THIS IS SO COOL AND REALLY GOOD ART

[mecha-girlie]

life really is a panopticon for some of us. did you know that i reword most of my posts hundreds of times over, try and cover every base, in a vain attempt to make myself palatable to the gawking masses? i speak quietly in public and i don’t make eye contact with the people who stare when i walk past, so as to not attract too much attention. every time i talk about politics or dynamics of oppression, i agonize over my words, try to account for every edge case and individual experience so i am not misinterpreted. i revise and rework and defang my subjectivities for your comfort. i constantly cater to the feelings and sensibilities of people who could at any moment decide they want to ruin my life and leave me with no recourse. i sand down every sharp edge of my transfeminism so as to not make you all upset. i avoid the terms you hate so much, the ones that make you acknowledge the power you hold over me. i bend over backwards and tie myself into knots to be understood.

i do it reflexively, curling into my shell of very carefully chosen words. and i do it because ive lived my entire life watching what happens to the tranny who isn’t, or can’t be palatable to you all. you will latch onto her every word, document and archive every moment of her life, obsess over her every move and abuse her until she snaps. her words, her body, her sexuality, her responses to harassment, become the grist in your little outrage mills. you turn her life into spectacle at her expense and consume her suffering as on-demand entertainment.

stop watching. leave her the fuck alone.

i hope everything reminds you of me and i haunt you forever (flirting)

robot girl whose idea of "surprise"is really just an unforseen indexOutOfBounds exception

[flux-sakura]

surprisingly emotionless at times of stress, but remarkably agitated when met with unusual circumstances

*after going without charge for three days* "These parameters are within the expected bounds."

*had a cat unexpectedly come lay on her lap* (she's compiling but there's a runtime error and she went nonverbal)

Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin (2018), dir. Arwen Curry

[aiweirdness]

The next line of her speech is also great: “Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”

[ Begin ID: Three stills of Ursula K. Le Guin standing at a podium. The captions at the bottom read “We live in capitalism. It’s power seems inescapable, so did the divine right of kings.” / End ID ]

[mckitterick]

if you’d like to hear her full important speech, here you go. if you’d like to read the transcript, I put that on my website: X
