[saedynee]

welcome to my (side)blog!!

i figure there's a few new people here (welcome!!), so i should probably make a little intro/about me:

so, hi! you can call me sae (like "say"); that's my online name, but on this sideblog i'm pretty free with implying what my real name is too

he/they — bi — 24 — begrudgingly australian

my main blog where i post about dc comics is @saedyne

and this is my sideblog for other fandoms + general tumblr posts

things in other fandoms will usually be tagged with the fandom, but otherwise i give myself a break from thorough tagging here

occasional posts with mature topics, very occasional nsft, entry to this blog is at your own risk and discretion

my posts are tagged #sae originals

[saedynee]

also shoutout to my really tired old white guy gynecologist who when i said "i want a hysterectomy" did not push back at all and instead sighed, and without looking up at me from his tablet went "We'll have to do a bunch of stuff for insurance because it's a scam and otherwise they won't approve it" and then after laying out the plan walked me out and i dont know if we made eye contact once after shaking hands, which is exactly the kind of medical care i want in this day and age.

[dajo42]

no, mother... you should have read my supposed "school field trip" permission slip closer.... i foresaw your betrayal a mile away.... im afraid, mother, it is you who has been sold to one direction

[polari]

[twirling my hair] haha…and what does that portend ;]

[papayajuan2019]

hey, do you mind if i immensly value our relationship, in a way i'll never properly be able to fully verbally communicate

[mortalityplays]

there is no single argument against including trans women in sports that doesn't boil down to "women aren't supposed to be good at this" and it's fucking insane to me that every woman in the world isn't up in arms about the way this issue has laid institutional misogyny bare to the bone

[mortalityplays]

then again it has also revealed how many misogynistic cis women believe in their own exceptionalism to the point they feel they benefit from "women aren't supposed to be good at this" and will use every tool in the white imperial torture kit to ensure the acceptable categories of 'woman' and 'good' remain shallow and narrow enough for them to force themselves into a position of supremacy.

I didn't read your email but I gave it a sniff

[tpwrtrmnky]

"Parasocial" getting collapsed into "thinks the e-celeb is your personal friend" is understandable given how common that particular version of it is, but there are definitely a lot of subtle and really common ways to be parasocial out there that go unnoticed while doing harm, such as looking at the theming of someone's online presence and assuming they must be Like That offline too.

Gotta always keep in mind that chances are the blog that only posts about Pokemon or whatever is run by a person who has a bunch of different interests offline and just uses the blog as their designated outlet for that one interest.

[tpwrtrmnky]

You look at a blog that's just endless posts about Pikachu, and conclude that the person running it is Obsessed With Pikachu.

The person running the blog logs on for half an hour sometimes, queues up a bunch of Pikachu posts, and then logs off. Doesn't even think about Pikachu outside that half hour.

[tpwrtrmnky]

You're not demonstrating the social skills you think you are when you come into the notes declaring that you're unable to imagine someone adapting their behavior to the social context of Being On Tumblr btw

You're actually demonstrating a very "the teacher lives at school" understanding of posts on the internet
