What’s going on here

ohhhh I see so this feeling of alienation and never belonging anywhere will follow me endlessly ok alright

[capybapy]

WRONG!!! you were WRONG!!! you needed to move out of your parents’ house and be friends with people who actually care about you and not just what you can do for them!!! it all turned out ok!!!

[capybapy]

Like. Ok. It took me a long time and a lot of work to get to this point but tldr, it’s a combo of feeling confident in your presence and taking the space you deserve AND the people around you sparking said confidence and making space for you. Both need to exist. If either of those are lacking then the feeling will present itself, and you simply have to do something about it. I was drowning in the sea of that feeling everywhere I went until I had enough of suffering needlessly and made my own pond. Doing so is no small task by any means but my GOD it is worth it.

Heterosexual relationship culture is so alien to me and I don’t know if it’s the fact I’m not cishet or the fact I’m autistic but I hear so many things that make me go “Am I insane or are they?”

There’s a lot of hate on widowers and I saw a woman say “You cannot compete with a dead woman.” which is perhaps a reasonable statement to say if he’s constantly comparing you to his dead partner but that wasn’t what the post was about. And I realized “Oh my God, these people genuinely feel like they’re constantly in competition with their spouse’s exes and the ex being dead makes them feel insecure that they cannot best her.”

There’s also been an uptick in the ‘men and women cannot be ‘just’ friends’ rhetoric which I feel like is extremely dangerous and reflects the rise of fascism and sexism. Some of these stories of women feeling threatened by their husband’s female best friend have some merit and others are like “I feel angry that my husband still talks to the girl he grew up next door to and she and her wife are invited to family gatherings and included in family photos sometimes. Am I right to be suspicious?” No. No you’re not. I cannot imagine being you and living with that high level of stress and paranoia and constant torment and jealousy about your husband having a positive relationship with anyone who isn’t you.

okay look i know this isn't relevant to this post past the second paragraph but. here's the thing. the facts of the case are as follows:

1) I am widowed. my Beloved Wife of Blessed Memory(tm) died in 2019

2) I got together with my current partner about 18 months later

3) when I am committing acts of Foolishness my current partner loves to gesture at the sky to my dead wife, like "do you see this shit, my liege" and regularly says to me things like "[wife's name] was right about this" when my Foolishness inevitably comes back to bite me in the ass

4) this happens. all the time

more importantly:

5) my current partner is on tumblr

6) they love to incessantly send me posts

WHICH MEANS:

7) they just sent me this post with this commentary:

8) they really, really are ganging up on me with her. god help us if there's an afterlife and those two ever actually meet. "eternal rest" my ass, i will never know peace again

[zootycoon-archive]

i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck

[loseremo]

[syzygy-yzygy]

THE ORIGINAL? ON MY DASH

[this-too-too-sullied-flesh]

this post led to a series of events that had martin scorsese himself reacting to his alleged movie goncharov and it has less than 400k notes almost 3 years later?

No disability makes everyone in this ableist society understanding of and supportive of your needs. There's just no such thing as a diagnosis so serious that it makes everyone play nice. The paralyzed person in the powerchair and the terminal cancer patient are also facing ableist bullshit, inaccessibility and discrimination.

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

There are certain disabilities, when they show up in fiction, that are signifiers of a pitiable ("sympatheic") character, such as the quadriplegic man in the motorized wheelchair, or the mother with stage 4 cancer and three young children, that are always accompanied with a swell of violins in the soundtrack.

But don't let that fool you.

People don't react to fiction the way they do to real life. ... And even if they did:

Pity. Is Not. Respect.

Nor is it Consideration, or Compassion.

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

Thanks for reblogging this.

Louder for the people in the back:

Pity. Is Not. Respect.

"Jason Todd having an autopsy scar is just fan-service"

"Jason shouldn't have an autopsy scar because the Lazarus Pit heals all scarring"

"The white stripe is fan service"

.

Have you considered that no one else having any scars is fucking weird?

Dick has been doing vigilante work for nigh on 20 years in canon. He should be covered in fucking scars. He got shot through the head and lost his memories for a while. Where's his fucking bullet wound? He got shot by Harvey Dent. That was the wound that separated him and Bruce, wasn't it? Where's that scar? And so many more.

Tim has been doing vigilante work for over half a decade in canon. He should have fucking scars. How about when he got stabbed through the Spleen and had emergency surgery? How about when he got shot through the throat? Where are his scars?

Damian had a metal spine at one point, didn't he? Where are his surgical scars? He was trained to be an assassin, surrounded by assassins, born of an assassin. Where are his scars from training?

Even Bruce is clean skinned. Didn't he have his back broken? Multiple surgeries? Doing vigilante work for OVER 20 years? And also trained by assassins? No scars from training. No scars from bullet wounds. No scars from dying or nearly dying several times.

.

The real question is, why is Jason the only one WITH SCARS AT ALL? They've all been through HELL.

Is it classism again?

It's classism again, isn't it?

[keepsdrifting]

Let me be clear, I do understand why it doesn't make sense for Jason to have an autopsy scar. However. I still think my point stands. Why is he the only one depicted with any scars at all?

"going out to get milk" is a common turn of phrase used to describe a man abandoning his family.

the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.

this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.

therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:

- being a cow

- being an almond

- being a woman

- being a coconut

- being in the omegaverse

- being an oat

(list is exemplary and not finite)

in this essay, i will redefine the nuclear family and explain the seductive and inflammatory nature of the 1993 "Got Milk?" commercials.

Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:

Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."

It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.

after a couple hours chopping dried sea urchins into tiny pieces with a razor blade you start referring to the razor blade as yourself in your thoughts. a little while afterwards you'll inevitably think something along the lines of "i'm getting a bit dull, i'm going to have to throw myself out & get myself a new self" at which point your internal monologue has pretty much returned to baseline

This happens with mobility aids too. I bump into shit with my forearm crutches and say "ow" before I realize those are not, in fact, More Legs. Then when I get up and try to walk without them for a second there's a moment of feeling like a dog walking upright
