Look for the Helpers @aresmarked - Tumblr Blog

apparently it's not enough that it's in the header

if you are not a supporter of trans folk, nonbinary folk, queer folk, two-spirited folk, or any other folk who bear a different name and a specific identity that springs from their culture, you are not a 'radical feminist' in any way, you're just enforcing the same old colonial gender expectations and you are not welcome here

#some 'radfem' reblogged a post and i got a fullbody shudder #go fucking read about other cultures and identities that have existed with em jesus

unrealized realities chatting + screenshot dump:

smiling serenely at every word of these sentences

it sneaks up on you because her look is relatively understated but nasti lunorey is like really incredibly hot okay you have to understand this. the woman takes off her hard hat sits on the ground and offers you a bite of a ration bar you sincerely thought was an actual brick at first. i would also eat the ration bar out of her hand i'm with you on this one mercia.

she's fucking awesome pt. 1

i know her favorite are the make-your-tongue-bleed sour ones

she tech-upgraded her bone pen and she does fucking dot-matrix incantations. she's fucking awesome pt. 2

.tar.gz

she's fucking awesome pt. 3. this is a woman who watched kristen wright do that and took it to heart.

no...! nasti would never have that much affect...!

cool to see how they met. i love how quick she is to go 'no, i'm just doing what i do. no big expectations.' while kristen is like lmao but you ARE trying to change the fate of the sarkaz girl

she's fucking awesome pt. 4. she's just really cool.

champion-grade 'tell me what arknights is about' image

this is just a really good line. it's also where i'm going to pause the screenshot dumping to talk about a thing i like in this story and in a lot of arknights stories. it's *really really easy* to satirize the US. basically all you have to do is to look at any aspect of it and go 'look.' and you're there, you've reached satire. getting from there to *good* satire that doesn't just deflate like a day-old souffle into Americans Are Just Uniquely Stupid or HaHa Poor People is a lot harder.

this story manages it by 1) having actual respect for ordinary people 2) keeping the satire focused on the things actually worth satirizing (self-sabotage by corporate and government infighting, crass commercialism, the fact that our culture is just saturated with scams) and 3) a thing they do a bunch which i really like where they blend multiple eras of a given nation/set of nations in the storytelling to draw parallels between them, strengthen the aesthetic and speculative sides of their storytelling, and make the points they're making stand out more sharply by taking them out of their original aesthetic context.

in this story for example they're drawing a big bright sharp line between the optimism of early-20th-century attitudes around technology crashing headlong (and being repurposed) into cold war era xenophobia, and turn-of-the-millennium optimism similarly being contorted into militant nationalist sentiment after 9/11, fanned by warhawks and profiteers alike. a whole country of reckless passion all too easily turned toward brutal ends. absurd and flying free.

okay analysis minute is over this was hot.

yeah my evil and intimidating horse (boss) invented horseshoes in a world where they don't exist. no they don't hurt.

#mumumoments

yeah my evil and intimidating horse (boss) was late to the meeting because he walked from NYC to DC. no we had a car he just wanted to break in his hoof-irons (not a thing (only he does this (evil and intimidating)))

saria's really settling in to being control. so like her to still be planning on making up for the cocktail party they missed because kristen laika'd herself and nearly destroyed the company.

this event was really good! they've still got it when it comes to americana. nasti is really great and i love how all of her analytical professionalism and low affect still comes with this grounding undercurrent of deep care for people. she hears about a bunch of testing staff being let go after a company folds and she scraps a ton of her work to ensure they aren't just left to fend for themselves. one of her horns doesn't grow right and it's probably because she had to pin it down and cover it with bird feathers to pose as a liberi in laterano. she loves her mom. she even gives ranged units +40% ATK and max HP. she can do it all.

pacific rim fucks severely for a lot of reasons but my favorite is that it opens with "the lizard aliens are unionizing so we built robots running on the power of love to fight them you got all that right" and before you have time to really process that concept bam gunshot body on the floor and the movie goes "now consider the vast power of grief in this setup" it never really stops considering

ok not to be that guy but like. labor rights and working class rights can coexist with 24h services and late amenities. its certainly hard to do so without worker exploitation in this political and social environment, it’s not a conflict likely to resolve overnight. but 24h services are important and especially valuable to those of us that are disabled or are on a different circadian rhythm. in fact more professional, health, and government services should be available or at least possible to work on asynchronously (if applicable) during late or odd hours, while workers also get sufficient pay for their labor and proper consistent scheduling. this would be much easier on the workers with night schedules if the entire professional world didn’t grind to a halt at 5pmEST

The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity

ive been thinking about how some trans spaces and media lack representation of bottom surgery and itd be nice if we could talk about and depict it more. but my attempts to formulate this into a coherent thought lead me to standing in front of the microwave idly thinking "we should normalize men with penises" as if thats a brave new frontier nobody has ever considered.
