Tangents on Tangents

Random addenda to other people's posts, random hobby screeching, blatant attempts to remind you, me, and everyone else to care about the issues of the world. Inclusionist. Occasionally I will share original works that I wrote. Anti-evil (threats, hate speech, Nazis, TERFs, racists, misogynists, etc, are all unwelcome).

I was at our local bakery recently and came across a loaf of bread quaintly branded as a “Peasant Loaf”. It was selling for over $6—the irony of this was not lost on me. 

In retaliation I have decided to post what I actually think of as a peasant loaf, but with the luxury of finely ground modern flour which is less likely to break your teeth because actual peasant loaf bread is like chewing rocks unless you’re soaking it in soup or stew. 

This is a very simple loaf, it requires no special tools and is a fairly forgiving dough for beginners to work with. Also it has the added bonus of looking like an expensive artisan loaf, but costs literal pennies to make once you invest in the basic ingredients.

So what do you need?

Ingredients:

Plain flour (or wholewheat if you prefer)

One sachet of active dry yeast.

Salt.

Water.

Tools:

Bowl

Mug

Prep and bake time total: 2 hours 45 minutes.

Yep, that’s it. You’ll notice that there’s no quantities listed up there, and that’s because you’ll be using the mug to measure everything. This helps to make sure your quantities are consistent, and means that so long as you have a mug and your ingredients, you can make bread. Heck you don’t even need a bowl, it just makes clean up easier.

Again I had Elusive Tumblr Dad help me take the photos so be warned this is going to be fairly image heavy under the cut :D

yes it IS very silly to cry re-reading my reviews of a pair of books, thank you

(in my defense, A) silly is great and B) they're damn good books. i finished my re-reads of the books May 4th and the fanfic has carried me through to today (May 21st) (and beyond) with continued tears, so. yes. having condensed the hooks of each book into something a stranger might just read is a tad emotional)

you may blame splendid author Victoria Goddard her The Hands of the Emperor (HOTE) and At the Feet of the Sun (AtFotS or just ATFOTS)

Seeing posts like "bro thinks misandry is an axis of oppression" is truly like a fucking shark fin in the water now to me.

Like, contextless and divorced from any intentions by the OP, it can be easily read as someone pointing out how misogynistic and patriarchal men accuse women of oppressing them in the vein of MRAs.

But we also know there hasn't been a large conversation on tumblr about genuine actual MRAs and they aren't in the zeitgeist to be the subject of snarky posts.

Looking into the (2k) notes of that post, though, what we do see is 1. Radfems 2. Straight up terfs saying TIF and TIM 3. People talking about transmascs 4. People wishing death on men 5. People specifically talking about transandrophobia (negatively) and 6. People saying men aren't oppressed, like, ever at all.

It's these context clues that very obviously points this post toward an anti-transmasculine sentiment even without being on the nose about it. OP isn't talking about actual literal pericishet MRAs. OP is talking about transmascs, and while correctly identifying that misandry is not an axis systemic oppression on its own, they've misidentified and intentionally misconstrued what transmascs are saying about our experiences.

It's another example of a motte and bailey argument. "I didn't say anything about trans men" (despite hundreds of people in the notes clearly picking up on that intention).

Idk. It's just kind of ridiculous to me. Like yeah man nobody is seriously saying misandry is an axis of oppression by itself divorced of any other factors. What people are saying is that people's negative perceptions and judgements of men inform the specific and intersectional biases of when men have other identities that are marginalised. Those are not the same thing and if you think they are. Then you aren't understanding intersectionality. And you're probably racist as fuck

Shit I didn't know all of that about scientology, I thought it was just a cult rich people in US join to have tax write offs (buy making "donations" to the church, lowering the tax they owe) and have a private place that has "religious protections" that allow them freedoms that other spaces wouldn't. Didn't know the members actually believed in the religion, I assumed it was all a front. So I did support the raids under the idea it was just fucking with the rich.

I'm glad I helped you learn a bit more about it!

I highly suggest anyone who wants to understand Scientology better watch the documentary "Going Clear." Its on HBO but I'm sure it can be found pirated in other places. Its based on a book by the same name and goes into the history of Scientology, its beliefs, and exactly how it abuses its members.

It has a lot of rich people in it because it was built pretty nakedly by the founder to be a source of tax-free money for him personally, and he targeted Hollywood elites for that reason. But it preys on plenty of regular people, and its central practice (auditing) functions for many people in a way similar to talk therapy, which is why a lot of people got in it in the first place; they felt it genuinely helped them, and that the church as a whole was dedicated to helping the world.
