“Art is happening everywhere all of the time” but an awful lot of it seems to only ever happen in New York and London, doesn’t it?

I don't think I've ever seen anything that more perfectly replicates how psychosis feels. The latching onto/ascribing meaning to little details. The endless "searching..." as your brain tries to fit every real-life stimulus into its narrative of what's REALLY going on. The background preoccupation with real, ongoing emotional difficulty...

People often imagine psychotic delusions as being entirely dependent on hallucination, people seeing and talking to fully fleshed out, convincing looking characters. But delusion doesn't require hallucination at all. All it requires is the conviction that ordinary things are a puzzle to be solved, that there's meaning to be made... and that you're so close to understanding things that no one else knows.

Cartoon Network posting Steven Universe promos for Pride Month will never stop boiling my fucking blood.

Cartoon Network cancelled the show. They viciously and intentionally fucked over Rebecca Sugar, Ian Jones-Quartey, and the entire rest of the crew. It is documented in the SU art books and in multiple statements from Rebecca Sugar that pushing for the Garnet wedding is what caused the show to get cancelled. The crew had to FIGHT to get any episodes past the wedding. There was supposed to be so much more.

I recognize that the social media team is not the same as the executives making decisions, but holy fucking hell is it a special kind of infuriating. The network won't support the show while it airs, they won't support the crew in their attempts to add queer representation, but the second they can use the cancelled show for corporate Pride promos? Better believe they'll try to take credit for being progressive and queer-friendly, never mind how many queer artists and workers the company fucked over along the way.

people who don’t watch horror movies are SO confident that they know everything there is to know about the genre. like it’s okay to not know things. it’s okay if you don’t like friday the 13th or whatever. i promise you don’t need to make an ass out of yourself on the internet about it

[improbablecarny]

horror is an incredibly diverse genre, because there is potential horror in everything. it’s in nature, it’s in architecture and technology, it’s in human relationships, it’s in folklore, the past, the future, the mundane. there are horror movies from all over the world. it is straight up anti-intellectual to pretend that the handful of B slashers you’ve vaguely heard about comprise the totality of what horror has to offer. If you’re just not interested in horror, or if you dislike certain subgenres of horror, then that’s fine, you’re not obligated to like anything at all. but smugly announcing that you don’t like horror because you dislike a handful of VERY specific non-universal tropes is just as stupid as saying that you hate comedy because you don’t like adam sandler movies.

[improbablecarny]

this is what I mean by anti-intellectualism btw

"gen ai output can never be considered art" I fundamentally disagree with you about what art is but I can understand what makes a person hold this opinion

"human creations can never be considered slop" you are a little newborn baby experiencing your very first day on the planet earth and aren't qualified to participate in any real discussions about art

i like how in the few minutes before i realize thers some video game announcement thing happening it just looks like all my mutuals sponmtaneously started to posit new ideas from the horrible dimension

Squidward's whole deal is that he was a scion of Old Money who got really into Marxism in college and decided he couldn't live with himself as a beneficiary of the Bourgeoisie. He cut ties with his parents and went to live as a proletariat for a few years to better his music.

Of course, what was supposed to be a short term service industry job before he lived for his art has bloomed into just being his life, and life as a poor artist is never as romantic as one imagines. While the cost of living of Bikini Bottom is low enough that even a frycook can be a homeowner, it's not quite so low that he can afford the luxuries he was used to growing up.

His view of the Working Class as the downtrodden masses were rather tattered by years of living between SpongeBob and Patrick, who were not so much temporarily oppressed intellectuals as they were, well, SpongeBob and Patrick.

Still, through thick and thin he's never gone back on his decision to leave the money behind. The great irony is that he is ignorant of his greatest achievement—his superiority to Squilliam isn't turning a bunch of randos into a functioning Marching Band or turning a burger joint into a fine dining establishment, it's having the strength of character to look at all the advantages Squilliam had and choose to leave it behind.

He will never be a master Clarinet player, but he will always have that

just got an email from Tumblr that a blog that exclusively posts stolen sex worker content does not violate any of their terms or whatever, so you're fully allowed to post literally any amount of your exposed body sans crotch. haha no it's only if it's stolen content and not your work and also you still can't be a trans woman on this site fuck you

[gazeldhazel]

most of the accounts posts do not have any mature content warning, which just makes it seem like their shitty algorithm for marking posts and blogs as mature is almost exclusively just a tranny detector at this point. so. really good site. I'm so happy to be here. yay. yay. haha. haha. ha.hah.ha.

[villainessbian]

Stolen trans porn is fully fine, trans women breathing isn't

[mousidy]

at this point a lot of you would cheer if terfs started pushing to relabel bathrooms as "afab" and "amab"

[mousidy]

the arguments for "afab only" spaces are identical in both form and function to terf bathroom arguments, the language used is just "progressive"

A straight woman sees a lesbian making positivity posts for lesbians. She feels insecure because she's not included, so she asks the lesbian if it's okay to be a straight woman. The lesbian would probably get frustrated by this. She might even roll her eyes, or playfully tell her no, it's not okay to be straight. Even though they are both women, it's easy to understand why this interaction was not misogynistic.

A disabled white man sees a disabled black man making positivity posts for disabled black people. He feels insecure because he's not included, so he asks the disabled black man if it's okay to be a disabled white man. The black man would probably get frustrated by this. He might even roll his eyes or playfully tell him no, it's not okay to be white. Even though they are both disabled, it's easy to understand why this interaction was not ableist.

A trans man sees a trans woman making positivity posts for trans women. He feels insecure because he's not included, so he asks the trans woman if it's okay to be a trans man. She gets frustrated. She probably rolls her eyes. She playfully tells him no, it's not okay to be a man. It should be easy to see why there's no issue with this interaction.

But everyone rips her to shreds and tells her she's transphobic anyway.

The thing I don’t understand about the transandrophobia stuff is how it leads into the transmisogyny. Like, trans guys do experience oppression, and they should be allowed to talk about it, but every guy I’ve seen who’s talked about it using the term “transandrophobia” has also been extremely transmisogynistic. Not always at first or intentionally, but it’s like a pipeline I think? So like, I understand that there is a correlation here. I have observed it myself. But I don’t get it? What is it about using that word to describe their experiences that leads them to consistently become so transmisogynistic? And they talk a lot about wanting trans solidarity, but their actions don’t really reflect that? But I don’t understand how it happens. It’s like [a trans guy experiences oppression] -> [he wants to talk about it] -> [he starts talking about transandrophobia] -> [SOMETHING?????] -> [he becomes violently transmisogynistic]. And it’s like ok, the oppression IS real, talking about it IS good, but then we get to that word, and that’s where things start to go bad, but I don’t know how or why. I don’t know what happens in the “SOMETHING?????” step.

my guess is that part of it is they resent us for "appropriating" the experience of misogyny that they believe is inherent to agab. they want to be the ultimate authorities on misogyny, and they hate the idea that we have authority on discussing our own experiences of misogyny, and I think they especially resent the idea that it affects us more than it does them in many areas of life. I cannot forget how mad they got that I pointed out the wage gap between them and us

people in general are very condescending about trans women's experiences with misogyny, acting like we're appropriating what ~real~ women go through. and frankly, a lot of transandrobros seem to think of themselves as more of women than trans women in everything but name. they just say "afab" instead of "woman"

[mousidy]

look i understand your frustration with "cis women boundaries". but we can't just say "other people don't get to have boundaries if it makes it harder for me to be safe" because that is a one-way ticket to authoritarianism. What we can do is make safe spaces for trans women, and choose on a case-by-case basis if they include cis women or not. Keep in mind too, not every trans woman feels safe sharing a space with cis women... and they deserve safe spaces too.

I daresay most of us don't feel safe sharing spaces with cis women, lol. systemic discrimination against marginalized women is not "boundaries" it's discrimination. if you're uncomfortable with a group of marginalized women, that's called bigotry, and it's never at any time in history been a good justification for discrimination. and no we are not going to do "separate but equal" get serious

[mousidy]

A boundary is like “you can’t come in my room because it’s private” or “I don’t like hugs” or “if you are too loud I will have to leave until it gets quiet again”

“You can’t come in this homeless shelter because you’re a dirty tranny” is not a boundary.

“You can’t come in this homeless shelter because you’re a dirty tranny” kills people.
