Btw the author of chainsaw man did a drawing of captain America once and drew him like how he designs his demon characters. Feels anti yank which is why I'm sending this to you

Oh yes ive seen it before. His eyes literally blinded by patriotism, his star emblem is so grotestquely large and self absorbed it stabs into his neck. And his flag, what he stands for, is attached to a weapon of senseless murder.

“Where are the trans men in history?” See. When you're born a gender that was forcefully married off, who had to live most of their life indoors, when you had to raise children, and had a lobotomy if your family thought you were a tad too odd, it's kinda hard to come out as a trans man now ain't it.

Judith Butler, philosopher: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’

[directactionforhope]

Feels like a good time to remind certain people that this is coming from Judith Butler, who is not just a leading feminist philosopher, but also THE COFOUNDER OF QUEER THEORY

The literal cofounder of queer theory as an academic field says that abandoning trans people is fascist logic.

The voices in our community trying to exclude us may be loud, but they are not right, and they do not speak for the community as a whole or our history or anything at all.

Trans people belong here. We always have, and we always will.

We're not leaving this gem to languish in the comments:

[thydungeongal]

The really funny part about these interminable "why does the game's culture of play MATTER if everybody is HAVING FUN" arguments is that they always ultimately boil down to dismissing the fact that being treated as a human Xbox is miserable for the GM by framing the GM as a lone malcontent in an otherwise-harmonious group – yet if the GM in question actually followed the thread of that argument to its logical conclusion and removed themselves, in a culture of play that expects the GM to do all the work, there is no game.

You phrased it so much better than I ever could!

Pride month vest project, a patch a day #29: Wheat But Not Bread, Fruit But Not Wine

[gelbgelbgelb]

As my friend Julian puts it, only half winkingly: "God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation."

-- Daniel Mallory Ortberg

[technologistrevolution]

This has been driving me insane because this quote is so incredibly Jewish but every time I saw it was completely divorced from Judaism in the version applying it to 'transsexual'.

The original concept that humans complete the act of creation by making bread from wheat is from the Talmud! And the specific "wheat but not bread, grapes but not wine" phrasing is from Jewish theologian Abraham Heschel but it is missing "clay but not bricks".

And among trans Jews the sentiment was already popular before I ever started seeing this specific phrasing so I knew, knew, knew a Jew and likely a trans Jew was involved.

As it happens, Ortberg's friend Julian is Jewish and they have strongly negative feelings about the way the quote has been removed from the context of their life as someone trans and Jewish. They used to have a thread up on xwitter about it but have since made their account private and only have a very terse FAQ online from which you can glean the treatment they likely received when being more open about their Jewishness, relationship to transness, and the interaction of both.

[kosherdragon]

I've always thought there was something extremely Jewish about that quote! I had no idea that Julian is Jewish.

I love how varied and universally weird the circumstances for making lifelong friendships are. Here's this guy I accidentally messaged once and I could not imagine my life without them now. Here's this girl I was so scared of when I met her, I would kill for her and remind her to rest on the regular. Here's this other guy we have so much in common we used to joke we were the same person in different timelines. It took us years to meet in person and I attended his wedding. There are also people who entered my life in absolutely unremarkable ways but changed it forever for the better. It's wonderful how easy it is to find people to love.

This is the best post I have ever written, read the notes and be blessed by loving your friends magic

[noxernia]

fun fact, as a dorky 14 year old in... 2008? I was actually rather intimidated by my partner because he wrote like a 30 year old author. 🤭 Very serious, big words, mostly full punctuation... He was all of 16 at the time. Its very funny to think about now! I spent most of my teens having a (temporarily) unrequieted crush on him for various reasons.

He has been my best friend for a long time now, and we've been dating for gosh... 7 years? We got together in my early-mid 20s.

I have been lucky to meet and sometimes keep many interesting people through the strangest avenues. Online roleplaying being the main vehicle, frankly. XD

[vaspider]

Yeah, I met both of my partners through online roleplay, so. 🤷🏻

I just think it'd be fun if Lancaster pilots could make their funny dog stand on its hind legs as a threat display

How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay

Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.

Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.

Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.

People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.

Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.

Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.

Interracial relationships aren’t always toxic, and some of y’all need to stop projecting onto other people.

👆 THIS 👆 👏👏👏

[the-real-gingakid]

Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps
