Sarcastic voice: “But without cops at Pride who is going to protect Pride from …. *checks notes* ….cops.”

If you try fucking w/ gender and it just confirms that you are in fact cis, that still gives you like an upgrade because now you’re approaching your sense of self with Intent™.

"claims to be pro life / dies anyway" is truly the gift that keeps on giving. we can get endless mileage out of it. thank you to whoever concocted this perfect little phrase and thank you especially to antonin scalia for setting the ball rolling here

begging bi girls to stop performatively hating themselves for their attraction to men…i know it seems like all men are trash but you certainly are not trash for being attracted to them and u absolutely deserve a loving and supportive boyfriend if u want one…u girls deserve to have ur hands held!! u deserve hugs and kisses!!!! men can be good and you, specifically, deserve that from them…ur attraction is not wrong and u will be okay i promise

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it a thousand more times: No piece of dystopian fiction has ever been a prediction of the future. They are observations and criticisms of the present.

“Wooow! How did Orwell predict the surveillance state so well in 1984??”

He didn’t. He was making an observation of the surveillance state that already existed in his present, and exaggerated it to make the metaphor obvious.

Learning and discussing these works in terms of them being predictions and having test questions like “do you think his prediction came true?” is not only pointless, but actively counterintuitive. When you frame these works as being ‘people from the past knew that the future would be terrible’ you shift the entire perspective to one of some kind of nostalgia for a past that didn’t exist.

These author’s aren’t oracles. They’re satirists. Their predictions ‘come true’ because they were already true when they wrote them.

It’s the same when people see tweets from last year like “It’s okay if people die as long as we can keep Outback Steakhouse open” and people posting the date of the tweet like “these tweets predicted the future!”

Those tweets observed the present. Because the capitalist idea of sacrificing lives for profit isn’t new. It’s just been taken to its extreme by the pandemic. The idea of “if something bad happens where our government and our upper class need to prioritize life over profit or thousands will die: thousands will die” is hardly prophetic, it’s basic perception.

Are these tweets eerie in how accurate they are, even coming from years ago? Yes, of course. Chillingly so. But not because they predicted something no one could have expected, but because it was already happening to such a degree and so obvious for so long that something would give, and the majority of us could do nothing but sit and wait for it to happen.

employers are like “we have hired exactly enough people for our business to function as long as everyone works perfectly and nobody takes a day off. if our employees are having trouble that’s a them problem.”
