I’m sorry to all my friends and mutuals, I am momentarily possessed by a demon interested in celebrity drama. I will continue to reblog content about rap beef’s fillet mignon until it stops being entertaining

[mossbawn]

people on here are always saying “we NEED a story where the art of storytelling is abandoned” like ugh literary devices are soo annoying like that wouldn’t happen in real life that only happened to further the story (why is there story in my story) why would orpheus turn around when he was explicitly told not to why would icarus fly so close to the sun romeo&juliet catcher in the rye why are they so earnest why pour your heart and soul into anything why bother why cant all art be quippy logical monotony like my marvel movies there’s a void in my heart bc i refused to fill it and the curtains were blue

“i hate poetry its so pretentious” but then you reblog a quote or a throwaway line and say “why does this go so hard” you are desperate for poetry you are starved for it and u dont even realise you’re hungry

I am forever of the opinion that SO many people would be so much happier if they stopped trying to fit their relationships and feelings into "just friends" and "romantic partners". man those are two boxes. twoooo. you are an entire living being. you are alive and your brain is full of electric signals and your body is sending crazy chemicals all over the place. you cannot always cram your experiences into two neat cookie cutter shapes. you are alive on this stupid gay earth please relax and have fun. I love you

[untatlak]

so you wanna fuck her. bro, we understand.

[crabussy]

I sincerely do not think you do. sorry man

[crabussy]

can I be real with you. you've missed the point of the post pretty drastically, and you've reduced my worldview to a reductive statement that really truly does not reflect what I'm trying to say. this is not me trying to justify a sexual desire. this is me saying that I am very comfortable and happy with my friendships and relationships because they're weird and nebulous and affectionate. this is me saying that many people are anxious or unhappy or feel pressured into dating entirely because they care about someone in a way that feels more intense than how we are taught friendship feels.

and absolutely, sometimes that does mean fucking your friends. but that is one MMMINISCULE (and situational!! I don't currently want that with any of my friends, for example) facet of this worldview and I hate to see my point turned into a snarky attempt at "revealing" my "true intentions".

sometimes, when someone says something passionately, they genuinely do mean exactly what they say. I'm not a scooby doo villain. you don't have to try and rip off my mask.

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood

The idea that marginalized men are somehow void of gender that intersects with their marginalization in a meaningful way because "man = uncomplicated, intrinsic, systemic, patriarchal power always" and is therefore unworthy of analysis or understanding in feminist discussions IS radical feminist dogma.

That's like, textbook radical feminism that goes back to the original Radical Feminist pamphlet written by Ti-Grace Atkinson in 1969.

You are doing nothing meaningful by trying to cling onto that idea and forcing it into a bastardized idea of intersectionality. Like, I'm sorry but marginalized manhood is a construct you have to engage with in feminist discussions in a meaningful, nondismissive manner if we're actually goal oriented towards dismantling patriarchal power.

Otherwise you're just deluding yourself into the radfem lie of an all woman utopia. The fascist lie of "if we can just remove the people not like us from our discussions and communities we'll be fine and safe". There's a reason why radfems and white supremacists are besties. Identity based in-groups will not save you in the face of systemic oppression because identity based in-groups are literally the foundation for systemic oppression.

If you cannot grasp the fact that you might be engaging with dogshit rhetoric, maybe go back and relearn your feminist history.

It's hard to say this without sounding like a right wing dickhead, but the thing about progressive spaces is that they may naturally attract people who are always on the lookout for excuses to start a fight. Like you can find yourself faced with someone whose political outrage is totally justified, and whose humanitarian ideals are right on the money, but simultaneously they are carrying a ton of psychological baggage about being wronged and getting revenge, and they will exploit literally any opportunity to live out this psychodrama with anyone in their line of vision. I have thought of several related anecdotes since I started typing this post, but I'll limit myself to the thing that inspired it, which is that I just visited this ultra-lefty cafe/bike shop/community gathering space where I've heard that the proprietor is constantly in a fight with everyone around her. When I paid for my stuff I noticed that there was no tip option, but I thought I had heard something about this, so I snuck away to look at the website and it made me really glad I didn't ask! I think there should have been a really enticing and exciting way for her to say "I've decided to be the change I want to see in the world, so I'm paying my baristas a full living wage, I'm making sure EVERYONE feels welcome and comfortable here, and I'm selling products I believe in!" -- but instead all the web copy sounded more like "You're either with me or against me, you're a fucking piece of shit asshole if you can't handle the inclusive atmosphere here, and by the way tipping is for fascist cavemen and if you ever try to tip someone you are refusing to relate to them authentically and you are enforcing a dangerous and evil power dynamic that should be purged from human society (so therefore I pay my staff well)." Like everything she stood for was totally agreeable, but why did she have to put it like it was directed at her worst enemy, rather than at the kinds of people she wants to attract? If the word on the street is to be believed, the reason for this posturing is that she spends quite a lot of energy making as many enemies as possible, and she probably likes it that way. I guess I'm just reminding myself, and perhaps others, that while one might think of "politics" as being broadly social and theoretical, no individual can fully separate the political from the intimately personal. Even somebody who seems to want to uplift and protect their fellow humans may be getting some perverse inner satisfaction out of that valiant crusade, and you may never realize it until you find yourself in a confusing fight with them.

not all kinks are sublimated anxieties, but the readiness with which we turn our sublimated anxieties into sexual fantasies is one of the most endearing things about our species to me. like our brains are like, “hmm. don’t like this. i should jerk off about it.”

Look I used to work with tow truck guys and they do not give a fuck. One time the Air Force was doing a recruiting stunt and they decided to bring a plane as like…a prop? I dunno and they parked it in a 20 minute loading zone and 21 minutes later my coworkers IMPOUNDED THE PLANE.
