We really went from "free the nipple" to "um the public didn't consent to you wearing a choker"

“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.

its 2026 i cannot handle any more fucking "author A obviously ripped off author B" discourse by people Who Have Only Seen the work of author B and admit themselves that they have no further knowledge of the literary landscape they are moving in. like.

[image id: A poem titled “To my friends from LiveJournal” by Hayley DeRoche that reads,

“I still think about you

Wonder if you finally quit,

Do you still speak to your mom?

I remember when you went to Japan

How you swore you'd never forgive him.

I can't remember to take my meds but

I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat.

It's a strange intimacy,

all of us unspooling across decades of internet space

Like balls of yarn

leaving a trail behind us of everywhere

and everyone we've ever been

I hope you got your houseboat.

I hope you got everything.”

I think about This Post a lot. This is essentially fanart of fanart?? The words circle in my head. I think about him a lot.

[ganondorf]

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Amazing that we call him the cookie clicker guy and not the "this website's hate mail game is insane" guy because one of those things had a much bigger impact on Tumblr culture than the other

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#I think it's nice that the thing he'a known for is something he's put a lot of work into and was passionate about#as opposed to some funny posts he made in a few minutes#would you rather be known as large for your funny posts or your books if given the choice?

I'm already known for my funny posts and not my books. People express surprise that I'm a writer constantly.

there’s this very vocal very tradwifey subset of adult adoptees I keep seeing who are like. adoption is inherently immoral, a child belongs with its biological parents no matter what, sperm and egg donation is abuse and children will be traumatized if they do not share their parents’ dna. and on one hand it’s really sad because I’m sure these are people who were mistreated or unloved in ways they directly connect with their adoptions, and both the adoption and foster care industry are fucked. but jesus christ.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

When I say tradwife I do mean tradwife… I wrote this after seeing a Facebook post by a pregnant lesbian whose wife was her egg donor—the comments were flooded with top replies by adult adoptees telling her that the child she would give birth to would be inherently traumatized by growing up with a stranger in the house pretending at motherhood. I saw similar comments on a post by a woman talking about how anti-abortion laws forced her to go through the agonizing process of giving up her baby for adoption. The replies were filled with angry (Christian) adoptees essentially calling her a slut, child abuser, and a sinner for rejecting God’s will in ordaining her as a mother.

The adoption industry being a cesspit of exploitation and commodification that strips children of cultural and racial ties to place them with families ill-equipped or unwilling to meet those needs and away from family that would have raised them if they’d had better access to resources to remain together is a travesty. I think more often than not adoption does end up being traumatic or abusive. This however is not evidence for the inherent sanctity of DNA and the universally sacred nature of motherhood.

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.
