Me and @basalisk120 were put in charge of a âfamily quizâ last weekend and considering the tough audience (retired boomers, heterosexual millennials and their 4-8 yo children who donât speak english) this question had a better reception than neither of us expected
We had a bunch of normie questions too (including Sports) but somehow THIS was still the most rage-inducing
I don't understand how cis people obsessed with gender norms think trans people are the weird ones. they're going around believing that your name has to correlate to your genitals. your fashion has to correlate to your genitals. your behaviours have to correlate to your genitals. your hobbies have to correlate to your genitals. who you date has to correlate to your genitals. whether you can put sparkles on your eyelids or not has to correlate to your genitals. and then people like me go "hmm. I might not do that. maybe I'll just do what feels fun and okay instead" and they LOSE their MINDS
people were for real just posting unironic public abuse callouts about their roommates not loading the dishwasher correctly
I once got called rapey for coming out as trans to a straight girl friend I had a crush on and who I knew didnât like me back and was not asking out đ
I once got kicked out of a house during an eviction moratorium because the landlady thought it was "non-consensual" to let me live there while, you know, a PLAGUE was in the streets.
idk⊠sounds pretty rapey to not want to dieâŠ
Iâve posted a few panels and sequences from various Swedish Bamse comics on here, some of which are fairly well-remembered by certain generations of Swedes. But now, itâs time for the big one, the one that has occasionally been described as âthe most memorable Bamse panel of allâ. Some Swedish readers probably already know what Iâm referring to: The hug.
But first, a little context: During the 80s, Bamse and his wife, Brummelisa, had three children. In issue 9, 1985, of the Bamse comic book, these kids are talking to one of their friends who is proud to show off her newborn young sibling. One of Bamseâs kids, being somewhat jealous, tells the friend that theyâre also going to have a new sibling. Word starts to get around, and eventually reaches Bamse and Brummelisa, who are, needless to say, both quite surprised. When they figure out how the rumor started, they donât make a big deal out of it.
But thenâŠ
âIn the evening, when the kids have gone to sleep, they sit for a while in front of the TVâŠâ
âThen Brummelisa whispers something in Bamseâs ear.â
âAnd that night, they hug each other for a long timeâŠâ
And thatâs where the comic ends. In future issues, Brummelisa is pregnant, and eventually gives birth to her fourth child.
Itâs that last panel that has stuck with me, and probably most other Bamse readers at the time. The fact that a funny-animals comic for children went there. That it didnât shy away from it, that it said yes, this where babies come from.
saw this on Insta and the idea that people who are anti-AI are just using it anyway like... willing to give it up? I ACTIVELY AVOID THAT SHIT BUD! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?
ALSO
It's not as if this shit has been around SOOO LONG. We all existed JUST FINE before this shit became THE THING someone decided to shove in our face like...
#People who use Ai are so convinced everyone else does too but they're just fucking stupid#I have to take time to learn about AI because of work but if it disappeared completely tomorrow I would feel nothing but relief#I would buy a huge victory cake and eat so much it made me sick
Summer vacation does not exist because we thought kids deserve a break. Its because they had to work.
When education became a public good, it was so that farm children could assist at harvest. Easter and christmas break are due to religious rites. They were such a staple of the culture that after most children weren't requiered to work the land anymore, they remained.
Now we realise time off is good for children and families. But it wasn't, and would not now be, instituted for those reasons.
GIRLS THAT'S FUCKING TERRIFYING,, PLEASE FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONES GET NEW ONES IF YOU HAVE TO GET AN INDEPENDENT SIM card WHAT IS HAPPENING
I'M BEGGING YOU
THEY CANT DO THIS TO YOU PLEASE

For a second I didnât realize it meant âhighâ as in a stonerâI thought âHigh Geologistâ was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

Jag Àr sÄ uppspelt pÄ Yona of The Dawn (eller Yona: Gryningens Prinsessa, vilket var en bra översatt titel tycker jag) har kommit pÄ svenska! Jag vill verkligen stödja svensk manga. Jag tycker det Àr sÄ synd att media generellt slutas översÀttas förutom om det Àr engelska. Okej sÄ jag antar jag bara ska sÀga vad jag ville göra en post om.
SNĂLLA stödja Idegranen Förlags utgivning av Yona! Om du Ă€r intresserad av manga, vill lĂ€sa shojo och vill ha mer svenska översĂ€ttningar ge stöd till Idegranen. Dom verkar vara ett vĂ€ldigt nytt förlag och Yona Ă€r en lĂ„ng shojo action manga, vilket inte brukar bli licenserat pĂ„ engelska. Ja Yona Ă€r den mest kĂ€nda lĂ„nga shojo action manga, men Ă€ndĂ„.Deras enda andra titlar Ă€r HĂ€xmĂ€starens Kontrakt och uhh, jĂ€vla light novel titel vĂ€nta, Den HĂ€r GĂ„ngen Lovar Jag Absolut Inte Vara i VĂ€gen, vilket helt Ă€rligt nĂ€r jag lĂ€ser vad den handlar, jag kanske kommer lĂ€sa den. Grejen Ă€r, kĂ€nner du till dom hĂ€r? Nej, troligen inte. Helt Ă€rligt om du inte Ă€r ganska intresserad av manga sĂ„ har du sĂ€kert inte hört om Yona heller, MEN, lita pĂ„ mig Yona Ă€r en mycket kĂ€nd serie med (om jag minns rĂ€tt) 48 volymer. Det hĂ€r Ă€r en commitment att publicera. Och det gör mig sĂ„ sĂ„ glad att Idegranen Förlagâs första lĂ„ngserie ska bli Yona, specifikt för att det Ă€r en shojo. Det Ă€r faktiskt dĂ€rför jag vill sĂ„ gĂ€rna uppmuntra folk att stödja förlaget, för engelska förlag, Ă€ven om det har börjat förbĂ€ttras otroligt, brukar inte prioritera shojo titlar. UrsĂ€kta om jag upprepar mig sjĂ€lv lite, andra shojo eller yuri fans kanske förstĂ„r vart jag kommer ifrĂ„n. Det kĂ€nns lite som man har en plikt att stödja officiella publiceringar av shojo eller yuri.
Okej, sÄ jag köpte Yona: Gryningens Prinsessa och helt Àrligt? Kvalitén av inslaget kan förbÀttras, bokryggen Àr lite tajt, men annars sÄ Àr jag vÀldigt nöjd med översÀttningen! Om man Àr vann vid licensieringen av typ Viz Media (eugh, blÀ) eller Yen Press (min Àlskade <3), sÄ kanske Àr den hÀr lite underwhelming. Men den Àr inte dÄlig, jag vill bara vara Àrlig om vad jag tycker. Och dÄ menar jag inte storyn, storyn Àr peak, men hur den Àr bunden. Och bindning Àr inte dÄlig heller, bara har rum för förbÀttring.
Lite mer info dÄ jag kÀnde att det saknades lite om vad den handlade om och mÄlgrupp. Kanske skaffar denna till ett syskonbarn.
the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this
t his is what most people want queer/trans rep to be

Sometimes I just wake up really annoyed about something that happened recently. It's like my subconscious mind has spent the night sifting through recent events to find examples of severe injustice, that my conscious mind then needs to think through to work out why things happened the way they did.
This morning it was a message I got from a transmasc acquaintance after an event we ran together saying they thought it went quite well but they felt like they had done most of the work and I hadn't done enough.
This was an event to which they arrived half an hour late, so I had already spent half an hour doing all the set-up alone. "That's annoying" I thought at the time, "but maybe they can do the clearing up." Nope! They told me when they arrived that they would have to leave early, before the event was even over! OK, so I am running the last hour of a two-hour event by myself, and then I have to tidy up on my own, put all the furniture away, do the dishes, clean the floor, lock everything up, then I can go home 2 hours later than them. OK, but at least we were sharing the burden of buying drinks and snacks for this event, that was what we agreed, right? Nope! Sorry, but they forgot to buy drinks and snacks, so it's lucky I bought extra, which is what I was doing with my morning while they were forgetting to do anything helpful. And after the event is over, do I send a message saying "It's not fair that I did all the work"? No, of course not, I just say thank you.
So what, I wondered, are they talking about when they say I did nothing? I ask, and they say that they had to send out email reminders to everyone on a pre-existing list of emails. This took them half an hour, because they did it by sending each one individually rather than putting a list of addresses in the BCC bar which would've taken less than a minute. So from their PoV this is what happened: they spent half an hour sending emails and I didn't help. Then they came to the venue, we both ran the event for an hour, then they left. Therefore I did 1 hour of work to their 1.5 hours, which is unfair, hence the message.
I was trying to work out how the fuck this person could've reached adulthood with what appears to be a total lack of object permanence. As soon as they left the venue, the dishes ceased to exist, so no one had to clean them; the chairs ceased to exist, so no one had to put them away; the attendees ceased to exist, so no one had to run the event for another hour.
And then I remembered that this person grew up with paid domestic servants (and not for reasons of disability but rather for reasons of economics), and still has them because they live with their wealthy parents. This is someone who doesn't think about doing the dishes, because they have never done the dishes. This is someone who dumps their dirty clothes on the floor, and the next day they are clean and folded. This whole thing is about gender, yes, but I have known cis women and men who behaved exactly the same way, because it's also about socioeconomic class.
In my post about the mental health crisis line I used to work for, I talked about how charities like that often attract people from a high socioeconomic class who see working there as more of a vanity project that looks good to their peers than as a genuine opportunity to help people who are suffering. And if your volunteer team is of a high socioeconomic class, but the people you're helping are typically of a low socioeconomic class (as trans people generally are), it can be a really dangerous dynamic that becomes at best paternalistic and at worst pseudo-colonial, because the stark privilege dynamic means the volunteers are primed by their own bigotry to not care about the lived experience of those they are "helping".
But it's also dangerous to the other volunteers if some of them have this classist attitude of important vs unimportant labour - it means you are inevitably going to get the less privileged volunteers doing far more work than the more privileged ones, because the more privileged volunteers already imagine that most of the labour just gets done by magic elves.
I'm seeing an Alphonse Mucha exhibit on Saturday!
He was a Czech artist known for his Art Nouveau style. A lot of his work influenced Sailor Moon!
I'll be sure to take tons of pictures and share some on here! :3
