Welcome to the mess @themidnighttiger - Tumblr Blog

when you're feeling full hater mode about a piece of media but you know one of your beloved mutuals enjoys it

Guys if you want queer shit written by queers on our own terms you're going to have to start seeking out weird independent media. I'm sorry that's the only place you can regularly find it idk what to tell you, we can't keep acting like there's nothing if we're not getting blockbusters and triple A titles or whatever it is we're waiting around for. The thing you keep saying you want is already being offered for free by one person making a passion project on the internet and you would both benefit enormously if you interacted with it instead of lamenting that the only options we have for representation are pandering afterthoughts from corporate shit

I say this with so, so much care: Real queer shit written by real queers can and will sometimes make you uncomfortable. That's one of the defining features of weird, independent queer media. And weird independent media more broadly. Art that comes from true individual passion and authenticity has edges and bite to it that mass market corporate products intentionally do not. Has a rawness that can offend.

You are allowed to feel uncomfortable about it. But don't ask for queers to self censor for your comfort.

having a sidestep that consistently turns down Ortega on everything really shows how obsessed they are. you can argue with them every chance you get and repeatedly tell them to fuck off, and still they're gonna keep calling. delusional final boss

Do you ever think about how so much of the deadly anti-science rhetoric that fills America today and is killing countless vulnerable people can be directly traced back to one fucking guy who decided to just straight-up lie about vaccines causing autism because it would make him a profit? Do you ever think about that? Because I think about it a lot.

speaking of the library i want to reread the wicked lovely series alongside Saga so i went and found out most of the 2000s teen lit is in the special Teen Room and there’s a sign that says it’s a safe space for teens so adults should ask the kids within permission to enter and be respectful of the space and take the books to read elsewhere in the library and there was something so deeply funny and sweet about it.

i felt like a disheveled knight errant standing at a drawbridge gate and as the cool tween guards stared down at me i was like “please. i need only a stable for my bicycle and access to the 2007 archives. i’ll be no trouble.”
