Maybe everyone lives in hell

She/her, 25, call me Sin, I don't tag for content warnings so this is as much warning as you're likely to get

I think it would be useful to have a list of tags I use on a pinned post so I can easily search my blog for them

Black roses, for the failed revolutionary.

A heart that yearns for eternity, too, could be considered beautiful.

We joke about the akio sex car but truthfully what a well done metaphor for sexual assault. A car can only ever have one driver, the person in control of where you’re going and how you get there. The passenger, ultimately, has no real power to ensure you get to your destination safely; that’s up to the driver. If the driver chooses to drive recklessly and dangerously, the passenger has no choice but to be there for the ride. It’s such a simple and effective way to show loss of control and helplessness

its so awkward when people ask me why i dropped out and i have to be like "inadequate disability support" bc no one wants to hear this. they're always like i thought they had to provide that though isn't it the law? girl you might want to sit down i have some bad news about the litigation-based enforcement of the americans with disabilities act

then if i do say that theyre like, couldnt you sue? well theoretically maybe but not without spending more money than i have and putting myself through absolute hell. so no. no i can't.

Girls I am looking you in the eye and holding you tight. 99% of all things people describe as being female or male puberty is made up bullshit. Sex is not as black and white as you think (nor is it real for that matter.) Please. Dont listen. Jaw sizes and leg lengths and whatever is made up, misogynistic, and sometimes even race science. PLEASE im begging you to not hold yourself to such standards, much less other people.

I don't believe "canary in the coal mine" is a good metaphor for liberatory politics

[fus-mar-hoz]

the retrocession or worsening of social conditions is never a straight line and it would be reductive to position any one particular group or issue to be the "first one to fall". the attacks on entire social groups are never single strikes either, quantitative into qualitative etc. you need to look at trends, conditions, internal movements, not a kind of lighthouse that can cut through the idealist fog of taking the whole to be the mere sum of its parts

I have a greater claim to erudition than you. This fact would be obvious- (pause to smirk) were you as erudite as I.

as far as bdsm tests go, “spend a week sharing a closet” ranks quite highly

with local censorship getting worse and worse i've gotten into the habit of buying physical porn whenever i come across it secondhand. i'm now $5 poorer and the proud owner of the bare wench project (2000) by way of local thrift bookstore.

[transxfiles]

i kinda want this to be a joke post but at the same time i'm genuinely scared of the increase in censorship at the local level. the reason i feel the need to pick up some of this stuff when i see it in the wild is because cultural christianity and conservatism impact everything so much here to the point that, most of the time, any art that could be considered even remotely scandalous is at risk of being thrown away / destroyed for its perceived obscenity. i keep thinking about all the stuff that's gonna be lost.

i might've mentioned this before on here but i went to an absolutely beautiful estate sale months ago. it was clearly a home that had belonged to two lesbians who loved each other so much. they had a rich library of feminist texts and so much stunning art throughout the house. the estate sale had been outsourced to a christian organization who, as the estate was going on, were actively destroying, censoring, and throwing out pieces in the house that they perceived as sinful. they were also verbally denying that two women had lived in the home and telling various conflicting narratives in an attempt to erase the history of the house. i was lucky to arrive early and swipe up a bunch of queer books before the organizers realized what they were working with and started to destroy the history of the home. even if i hadn't seen some of their censorship directly, i could see gaps left in the home library of the two women myself - at least one of the women had been fluent in french (like me) and half of the library was in french. the french books (written in a language that i'm assuming none of the organizers could understand) contained much more obscene titles, content, and topics, as well as a variety of books explicitly about lesbians and women in love with each other. i also found some explicitly lesbian titles tucked away in corners of the house that would be out of sight, and am certain that there were countless more that had previously existed in plain sight and were taken off the shelves before the house was opened to the public.

i get so sad knowing that this sort of censorship happens where i live every day. so like yeah i've gotta pick up the titty dvds before the church ladies explode them. but also. it's becoming more and more commonplace to get rid of anything that can be vaguely marked as "too adult" or "too transgressive". people will toss a book with "gender" in the title. i get so sad thinking about the art that is being lost and suppressed every day.

one of my friends lives in a big city nearby and would frequent the only openly queer bookstore there. she just stopped in last week and they told her that they're having to move to an online-only model because they kept getting threats of violence at their current location. they started looking for a new location and applied to at least three different spots across the city, and were explicitly denied the ability to rent any of them because of the books they carry. and this is a big city with a vibrant queer scene, with queer bars and queer nightlife and events and so many queer people out in the streets as citizens of this place every single day.

*widely praised poetic quote in a foreword by a usamerican translator voice* see this language.... it's not like other languages. sometimes it has metaphors. or abstract thinking. sometimes a word has several meanings. sometimes a lot of meaning can be condensed into two words. sometimes those words even have etymologies. sometimes if you translate idioms or break down the components of words you can get something pretty cool in english. and naturally this gives us essential insight into the timeless national character of its people

they should normalize saying "I'm thinking of you fondly but don't have much to say and frankly I don't even really want to talk rn but you have appeared in my thoughts and it's nice"
