like plenty of black horror fans have said it better but it's fucking crazymaking how many people treat lovecraft's racism as a minor footnote or a quirky shock anecdote about his cat's name and not a central theme around which most of his work pivots. if you can't read an author's work and identify and acknowledge its key themes, you may not actually like that work very much!

sometimes you catch sight of just how funny the median TME person finds the suffering of trans women and you just want to tear everything to pieces

you’re jerking off and suddenly my leitmotif starts playing

[mousidy]

you buy a gaming mouse online and a mousegirl in a pizza stained t shirt comes in the mail

[frutee]

this is what i mean when i say the word girl itself is sexualized. the image that comes to mind with this kind of reference is a hypersexualized almost anime representation. and the joke itself comes from the objectification of women for entertainment for men, like a harem video game, or a manga where a "girl" gets delivered to your doorstep, and by girl its a hypersexualized, hyperinfantilized, hyperfeminine sex object

throwback to one of my first experiences on tumblr being an echo of the "it's on the mouse" megapope situation like. a week later

I love that thing when people get a little bit tongue-tied and garble what they’re trying to say so they make a little “blegh” 👅 noise and start over. verbal reset button. hitting the top of the tv to unscramble the signal

i am a little bit confused by the number of blogs whos purpose is seemingly to reblog posts which discuss transmisogyny and add on “the thing being discussed here is transmisogyny and here’s why” and then just a re-explanation of the post in a new way thsts less easy to understand and i am very confused about why this happens on my posts so frequently

[malignedmare]

i’m not sure if these users think i don’t understand my own post or if these users think that the people reblogging my post don’t understand it or maybe they think their followers won’t understand it but it all just seems a bit unnecessary to me

[malignedmare]

i just think that if you want to create a productive transfeminist blog, ur best bet is doing something other than adding onto other ppls posts and being super unclear abt wether u think op is a transmisogynist or if u think the post is good transfeminism. you must understand that it is a little confusing and jarring to randomly see “this is transmisogynistic” in my notifications from complete strangers on posts which are discussing transmisogyny. i can not tell if you are calling Me a transmisogynist or if you are observing and stating that i am discussing transmisogyny. i can not be the only person that is deeply confused by these blogs.

would you be open to explaining a little more on the difference between decriminalizing vs legalizing sex? i know there’s a distinction and i read your tags on another ask but I’d love to know more/why decriminalizing is better. no worries if not i know ur not a teacher lol

the long and short of it is that legalization means gov/police involvement whereas decrim means we are free to work without fear of penalty. to be blunt cops rape and murder us a lot so any path that reduces our exposure to them is a safer one for us. on top of that you can look at legal brothels in places like nevada and see pretty clearly that involvement of the law has not protected those workers from exploitation just locked them into narrower avenues. dont even get me started on the nordic model. in a city where its decriminalized my professional peers and I have a lot more options in terms of how we meet clients, how we keep ourselves safe and how we charge.

I worked in this city before it was decriminalized. the spa I worked at was raided by cops ( who had already been paid off) at least 3 times while I was there. the weight off my shoulders being able to work without the fear of state sanctioned assault and ending up an 'NHI' hanging over me is priceless.

here's a resource that isnt just one guy speaking from experience though

if you support sex workers advocate for decriminalization not legalization ty<3

[grimygrimygrimy]

hi you should reblog this btw especially if you consider yourself someone who supports sex workers

[genderednipples]

Oh, would you look, it's a research paper by the esteemed Adeline Berry on the effects of sex work legalisation in Ireland

My grandmother could lose her life. Why is she being overlooked?💔

We have reduced our own food so we can save every possible donation for her treatment.

We have received almost no donations. The last one came three days ago.🙏

My grandmother is suffering from serious kidney problems. If her treatment is delayed, she could develop kidney failure, and her body may not be able to withstand it. We are terrified of losing her.

Please, my grandmother is in a critical condition. Her chance of survival depends on the support and kindness of people willing to stand beside her. * We need $420 every week to keep my grandmother from reaching kidney failure—a condition that could cost her her life.💔😭

Please, any donation, no matter how small, helps us provide her essential treatment and gives her a chance to survive.🙏🙏

Hilda💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

"why was the ending so rushed it was so good up until the ending" the answer is the same every time no matter the media you're talking about: the author is a bee and had to go back to the hive to defend the queen

discord, an application with no regard for your storage with a cache size that regularly balloons into many gigabytes, still has not figured out how to store thumbnails for your saved gifs, forcing you to sit there and wait for each one to slowly load over the network like it's 1990. bravissimo. no other app like it.

[stjohnstarling]

The reason most indie novels are written like the author is terrified of doing something wrong is because the overwhelming majority of indie novelists get their start by networking in the violent panopticon of the social media indie publishing community, which favours the people who are able to win at the social policing game.

Okay so this comment got me googling because I hadn't heard of Isabel Fall

And if you also hadn't heard of her go read this because uhh... Holy Shit

[headspace-hotel]

I had heard of the whole messed up situation with this story, but I hadn't ever read the synopsis of the story before, and WOW

This story sounds like it could have been a brilliant exploration of gender and warfare and violence but instead it was attacked by people who didn't know how to confront a story that made them uncomfortable, and the author faced horrible consequences.

It's so important to be able to deal with stories that give you uncomfortable feelings in other ways than just attacking it. Being shown new perspectives sometimes has feelings of discomfort because it's an unfamiliar way of seeing the world.
