this zine may not be about you. for a long time these thoughts were in my brain but only to lovingly yell at my friends. this zine may be about you but not helpful to you at this time. i hope it's helpful to some though.

if you like this zine you may also like the body neutrality movement. and the song "can't go back" by the crane wives, which i kinda quoted as well. leave the rest behind.

this is part of my project to make a zine a day in april

some things that didn't fit in this zine were:

you gotta learn. you gotta learn that learning doesn't mean feeling bad.

it doesn't help you act right to feel bad about previous things. guilt is useful to a point. that point is reached when you know what you did wrong

okay but seriously what's going on with [tumblr] moderation right now

capnsoapy

okay but seriously seriously

capnsoapy

Not even in an "I'm outraged" kind of way, in a "genuinely perplexed as to what could be going on behind the scenes to produce these outcomes." I want to stop staring at the shadows on the wall and exit Plato's allegory of the website moderation

genuinely all it wonders as it gets banned multiple times a *day* is. what the fuck is happening to make them respond so actively to kill girls with maybe a hundred followers. why? why *right* now? like *this*. it just cant comprehend the cruelty.

tumblr moderation is two thirds AI and two thirds transmisogyny and 0% anything that isn't at least one of those two

can we just leave girls blogs the fuck alone and not constantly nuke mutuals blogs like every single day

i love that sakurai on two separate occasions has been like "what the fuck are those? i dont know. no one knows. they simply are"

I can do a pretty good English Dub Ash Ketchum impression that has never really benefited me much but it's there on the table for me

i was so impressed by you doing it at the beginning of our first voice call that ive dated you for like a year and a half now

It was because we were reading character lines in an rpg maker game!! don't make it sound like i just whip it out like a party trick... it was contextually relevant...

winged-void

you said randomly "listen what i can do!" and did it and i sent marissa this immediately

One time I was standing around outside with some ppl (idr what we were doing) and I was very very sleepy so I did a big dramatic yawn like a kitty cat.

And this lady came out of the group, very angry, amd shouted at me: "Hey! Cover your fucking mouth when you do that!"

I (1) had never before been told that one ought to cover one's mouth when one yawns and (2) was much too sleepy to conduct discourse on the matter, so I in socratic fashion replied ". . . What?"

And then she said a sentence that I will remember for the rest of my life. She said: "If you yawn without covering your mouth again, I will report you for sexual harassment."

To which I retorted: ". . . What?"

And she narrowed her eyes at me suspicious-like and said "I know what you're trying to do" and she walked away and I never saw her again.

To this day I wonder what indescretion I'm meant to have committed. Do I yawn hornily? Did I put too much cunt in my yawn and so got mistaken for some sort of yawn fetishist? I Do Not Know.

You have to still love that girl when she hits her wall mid conversation and you see the light leave her eyes

one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal is the ability to be normal about stuff. be normal about sex. be normal about bodies. be normal about sex work. be normal about peoples kinks. and then, most importantly, when someone gets prudish, or puritanical, or conservative, recognize that you are the normal one in the conversation, and act like it.

"You think she should be ashamed? that's weird man. why do you care so much. You think that's gross? okay... kinda weird that you care though. you found out about her kinks? what are you, like, stalking her or something? what, you think her job sucks 'cause it involves sex? what's it got to do with you? you're really obsessed with other people man, it's kinda creepy."

the duality of shame and normalcy is not static. you get to decide what is normal and what is shameful, and you can do it by your own standards. If you let someone else make that decision for you, you're ceding more ground than you could possibly know.

so funny to me when white american christians are like “ooh i incorporate my religious trauma into my art and thats why i draw these stained glass gothic church gold multi eyed reneissance sculpture angels agnus dei” like i know your protestant southern california ass didnt have any of that. go make some art about this
