The Journals of Rotation

Greetings, fellow citizens of the universe! My name's E, I'm an asexual, omniromantic, and genderfluid writer, filmmaker, reader, artist, and generally a person with OPINIONS. I have no plan for what to put on this blog, so expect it to be filled with whatever random crap comes into my head when I'm not high on spiders.

Went to a bakery yesterday. It had two tip jars.

One said "tips from girls". The other said "tips from guys". Between them a sign "who is more generous? :)".

What an infuriating, unnecessary gender divide.

this is exorsexism

"tumblr follower count is so useless compared to other platforms like what does tumblr fame even get you"

Laid, apparently

[themainspoon]

How? (Important) (Time Sensitive)

[catboybiologist]

Step 1: go to irl even or dating app

Step 2: have someone mention in conversation to you "hey wait I think I follow you on tumblr"

Step 3: wake up in their bed somehow?

Step 4: repeat

[themainspoon]

Hmmm, sounds like it requires sharing images of oneself, I personally like being a disembodied and anonymous digital presence. I must find another way.

[stabbed-monster]

Present yourself with pictures of the lego skeleton bcs it goes hard as fuck

[stabbed-monster]

That wasn't the image i clicked

[catboybiologist]

Sure it wasn't

something I've noticed over the years is that calling something eugenicist rhetoric is almost always met with "eugenics is a strong word" or "that's not eugenics it's just common sense". what I need everyone to understand about eugenics is that:

it is still one of the primary underlying status quo ideologies

the fact that it is status quo means that, instinctively, you are going to label it as "common sense" or as "objective truth"

"eugenics" simply means "belief that there is a way of optimising human genetics for the benefit of the general good"

when I say that something is "eugenicist rhetoric" I am not saying "everyone who has ever said this thing is inherently evil". I am saying "you need to question where some of these ideas come from"

this is also how people have come to quiz me on the ethics of various choices an individual might make rather than focusing on the systemic, institutional, and cultural elements of eugenics. for example. I am not here to rule for or against one person aborting their disabled foetus. I am pro-abortion and I would never advocate against the right for someone to make whatever choice they're going to make. I am here to ask people to question the fact that such an abortion is seen as the most rational choice for any person to make in such a situation

Level 1: Asylums are scary because there's crazy people there.

Level 2: We shouldn't treat mental health facilities as objects of horror because it stigmatises mental illness.

Level 3: Asylums are scary because there's psychiatrists there.

It is not nearly common enough knowledge that most Native tribes in the U.S. don't actually own all of the land within their reservation. There are millions of acres of reservation land that tribes don't legally own and they have no control over how that land is used. Like, there are a lot of different concepts tied in with the land back movement, but a major one is literally just getting reservation land back into tribal ownership.

[thedreamthieves]

i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

[changelingcoded]

keep getting glimpses into an alternate timeline where plurality is more normalized and you can buy shitty tshirts and mugs about it

[blixandco]

Like this?

[homunculus-argument]

I will not elaborate.

[weedsandwishes]

@sergle is correct

[abouquetofdaylillies-deactivate]

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

[headspace-hotel]

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

[godesssiri]

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.

[gothiccharmschool]

ALSO! If you start having those feelings and suspect you’re heading towards perimenopause, talk to your doctor.

Basically, if you have a uterus and you start having extreme mood swings every month, that’s not actually normal, go talk to a medical professional. Don’t grit your teeth and suffer through it.

[themountainflowers]

Imma draw a Floof Squad Cuddle Pile.

[artemisiamasterofnone]

"women under 19" is an interesting way to describe teenagers 15-19

[vullen]

future archaeologists will know you were (not) a boy

[vullen]

i've seen countless kind and emotional replies in the year or so since i posted this comic, but this particular tag set has squeezed me unlike any other. thanks

[that-house]

Untitled.

i made a comic in google slides for some ungodly reason

[that-house]

the long-awaited sequel, Untitled #2

[that-house]

Untitled #3 explores the formulaic entertainment mass-produced by the pawns of capitalism. Or I just wanted to say ass. One of the two.

[that-house]

Untitled #4: the plot thiccens. also there’s a plot apparently

[that-house]

Untitled #5. This whole comic is 23 strips long, and I’ll be doing daily uploads until it’s all posted. Thanks for the great response y’all.

[that-house]

Untitled #6. Okay so firstly, HOLY FUCK Y’ALL. I did NOT expect this comic to get notes, let alone fanart. The most recent strip will always be linked at the bottom of my pinned post, so you can check there to see if you’re caught up.

[that-house]

Untitled #7. Not much to say here. I hope you’re having a good day!

[that-house]

Untitled #8. The true plot begins.

[that-house]

Untitled #9. The Creator can possess Red because I, like Red, have a phenomenal ass. That’s it. It’s not that deep.

[that-house]

Untitled #10. *slaps roof of blue square* this bad boy can fit so much fucking existential despair

[that-house]

Untitled #11. Bet you didn’t expect the ass jokes comic to come to this now did you

[that-house]

Untitled #12. Red is fucking pissed at me. sorry buddy

[that-house]

Untitled #13. I indeed cannot have a comic without characters. Well played, Red.

[that-house]

Untitled #14. Red has his priorities straight.

[that-house]

Untitled #15. It would be funny if this were the last strip but I promise it isn’t. I put too much effort into the end of the comic to stop it now.

[that-house]

Untitled #16. Nice try, Red. Nice try.

[that-house]

Untitled #17. The paradox of omnipotence perpetually vexes me :(

[that-house]

Untitled #18. Let’s not have any ambiguity: Red’s dead. Hey, that rhymes! Neat!

[that-house]

Untitled #19. While strip 18 coincidentally did fall on April Fool’s, it wasn’t a prank. This comic has two characters now. Remember when this comic was about ass jokes?

[that-house]

Untitled #20. Three more strips to go. Holy shit.

[that-house]

Untitled #21. ass haha

[that-house]

Untitled #22. What am I going to do? Who knows… Find out tomorrow at roughly 8:30 AM EST!

[that-house]

Untitled #23.
