Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

I kinda like the idea of jax becoming a cautionary tale of what happens when you let dysphoria and self hatred eat you alive. I've met so many of him IRL in my own circles. I think people need to hear it. I need more characters who eat themselves alive and actually have to suffer the consequences of not choosing to be better. It's pretty refreshing to see a different and nuanced take on dysphoria and how it doesn't always manifest the way you would expect.

Okay I don't get most of this at all. I am not a fast reader but it is not hard to read over 30 books a year even so? Unless all you are reading is 500+ page novels and dense nonfiction?

I do a mix of actual reading and audio books. I cannot imagine reading only the dialogue in fiction because how the hell would you understand what was going on?

But also, if you only read the dialogue, couldn't you finish most books in 1 hour and read, like, hundreds and hundreds of books in a year?

I also don't understand what's going on with people complaining about descriptions. I don't visualize much when I read but a good, relevant description still helps me understand the book and characters and whatever point the author is trying to make.

Anyway back in the day I picked up a collection of fairy tales at my grandmother's house that was published in the 1950s, and it had a preface geared towards adults, and one thing that jumped out at me was a statement along the lines of, "the publishing industry has found that the average American adult reads 50 books a year for leisure. This is why we think this book should be among those 50 ..."

Now IDK how accurate that statistic was, and maybe the survey wasn't randomized and was only done among high school or college educated adults. But ever since then I have used that as a doable benchmark for reading, and have found that it is, especially if I include audiobooks and non-leisure reading in the mix.

"if Jax is a trans woman she's still an abuser so she's bad representation so the show is transphobic" you're an idiot. you want your blorbos to be perfect ideal angels, I want my blorbos to be realistic, nuanced, flawed human beings, we are not the same. I LIKE that she's messy and fucked up and problematic, I think it's a realistic depiction of how a lot of repressed and traumatized trans women are. I think the show goes to great lengths to explore how and why she is the way she is, and to evoke sympathy for this kind of person. it doesn't excuse her actions but it does make them understandable. and I think the fact women like that deserve sympathy is an idea worth stating and worth shouting. yes she's a bully and she hurt everyone around her and that may never change. she still deserves sympathy.

ITS PRIDE MONTH!!!!

Nothing is better than animal whose job it is to basically exist In a specific space. Bodega cat basically just lives there. Bookshop dog whose most taxing duty is waking up from naps to say hello to incoming customers. Librarian horse that basically just goes for walkies with their buddy everyday. Doctor's office fish that like to follow people back and forth as they move in the office.

All love and appreciation to the critters and to the kindly humans to make sure they live in peace and joy

My mom for a time was director of tourism for the county. Her office was a welcome center in a refitted old schoolhouse. There was a gift shop and there were maps and stuff, normal welcome center stuff.

She found a scruffy orange kitten out back one day and took him in. Named him Jackson. He became the Welcome Center Offical Greeter Cat.

He was WAY more popular than the gift store or the maps. People would stop in SPECIFICALLY to see Jackson.

Anyway mom got driven out of that job for various bullshit petty reasons involving the fact that two guys on the tourism board hated her for various misogany related reasons, and when she resigned she took the cat.

They were very angry about this. As mom pointed out, though, SHE had paid all the vet bills, for food, ect. Legally, she was registered as the cat's owner and they couldn't do a thing. Jackson came home with her and lived out the rest of his very long life (he died at 17) in she and dad's old farmhouse.

The tourism board had to shut the welcome center and are still baffled as to why things fell apart so much after mom left. They still periodically get questions about where the welcome cat went. Suck shit, Tom and Daryl. It's because neither of you can run more than your damn mouth and you couldn't organize your way out of a wet paper bag.
