I’m sorry but I think it’s absurd that men have spent thousands of years writing philosophical essays on how to be a good person all while ignoring and/or actively mistreating women, who are in fact people
I don’t give a fuck what Aristotle said about ethics when he literally said women were inferior to men
To the 43 who voted ‘not guilty’, we’ll remember this come midterms. Absolutely disgusting.
Love the liberal response, "argh, we'll vote against you so hard in almost 2 years"
Entirely unrelated, start getting to know your neighbors and start organizing aid, community defense, and supplying each other. The Democrats and Biden will not save us. Liberals are fine with unity with people who fundamentally treat us as though we aren't fully human and choosing to spend time while people are dying running show trials, withholding aid and beating around the bush.
What the fuck
oh dear i shudder to think what it might do to you if i told you about some of the actually radical forms of aid i've given. hooking up ladies with free hormones is like, the TAMEST thing i've ever done to help trans people.
you'd probably spontaneously combust if i told you that most surgeries aren't performed by doctors.
the thing all sherlock holmes adaptations get wrong is making the guy an irredeemable asshole who treats everyone like shit . not only is it not reflective of the original stories they miss that “nice, smart, well mannered dude who snorts coke when he needs to think” is possibly the funniest character ever devised
I feel like the modern equivalent is that guy you think is super well put together until you find out exactly how much red bull he ingests on a regular basis.
Modern Sherlock is that very nice English Professor-seeming guy who you bring a problem and while walking from the door of his office to his desk he starts explaining the entire solution you need
And upon reaching his desk he’s like “Excuse me one moment.” and pulls out one of those huge Monster canisters they legally aren’t allowed to make anymore, cracks the whole thing, chugs it, takes a deep breath, and then nods at you and is like “Alright, and then what you need to do is…”
Imagine how much better the dynamic of bbc sherlock could have been if they did this.
why even modernize it to energy drinks??? coke didn’t go anywhere. we still have coke. energy drinks aren’t NEARLY chaotic enough.
Its is more like you hiring some guy to do private investigation about how your husband maybe cheating on you and Sherlock comes to your house high as fuck. Walks into your living room and without taking a moment to even talk to you or sign any paperwork, he turns around—pupils as big as god—and just says
“Its your best friend Brenda. I’ll email you the invoice.”
and walks right out of your house.
Because when it was written cocaine was legal and even considered healthy and useful by some laypeople, even though doctors knew it wasn’t, and Watson was always trying to stop people from encouraging Sherlock’s addiction because HE KNEW BETTER.
So consider this, Holmes, at 2am, desperately searching the flat for the stashes of NOS cans, only to keep coming up with passive aggressive pamphlets about the dangers of caffeine overdose.
Watson wakes up to a stench like Satan’s ass to find Sherlock sitting by his bed with a re-heated pot of cold brewed Deathwish Coffee that had been hidden in the back of the toilet tank (brewing) for five months. Sherlock is trying to say he’s proud of John’s cleverness in finding most of the stashes, but he’s passed into the fifth dimension and all John gets is a creepy vibrating grin and a sound like a shaken cat.
TLDR, Sherlock did die when he fell off the Falls, but he was so coked up his body didn’t stop moving until like a decade later.
Sherlock as one of those cryptid types the baristas talk about (there’s a post floating around somewhere) who comes in and orders a venti with as many shots as they are legally allowed to add, plus a few more for good measure (and a hefty tip) and then adds energy drink on top of it before chugging the whole thing, to the absolute horror of the cafe staff.
This is the kind of Sherlock Holmes discourse I demand on my dash. Bring me more!
Further discourse! Everyone is missing the fact that Sherlock used cocaine to “escape from the commonplaces of existence” when he didn’t have a case. The drugs are a substitute. Which means that when you hire him he’s stone-cold sober and JUST AS WEIRD.
So it’s more like realizing that your flatmate with the caffeine/sometimes drug death wish will only chill the fuck out when he has some strange mystery to unravel, so you spend your free time scouring reddit posts that might actually feature a real missing person. Or a ghost. You really don’t care which at this point. When you finally find something your flatmate is THRILLED and straight up stops eating because he thinks he can survive on intellectual curiosity alone, and yeah that’s not good, but it’s better than what he was doing to himself before. Your success is comparative, okay? You stick around for the meeting partly because you’re curious, partly because this is your home too remember, and partly because you’ve found that writing up these insane excursions helps pay off your student loans. Your Patreon is thriving. The entire time your flatmate is interviewing this poor SOB he keeps breaking into manic grins and you’re kicking him under the table, trying to help him remember that others aren’t happy about a death in the family. Halfway through he pulls a cigarette from a stash in his smelly bedroom slipper, offering the client one and yeah, that’s very nice, but… no. No thank you. He’s dressed impeccably and has a violin worth millions just lying on the floor, but the flat as a whole looks like a tornado just blew through and there’s something growing on the walls beside the makeshift lab. Is he rich? Dirt poor? Impossible to tell based on the surroundings. The entire time he rattles off observations about the client not at all related to the case and his continuing good mood depends entirely on how impressed the guy is. If he mentions “magic tricks” or “I saw that on Youtube” you’re prepped for damage control.
By 8:00pm you’ve finally convinced your flatmate to look up from his research and go half on a pizza, but the second it gets there he shrieks in excitement and runs out the door, demanding that you follow with your legally dubious gun. You apologize profusely to the delivery guy and double his tip, begging him not to call the cops. No, not because you’re afraid of arrest, you just know the head of the local precinct and he’s a pain in the ass.
You run after your flatmate knowing damn well you have to be up early tomorrow because despite maintaining a private practice you still don’t make enough to get your own apartment.
You are living your best life.
That last post…nailed it
Reminder that most of Sherlock Holmes is now in the public domain.
Like…. just saying.
Personally I see Sherlock as ADHD and no one will ever convince me otherwise
I mean — it’s textbook hyperfixation/understimulation right there — I Also forget to eat and sleep and do Human Things when I’m vibing with whatever makes my brain go, and I Also take (medically prescribed) stimulants when I need to think. And Also adhd understimulation makes mundane existence an agony that one will do nearly anything to escape but at least in the modern day we have things like video games and netflix so it’s a little easier to actually get that escape without y’know completely self-destructing along the way (Sherlock Holmes plays Among Us to fill the void between cases change my mind)
And while it’s entirely legit that a modern ADHD sherlock might self-medicate with energy drinks and home-brewed toilet-tank-coffee, I’d LOVE to see an adaptation where Sherlock just. has a prescription?
So instead of hunting down his secret Bad Habit Stash, John could be like “hey, sherlock- the pharmacy called, your meds are ready” and then sherlock would be all “LATER JOHN IM ON A CASE RN I DONT NEED THEM” and John’d be like “sherlock no that’s not how that works”
And then later once the case has been solved and the existential agony of understimulation sets back in, Sherlock could be like “hey John pass me my meds” And John might be “sherlock you already took them this morning I saw you” “yeah but they’re not working yet” “dude it takes time for them to kick in” “sure sure OR I could just take more. I missed some days y’know I gotta catch up” “sherloCK NO I am a DOCTOR that’s NOT HOW THAT WORKS” And then sherlock heaves a gigantic sigh and grabs a can of RedBull that’d been stuffed between the couch cushions and John like swats him with a shoe or something because SHERLOCK NO do you KNOW what that stuff DOES to your HEART PLEASE STOP
I have ADHD and look at my bedside table
wooden box is full of dabs. you can guess what the white shit is lol. this is what i do when bored
is fine if you are questioning yourself, if you don’t know your label, or if you just don’t want to use any… Is okay just be sapphic, a woman loving women. Is fine ❤️
like, yeah, use whatever words fit best. there's whole other languages besides english, even. if no words fit, don't bother using any and just be
100% TRUE
Pro tip: If you copy and paste a link that said “no free articles” into a private/incognito browser, it will let you read the whole thing.
also if u press the “esc” (escape) key on ur laptop before the page fully loads, it won’t load any pop-ups blocking u from reading. if the article has images, then this method sometimes does not u see them. but! the words will be fine :)
If the site is particularly badly designed, you might just be able to delete the overlay itself. Right click > Inspect element and delete the line of HTML (it’ll be highlighted automatically)
hey kids there is a website called outline.com that will let you read from pretty much any news site with a paywall for free
outline.com is amazing - it hasn’t failed yet on any site that I’ve tried it on.
There’s a chrome extension and firefox extension.
the last comment
this is really helpful info but i think it’s important to note that it kind of misses OP’s point? which is that the average person doesn’t know all these little workarounds, and that’s how they get funneled into the right-wing (and eventually alt-right) side of the internet, and how extremely slanted articles get more traction than more balanced or truthful versions.
yes, it’s great that there are these workarounds, but your uncle ian on facebook does not know about them, and probably doesn’t care enough to use them if he did because ‘news is news’ - and that’s how he’s going to end up sharing a ton of brietbart and daily mail links, y’know?
paywalls being much more common on centrist/left-wing content because they’re not funded by super-rich lobby groups and billionaires looking to control the spread of information is a real problem that all the clever workarounds in existence won’t solve.
awesome possum, even with the work i've had done on my mouth to repair the damage after the assault and everything, it looks like it's still too little too late and i'm going to have to get them all ripped out and replaced with dentures. fuck. this is just... so much more than i can even think about right now, but my shitty medicaid is still gonna leave me with like at least 2 or 3 thousand to cover out of pocket if not much more and like, i really miss eating solid food and being able to open my mouth in public, and i'm kinda tired of being in like burning visceral agony all the time so i don't really have many options here and i gotta get this figured out. i'm gonna have another appointment in like a week to work out more specific numbers and appointment dates and stuff but right now i desperately need to start raising money for this. fuck. even if i could just get literally a dollar or two from half of my followers, that would get me where i'm trying to get for this. please. i'm so fucking desperate to finally have this whole fucking thing just over with, even if it's only possible through getting them all ripped out. i don't care anymore i'm just so fucking sick of my mouth hurting and not being able to eat and this post is probably rally badly written and rambling but i just left the dentist and i'm trying really hard to not start sobbing at the bus stop and everything is overwhelming right now

literally anything helps
tldr got my teeth smashed in from transphobic asshole, fixing didn't work and now we have to extract them all and i desperately need to raise money for it, don't have the exact total of what my deductible will be for it but i'm aiming for at least 2500 right now to start 💜
up to just over 1250 now!!! 💜💜💜
No, I can't cover all my emotional and social needs on my own - and you know what? I refuse to feel bad about that. Sometimes I need a hug. Sometimes I need someone willing to listen. Sometimes I need to know that somebody else understands. Sometimes I need positive attention. Sometimes I need someone to be outraged on my behalf. Sometimes I need to laugh and joke around with someone. Sometimes I need to be held. Sometimes I need someone to tell me they're proud of me. Sometimes I need someone to be excited with. Sometimes I need other people's opinions and advice. That's how it is and I refuse to believe that any of these needs make me weak, insecure or codependent. They just make me human. A social creature who can't subsist exclusively on things like complimenting myself in the mirror every morning or whatever.
All Star Trek characters do is argue holograms can be sentient and then violate their civil liberties.
We need to elect fewer millionaires.
doing leftism exclusively on the internet gives you brainworms. like yeah read theory, talk to people on social media, but at some point you have to go outside. please. the things you say and believe about politics have repercussions in the real world and you have to live in that world to understand what those repercussions could be. find out who’s doing mutual aid in your community. join the iww or food not bombs or a community garden or a street medic collective or a prison letter writing campaign or something helpful that forces you to talk with real human beings directly about and in the context of their actual lives
Like, that’s one of the most insidious things cis people have done to us, create this idea that we suffer because we are trans and not because of how we are treated for being trans.
I mean, it constituted a huge “discovery” in the psych world when research showed that rampant depression and increased risk of suicide in trans people was tied to how badly we are isolated and alienated, and that conclusion would likely never have been reached without transness first being slowly de-pathologized, and thus not treated as just being something that is conveniently co-morbid with debilitating mental illness.
Cis people are deeply invested in any narrative that removes their involvement in our suffering and thus places the onus of change on us, demanding we subject ourselves to a psychiatric community that first attempts to obliterate our transness before it even considers helping facilitate it.
This misdirection of responsibility needs to be called out for what it is, an act of violence against trans people at the hands of cis people, and whether its through media, or medical discourse, or casual cissexism, it needs to fucking stop, and y’all cis folk need to hold yourselves accountable for how you perpetuate it.
Holy fuck
say it louder
somehow this post made it to terfs and transphobes who think this means “men who think they’re women are a harmful to women” or “identifying as nonbinary is harmful to [binary] trans people” etc. which is NOT WHAT IT MEANS. the poster of the tweet is nonbinary and trans, and i am nonbinary and trans (and trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary identities are valid, etc).
This tweet means that trans identities and pronouns are valid and should be talked about as such. Language matters. I don’t “identify as nonbinary,” I AM nonbinary. I don’t “prefer they/them pronouns,” they/them ARE my pronouns. “Identify as” and “prefer” leave room for doubt and debate, and trans identities are not up for debate.
To reiterate: “Identify as” and “prefer” leave room for doubt and debate, and trans identities are not up for debate.
i think this speaks for itself
listen to Loki, people.
I saw a post a few days ago which of course I’ll never find again. It was a politics-related tweet that was basically saying that as more women under 40 go into politics, it is inevitable that people will weaponize nude photos/sexts/things they did online when they were 20 against them (not to say this hasn’t already happened, just that it will happen more and more). And we collectively need to get a lot firmer and better at saying “This is irrelevant, a huge number of women have done this, and it shouldn’t matter to her reputation or career” or else the general effect will be to deter women who have ever done anything sexual on the internet (sending a racy photo to a partner, or writing spicy fanfic) from entering politics at all.
And it’s not just about politics. More and more published authors, for instance, have also written fanfic, but a combination of factors (including AO3’s existence) means it’s easier to track those things down now and weaponize them. If we want to have aspiring politicians and authors not just say “ugh well I guess I’ll never publish anything/never hold public office because I don’t want to deal with the harassment”, we need to get louder and clearer about saying that having done or written about sexual things is normal and common and doesn’t impact a person’s worth or reputation or skill in a totally different field.
Think really hard about the general climate that’s being created when women, LGBT+ people, and POC, are made to feel ashamed and afraid if they decide to speak up that someone is going to dredge up something they said online, or a photo they took, and use it to try and discredit them. Who exactly benefits from that? Does the world feel safer if a person who wrote a darkfic a decade or two ago doesn’t get their next novel published? Or if a woman who sent nude pics to her boyfriend is forced to resign from office because he leaked them to the public? Do you think that this type of extremely broad net is only going to catch the “bad” people and leave the “good” ones unscathed? Are publishers going to start saying “hm the last time we published a book by someone who was a fanfic author, it turned into a giant publicity disaster, but we’ll definitely take a chance on the next one who comes along!” Which voices are at risk of being drowned out by this environment of fear?
Because if the only answer that comes out of this is “women, LGBT+ people, and POC will inevitably get trashed for anything even remotely sexual they do in public (and some things they did in private),” the world is a poorer place for it.
The original tweet, just as an added thing.
(The point of the original post is excellent and important.)
trans people deserve to be a little vain as healing for the years some of us spent feeling like shit about ourselves
#trans people deserve to be the vainest motherfuckers#as soon as I can buy clothes I like the look of its over for everyone#im gonna wear the ugliest stuff and be delighted
LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE :D
I remember my mom talking about a former trans student twirling her skirt and watching her reflection in a store front. I was like, “well, she’s got a lot of twirling to make up for.”
BE THE SEXY FUCK YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE
