“If the mystic says: “I am because I am God,” or if Descartes says he is because he thinks, Cathy must say: “I am Heathcliff, therefore I exist.” Her hyperbole is the climax and endpoint of the long tradition making love a private religion in which the loved one is God and there is a single worshipper and devotee.”

— J. Hillis Miller

Trans men often choose a short, common, traditionally masculine name close to their dead name when they first come out. Then a few years in they’re like “Fuck it, I’m done trying to fit in and make my transition easier for everyone else. I’m no longer Aiden, I’m Silvanus Bartholomew Wriggly III.”

Nothing makes me angrier than the “Minimum wage jobs are intended for teenagers, of course adults can’t live off the wages, they should get real jobs.” bullshit. Not only are you pro child labor but you’re pro underpaying children for their labor? Also, there are so many teenagers out there working to survive and pay rent and support themselves and their families and these jobs are fucking brutal. Pay them what they deserve.

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.
