on the Internet since before that time was left untouched, and that the entirety of online aspec culture has been forever altered from this hate wave.

That it was a gateway into radfem circles.

That some people tried to pit aspecs against mspecs because they thought we were opposites but instead mspecs turned out for aspecs a lot harder than many monosexuals ever did.

Objects as spaceships, by Eric Geusz

[cloudfreed]

My favorite is the fidget spinner space station. It almost feels like someone designed it first and then fidget spinners came out and now everyone laughs at it… instead of the other way around.

[nny11writes]

It’s Eric! He was one of my best friends in highschool!

He also does series of space cats, and one of the ones floating upside down and looking at you is based on my cat Ginger :D

The kitty herself, Ginger!

He’s a super cool dude and seeing his art on tumblr is nuts!

Check out his website, which includes an area to buy prints

You can see more of his work in general on Instagram

And buy T-Shirts too! 

God yeah I will hype him every chance I get lol!

[callmebliss-got-swamped]

O love how the one based on the sriracha bottle is still very clearly that but now with FIRE

[yanderehiro]

to start with I thought it was mocking real art from real franchises with what it looks like, it’s very accurate

[classicfern]

Brought to you by the same person who ordered the original 'congrats on the autism' cake (im marrying them, the biggest flex of my life), I now bring you the post-top surgery cake they ordered me

this is the official top surgery manifestation post. Like to charge, reblog to cast (or do neither and you will still get whichever gender affirming surgeries your heart desires, I am manifesting it for you free of charge 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵✨️)

“afab chests aren’t inherently sexu—” please say breasts please just say breasts please please please stop throwing the term “afab” around say tatas say titties say big bahoona bazingoroos if you must

[literallyaflame]

not to be that guy but if you’re talking about breasts, say breasts. if you’re talking about pregnancy, say pregnancy. you don’t have to bend over backwards coming up with wacky shit like “uterus-having pregnancy-carrier” or “afab presenting nipples” to be more inclusive. half the time, it’s not inclusive anyway. so just be specific. a person with breasts can simply be “a person with breasts.” it’s easy, it’s fun, it’s free

[hypokeimena]

#some trans men don’t have breasts. famously‚ there’s a surgery about it #some cis women don’t have breasts. the same surgery #some trans women do have breasts. famously #there are hormones and also surgery about it #some cis men have breasts. Gandalf for one (via @aurpiment)
