Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

this is the definition of college.

Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now I’m considered an expert on this species…

this is how it works half of esteemed biologists trip and fall into their specialty while pursuing something else. one lecturer i just went to started as a biochemist researching antibiotics and discovered that crocodiles change colors based on environment and now he has 30+ crocs in his yard for research purposes and he’s just like… “wait… i’m a chemist…”

Hamlet adaptation where Hamlet is a vlogger and all his soliloquies are breakdowns he uploads to YouTube

this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

This is - legitimately - my favourite delivery of Shakespeare I have EVER seen (and I have seen some good-ass productions yo, in the Globe Theatre itself even). Like seriously, even though the words are unchanged, he’s stripped away ALL of the archaic pretense and assumed grandeur of ~presenting the bard~ that makes even the most wildly talented of actors and innovative of productions inherently inaccessible to a modern audience. Like, they’re still great, they can still communicate the message and (some) of the nuance, but they’re still always a step removed from being identifiable to any viewer’s lived experience. They’re still always reciting 15th century poetry. But this guy? This guy is like, screw iambic pentameter, to hell with being precious about the material, HOW WOULD AN ACTUAL PERSON SAY THIS SHIT?

Like this. And it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because he’s presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.

So yeah, this shit post? I love it. Deeply and sincerely.

A Blacksmith’s Dream

suppermariobroth

On the Nintendo Today app, one of the selectable themes is the Donkey Kong theme. The theme has an Easter egg whereby on the 30th of each month, the animation actually differs based on whether that is the last day of that month, or whether that month also has a 31st day.

Both animations start off identically, with King K. Rool playing dead on the ground, with the text "The Month is Over?" However...

Left: on a month that does not end on the 30th, King K. Rool wakes up suddenly as the text disappears, signifying that there is still one more day left.

Right: if the month does end on the 30th, the text fades into "The Month is Over" without a question mark as King K. Rool remains dead.

ok so is now a good time to have the conversation about the rampant ableism in transfem spaces

slutcore-starships

as long as ive been in the community, the ideal trans woman has always been one who is disabled in ways that are entertaining and endearing while anything that would actually affect another person is expected to be compartmentalized and handled in private. there is no literacy about disabled history, rights, or advocacy, despite the way disability and queerness are inseparably intertwined (dysphoria treated as schizophrenia, autism as leaving one vulnerable to being “groomed” into the “transgender cult,” fucking aids). many trans women come from ironic and post-ironic spaces online, many of which are deeply bigoted (not just against disability, mind), and their slurs and mockery and fetishization get brought along by those women who continue to perform detachment and launder these ideas in spaces that lack the literacy to push back against them, so the few who do are isolated from their peers and eventually quarantined into spaces where their complaints cannot be heard.

the sad thing for me about the discourse thats currently revving up is that its nothing new, its just the logical conclusion of the culture ive experienced since day one: the ideal trans women is a public commodity who is expected to perform desirability; an actress, a musician, a comedian, a sexual object. this is seen as mandatory from tmes and aspirational from other trans women. therefore, any trans woman who cannot perform, who is limited from doing so in a way that cannot be overcome, exists on the fringes of the community, shunned from the masses by transmisogyny and from her community by ableism. the idea that these women are burdens, parasites, and, of course, sexual predators is only conceivable because the community lacks the vocabulary to push back against it. to recognize that the disabled trans woman is even less likely to be pampered by insurance companies than the abled woman. to identify this as downstream from conservative rhetoric to justify removing protections from discrimination and access to financial resources. to remember that marx himself was disabled and supported by his community and, under the “marxist” framework used here, marx himself would be considered a parasite.

you need to get anti-ableist. you need to educate yourself on ableist tropes, language, and community dynamics. you need to acquire the vocabulary to push back against ableism. you need to understand that ableism has been pushed on you since the day you were born and it will kill you if it gets the chance. today, its “puppygirls.” when your mask falls, when you stumble in the middle of your performance, when youve been isolated and commodified, you too will be rendered disposable. you will be blamed for the times people never spoke up, never addressed you, never treated you as an equal. you will have every aspect of your life picked apart and judged. you will be found guilty. you too will be consumed.
