bitch moment: obviously this is subjective but a lot of modern queer lit (especially YA) has this specific tone that i find really grating. i want to call it "smug" but that's not exactly it. it's more like, that sense that the author is utterly convinced of the correctness of their own worldview and expects everyone else to agree with them on principle

[beaft]

two poles on this one btw

author is scared of me = terrified of ambiguity, uses excruciatingly precise language to avoid being misinterpreted, treats diversity as a box-ticking exercise, bends over backwards to explain itself when Literally No One Asked, all morally grey actions have to be immediately justified and resolved

author wants me dead = protagonist is unfailingly righteous and good, antagonist is irredeemably evil strawman, narrative refuses to make space for opinions/experiences that don't perfectly match up with the author's perspective, lots of Teachable Moments where an ignorant character is kindly shown the error of their ways by a wiser, more enlightened character

#these things are not opposites on a spectrum#I see these mindsets packaged together more often than not#the author wants you dead because they are scared of you

the problem millennials + older have with trying to understand the 67 meme is that they keep trying to compare it to past funny numbers.

listen. 67 is not 69. it's not 420, or 21, or 42.

it's E.

you remember this shit?

it's this. 67 is E.

[lindleland]

i'm gonna be honest with you all i straight-up did not notice that the E in this picture was fucked up. i don't know what's going on here and i'm scared

with dinosaur paleontologists and paleoartists out there making up whole dinosaurs from a fragment of ankle bone, you’d think invertebrate paleontologists would be held to a higher standard

and yet

hey why did I just see someone trying to convince people that going on hrt a terrible decision because you're making yourself a lifelong slave to the healthcare system to be exploited because *checks notes* many people who take hrt need to take it for the rest of their lives because the hormones will never naturally balance out

It's so crazy that in order to have healthcare you need to interact with the healthcare system right guys?? Lets all just be unhealthy and suicidal because hrt doesn't save lives you're just exploiting yourself!!!

This is one reason why, despite the violence of trans people's history at the hands of medical institutions, I will always advocate for trans and disabled solidarity as a shared struggle.

I've heard these exact arguments all my life about anti-depressants, a treatment that doesn't work for everybody but has definitely saved my life.

The truth is, the vast majority of us will never be independent. If picking up HRT from the pharmacy makes you a "slave" to the medical industry (a comparison that feels disrespectful to say the least) picking up milk and eggs makes you equally a "slave" to the grocery store.

Disability theorists have talked about how existing while disabled can destroy people's perception of being independent creatures who can survive without the collective. Despite how our food, water, sanitation, shelter, and education have always depended upon cooperative living, the reality that everyone is interdependent is invisibilized in a way that disablement breaks.

Don't allow other people's existential crises to dissuade you from flourishing. You deserve it.

"character deserved better" (but they were never going to get it that's the stuff great tragedies are made of) vs "character deserved better" (but the writers really blew it)
