don't know who needs to hear this but gender non-conformity is not only for trans people. cis women can wear binders and packers. cis men can wear breast forms and tuck. cis women can use he/him pronouns and cis men can use she/her pronouns. anyone can use they/them pronouns or neopronouns. anyone can dress fem or masc regardless of gender identity. anyone can take hormones and get surgeries even if it doesn't match the 'normal' presentation for their gender. all the rules about gender are fake and you can do what you want. gender isn't some finite resource. do whatever the fuck makes you comfortable.

As the Paul brothers's boxing antics gain media attention, I want to remind everyone of the despicable pasts of three popular boxers tied to the Paul brothers:

• mike tyson spent 3 years in jail on the rape conviction of an 18 year old Miss Black America pagent contestant before being released on parole [Indianapolis Encyclopedia], also having additional allegations

• connor mcgregor was found guilty in a civil suit concerning a rape [ESPN] which resulted in the victim requiring removal of a tampon using forceps afterwards [Sinar Daily]

• floyd mayweather has a long history of domestic violence [Business Insider] :

° 2001-02: received 48 hrs community service and 2 days of house arrest for a guilty plea on two counts of battery against the mother of one of his children. In the same suit, charges of stalking, battery of a police officer, and violation of a restraining order were dropped

° 2003: arrested and charged with two counts of battery against two women at a nightclub. He was ordered to serve 100 hrs of community service per his misdemeanor battery conviction. These charges have since been dismissed.

° 2011: was sentenced to 90 days in jail for the domestic battery of his then-girlfriend in front of two of their children [ESPN]

° more allegations are detailed in this article [Deadspin]

To anyone who feels like they're reliving the worst day of their life -- hearing the sounds, feeling the sensations, seeing the disturbing images again -- a random stranger on the Internet is thinking about you and keeping you in their heart.

If you have PTSD, I love you and I'm always thinking about you. I hope all my hoes w PTSD or any other lasting trauma responses can find some relief in the deluge.

Drawn Together is an amazing study of how great concepts, character design, and voice acting can't make up for lazy writing.

If the average episode of DT has 50 jokes, 15 of them will be "Spanky poops", 15 of them will be "Toots is fat", 15 of them will be "Captain Hero is stupid/deplorable", and 5 of them will be legitimately funny and satirical. Incredible.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: Brooklyn 99

The good:

• incredibly charming cast

• lots of chemistry between each of the cast members

• solid representation of many different types of people with different priorities, styles, and personalities

The bad:

• it is very difficult to write an overarching separating° of characters in a sitcom that relies heavily on cast interactions. The prison and undercover episodes suffered from Jake/Rosa/Holt being separated from the cast, whose interactions made the episodes endearing.

° some other examples of this include My Name Is Earl's prison & coma episodes and Amy's promotion in SuperStore. In both of these examples, main characters have a life change that separates them from their robust casts.

• they're cops

The ugly:

• they are all cops

• they make many arguments that slow change is the most realistic type of change within preexisting systems. Which is fair. But in your ambition to portray a more optimistic law enforcement system, why not envision an ambitious revision of the system that you acknowledge, is deeply flawed?

• S1 Rosa is the most violent cop in the precinct, S8 Rosa is used as a voice person against the violence of the police system, but completely fails to acknowledge her own actions. Additionally, she continues to work alongside the cops, just without the title.

Tl;dr:

As someone who is not pro-police, the least I can say is that I am not the target audience for the appeals they make to the audience's faith in police improvement. However, I am generally a big fan of Michael Schur's sitcoms, and I am a huge fan of the workplace sitcom genre. As a workplace sitcom, Brooklyn 99 generally utilizes its strong cast of comedic actors to tell interesting stories about their interoffice shenanigans. However, I believe that the setting being a police precinct sours the overall messaging of the show.

this guy started out poking fun at australian politicians and ended up investigating the firebombing of his own home, during which he uncovered connections between the same politician he was making fun of + major organized crime

JasperDasper started out just curious why everything had suddenly become about trans people and questioning some of the sources used in a book. He came out of it, 4 years later, with a 5 hour long video that connects all transphobia to less than 60 people. (I'm not joking. literally every single transphobic rhetoric and bill passed is because of these 50 or so people.)

If you wanna watch it I cannot recommend it enough; I just warn that it covers a LOT.

Shout out to all my bitches with PTSD, C-PTSD, trauma-based compulsions, newly onset illness after a traumatic event, and my bitches who get stuck in their own head and feel ghost hands and have deep lore that informs how they act today. Shout out to anyone who's ever had to weigh how badly they want to be vulnerable against the potential psychic damage they might inflict by sharing their disturbing lore.

You deserve a whole life filled with people who will accept you, lore and all, and situations that are comfortable and in control. I hope there's a point in your life where (mostly) all of your conversations can be safe from random landmines, and your home is a place you return to for comfort and rest. I hope you get more full night's rests than sweaty nightmares or evenings staring at the ceiling. Your time will come.
