Shout out to Tamora Pierce for taking the "airhead noblewomen who's only good at embroidery" and giving us Lady Sandrilene fa Toren, who is kind and brave and sensible and loves embroidery and fiber arts so much that the other noblewomen think she's weird for it.

started watching this japanese show where they take in requests and they try to help out with whatever the request is. and in this one the guy says that when he was in middle school, he always heard the girl across the street playing her piano, and although he only met her in person a few times, listening to her play her usual song was a great comfort to him growing up, especially getting to hear her slowly get better at playing.

the guy now was an adult and taking a break from college, and began to feel really lost in life, and he kept thinking back to when he was in middle school and hearing her play the piano every day. so his request was to hear her play it again. and he and the show's crew literally go back to his old place, and miraculously the girl still lives in that same house across the street, and even more miraculously the people who currently live where he used to allow him to go back to his old room where he used to listen to her play. and they all agree to recreate his middle school memory for him.

the girl comes home from her part-time job and she plays the piano, although she tells them it's been 4 years since she's ever played and is worried she won't sound good, and the guy sits by the window, and he just listens. and like. just imagining reliving that moment when you were younger, listening to a near-stranger play a song across the street every day, feeling a little less lost because of it, and returning to that as an adult when you need it most and everyone being kind enough to let you savor it again even just for a moment... i wanted to start bawling i wont lie. this is the song she played. im going to go lie down about the humanity of it all

[honrupi]

oohh i didnt expect this to even break 2 notes but hello! the show was called 探偵！ナイトスクープ (Detective! Knight Scoop) and if you have a vpn you can watch it on netflix. the guy did get to meet the pianist herself in person and thank her for playing such a beautiful song all those times, which is why his request was to hear her play it again.

she joked she wouldve played it for him if he had just rang her doorbell haha

#I love a good ‘eat shit’ scene #aka when the protagonist’s bullies are publically shamed or otherwise socially demoted #but with the added oomph of wearing a literal crown while this is going on

It's weird this isn't talked about more, but Elon basically kidnapped his son. He used his lawyers to near bankrupt Grimes in her custody battle and it's unclear if she has any access to her son at this point.

Grimes can be an unsympathetic figure at times, but this is just awful. Especially since it seems Elon is using this young boy as an anti-assassination tactic.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) dir. Gil Junger

[fablerenown]

Listen, I have seen many a posts to the tune of "Hozier is a fae god!" Or "Florence is a fae god!" And I am here to tell you that neither of them are fae gods. Paramours, probably, maybe members of an Entourage, but gods? No.

You want to know who an actual fucking fae god is???

Kendrick Lamar.

The pettiness. The creativity. The persuasiveness. The accuracy. He had 110 million people across the nation today singing "a minooooor" like it was fucking nothing. This man has cast a thousand-year curse on Aubrey Graham's bloodline that cannot be undone through mortal means.

Now, THAT is some fae god level shit.

[whimsipunk]

Yes absolutely, Kendrick was 100% on that fae shit last night, but would you believe me if I told you there's more to unpack about it?

Let me tell you about bards. Specifically, about satires, a form of poem insulting the bard's chosen enemy. People believed if the information in the satire was true, a well written one could result in things like sickness, boils and even death.

If an ancient bard actually invoked an entire standing army to chant the most devistanting line of their satire at an enemy king or general, that king or general might have died out pure fear tbh. Which is basically what happened at the superbowl half time show yesterday, because satires are pretty much ancient diss tracks.

By druidic standards, what we saw last night was a 110 million people lending their energy into a massive spell of fuck you. Ancient bards wish they could do to their king's enemies what Kendrick did to Drake last night.

We have GOT to stop being assholes to people with receding and balding hairlines. There's not a single person that it can't affect. It affects trans men, particularly on hormones, it affects trans women, particularly those not on hormones, it affects people with endocrine issues, something that's becoming more prevalent and common, and it can affect people without a particular cause, including cis women. It's a normal part of being human and we NEED to stop dehumanizing and humiliating ppl for it

[androgynuisance-deactivated2024]

My bf started losing his hair in his early 20s and the effect it's had on him is devastating.

He's an actor and he was dropped by his agent after he stopped hiding his hair loss. The roles he was cast in narrowed and shifted from more heroic characters to villains, and eventually he became so miserable about it that he stopped going to auditions altogether.

He used to enjoy dyeing his hair bright colours, and he lost that means of self expression. It alienated him from his own appearance, which knocked him back in coming out and exploring his queerness. The way he talks about it often feels dysmorphic. He says shaving makes him feel like he's "rotting" - like he's "scraping the mold off [his] head".

I've seen drunk people and teenagers yell at him in the street and mock his baldness. I've seen people come up to him and slap his head or touch it without asking for permission. I've witnessed this behaviour from other trans people and women who I know would absolutely kick off if he took such a degrading or entitled attitude towards a part of their body, but seem to think it's OK to do it to him.

Since going bald people perceive him as more masculine. He feels people are more suspicious of him. Women are less likely to approach him. Folks are quicker to put him in a box or misread his behaviour as aggressive or threatening, when the reality is that he's neurodivergent and can't conform to rigid social norms.

Baldness is a heavily gendered characteristic. If someone is conventionally masculine enough and/or is protected by other intersecting powers and privileges (eg wealth) then baldness can reinforce their maleness and the harm to their social standing is minimised. But if their performance of maleness is complicated by something like queerness or disability, it creates a dissonance. They have what is perceived as a hypermasculine trait standing in sharp contrast with their refusal/failure to perform normative, idealised masculinity.

And that's how baldness is typically read - as failure. Especially when it exists outside of wealthy, successful, heterosexual masculinity but tbh even there too - just look at all the jokes about Jeff Bezos' baldness or Elon Musk getting hair plugs. It's similar to insulting Trump over his weight. Like yeah fuck those guys but all you're really doing is revealing to the fat and bald people in your life that you think their bodies are deserving of mockery.

And God help you if you're a bald woman. All women with receding hairlines are at a huge risk from transmisogyny.

Sorry for the essay. Baldness is absolutely a body neutrality issue. It's an ageism issue, and a trans issue, and I WISH there was a broader recognition of this.

[gendersmear-deactivated20220227]

I’m attempting to read Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence, written by that TERF Adrienne Rich, which is going to take me all fucking day because I keep having to stop and process what the fuck I’m reading. The paper literally starts with this:

Biologically  men  have  only  one  innate  orientation–a  sexual  one  that draws  them  to women–while women have two innate orientations, sexual toward men and reproductive toward their young

As a nonbinary trans person who likes all genders, I’m in for a wild ride.

[gendersmear-deactivated20220227]

Finished it. What the hell did I just read. Like, any somewhat decent point she made was completely undone by her reliance on weird as fuck Freudian Analysis, Biological Essentialism, and Sex Negativity. Rich mentions other races and cultures in passing, and demands their inclusion, yet her conclusions are entirely white and western, and her citing people of color does not detract from that fact.

Also, I’m sorry, but breastfeeding an infant does not exist on a “lesbian-continuum”, what the fuck, Rich.

And it seems like Rich didn’t like gay men that much while she was alive. She mocks the idea of gay men and lesbians uniting under the umbrella “gay”. She also quotes an academic who makes the claim that men don’t yearn for other men to the same degree as women desiring other women, and within this same quote the source was pretty much like, paraphrased, “Lol I’ll never have the data to prove this.” Yes I am fucking serious.

Bisexuality is mentioned one time, for the purpose of dumping on the “everyone is a little bisexual” argument. Needless to say, this is a very shallow handling of bisexuality.

Rich’s ultimate point appears to be that women’s relationships with other women have been stifled and suppressed for the sake of men, which could be a very interesting topic. She also mentions that dissenting women throughout history have been ignored and erased. Again, that sounds like a great conversation. The issue is when filtering these things through radical feminism, garbage comes out. 

I also wish more people had realized where the term ‘Compulsory Heterosexuality’ came from a lot sooner, since I see it used a decent amount. And it sucks, because those two words together really describe our heteronormative society. But Adrienne Rich had very specific things in mind when she coined it, and I don’t think it can escape her framing.

[betterbemeta]

yeah this is kind of why I made that post about it a fuckmillion years ago, because it’s a specific case where the source of something people think they know, and relate to, is fundamentally unrelatable to most people who would ever feel the need to reference “compulsory heterosexuality.” 

Sometimes we can argue for like “this thing’s author wasn’t perfect but the thing they described is so important we will look past its flaws to extract a gem” but the source of the phrase is just. nothing but weird flaws, with the only reasonable-ish quotes in it sprinkled in when she had to backpedal on what was essentially a boggling longform second wave shit post.

The prevalence of the term is really a great example of how the aesthetic of radical feminism prevails and supersedes its sources on the internet. We can read something and think we know it from context cues and because in-use it seems to represent a real thing worth talking about, seems to have the aesthetic of activism and feminist thought right. But in reality the phrase “compulsory heterosexuality” in its coining has almost nothing to do with what people think it means, how it makes most people feel, how people think adding it to their discussions can enrich those discussions, etc. And because there’s no real effort/awareness to ‘reclaim’ it or ‘recontextualize’ it away from Rich’s usage, we can’t say it has transcended Rich’s original intent either.
