if yall could stop legally watching these Disney live-action remakes that only exist to ride off nostalgia and zero originality so we can move past this disastrous cinema era to the new generation of stories that would be great

Politicians don’t realise... your my bitch... you work for me... how are you getting rich off the job I gave you and why am I begging you to do your job correctly for me... how does that work out???

Just learned that Caster Semenya lost her legal battle and I’m so fucking sad. this is such a huge loss for intersex people in sports and sets a real fucking dangerous precedent that essentially excludes all intersex people from participating in sports unless they go through (unconsensual) HRT. the blatent racism and intersexism that the court is showing is fucking despicable and I’m so fucking upset. 

i’m also really fucking suspicious that the ONLY people talking about intersexism in the context of this legal descision are intersex people. even when this is BLATENTLY and obviously intersexist like, perisex people refuse to recognize it. and that’s fucking disappointing. i know there isn’t much awareness or solidairty with us, but still. it’s not a big ask to ask y’all to do the bare minimum of explicitly calling intersexism out for what it is.  perisex people fucking do better.

It’s also important to mention that what Caster Semenya is facing isn’t intersexism alone, but anti-blackness, and more specifically misogynoir. Black women are consistently punished for not lining up with white standards of womanhood.

[image ID: two tweets from user Wagatwe Wanjuki. The first is in response to a tweet that reads: “Pretty much every elite athlete on earth was born with a body that does shit differently than “normal people.” Caster Semenya is being penalized for how her body works just because of trans panic. Nobody ever asked Michael Phelps to get a lung removed to make it fairer!”

Wagatwe replies: “Not just because of trans panic. This is also about Black womanhood and Africanness and how we are never “woman” enough.”

Her second tweet reads: “Transphobia, racism, & colonialism are all at play. It’s not lost on me that it’s a court in a white country deciding what a Black woman must do to her body. state-sanctioned medical “interventions” against BW based on perceived deviance from “true” white womanhood aren’t new.”

Stop calling it transphobia and trans panic. It’s intersexism. Caster Semenya is Intersex. These issues overlap greatly but are not the exact same. You WILL look at the rhetoric people use to discuss intersex lives and you WILL critically examine how transgender discussion does not include intersex people. Start putting in the work. Stop calling it JUST transphobia.

And as disclaimer: everything in the tweets is correct EXCEPT for calling it transphobia and trans panic.

Desus & Mero asked him about that and the reason why he got annoyed was that yt people would ask him to do the Wakandan salute as if he was a trained monkey.

As soon as I saw this, it made me think of the white woman who tried to do it to MBJ and he looked at her like she lost her mind.

Thrift stores are like “we have the ugliest shirts that have ever existed on this planet” and gay teenagers are like “do you promise 🥺🥺🥺🥺”

enough with platonic female friendships on tv. let them fuck

[eugeniedanglars]

honestly my dream is to not be famous myself, but to be married to a famous person purely so i could go to events full of other famous people and pretend i’ve never heard of any of them. i would love to watch the look on leonardo di caprio’s face as i ask him what he does for a living and, when he incredulously tells me he’s an actor, take a sip of my drink and ask, “and how’s that working out for you?”

anyone else ever daydream for 6 hours straight and then after ur just like nah let’s scrap that and do it all again but slightly to the left

my brain: *out of breath* Was that good?!

Me in a beret, taking a long draft from a cigarette and leaning back in my director’s chair: once again, from the top, this time with feeling

the celebrity disconnect is becoming so apparent during this time and ill be honest... im loving it. every week people are saying stupid shit and getting clocked for it. society is progressing past the need for celebrities and d-list instagram influencers

[selenastaylors]

men like ansel elgort who create this soft “im woke” persona and stand up for social justices but are actually abusers...scare me. men are scary
