I'm surprised the knight kink crowd hasn't picked up on the fact that historical knights had a habit of capturing each other for ransom. What do you mean you don't see the sexual tension in rivals seeking each other out in battle or through ambush, deliberately avoiding harming their target so they may be taken back to the attacker's castle, either held as a prisoner or as a honored "guest" as the case may be, until they are redeemed by their friends and allies?
bro, go to Jimmy John's and ask for the Fetty Wop meal. The looks on their faces won't change and they'll give you a buffalo chicken wrap and buffalo chicken flavored chips with a drink of your choice.
this is not a bit but a grim reality
just learned from my friend who works at Jimmy John's that the parentheses in the meal name caused a nationwide software glitch for 24 hours that made it so the order was free. Her store had to cancel hundreds of orders that day.

i have somehow never seen The Architect And The Builder reposted to tumblr so i have to do that shit myself
Fun fact for anyone who does this, being a misogynistic man isn't funny just because you're trans or you think the idea of treating trans women like women is inherently funny, how funny do you think she finds your "ironic" misogyny when you punch down on the women that don't have cis privilege over you
also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.
it shows their absolutely vile views on womenhood as a whole and also their views on specifically trans women.
on women in general, it shows that they think misogyny is deserved, natural even, so much so that it is the default way that all people interact with women. if you exist as a woman, at any possible moment, you can and should be subject to misogyny, and thats normal.
on trans women specifically, it shows they don't actually see us as women. they think we aren't subjected to misogyny on a daily basis. they think we dont experience this behavior already, when it's not as they refer to as a "joke". they think that like themselves, no one in the world could possibly see us as actual women.
therefore, when we are subjected to misogyny, it should be "affirming". its someone briefly winking and nodding at us, saying "ill pretend you're a woman, get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich". its the belief that they're doing us a favor, that they're being trans positive, even. they think its the same as calling us pretty. after all, they're momentarily treating us the same way they treat every other women.
the worst part is that they're partially right. it can actually feel slightly gender affirming the first time a stranger says your tits look great. but its not as fun the second time. or the third. or the 50th. or the 1000th. they are right, i would rather be called a cunt or a bitch rather than a tranny or an autogynophile. but id much rather not be called any of that. it can feel nice the first time a man hits on you because he finds you attractive (aka fresh meat), instead of hitting you for not being man enough. it gets old real quick having to cover my drink around literally everyone.
people think trans women aren't subjected to misogyny, and that they can be gender affirming by being misogynistic, something that comes so naturally to them that they already do it to all women. but they don't realize that trans women experience transmisogyny - that we suffer through every single thing a cis woman suffers through on a daily basis, and worse on top of that for daring to exist at all.
a few weeks ago my girlfriend got called a whore by a homeless woman on the street. she was wearing a full body dress. when she got home we thought it was funny and that she must have seen a panty line through it or something (there wasn't anything we could really see.) 2 days ago she wore the same dress to work and when she got home she asked me if I could see a panty line through it. after another inspection turned nothing up, she said something along the lines of "well, at least she gendered me correctly..."
back when i lived in florida with my parents, my dad and i went to the store to get some pool supplies. on our way back to the car there was an old guy who said something (i can't remember what exactly, i think it was something about swimming) and gave me an updown before i was able to turn to face him. i didnt notice at the time but my dad told me in the car. i felt simultaneously validated and repulsed and it was confusing, but looking back on it, it feels like my dad didnt react like he would have if i had been cis.
but sure, trans women don't experience misogyny.
when i was closeted, i convinced my parents to buy me a maid dress that i could wear to a convention (as a joke, definitely, for sure, thats why i borrowed one of my mom's bras and stuffed it with socks and underwear.) while i was going to get in the car my brother stopped in front of me and grabbed my chest and squeezed it. i pushed him off because i felt genuinely uncomfortable and disgusted, and luckily my mom saw it and chewed him out. i have never forgotten this and i have not forgiven him for it either.
even after i came out to my friends in high school, i still regularly had friends who would grab at and grope my chest """as a joke""" and it made me really uncomfortable every time. i told them to stop but they never really listened.
these are just a few personal examples, but my experience is tame compared to the things i have heard that happened to many of my close friends.
“The police spend very little of their time dealing with violent criminals—indeed, police sociologists report that only about 10% of the average police officer’s time is devoted to criminal matters of any kind. Most of the remaining 90% is spent dealing with infractions of various administrative codes and regulations: all those rules about how and where one can eat, drink, smoke, sell, sit, walk, and drive. If two people punch each other, or even draw a knife on each other, police are unlikely to get involved. Drive down the street in a car without license plates, on the other hand, and the authorities will show up instantly, threatening all sorts of dire consequences if you don’t do exactly what they tell you. The police, then, are essentially just bureaucrats with weapons. Their main role in society is to bring the threat of physical force—even, death—into situations where it would never have been otherwise invoked, such as the enforcement of civic ordinances about the sale of untaxed cigarettes.”
— An excerpt from Ferguson & the Criminalization of American Life by David Graeber (via actjustly)
since i think many will have had the memory slip with just how many other atrocities have occured in the past 11 years, or are simply too young to remember, the last bit about the sale of untaxed cigarettes isn’t just some hypothetical, it’s a reference to the killing of eric garner
this is the origin of the slogan “i cant breathe”, which was revived in the wake of the killing of george floyd.
On this day, 17 July 2014, Eric Garner was murdered by police enforcing a civic ordinance.
i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights
first marge and now this. he doesn’t deserve it
idk i would personally rather give up access to certain products seasonally or locally than have people enslaved to give me the ability to have any product any place any time. i think i can go without tomatoes in january.
i truly do think that most people if confronted with it and pressed on it would agree. but it's comfortable to gain privileges from someone else's suffering, especially if you don't have to see that suffering directly.
i was going to make a joke about the opposite of cruelty free meats or whatever being produce with unnecessary violence added in but that's literally just the global produce market
You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.
Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?
Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have
