If a trans girl introduces you to her stuffies it is imperative that you say hi to them.

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

just got asked "sorry, are you a man or a woman?" over the phone and I just said "ahh that's not important right now" but when I got off the phone I went TEEEE HEEE HEEEEE and skipped around. very masculine behaviour. never beating the nonbinary allegations am I

update: met Phone Lady in person (I was going to a house viewing) and I could tell she was scrutinising me and eventually she just gave up and asked AGAIN and I gave her more vague half-answers. I love having long hair and androgynous features #letsconfuseoldpeople

honestly “the lion doesn’t concern himself with” is a pretty good anti-ocd phrase

[headedoutleft]

the lion doesn’t concern himself with managing other people’s feelings

[headedoutleft]

the lion doesn’t concern himself with what ifs

[headedoutleft]

the lion doesn’t concern himself with germs

[headedoutleft]

the lion doesn’t concern himself with reliving that one excruciatingly painful moment for the one thousandth time and imagining a better response

Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.

it's such bs that the whole guilt-ridden stoic self-sacrificing martyr thing doesn't work outside of fiction. repressing all your emotions and neglecting your physical wellbeing should make you god's most tragically beautiful morally unassailable little soldier of righteousness but all it does is give you bad skin and gastrointestinal problems

[mumblesplash]

like what do you MEAN the number 1 sexiest character trait of all time is just kind of offputting and bad for you in real life. next you'll tell me smoking has consequences other than looking like a mysterious badass

watching my husband get diagnosed with and treated for sleep apnea over the last year was not the thing that radicalized me re: weight and healthcare but my goodness it has solidified my stances.

sleep apnea is more common in people who are fat.

society decided for some reason that this meant that being fat causes sleep apnea. its often difficult to get referrals for sleep apnea treatment if you are fat, because some PCPs will tell you try losing weight first.

turns out!! having untreated sleep apnea causes weight gain in a not-insignificant number of people. it also makes it fucking impossible for many people to lose weight.

my husband worked out the same amount before he got a cpap as he does now. there have been no major diet changes either. yet he has been losing weight -- and gaining muscle tone -- consistently since he started using a cpap in january.

also, his blood pressure -- which was high, which docs blamed on his weight/diet -- went down significantly within one month of starting cpap treatment, before his weight changed significantly.

ANYWAYS. this is getting long. two final thoughts.

- I Want To Strangle Medical Fatphobia With My Bare Fucking Hands

- if you are exhausted constantly for "no reason", and especially if you snore, you should probably ask your doctor about getting tested for sleep apnea. it is extremely common -- estimates are around 1 in 10 people -- and is also wildly under-diagnosed. like, some estimates suggest that 80% of people with moderate-severe sleep apnea are undiagnosed.

I wish people would stop devaluing friendship in a misguided attempt at valuing QPRs. I just saw a post where the ENTIRE point was that the two characters were "just" friends and someone called it a QPR. And yeah you could see their relationship that way in general but obviously in this post they are "JUST" friends and that's important too.

You can love your friends without it being a QPR! You can be committed to your friends without it being a QPR! By implying otherwise you are treating QPRs as Romance Lite by applying amatonormativity to them by implying they are a superior form of relationship over friendship. No!!! We need to abolish the relationship hierarchy, not simply twist it to fit our own selfish needs, neglecting to account for anyone else! Cut that shit out!
