Pick Your own name, design yourself. Dye your hair a bunch of colours. Get those tattoos you want. Neopronouns rule. It's Punk to be polite but kick a Proud Boy in the nuts if you see 'em. Tell your dad I said hi and thanks for the sandwich. He/Hymn or They/Them or Roger Rabbit Gender (whatever is funniest). 26 years old. A Bibically Accurate Angel in Human Skin. Nathaniel Cherubim Igneus-Valentine is the name. "Nathan" for short and "Nate" for really short. I don't have sex, life sucks and fucks me enough. The Anarcho punk with dyed hair, neopronouns, and witch knowledge that your parents warned you about. I'll do a free tarot reading for ya if you need it.
It's the degendering (no longer a "girl"/"woman"), it's the infanitalizing, it's the idea that they are either removed from sexuality by being fat or the artist MUST have a fetish or be drawing for a specific sexual audience to even HAVE a detailed fat character to begin with...
I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service
i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.
like what happened to "women are capable of doing everything men can do". If this statement is true the reverse is also true. It doesn't mean they necessarily do but they could. Thats like THE feminist statement in my mind its the most important one and radfems are actively rejecting it. There is nothing but superficial differences between us!!! "Men" and "women" are fictions used to organize society and power in a specific way they're not essential truths. We can go from one to the other freely and easily because we are essentially the same. The massive gulf between us in modern society is political, its not in anyway concrete, essential or biological.
this is exactly why trans men are dismissed by terfs and fundies alike as confused and corrupted little girls: we are living proof that the great high impenetrable fortress of masculinity is as porous as a coral reef. it doesn't need to be appeased or assailed because actually you can just go there and touch all the stuff and hang out and play with the bits and leave again if you like. we must be crazy! we CANNOT be accurate reporters of our own lives.
like, the supremacy and impermiability of any gender is a shell game that depends on killing anyone who flips over more than one shell at a time.
they can't listen to us. their whole worldview depends on it.
the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this
#thank you mr terry#thinking something isn't doing it and doing is all people see#and deep down it means that when the ugly thought reared its head to be realized#you stood up in front of that ugly hurtful thought and said 'sit down'
Pardon me, but I needed to read your tags tonight.
How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton
I can't believe some people are actually reblogging this like "Tch. Omg, so embarrassing OP, I can't believe you would ever admit to liking Hamilton 😏 " like ok, first of all congratulations for hatching as a fully formed adult in 2022 from the pure white egg of a virgin swan i guess. Raised in a cave on a diet consisting solely of nuts and berries and leftist twitter clapbacks. "ooooooh, I've never had a complicated relationship with a piece of art that was phenomenally well-received at the time but aged like milk as later reflection revealed the fundamental flaws in its premise that were in fact present from its inception but which I didn't notice because I was 17 and hadn't heard of neoliberalism yet" Should we throw a party? Should we invite Anthony Fantano? Anyway second of all. you draw the line at Lin Manuel Miranda but you're fine with basement guy?
working with kids and one of them says “you know you eat 8 spiders a night on average right?” and another goes “no no no those statistics are actually skewed by people who like eat spiders recreationally for fun and stuff” and my head snapped up like a fucking sleeper agent
