I am genderqueer. And trans. Also bi. And autistic. And depressed or whatever. My pronouns are ze/zyr and he/him. I don't really know what I am doing and this blog has no theme. I will probably just say things that I think are deeply funny that no one else will care about.

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

its actually very funny to me that lynchs work has this reputation of being very weird and confusing and opaque and so when you watch it you kinda go in expecting to have to sus out a lot of subtle metaphor and symbolism and like certainly its got its fair share but mostly the thing people find so weird about it i think is that he creates these story worlds where the rules of reality are bent to allow for as much literal communication as possible. so much of his work is just characters telling you whats going on and what it means to them so bluntly that it like loops and sounds completely bizarre, like listening to someone describe a dream they had with perfect recall and clarity. it rules. i love being autistic actually.

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

I can't remember where I read it last week, but the person discussed how when we think of chattel slavery in the US, we tend to think of massive plantations of cotton or tobacco, with one very rich white master or mistress with lots of land and lots of enslaved people. But we very rarely think of the many families that had just one or two slaves, in smaller homes.

Because it's not like you had to pay them, so once your family owned someone, they owned them and their descendants indefinitely. Could you pay and eventually free em- sure! You could also send them anywhere you want for any labor you want, could have an enslaved woman bred for more children, or maybe save up and buy new slaves and sell the old. Like cattle (thus, chattel slavery).

So it's interesting that many people go "oh well it's not like my family owned slaves!" Because like, one, how do you know that? Have you ever actually asked your grandmas about their grandmas? How many of your family members grew up with mammies? Have you ever asked? I wonder how many people have actually done the digging for the truth (or was it easier to just benefit). Because I've talked to my grandma, who picked cotton in the sea islands. She had to have been doing that for someone in the 1930s and 40s!

And two, it's easy to think that because your family (or someone else's) didn't own sprawling stolen land and generational blood money like a plantation owner, that it wasn't as important. But... It was. That was still someone's entire life. That was a person, whose labor benefitted and saved a family money that could be used in other ventures. How often do we think of them?

I love saying that I travelled to The Big Apple. Makes me feel like a gnome. A really awesome gnome.

Indigenous history in Canada is suuuuuuuuuuper suppressed. We haven't had the visibility or pop culture impact that Native Americans have.

One of the frustrations of educating people on Indigenous issues in Canada is that the majority of people are starting from level one. Most people don't even know what nations are nearby, can't pronounce the names of local reserves, and aren't even aware of how many words in Canadian English come from Indigenous languages.

Canada is the expert at 'there is no war in Ba Sing Se' level propaganda. I meet immigrants all the time who don't even know we exist, they were genuinely under the impression that Canada was some Nordic European nation or something.

This means I can't assume that allies know shit. If I want people to help I very regularly have to grit my teeth and hold people's stupid hands until they catch up on our politics and terminology.

IT'S A HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS.

But it's part of the work.
