THE SPIRIT OF BUSTER KEATON LIVES ON

[draconym]

The eye doctor is the most fun doctor you can go to. They never steal your blood. They never make you get naked and put on a paper dress. They're just like, "Can you see these letters? It's fine if you can't, we can fix that." And they don't even spell anything.

"sex is real" is a very funny thing to say to a group of people who very famously change their sex on purpose

[mousidy]

in abandoning discussion of the nuances of sex in trans discourse, we've ironically let bioessentialist, binaristic thinking fester and rot out our communities

we've stopped actually challenging the binary, we just slapped "amab" and "afab" over "male" and "female," and we treat transition itself like a mere act of dressup. we let blatant transphobia run rampant all the time as long as people call each other "amab" and "afab" instead of misgendering them directly

"afab bodies," "amab energy," "afab only housing," "amab behavior" THIS IS TRANSPHOBIA. YOU ARE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT PEOPLE'S BEHAVIORS AND BODIES BASED ON THEIR ASSIGNED SEX. THE WORD FOR THAT IS TRANSPHOBIA

sex does not determine your behaviors. sex is not a binary. sex can be changed, and IS changed by medical transition, INCLUDING hrt

is it even a "trans" community if we don't hold these things to be true? how can a community of trans people who bind each other to their agabs like the rest of the world does be called a trans community? come the fuck on

Hades gives Orpheus a trial he knows he himself could never succeed at, but it isn’t just that Hades knows he would turn around. Hades has been failing this trial every single year. He shows up too early. He turns too soon. He is so full of doubt that even the natural order of the world, that Persephone will return to him, is not something he can trust. Hades would fail the trial he has given Orpheus, and he already has. All alone, his blood runs thin.

for over a decade, i've seen posts warning against tearing down stickers because of razor blades behind the sticker. i've torn down hundreds of stickers, and i've never encountered this—i think the razor blade myth makes people less likely to tear down stickers

[dostoyevsky-official]

ok maybe take precautions and use a key to do it (which makes it easier anyway)

[kropotkindersurprise]

yeah, noone got hurt by this because if youve ever taken down a sticker it's extremely obvious if there's anything weird glued under the edges of the sticker, and even if you didnt notice it would be hard to hurt yourself. It's more dangerous with like A4 posters that you might try to rip down in one motion by hand. and then if you do it cautiously there is zero danger again.

[kropotkindersurprise]

I personally just tear down stickers (and save them for my fascist sticker collection!) and then cover the spot up with an antifa sticker. I have done this hundreds of times without ever finding a razor. I have torn down pro-israel stickers in those mentioned months and never found a razor.

I agree that people scaring others about possible razors are more effective at keeping nazi propaganda up than anything else, and that worrying about that is stupid UNLESSS youve heard a specific warning in your city in that month. So. ideally, if you havent heard anyone mentioning personally finding razors under stickers in your city this month, you should shut the hell up warning people about them, because its basically never an issue.

[3liza]

i also havent found any razor blades despite doing hundreds of sticker actions but i suppose it's always possible.

since i dont see sticker posts much i will take this opportunity to add that a good way to piss off the other side if youre engaged in a sticker war is to remove their sticker carefully, clean the surface (alcohol wipes work great for this) so its maximally sticky, and after you apply your sticker, cover it in a layer of any kind of grease. chapstick, baby oil, vaseline, doesnt matter. it will make your sticker impossible to put another sticker on top of, and extremely difficult to grab and pull off the surface without being physically injurious to anyone (including janitorial staff if applicable). im in favor of physically injuring fascists, but razorblades seem like a high risk for collateral damage. an optional step is using industrial adhesives or wood glue to glue stickers down but this is time-intensive. still, the "wheatpastes" i put up on capital hill with wood glue instead of actual wheat paste lasted like three years. all i had to do was dilute basic elmer's wood glue with water and apply with a spray bottle and brush if i was being fancy

[markovchaingang]

my lord. the two statues you commissioned are finally complete. yeah, the double-order with the vast and trunkless legs of stone and the shattered visage. i like to think we captured the sneer of cold command pretty well. it's a really thought-provoking piece my lord. very deconstructionist. i'm sure that even a traveller a thousand years from now could take one look at it and instantly recognise it must have come from an artistically enlightened culture

I’m slowly beginning to accept the reality that 2007 was not last year but in fact almost four years ago

I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me

I like this meme because the stock photos make it seem like the same woman but 10 years older.
