Kickin with Kas

Hello, name is Kasie. I am 28 years old. I feel like dust. Now I am back on Tumblr, so uh, enjoy whatever I post

You can tell a lot about the health of a civilization by their warning signs. Places with a lot of dumb folks will have very broad, very dumb warnings in public. "No feeding the birds." "Stop swimming in this drainage pond." That kind of thing.

Advanced civilizations have very precise signs. They've covered the bases of their regular, run-of-the-mill idiots, and now they're working hard to cover that other end of the bell curve: the talented idiot. When I was in Germany last time, there was a big warning sign that consisted of a 76-letter-long word that means "stop bothering this particular goose, Sven." I don't know who Sven was, but the goose looked pretty calm. It worked.

Now, I have a secret to tell you. You can just make your own signs. There's no law against it, except perhaps "littering," and the municipal sign factory doesn't have very good security. If you show up there past close and put in the door code that you shoulder-surfed off one of the employees returning from lunch a week prior, you have all night to fuck around with their sign-printing machine, making the most official-looking placards you can think of.

Is this wrong? I don't think so. It's a public space, and being able to put up an aluminum sign that says wacky crank shit is your right. For instance, just last week, I banned pickup trucks from parking by the playground. The cops figured out something was going on, because they didn't get any calls for toddlers getting backed over for a couple of days and sent a patrol truck to investigate. Took my sign right down.

What I discovered after that is that nobody keeps records of what signs are supposed to be there. Why would anyone put up a sign for no reason? They cost money, after all. The city is now suing the shit out of that officer for stealing the "no trucks" sign, thanks to an anonymous tipster who called in the theft. Guy wearing a reflective vest came by and put like four more of them up after the lawsuit made the news, just out of spite. I'm not entirely sure if he's actually a city worker; we ran into each other at 3am at the sign factory and just grunted. He was working on some really crazy signs about not feeding a particular swan. Probably German.

tiktok refugees i believe you are few but it is VITAL that you know on tumblr you can speak freely. kill. die. sex. fuck. you can say things here

[infectiouspiss]

boyfriend asked what i was doing, told him i was editing a picture, boyfriend asked "is it something like house stretched out with the words 'menstrual blood' on it or some shit?", boyfriend was wrong, boyfriend was also onto something this goes hard

it’s so bizarre when animated American films are set in a certain location and then only certain characters have the accents of that place. It makes no damn sense!! like

WHY IS SHE MORE FRENCH THAN THE REST OF THEM???

[insomniac-arrest]

WHY ARE THESE GUYS MORE SCOTTISH THAN THE KIDS??

(also, aren’t they Vikings or something?)

[bramblepatch]

To be fair, almost everyone in Ratatouille does have a French accent. The real question is why Linguini and also all the rats sound intensely American

If it was just the rats I’d say it’s because the movie can be interpreted to mean that the rats understand but don’t necessarily speak human languages so the rat dialog isn’t literally taking place the way we see it but that doesn’t explain why Linguini has a rat accent

[pupangelremade-deactivated20211]

LINGUINI HAS A RAT ACCENT 

[noah-moth-cursed-chaos]

Do we ever hear like

For sure that Linguini grew up in France tho?

It could be possible he’s just an American immigrant

[burningivy]

I mean his name is Alfredo Linguini so I always assumed he was Italian

[noah-moth-cursed-chaos]

I’m sorry his first name is Alfredo?

[noah-moth-cursed-chaos]

What

[insomniac-arrest]

ALFREDO???

[bauliya]

he’s American you guys his mother was American it was mentioned in the beginning

[insomniac-arrest]

I’m sorry, I’ve moved on to the fact his mother was going through her cupboard for baby names

[ohemaa-warrior]

Alfredo was a name before it was a sauce let’s go over the movie from the top again

[dappercyborg]

This is Alfredo di Lelio (right) the inventor of fettuccine Alfredo, he’d come out to the table and make it in front of you by hand

The chap on the left is an airport

yeeees

why is Ursula shunned from King Triton’s society? does it have something to do with being more powerful than him? why does King Triton have a magical trident, being otherwise a pretty regular merman? Ursula is a witch, if anyone should have a magical artifact it should be her, did King Triton steal it?

and finally, Ursula didn’t do Ariel much wrong

Ariel wanted some legs (and a vagina) and Ursula told her flat out that in the surface world you can have a vagina or a voice, not both

i’d watch the hell out of a movie about Ursula

[bipolarhawkeye-blog]

“Ursula told her flat out that in the surface world you can have a vagina or a voice, not both”

ohhhh shit though, ursula was being too real about the world

although perhaps a bit too literal

[giddytf2-deactivated20150525]

Okay, these were all excellent points and I’ll never see The Little Mermaid the same way again.

I laughed at that caption at first then the reality actually hit me

#Ursula can’t have a movie that’d mean a fat woman would star in a movie that doesn’t revolve around her weight plot wise

well, damn

reasons I’ve seen people staying on tumblr:

don’t understand twitter

don’t understand twitter

posts are in chronological order

spite

no other website has the same ambiance of gothic confusion and unrelatable obtuse content

they are a hapless pornbot who knows not of the end coming for their quivering female presenting nipples

mega spite

 like normal spite but you’re posting dick pics before The End

Direct Contact with the Memes

god, wht the fuk even is twitter

they tried to leave but woke up again on tumblr like it’s the Groundhog’s Day movie

[insomniac-arrest]

More reasons:

tumblr allows us to post in any format medium we choose (image, long text post, sound, or video)

shitposting just isn’t the fking same anywhere else

like some sort of ancient slumbering giant this is where we have laid for many a century and Will Not Get Up Again (aka can’t be bothered)

[cityelf]

This is the only godforsaken place I can have an open online presence where my fucking family haven’t managed to find me so you can pry it from my cold, dead, nippleless hands

[running-with-toast]

my tumblr dashboard is like a glass-bottom boat. I’ve curated it to the point that most of the time it’s smooth sailing, I see cool fish sometimes. And then sometimes, hundreds of meters down, I catch a tip of the fin of something really fucking weird, and then it’s gone again. Can’t get such a uniquely haunting experience like that anywhere else.

just remember, “poverty” is a social construct. when the economy collapses, the farms don’t disappear. goods don’t vanish from the stores. poverty is created through exclusion. it is violence. so when you see articles about how the pandemic could “plunge billions into poverty,” please remember that it’s not the virus that’s creating poverty.

if i have a warehouse stored full of grain, and a drought wipes out your crops, it’s not the climate that’s making you starve, it’s me with my refusal to share my stockpile.

Femme bi women married to men still have stories about queerness to tell that are worth hearing.

[cherryhearrts-deactivated201902]

i dont wanna discourse on main but please dont call bi women femme

[star-anise]

Kiss my ass and then fuck ALL THE WAY off.

[cherryhearrts-deactivated201902]

okay thanks for being aggressive when i literally said in the tags that i agree with what youre saying its just the fact that you called bi women “femme” that i take issue with.

femme and butch are both historically lesbian terms that are used very specifically for lesbians. a femme can ONLY be a lesbian bc it is an identity specifically abt subverting gender roles assigned to by men and performing femininity for other women, completely rejecting men. it can only be for lesbians bc its abt being attracted to only women. 

if a lesbian is telling you that something is a lesbian specific term, maybe hear them out before completely rejecting what they are saying

[star-anise]

I have heard this argument before. I have read the tedious history narratives that look at communities of queer women in the 1950s who used terms like “butch” and “femme” and acknowledged that yes, many of those women are what we would call bisexual today, but then somehow decided that… bisexual women were not allowed to inherit that legacy. That bisexuals should get disinherited despite having been there from the beginning.

I have also seen those posts say that biphobia is a myth, and that lesbians who reject bi women for being bi are a “lesbophobic myth”. The reality is, the elimination of bisexuals from our own narratives, the myth that you can source 1950s slang in a pure lesbian-only, never-looked-at-a-man mythic past, goes hand in hand with modern biphobia.

This post was written specifically counter to the concept that “femme” is a lesbian-only word.

If you want a pure lesbian term that has only ever been used by someone who is never attracted to men, I suggest you go plant a flag in a term that ISN’T used my MLM. Because “femme” has been used by gay men to describe themselves and each other for decades. 

It isn’t just innocent “We want our own vocabulary!” when you’re claiming one of the most common adjectives used for gender presentation in the English language, and when you cite a specific provenance for it, it is a provenance that bisexual women are equally entitled to inherit from.

Get your own damn word. Bisexual women have always used this one.

BI WOMEN CAN BE BUTCH AND FEMME 2019

[thechildrenarewaiting]

“GET YOUR OWN DAMN WORD. BISEXUAL WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS USED THIS ONE.”

[milf-adjacent]

This didn’t even mention that femme was originally applied to married women who frequented lesbian dives and bars. Femme has meant “bi” for much longer than it’s been a “lesbian exclusive” term. Ya wanna know the only lesbian exclusive term? It’s ‘lesbian’.

[wordsarereallyhard]

I don’t understand how young members of the queer community just don’t research queer history??? Like so many don’t know Pride is the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, let alone the complexity of queer identities and how so many groups were lumped together. Like trans women and cross dressing gay men were considered one and the same for a damn long time. Bisexual and lesbian women were considered the same. We’re all members of the same community and we are oppressed and discriminated against and othered in so many ways. Maybe I’m just an old fogey and these young kids need to get off my lawn… but all these youngins with their “q slur” and their “it’s lesbiphobia that we don’t we get a separate exclusive history.” The world doesn’t exist in a bubble and I beg these kids to just read up on queer history in books (or online JStor articles) instead of acting like Tumblr TERF rhetoric is the be all and end all of queer studies.

[teacourse]

why would a married woman who is satisfied with her life/husband/identity frequent gay bars lol

[star-anise]

OMG do you NOT understand why someone attracted to women in the 1930s-1960s would be married to a man? When the first modern lesbian organization, the Daughters of Bilitis, started in 1955, a major part of their work was to help lesbians who were married to men understand their attraction to women and leave their husbands.

Like seriously, do they not teach about “compulsory heterosexuality” anymore? About how hard it was for women to live independently of men before second-wave feminism?

(As for why a modern married woman might go to a gay bar–oh idk there’s this thing called polyamory, but you probably wouldn’t approve of it.)

[apicturewithasmile]

@teacourse

Also there’s a thing called ~still being bisexual even when dating/married to a man~ but many bi women (and bi people in general) struggle with the erasure of their identity so they gotta go the extra mile to be visible and embrace their queerness.

And bi people don’t have to be polyamorous to want to frequent gay bars bc going to bars isn’t an inherently sexual activity that only people on the lookout for potential partners do.

Monogamous bi people are allowed to exist in “gay bars” and queer spaces. We’re allowed to go out and engage and be part of our community. We’re allowed to have fun in a place that was created for and by us, too. Whether we do it to find a partner or not.
