Literally just so irritated that I need to shame this chode. In what fucking world is it ok to bitch about the people ON THE APP YOU’RE ALSO ON. No shit, there are poly people on the kink hookup app?? And that’s not even touching the cHaRmIng fatphobia. Robb I hate you you are today’s big chode I hope you never have sex again
Selected by Fady Joudah as a winner of the 2017 National Poetry Series, Jos Charles’s revolutionary second collection of poetry, feeld, is a lyrical unraveling of the circuitry of gender and speech, defiantly making space for bodies that have been historically denied their own vocabulary.
“i care so much abot the whord i cant reed.” In feeld, Charles stakes her claim on the language available to speak about trans experience, reckoning with the narratives that have come before by reclaiming the language of the past. In Charles’s electrifying transliteration of English—Chaucerian in affect, but revolutionary in effect—what is old is made new again. “gendre is not the tran organe / gendre is yes a hemorage.” “did u kno not a monthe goes bye / a tran i kno doesnt dye.” The world of feeld is our own, but off-kilter, distinctly queer—making visible what was formerly and forcefully hidden: trauma, liberation, strength, and joy.
Urgent and vital, feeld composes a new narrative of what it means to live inside a marked body.
Mod opinion: I haven't read this poetry collection yet, but I'd like to check it out someday.
I just started online dating for the first time, signing up on Feeld and HER and its fascinating just how useless these are as apps in most essential parts of being functional. They lock you out of the ability to see and like back people who like you. The only way to unlock it is to pay like 25-40 dollars. The entire point of a freaking dating app is to meet people. SO LET ME ACTUALLY SPEAK TO PEOPLE INTERESTED IN ME YOU DOORKNOBS. WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?
YOU COULD JUST PUT ADS ON THE APPS IF YOU NEED MONEY. LIKE ANY NORMAL SOCIAL MEDIA.
AND FIX YOUR APPS, THEY ARE THE BUGGIEST, LEAST USABLE APPS I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISHONOUR OF USING.
WHEN THE DEVELOPERS OF THESE APPS FINALLY DIE, I HOPE THEY REALIZE IN THEIR FINAL MOMENTS THAT THEY PUT NOTHING INTO THE WORLD AND LIVED A MEANINGLESS LIFE.
AHHHHHHHHH
I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY DATING APPS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SO HARD TO MEET PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DATE IRL.
I AM THIS FREAKING CLOSE TO DELETING BOTH OF THEM AND GOING BACK TO DRINKING WHENEVER I'M YEARNING.
