tumblr has a fascinatingly large population of the type 'I am a revolutionary communist, and also if you're a woman/POC/visibly queer leaving the house is horribly dangerous and you should live in fear'.

These things aren't like, necessarily mutually exclusive. But in practical terms I feel like revolutions require a bit more risk tolerance than what is usually being put down y'know?

performing hatred of terfs to signal to trans women that you're safe for us is great and all but I do hope you understand that you must examine yourself for transmisogyny too, and that it's not just something exclusive to card-carrying hate groups

I think you're disqualified from talking about queer coding if your only frame of reference is fandom discourse about Sherlock and Supernatural. Sorry.

One day when I'm not still struggling with the dissociation and burnout caused by the fascist invasion of the city I live in at the hands of my federal government, I will write about how the fact that Judith Butler is hated by the right wing, radfems + TERFs, and gender conforming binary trans people (especially transmeds) actually makes complete sense because they're all demographics of people with their own intense attachments to/investments in the sex and gender binary and Butler's work asks us to question, divest, and detach from that very system.

Moriarty & Moran's North Yorkshire Crime Spree

(The Casefile of Jay Moriarty, Book 11. M/M, crime thriller/romantic suspense, 17 000 words.)

The cottage’s decor was sparse and understated: white walls, hardwood floors, a love seat and sofa, and a wood-burning stove off in the corner. A small annex contained the kitchen, and a short flight of stairs led up to a single bedroom in the attic.

It was far from luxurious, but it was pleasant. Comfortable.

“Well?” Jay asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. “What do you think?”

Slowly, Sebastian replied, “You rented us a cottage in the country.”

Jay shrugged. “I reckoned the quiet might … help. With everything.”

“You rented us a cottage in the country,” Sebastian repeated, staring incredulously at Jay. “You hate the country.”

Jay didn’t bother to deny it. “It’s impossible to get a signal out here,” he groused, “and we’re a million miles from everything, and—”

Sebastian slid a hand into Jay’s hair and forestalled any further complaints with a kiss.

I have decided that rather than doing anything to address my many problems and issues, rather than doing literally anything productive or helpful, I'm going to be a semiprofessional shit-stirrer on nextdoor dot com. Really, Dana? There's a new crime wave? What kind of crime wave? I still get reports from local LE and nobody has mentioned a new crime wave. Do you mean the new black families? Is that what you're trying to say? Oh we need new political leadership in the county? To hire more cops to protect the citizens? That's interesting because the two main violent crimes here are domestic abuse-- which law enforcement is notoriously helpless against-- and bar fights. And the bar fights all tend to happen in the same five bars that have had a lot of bar fights for the last 50 years. Do you think we should place cops in every bar? Oh I see that's not what you meant. Why don't you tell me exactly what it is you're trying to say, Mitch (retired)? Be specific

If you're in the UK btw I HIGHLY recommend emailing your MP right now to ask if they drink while representing you at parliament. I'm 100% serious. Emails aren't usually the best form of direct political action (although much better than nothing) HOWEVER putting our MPs in a situation where they either have to admit to drinking while representing You or say they would never do that (thus implicitly condemning their colleagues who do) will help show MPs how out of touch they sound when they defend their right to *check notes* get drunk while voting decisions that affect our entire lives, the climate, foreign policy and the economy.

It's a small change but an important one, and I think enough people across the political spectrum think this is ridiculous that it's actually likely we can make them stop acting this way.
