I did this drawing of Phil Ochs and Elvis like two years ago but I never finished it because I smeared the ink and then got mad at it. Looking back it was sooooo cute. Maybe I’ll fix it digitally.

Forever recommending How Sex Changed as a nonfiction reference book, which goes over Hirschfeld, Lili Elbe, Harry Benjamin, Christine Jorgenson, Lou Sullivan, WPATH, and more:

Also important context to the services Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science provided: testosterone was first isolated as a compound in 1927, and first synthesized in 1935. The looting and shutdown of the institute happened in 1933.

you actually feel gaslit when you try to tell white people of a certain age that pewdiepie, with a platform so vast and catering to youth, helped reinvigorate racism and casual dehumanization towards indians because they get all “omg you can’t blame One man for that” like yes i can actually :) we were very incrementally making our way past the gas station indian popularized by apu and indian creatives were finally being given legitimate and serious opportunities (like say what you will about aziz and mindy in hindsight but at the time that was a shift culturally) only for this dumb swedish pig to get online and spark that vile shit right back up. ask any indian with a modicum of pride in their heritage and they can tell you how uncomfortable pewdiepie made us with ourselves

quirky fourth wall breaking character but theyre just fucking. wrong about the medium theyre in. they keep making references to cinematic techniques and directorial styles and the other fourth wall breaking character is like "dumbass we're in a fucking comic book" and they are in a video game.

When I’m fucked up that’s the real me

[rubylovestoshitpost]

The space bar doesn’t even pause anymore, fuck this

[rubylovestoshitpost]

I have these strange moments of clarity. Where I feel like I’m alive again for the first time in months weeks or years. But I can’t even tell anyone I’ve been gone. It’s too scary to tell them that they’ve been interacting with an empty body. I check my phone and it occurs to me for the first time that my father is dead. The last thing I remember is talking to him about tiger woods coming back and winning the masters. At least I think that’s what it was. I remember talking to friends who are also now dead. I go to check social media like Facebook and I don’t have it. I’m in my 20s, but I could have sworn I still had to finish high school.

[rubylovestoshitpost]

Love isn’t enough, I need to remember what happened

[rubylovestoshitpost]

I can’t even stop these patterns because im not me

[rubylovestoshitpost]

I have destroyed and betrayed myself for nothing. If I could go back I would scream and shout and punch myself until she died. You are going to hurt the people you love most and you will slowly lose your mind. You will abandon the only person you can truly rely on and then he will die and you won’t be there. You will lose your mind. Everyone around you will not understand they will think you are lucid and that you are you but you are gone. You can’t even feel your body anymore and you don’t ever control it. You are going to become a passenger in a body that doesn’t even look like yours. You will get uglier and uglier and. It will feel like there is a sword hanging above you but you can’t even reach the memory of what happened anymore. You don’t even know what you did or what you were on. You can’t even get the words out that you aren’t real anymore. Because you aren’t real anymore. You haven’t been around in a while Jim it’s nice to see you are you well? But you aren’t are you. You have destroyed yourself for nothing. You will have nothing and you will die. You don’t deserve what you have and you already have nothing.
