Revolting little machine I hope someone guy fawkeses you too.
(Context: was trying to find the text of a version of the Guy Fawkes poem which ends 'are we glad that they stopped him or not?' Was not expecting this thing to run defence for the UK parliament 400 years ago)
Btw, if you ever wanted an indicator of the ideological censorship that now exists, and how pervasive it has become? The poem I was looking for, with its implication that maybe it might not have been a bad thing to blow up parliament way back when, was published in a children's book two decades ago. Without incident. Now I can't even SEARCH for that poem without receiving a telling off for its contents.
Everyone say thank you Terry Deary for inviting small children to consider whether we should have exploded every politician in the country.
i love making art
Gonna be so funny when Trump dies of heat stroke in the middle of his 4th of July speech and topples off the podium with a sad little thud
Yeah but then he's the one in the car
I think it’s normal for people to be mad at each other sometimes even if they’re close friends or family or intimate with each other. Like I think that’s a normal and healthy part of relationships that can happen sometimes
“Why were you on Mad At Me island” because at the time I was mad at you and yet our friendship has weathered that without trouble
I went to Mad At You island because my feelings are my problem. I needed to stomp down the beach until I could sit and watch the sunrise. I built a sandcastle and did some thinking. Then I boarded the good ship You Matter To Me and sailed it all the way to meet you on the Let’s Talk Shore of I Love You Island.
let’s talk about how they made it impossible to function without a phone and digitalised everything and then turned around and went “actually! these phone things aren’t safe for kids but it’s magically ok once you’re eighteen. guess you’ll have to have your life dictated by your parents now lol cause we’re gonna take the devices away from you. IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING”
ok my apologies. take away my ability to buy anything too ig because these fuckass stores don’t accept cash anymore. take away my ability to communicate with people outside my house and school because I can’t text and I can’t email and I cant drive to them either and I can’t even fucking get public transport without a phone either. can’t order at a fucking restaurant without being asked to get a membership and install an app and also very sorry but you can only order through our online menu now! have you ever considered that it’s not just about instagram?
*trying to pitch public transportation to Americans* it’s like a legal form of texting while driving
And just as I predicted, I’ve came across approximately 3x as many “I’m a beta reader and these are my rates” posts just in this evening compared to what I normally see in a month’s time. Surely I’m not the only one who knew this would be a thing after the recent Claudapocalypse
((tldr for folks not in the know: a new ao3 skin was created to flag remnants of claude.ai code))
I’d just like to take a sec to remind folks, especially those new to writing or who are tackling fics larger than they know how to manage just yet, that if someone makes their entire identity about how you can pay them to read your works, you’re better off staying away.
Best case scenario, they’re legit. Worst case scenario, you’re throwing money into the abyss for crickets. But they’re most likely case scenario? They’re gonna run your fic through the very same AI mess that you’re trying to avoid and you’re going to pay them to do it
There are actual betas out there. Look for those that can’t stop talking about their favs, not accounts that popped up 2 days ago and immediately started asking for money. Remember that you’re writing for yourself first and fandom second, but being active in your fandom comes with perks
“But Attie, my fandom’s so small!” “But Attie, no one cares about these characters”
That may be true. Then branch out to other fandoms you’re in. Read and comment on what you like. Speaking from personal experience, some of my most thoughtful comments have came from folks that know jack shit about Pokemon but who returned the favor after i interacted with their work. Sometimes unbiased opinions are the very thing you need
Making this its own post since it was getting a bit beyond that poll:
Genuinely I don't feel like the trans community has ever had to meaningfully reckon with exorsexism. There's all this fucking yapping about smashing the gender binary and how cool and sexy this androgynous (cis) rockstar is, but when it comes down to it people want to cling to the binary. Because it affirms their own gender. Because it allows them to bond with cis people. Because it makes them feel normal and real and natural. Binary trans people oftentimes only want to challenge the parts of the gender binary that directly impede THEIR ability to socially claim womanhood/manhood, but will not actually challenge it anywhere else.
It comes back to the fact that cissexism and the patriarchy itself are built on the gender binary & oppositional sexism, but a lot of binary trans people (particularly those who pass and are gender conforming), knowingly or not, have this attitude of "but why do THEY (cis people) get to play with that, and I don't???" Because they are men/women, and all those OTHER men and women can simply float on the exorsexist social current without ever thinking twice about it.
There is inherently some exorsexism in all transphobia, but if you can narrate yourself and your experiences through the language of the binary, you get a level of social acceptance that other trans people (including many, many binary/-aligned trans people, and intersex people) do not. And that's why binary aligned trans people then turn around and start blaming nonbinary people and GNC trans people and anyone who continues inflaming exorsexist society for how trans people are treated.
Because to be cis is to be binary, and so, so much of trans activism has been about telling cis people that we are just like them—just regular men and women, trapped in the opposite sex body. And nonbinary people fundamentally cannot and generally will not do that. We are asking cis people to respect us and acknowledge that our genders are just as valid even if they are completely foreign to cis people, even if they are undeniably, fundamentally trans in a way that cannot be renegotiated into cisness.
That is not to say that binary trans people are less radical or less trans—there are many binary trans people I know and love who fucking hate the idea of conforming to cisness in any way. And they get fucked over by exorsexism big time. The language I'm using here (nonbinary vs binary) is itself fundamentally flawed given the actual complexity of exorsexism, but I'm feverish so I'm unfortunately not going to invent an improved paradigm in this post.
My point is that I tried so damn hard to make myself make sense to binary people. I spent years of my life knowing I was trans and torturing myself because no matter what I came out as, I always felt like a liar, nothing ever fit. I tried to be a nonbinary lesbian the way everyone wants, I tried to be a trans man in the way everyone wants, I tried to be neutral but y'know not making a big deal out of it or anything (and of course neutral people don't have any sexuality, because the minute you have a sexuality you have to align yourself with the binary, hence the "not making a big deal out of it"). I tried and tried and tried to not be a thorn in the side of the exorsexism that's so prevalent not just in society but in the trans community, I tried not to make my gender a problem for everyone. I only felt real stability and safety and humanity in myself through my gender once I let myself be how I actually am and quit cherrypicking my identity based around what wouldn't upset the implicit but STRONG gender binary in trans spaces. And it's really just so frustrating seeing binary trans people who don't ever think for a second about any of this, and even more other nonbinary people who are able to narrate themself in a way that appeals to exorsexism, all of whom act like nonbinary people who can't or won't do that are just causing problems for fun.
Nonbinary people should be at the center of not just trans activism but all anti-patriarchal activism, not to the exclusion of anybody else but because nonbinary identity so fundamentally challenges how we think about and navigate gender and its role in our society. Nonbinary people, as ourselves, CANNOT assimilate into normal society without normal society fundamentally changing how it engages with gender. And instead of seeing that as being an incredible potentiality for social change, we CONSTANTLY have OTHER TRANS PEOPLE acting like this is a huge burden on the whole community. Like what the fuck.
