"trans men/mascs have contributed nothing to society and have never made any worthwhile art"

Its almost as if trans men are often ignored or treated as strange women 🤔 I wonder if theres a word for that

No, but seriously, it can be very irritating to try researching historical (queer) women and so many of them are just. Trans men.

"She went by a mans name, dressed like a man, had male friends, had a job that was seen aa being for men, and told everyone she was a man, but when she died, people found out she was a woman???!?!?! wow slay girlboss queen" many such cases

Anyways, here are some notable trans men if you want to research them; i think theyre neat

James Barry, a surgeon who was one of the first to (successfully) perform a cesarean section

Albert Cashier, a soldier for the Union in the US civil war

Alan Hart, a key part in discovering the use of X Rays to detect tuberculosis

Laurence Michael Dillon, who helped pioneer the use of HRT for gender affirming care

Reed Erickson, an integral part of the early LGBTQ movement in the US

Billy Tipton, a renowned jazz musician

Willmer Broadnax, a renowned quartet singer

This is one of those true, declassified government things that always sounds made up but one of the things Henry Kissinger did with his career was use the CIA to help turn small, prosperous socialist nations into fascist dictatorships just to keep those nations powerless and possibly to keep socialist systems *looking* doomed and futile to the American public, like maybe just to scare Americans out of demanding better infrastructure or universal income. Yes it sounds like an insane conspiracy theory a maniac would invent. It also happened multiple times and several generations of people around the world are still living in misery because of it.

The internet is a weird place because I just stumbled across one of my own posts on Facebook, and a few people underneath were talking about how they follow me and love my “content” because I don’t let my multiple disabilities stop me, and I’d just like to say becauseI can’t say it on Facebook without giving away my govt name: what a crock of shit.

I post constantly about how my multiple disabilities hinder me and have actively prevented me from working consistently.

My disabilities prevent me from doing things constantly, because they are disabling. That’s the reality of being disabled.

I don’t do things to overcome my disabilities; I achieve things alongside my disabilities at a pace that does not harm me mentally or physically because I am done with pushing limits. I tried. It almost killed me. I will not do it again, so that temporarily abled people will think better of me for keeping pace with them, or can feel inspired, or whatever the fuck.

And maybe you didn't mean it to come across like that, but please don’t erase what I accomplish alongside my disabilities, not in spite them. And especially please, if you’re also disabled, chronically ill, or just plain old struggling because the world is a dumpsterfire, don’t use me to guilt yourself into doing more.

I would never tell you to push through pain or fatigue for the sake of wildly unsustainable productivity because that shit’ll kill you.

If you do not rest, your body will make you rest. Trust me. I get to live in the ruins of what's left of mine.

“That’s why it’s hard to make friends when you’re older,” she said. “Friendship is rude.”

Her friend’s eyes widened. “What?”

“Think about it! When we’re kids we decide who we like and stick by them no matter what. As adults, we’re taught to be polite.

But, friendship is an imposition— at least, I want it to be. Call me after nine o’clock. Don’t think you’ll ever wear out your welcome. Overshare, show up at my door, go to the grocery store with me so we can waste another hour chatting.

We’ll never be friends if we spend all of our energy trying not to bother each other.”

Dan Hays is a British artist known for painting landscapes that mimic low-resolution digital images, often working pixel by pixel. Colorado Snow Effect 4 is part of his ongoing exploration of how technology influences perception. The painting features a snowy landscape rendered in a way that resembles pixelated digital imagery, blurring the line between traditional and digital art.

abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao

Honestly, it's like picking up a book and saying "I know all these words, I can type, I could have written this" like there's no middle step between the technical ability and the finished work.

Also can we recognize that not liking something doesn’t make it trash? Personally, I’m not a fan of most modern art, it simply doesn’t speak much to me. But as a writer, I know all forms of art are created with a passion and a process and a profound sense of pride.

While the above example might just look like one thing to me, it’s something entirely different to another person.

And with all this AI shit in the mix of things? We should really be celebrating all human made art.
