it's been said a thousand times but "male loneliness epidemic" is just our entire generation's loneliness PANdemic. it's just the crisis of capitalism. almost all young people these days are lonely and depressed because of the crisis and decay of the system we live under and tbh the centering of "male loneliness" in this discussion is embarrassing but also a really understandable consequence of sexism & this current stage of culture war . "Oh won't someone think of the young men" oh won't someone think about class consciousness lol

[loveanddeathrock]

I feel it necessary to point out that this has been a growing and evolving crisis for many decades now. In the past this loneliness crisis primarily effected the elderly, the disabled, the mentally ill, the destitute and so on. And it was seen as acceptable by governments and society at large. Over the last two decades however, it has grown to effect younger and younger people, but also, increasingly wealthier people as well. It's now recognized as an "epidemic" because it has come to harm "undeserving" people. This is a common story, similarly, there is evidence to show that HIV/AIDS first arrived in North America back in the 60s, but it would not be recognized because it primarily effected poor substance users. It wasn't until a white middle class gay man died of it that anyone paid heed. He was dubbed "patient zero," and then suddenly people paid attention, (though whether they cared is an entirely different story, in America, the government and officials did not as it was viewed as a consequence of "lifestyle choices,")

I recently came out to my mother's side of the family who are majority conservative christians and it went much better than I expected. Like, they were weirdly supportive. I only got one comment insinuating that I might possibly be going to hell but it came from my aunt and she's dying soon anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway, I'm telling them how shocked I am and that I honestly thought that they'd have more of a problem with it when my grandma is like "Well you know we've been through this before with your uncle Nicky" and I'm like "what" and so it turns out that my uncle Nick was born a Natalie, came out as a boy at 19, and my great grandma proceeded to pay for his top surgery and hormone therapy. In 1974. And I just had to process for a bit because my entire life no one has referred to him as anything other than he/him and his chosen name. I ask why no one ever thought to mention this and they're just like "tbh we forgot. It's been so long that he's been a man" This man is married. He has a wife and three kids. I ask my relatives how they went about having kids, whether through adoption or sperm donor or what and none of them know. Apparently he just told everyone that they were gonna be parents and then one day showed up at my grandma's house with a baby. No questions were asked. Just. He and his wife had a baby now and that was that. Three times. Weeks later when I finally talk to my aunt Sarah (Nick's wife) all she tells me is that neither of them have ever been pregnant and, I quote, "sometimes you just come into children". She phrased it like people use the phrase "come into money". Like children are something that just happens to you. I ask my relatives if any of them had a problem with Nick being trans at the time, saying I'd understand if they had negative feelings about it, as it was the 1970s after all. They were like "nope" and i was just like "you didn't think anything of it?" And my grandfather was like "these things happen" while the other adults nodded sagely. So I guess the moral here is that if my conservative christian relatives could accept my uncle as trans in the 1970s then there really isn't any excuse for anyone. And also my family needs to ask more questions because I'm fairly sure my aunt and uncle stole their kids.

I'm laughing my ass off at that last sentence- But I'm so glad your coming out went well! That's one heck of a way to find out you have LGBT relatives.

i will give tiktok one concession and that is that it has spawned a comment that contains a phrase that i think of often at relevant moments: pack it up boys we've made a social blunder

wish literally any gay papers would talk about lil nas x cause every article is either written with contempt OR makes sweeping assumptions by only quoting the cops and blatantly lies about things they contradict in their own article. like how is there no coverage of support or efforts to keep an eye on his location?

shortest possible story is that he he got arrested and hospitalized after walking around outside at night, MAYBE having 'an episode', MAYBE he was drunk, maybe he was high, maybe he was just being loud, who knows. Dude was outside at night in boxers and cowboy boots and that's all he did to "invite" police interaction.

But cops claimed he assaulted them so he gets arrested. Then goes to the hospital. Then goes back into custody.

And then he's not heard of for a while, then days later says he's out and okay. But facing FELONY charges!

WHERE IS EVERYONE? Pinknews cunts? Them? OutMag? Hello??

Almost a year later, Lil Nas X is out of a mental health rehab program, looking good, saying he feels really good, and seems to be on the way up after all of this. I'm really happy for him. I hope he has good genuine support in his life through family, friends, and folks rooting on him that he can count on.

I am really disappointed but not surprised how quickly a lot of media support for him disappeared, especially queer papers. An interview from before the police incident really highlighted how many people wanted him to fail and wanted to see him fall, including certain pockets within communities that should have has his back.

Happy Happy Pride to Lil Nas X. I hope nothing but good things come his way.

Yeah the problem with my local queer community is that it's too fucking white. Fucking hell.

EACH ADDITION TO THIS POST MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD

[punkrorschach]

This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.

Basically by using big floaty things to round them all up and then scooping them out of the water.

[transheadcrab]

thank u. i hate it a little less but the horrible little man in my head is still screaming “BOG BODY BOG BODY BOG BODY”, but i appreciate the education,

[bomberqueen17]

oh here is a fun lil perspective on cranberry harvesting i never heard about anywhere else. the guy who owns the restaurant right down the road from the farm, who fries our chickens sometimes, is from Boston, with the strongest Boston accent ever, and in a former life before he started slinging reasonably priced barbeque and occasional organic chicken, he was a cranberry farmer.

His farm was on the leading edge of kinda using organic/sustainable pest control methods, and one of the things that they did to keep insect damage down was that they encouraged wolf spiders to live in the cranberry field, to eat the bugs. 

This was all fine and good until they flooded the bog. Now, you don’t just like flood the bog and then go around it in a boat or whatever. No, you use hip waders to get in there and put the big floaty things where they go and get all the berries and such.

Well when you’re in the bog in hip waders, that makes you the tallest thing. Wolf spiders can swim a bit, but they don’t like it, so they’re, quite understandably, looking to climb out of the water onto a tall thing.

So yeah the first interview question he always asked potential cranberry bog harvester hires was “are you cool with spiders?”

“You’d be amazed,” he said to us, shaking his head a little, “how many guys would just straight lie. Like, you think I’m asking you that question to be cute? Nah man you’re gonna have like a hundred wolf spiders trying to climb your eyebrows, you gotta be chill, those wolf spiders are fellow employees. You really gotta be chill with spiders if you’re gonna work a cranberry harvest.”

Hanlon's razor is a thought ending cliche.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." It can be both. This is a false dichotomy. An action can be due to malice and stupidity, or it can be for a completely different reason like the person is trying to fulfill an emotional need. I hate Hanlon's razor because so often it's basically used to tell victims to shut up and stop whining.

[superkittenstrawberry]

You know what sucks a lot? Rainbow Capitalism. Because it's disingenuous and driven by corporate greed. You know what sucks more and is scary? No Rainbow Capitalism. Because Rainbow Capitalism is emblematic of a society that is embracing queer folks and queer culture and corporations wanting to get in on that to make money. When corporations aren't doing that, it means they view supporting queer folks and queer culture as something unprofitable, because it's being rejected by society broadly or by the powers at be. This isn't saying Rainbow Capitalism is a good thing. It's not. But rather, it's deeply troubling that significantly fewer companies this year are willing to pretend they care about queer folks. All this to say, take care of each other, always support local queer establishments, and stay cognizant of the political climate we are all in to remain safe. Happy Pride everyone! (Especially my trans brothers, sisters, and siblings!) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It's a canary in the coal mine. I would like to point out however that this is less about "society" no longer accepting queer people and more the product of very wealthy people investing in culture war bs instead of divesting from fossil fuels.

Fossil Fuel Billionaires Are Bankrolling the Anti-Trans Movement | Atmos

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

Billionaires would rather our planet go through environmental collapse and kill trans people then make a bit less profit. In such a hateful world, love and compassion is inherently radical. Take care of each other because we are all we have. Solidarity forever.
