blockp4rty aesthetic coining

if this describes a preexisting labeled aesthetic i will take it down, i just like calling it this because i think it fits.

blockp4rty (writen as: block party as one word with a 4 in place if the a.) combines simple siloets of the western street fashion and hiphop scenes with the high contrast colours and textures found in scenemo and raver communities. with elements like tight shirts, baggy pants, simpler hairstyles, combined with bold patterns and strong curated accent colours in both fabric and accessories (commonly found in the form of eccentric necklaces, kandi, many silicone bracelets, fishnet gloves, and other bright accessories. the style could also be found in boxier siloets that still utilize the bold contrast carefully curated from bright accessories pieced together from various inspirations.

It’s kind of amazing to me that Terry Pratchett started out writing novels that don’t even pass the Bechdel test and ended up at books like Equal Rites and Monstrous Regiment. I truly believe that the best writers end up being the ones who pay attention, educate themselves, notice flaws and patterns, not because someone yelled at them for not being social justice-y enough, but because they want their writing to really connect with people. Part of me is glad I’m only just beginning to get into the discworld novels, because I feel like Terry Pratchett had a lot to say about the world, and that I could spend MY entire life listening to him and what he said with his.

If you’ve read any of his biographical essays, he talks about that a bit, and not having the knowledge or the language (which we might scoff at but look how rapidly language and terminology changes today then try to remember the earlier books came out in the 80s when some tropes and words in use are now regarded as straight up slurs) to really deconstruct the things he wanted to go into. He even mentions at one point how his wife going to feminist empowerment meetings helped him to understand the things he knew to be an injustice, but just wasn’t a part of his dialogue so he tried to deconstruct it through tropes instead. So you have the fat wizards and their fancy magic who are basically incompetent and bumbling but tolerated by society because they are men, but the women who use practical magics and are good at it, are always living on the verge of poverty and exile, not because their magic is less powerful or to be feared, but because they are women.

By no means is his work perfect when it comes to issues of gender or sexuality, but it’s really, really, interesting to watch his style evolve to reflect his changing thought processes over the years.

Not knowing that you have a villain inside you, a hero, and a bystander is a lesson that everyone should learn.

What is the quote from Jingo, by Sir Terry Pratchett, to the effect of "when someone does something terrible, we want it to be one of Them, because if it isn't Them, then it is Us?"

[shrewreadings]

“It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn’t then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.”

I actually do feel like the "unemployed friend on a Tuesday" meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don't have a job you're more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there's a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

A cis woman tells me that maybe she should transition to gain male privilege as I'm recovering from getting beaten up in the men's bathrooms.

I tell her to be my guest and give me a call when she gets her jaw broken, I always carry a first aid kit and a pepper spray.

She calls me a misogynistic asshole.

A cis man tells me that he'd sure love some T.

Gave him my prescription and best of luck with the constant shortages and getting denied.

He calls me a pussy.

I'm fighting for my life and reproductive rights. I get told to get off women's fights, that it's not about me, like I shed my womb after my first T shot.

I search for support groups for SA victims, and I'm stuck in the same “women/NBs only”. Still shooting my shot, send an application. I introduce myself. Never get a call back.

I go to a trans night. Say I go by he/him. Get told back “yeah, that's how we all start !” by a trans woman. I'm too exhausted, I get up and I leave.

I hang out with my friends, one of them drunkenly says masculinity is a prison we must learn to escape. She gets rows of applause. Back to drinking alone.

Yes I could explain it. But who'd you rather be ? A delusional girl or a man made threat ?Or it could be better, I could just not exist ! And we'd bleach my corpse and I'd become a casualty. Not an F, ot an M, a W for Wound and for Wrong.

I put a candle on a single cupcake, 2 years on HRT. I blow it in the dark. Curtains closed like casket.

And this crap is why I my first response to "lets forcefem everybody" posts is always stfu. Love the vibe but some people will find it actively triggering. Its not innocent fun. Masculitity is my prison but its other people's home and I refuse to knock it or call its patriots fools. You wanna be a man you deserve to be one in peace you glorious bastard

[trashdiscourse]

"Masculinity is my prison but it's other people's home" goes so hard.

I do have notifications still on for this post because I love the sense of community it gives me. We're all just staring at each other blankly and occasionally screaming.

Also for the people who have post dates turned on and just go JESUS CHRIST FOUR YEARS AGO?!
