I'm perfectly fine with people criticizing my favorite stories and frequently do it myself but can you stop being so boring about it
"This scene made me so uncomfortable" given the subject matter, it would be really, really badly written if it wasn't.
like i know its mostly the fault of the government that most people don't bother to wear a mask any more but honestly i think people are more like stressed and embarrassed at the idea than anything. they don't wanna stick out or be reminded of a stressful time in their lives.
but its like. tough shit man. sorry for ruining your perfect little fantasy that everything is safe now but its literally not and frankly i think not permanently disabling yourself or your neighbors is worth a little embarrassment.
ok but if you go to the actual article the person was buried with women’s accessories and in the manner reserved for women and from that they decided it must be a gay man which is sort of hilarious
So basically what you have here is a skeleton of someone that we’d assign CAMAB in modern, binarist colonial societies
being presented with accoutrements and signs of social recognition that are legible to us in said societies as “female” due to their association with skeletons we’d parse as CAFAB in the same cultural tradition
and the take is “it’s a gay man”
And yet people don’t wanna listen when you point out that part of transmisogyny is assuming that trans women are just weird men
like people just don’t think that’s a thing or the statement bounces off because they literally can’t see how it could be otherwise
@solipseismic thank u for the insight 🫡
re ehrc guidance. which is not legally binding.
Also, "Will the organization cover my court costs if I am sued for sexual harassment for asking about someone's genitals?"
musicals are actually the best medium to adapt books into because we get insight to characters inner thoughts and feelings in a concise yet moving way (song) while movies and TV shows are limited in that regard (third person perspective)
like media as a whole could do with less adaptation and more originality but if we're already adapting smth can it be specifically books into musicals
okay but do you support the death penalty? and before you answer something like "the government shouldn't be allowed to kill people" imagine how you would feel of the person we're letting live had personally killed your mother.
well the thing is that I sincerely don't think that the government should be allowed to kill people, even people I personally dislike. you could arguably say that the entire root of my politics is that nobody should be able to turn their personal grievances into codified legal persecution.
something law school taught me is that however suspicious you are that "oh, oops this law accidentally created a loophole that allows for bigotry by accident" is a lie, you are not suspicious enough.
anyone affected by such laws could tell you as much, but it really is something to read the actual law, the legislative history, public comment, etc and see just how much it was on purpose. it really makes me lose my patience with people pretending otherwise.
"oh this silly law says your house has to be blue in this neighborhood and sometimes Black people were accidentally kept from the neighborhood because blue paint was sometimes hard to come by"
and anyone with two braincells thinks, "yeah it probably was at least somewhat on purpose"
but then you find out the town made a law that it was illegal to sell blue paint to people of color and illegally buying blue paint was punishable by life in prison and the city ordinance about blue houses is called like the Keep Our Neighborhoods White--I Mean Blue Act of 1999. and the town had a weekly newspaper issue talking about how crime had gone up in the paint district so we need more police but also all the people of color are strangely homeless and homelessness means more crime so we need more police, but the police are overwhelmed so you can sign up to be a deputy looking for paint thieves called the Slave-Catching Renaissance Ordinance
and the only proposed "solution" so far is that selling blue paint is no longer illegal.
"It takes a long time to undo all of these things" mhm, either that's also a lie or do you not find it a condemnation of how the system works that it's so easy to install these laws that are blatant on its face bigotry (most often and blatantly racism) but near impossible to get rid of them?
I highly recommend finding yourself at least one human rights position outside the Overton window that you can fully get behind - eg, youth liberation, prison abolition, open borders - not just because these are good causes you should help move the Overton window toward, but because the interactions you have about them will be incredible learning experiences.
You will witness people express the shallowest, most stereotyped views of others imaginable, take ludicrous mental shortcuts, reverse their moral reasoning five times in a minute to defend wholly inconsistent beliefs, and do all of it while wholeheartedly believing they're employing impeccable logic to defend a just and moral social order. You'll see this from people who are sure they're on the "right side" of politics, people who recycle and shop local and drive cars covered in safely progressive bumper stickers and even call out their racist uncles on facebook sometimes.
You'll suddenly understand how completely people can be short-circuited by status quo bias. It's like peeking over a wall into the apathy of society's soul.
The most important rule when it comes to survival is that the human body can go days without food or water but the second that you run out of soda you're fucked.
also "ough life-saving essential medical equipment uses so much plastic" in this country you can purchase an artificial ballsack for your pickup truck
"ough watching a show uses so much electricity" on road sides there are giant electrified billboards that do nothing but show you ads
and an english version ofc, you're welcome 😌
as always feel free to share and use wherever you want
normal people in SF are fucking sick of every billboard being for AI slop
takes a real artist to go "i have to deface this billboard promoting an evil corporation's evil product. but crucially☝️the typeface and kerning must match or else it's cringe"
There is NOTHING IN AMERICA that hasn't been touched by racism. NOTHING.
…wow. Never would have thought. Not surprised though.
Keep stuff like this coming.
Seriously. Keep it coming. We need to know it ALL
i think its funny when white people cry about drugs sex and violence in music or even just television. Hate to say this but this is our actual lives and it must be expressed in art.
Do you think there's so much rap about gang violence just because? Or is there perhaps societal, economic, and political realities at play?
as you know one of the problems of english is that you can't capitalize "I" for emphasis because it's already capitalized
"the best way to screw jkr over is by making her characters queer!" actually. The best way to screw jkr over is to stop engaging with the property she still profits off of and read a different fucking book
we're 10 days away from the anniversary of this post breaking my blog, so reblogs are back on! maybe I can get a new blocklist out of this
