All-Purpose Geekery

Gaming, politics, social justice, atheism, art, rantings, cute things, and whatever pops into my art-school-corrupted brain.

[rinokami]

Since, for some reason, there has been an influx of followers (hello actual new people, goodbye bots and people of questionable morals I’ve already blocked), here is a PSA: I am a 30+ grown woman and I swear like a sailor.  I also almost never tag things.  If you are a minor and/or any of that bothers you or would put you in an awkward situation at work or home or whatever, you can unfollow me now, because that ain’t gonna change. (You take care of you, sweetpea.)

Now time to clear out the riffraff:

Black Lives Matter.

Billionaires neither earned their money nor deserve it, fuck capitalism.

Climate change is real.

Defund the police.

Fuck Fascists.

Fuck Nazis.

Fuck White Supremacists.

And that includes Trump and the American Republican party.

I am an atheist, however being an atheist does not make you better than a believer. There are plenty of godawful fascists, eugenicists, racists, misogynists, and otherwise assorted fucknuts in the ranks of atheists and they can all rot.

If your feminism is not intersectional, it doesn’t count for shit.

Vaccines do not cause autism. Even if they did, why would you prefer a DEAD child over an autistic one? You sick bastards.

Also fuck Autism Speaks.

Queer is not a slur and no ignorant teenagers/20-somethings buying into TERF rhetoric on Tumblr will change that.  It was reclaimed before you were born and I guarantee more of you have had “gay” lobbed at you as a slur than “queer”, but I don’t see you bitching about that word. (Gee, wonder what the difference is?)

Asexual and Aromantic people belong in the LGBT+ community because they have always been here. You can’t refuse to “invite” people into a community they fucking built, you shits.

That goes for trans people too. Yes that includes agender, genderfluid and non-binary people.

Trans women are women and trans men are men, with or without medical procedures.

And quit fucking with intersex people before they’re old enough to consent to shit.

Thin does not equal healthy and fat does not equal unhealthy, and even if it did it still doesn’t make fat people lesser humans than thin people.  If you are encouraging people to obsess over calorie counts, purposefully showing gross pictures of food to dissuade people from eating, and saying that being the “fat friend” is worse than hunger pangs, you have a disorder and you are encouraging disorders in others.  Get the fuck off Tumblr and go to a therapist before you kill somebody. (Yes this is directed at one blog in particular that tried to follow me and got immediately blocked. Seriously gtfo with that shit.)

Shut up and let people enjoy things that aren’t harmful, in ways that aren’t harmful. (That includes the furries and the “cringey” teenage girls, btw.)

You can be critical of media and recognize its flaws while still enjoying it.

And fuck pedos.

I think that about covers everything.

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

[hungry-skeleton]

Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.

[hungry-skeleton]

Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing

[hungry-skeleton]

This image is so so fucking important to me

Apparently someone got their car stuck on the light rail tracks at Mt. Baker. For those unfamiliar this is 35 feet up in the air

I feel like the Arizona license plate should take some place in our analysis of whatever in the goddam fuck we’re looking at here

i don't even gaf about shipping discourse because i'm a big boy and a bad person for other worse reasons but if i can be real for a moment "proship DNI" in bio means nothing to me. if you want to keep me out you're going to need to line your blog with salt and iron or rat poison or something.

[valtsv]

actually if i were to be less flippant and more brutally honest with you all my disdain for it stems from how much of it is just a thinly veiled excuse for people to fight about their fictional relationship preferences or simply for the sake of arguing without any investment in the reality of what they're claiming to represent and then take pride in their empty, performative activism. i still recommend the rat poison though.

[valtsv]

girl help they are calling me a pedophile sympathiser in the notes for trying to point out that being disgusted by something is not the same as meaningfully working to prevent and safeguard against it by critically engaging with the complex reality of it. can i please just have the rat poison.

[weshallbekind]

I'm still astounded that anyone reads bios. I don't read them. I don't give a fuck. Block me if you don't like me but I'm not fucking going to a blog and reading a bio before I reblog something is everyone insane

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

I love Josh’s anti-classism so much. I grew up in a single parent household that didn’t have time/the ability to cook. I taught myself as an adult and ended up loving it. I cook with this stuff a lot. Shit, the RealLemon juice ends up in a lot of my cocktails. Sure, I like fancy ingredients when I can afford them and I have things I get picky about using - but I have bad hands, mincing garlic is painful as fuck. There’s a lot to be said for knowing how to work with what you have. Don’t shame people for trying, don’t shame people for feeding their families things that they enjoy.

[brunhiddensmusings]

if you are only a good cook if you have access to premium ingredients at whole foods or above prices then you arent really a good cook

[headspace-hotel]

I think about this post a lot because of the phrase "i'll cook anyone's ass under the table."

This is one of the most powerful images I have ever seen, and I will reblog it every single time because every single time it brings tears to my eyes.

[another-discourse-blog]

I think part of the problem is that, like, a hundred years ago there were Extremely Strict gender roles for both men and women, and then due to the hard work of a century of feminists (thank you feminists) we have massively expanded what a woman can be. We are nearing (hopefully) the point where women really can be Anything.

However, the idea of what a man can be has not expanded in the same way. Every man has to be stoic, loud, take up space, and never show weakness. Allowing men to be sensitive, emotional, soft, pretty, and feminine used to be one of the goals of feminism. After all, how are we supposed to see ourselves as truly equal if we still have such strict rules guiding gendered behavior?

Recently, I have seen feminism (trans exclusionary and trans inclusive) solidifying those strict rules of manhood instead of breaking them down. The idea that all men are agressive, stubborn, and will physically overpower you has been parroted so many times, it almost feels like fact. It is forcing —not the men themselves— but the idea of men into the role of the evil wrongdoer. The ways in which terfs have used this image to harm trans women are myriad and obvious.

It used to be common knowledge that feminism also ought to benefit men in this way. If the sexes were truly equal, then men could act feminine, and women could act masculine without social repercussions. This breakdown of gender roles is a good thing! It is freeing for all of us to remove the arbitrary rules guiding gendered behavior.

Men should wear flower crowns and glitter beards and dresses and cry in public and tell their friends they love them. Your idea of men needs to include them doing all of these things. You need to make space in your head for men to be sensitive and thoughtful and caring and safe.
