Ambiguity is the best way to live. But on a night like tonight, he was liable to give too much away, to allow these people to peer just a little bit too close into him.

  On a night like tonight, he might've told them about the Temple, and a man with hair the bright white of the moon.

  It isn't the kind of story he would ever consider telling to anyone. The memories of his life at the Temple have always been tied to the base of his soul, but tonight, they were on the tip of his tongue.  

or

sethos' journey to sumeru city brings forth memories he thought he'd forgotten as something in him draws closer to being whole again.

a misogynistic society is so threatened by the concept of trans women - women that "had the opportunity" to be privileged men and chose not to - that they start making up privileges women have in order to explain why trans women exist. going into womens restrooms isnt a privilege, playing womens sports isnt a privilege, yet they present them as such to try and explain why trans women are women for nefarious reasons. a misogynistic society will never understand that trans women have no ulterior motive for being women

Another appreciation ask, but relating to real world application- I'm running lights for a local community theater show and I've been thinking a lot about your lessons and discussions of lighting on dark skin- one of our leads has dark skin and he looks GORGEOUS in the colored LED lights, but the moment he's in one of the stage's dark spots, we lose so much visibility of his facial acting. Since I'm running lights and paying attention to lighting, I caught this and brought it up to the show's director. Sadly we're a very small theater so we don't have the budget to eliminate the dark spots. So our choreographer, who is also a Black man, is going to help our Black lead avoid the stage's dark spots so we can see and appreciate his acting. All this to say, thank you for your lessons! Here's hoping he can go on to score many more lead roles after this! (And happy Black Boy Joy June!)

LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!

Look at you!! People barely look at that lighting lesson, and here you are applying it to the real world to better a Black actor's experience!!! Some people won't do with a digital painting (that they control completely) what you and your crew just made happen for your real Black cast mate. Made your entire production better just by thinking about someone else's needs. By actively being antiracist. I know that's right!! You just made me proud, fr, I love when my teaching changes the world a little!

[djbodyhorror]

your mom jokes don't work when you know someone too well. I would never be in bed with such a wicked woman. That's not even what I had your mom saying last night. I wouldn't speak to her.

[hemipenal-system]

"why when someone mentions trans butches is it always transmasc butches? why are there never any transfem butches" well you also post about how you think all masculinity is toxic masculinity so if i'm being honest i think you probably treat transfem butches like shit and they don't like interacting with you

[hemipenal-system]

“what’s with the endless talk about he/him transmasc butches but there’s never the same for transfem butches” well see it’s actually the same reason there’s seemingly a dearth of AMABed nonbinary people! it’s because you treat them like fucking dogshit!

everyone in the trans community, including way too many trans women who call themselves transfeminists, plays this funny little game where if you’re transfemme you have to look as close to being a cis woman as possible and if you don’t it means you have internalized transmisogyny or you’re idolizing transmisogynistic caricatures. there’s “no” transfem butches because if you want to be masculine and transfem, you simultaneously have to deal with all the people who think you’re a predatory man and all the people who think you only want to be butch because you don’t understand your gender and the way it’s oppressed well enough.

it’s harder to find masculine trans women because being a masculine trans woman fucking sucks. ask me how i know this

[luckyladylily]

Yeah, it's a fucking problem. It's really insulting coming from everyone else, but how vile the trans femme community is to any trans woman or trans femme who is masculine feels like a personal betrayal. Being stabbed in the back by the people who should have your back most. I'm not even masculine by choice but it's really fucking clear the online trans femme community isn't for me anymore.

[fadel-dani]

Imagine what I'm going through right now. Put yourselves in my shoes and imagine what you would do. I'm currently in a hospital in Gaza, as you can see in the picture. I'm sitting in a hospital that's almost completely destroyed, just like everything beautiful that the occupation has destroyed for us.

[fadel-dani]

I can barely write this post. I'm suffering from severe anemia, intense nausea, and multiple fainting spells. Last week, I had several fainting spells and fell on my head. My health is deteriorating rapidly, and I urgently need to buy my medications and painkillers. Please stand by me and help me by donating.

[fadel-dani]

I desperately need your help. I have to pay for my hospital stay and I urgently need to buy my medication. Please don't leave me alone in this ordeal. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference and save my life.

[closet-keys]

Please continue to support my friend Fadel! He is very sick and has been hospitalized for well over a week at this point, which means medical bills for care. He needs medicine for pain relief and treatment. Imagine being near death in the hospital and then having the power go out from bombing and the supplies starting to run out from deliberate blocking of essential aid. This is what he is enduring. Please have compassion and support him.

[fellahimedia]

"Im not mad about Helen of Troy's casting bc im racist but because of historical accuracy" and its the historical accuracy of a myth, a myth made by people who likely lived in the western part of ancient Greece, Modern day turkey. And yet its the Anglo Saxon actors that are casted that are the least "historically accurate" but these racists overlook. How many classicists have to write articles that the ancient Mediterranean was diverse and much more brown than the modern western european conception to get it through these thick racist skulls my god

[alienlike]

the "transfeminist" discourse on this website is so like... white trans women need to be more aware of the fact that asians assigned male at birth are often perceived as more feminine than their white counterparts. if you're black, it's the opposite. they speak like everyone starts out the same, but that's just not true. you, as a white person, are far more free to explore femininity/masculinity than people of color are.

[alienlike]

they also don't seem to understand the ways in which cis women of color are forced to interact with western ideas of gender. the darker your skin is, the more masculine you're often thought of being. i said this the other day, but not all cis women get to enjoy the cliche soft femininity filled with flowers and rainbows. darker-skinned women are not handed femininity on a silver platter. maybe take that into consideration the next time you try to pull some theory out of your ass

[the-nerdy-autist]

Why do you assume 1. No cis white women are ever policed for being masculine 2. That all cis white women enjoy femininity being pushed on them?

”Explain yourself” followed by “stop making excuses” has always baffled me because the fuck you think explaining myself is????

[rederiswrites]

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.
