I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

by the way i havent said this before because its cringe to talk about steven universe these days but. steven universe is transfeminine right. like we all saw steven universe future. steven is a trans girl. right. right. ri

[plaidos]

trust me: rewatch this show apply the lens of Steven as an egg unwilling to investigate his feelings about gender because he’s afraid that it’ll prove he isn’t his own person and is just a reflection of his mother. watch as he experiences gender euphoria from fusing with Connie (eventually even suggesting staying permanently fused), as he magically represses his own puberty for years. Watch Greg explicitly tell Steven that he can be a girl if he wants after he comes to him worried about who he’s destined to be. watch him continually and often intentionally repress and shape himself into what he thinks he should be for everybody else. this is literally what the show is about.

[plaidos]

tell me you dont see it.

[maehkon]

this:

[plaidos]

parts of Steven’s narrative are absolutely allegorically transmasc — but the reading i’m talking about is a watsonian one, not doylist. Sugar’s experiences with coercive female assignment are obviously very present in Steven’s storyline with anybody with the eyes to see it, but at the end of the day, in-fiction, Steven was canonically assigned male at birth & struggles frequently with misshaping himself into an ideal masculine figure (Coach Steven, Too Many Birthdays, Everything’s Fine). i think there’s room for parts of Steven’s struggle to be allegorically transmasc whilst (s)he could still be literally transfeminine, much in the same way that Rose’s narrative draws from both transmasculine and transfeminine inspirations (Rose is both running away from and towards female identity, shirking daughterhood but asserting herself as a mother & even giving herself a womb).

also, just for point of reference, way back before i came out as a woman, i first struggled with being misgendered the other way around. many trans girls growing up being called girls for being little faggots growing up, so idk, i think it could really go both ways

[plaidos]

i regret to inform you that this actually happens in the original show and you just missed it. Steven spends the entirety of Lion 4: Alternate Ending trying to find hints from Rose about what he’s supposed to do with his life, what he is supposed to be for. Eventually, when he finds the Nora tape he takes it to Greg who tells him that as far as he knew, Steven isn’t necessarily supposed to have a magical destiny, his entire purpose to be something that doesn’t have a purpose, to be something that is supposed to grow and change and be different one moment to the next —

"Because you're going to become something extraordinary. You're going to be a human being. *giggles* That's my favorite part. A human being. A human is an action. I wonder who, how you'll be, what you'll think, what you'll want. Oh, I'm so happy for everyone who's going to know you.

Steven even asks his dad the exact question that so many trans youth before him struggling with their identity asked: Would you have preferred me if I were a girl? Was I supposed to be a girl? These are questions that haunt kids working out that they’re trans, as if everything wrong with Steven’s life would be explained by how he was supposed to be a girl. I relate to this a lot. But the part that really sends it home to me is how Greg responds:

Steven, she just wanted you to be you. When you have a kid, you have no idea who they're gonna be. Even Garnet couldn't predict it. That's what was so exciting to your mom, that life is full of so many possibilities, and you would get to explore them for yourself. I mean, you could be Steven or Nora or anyone else. And you can always change your name. Hey, I did.

i genuinely don’t know how to analyse this other than as Greg saying “me and your mother wanted you to be your own person, whatever that means to you. if you would be happier as Nora or as anybody else, i will support you through that. i would be a pretty big hypocrite if i didn’t”. as far as i can tell, there is no way to interpret “I mean you, could be Steven or Nora or anyone else. And you can always change your name” than Greg explicitly telling Steven he’s allowed to be trans

Given how often solar eclipse are used to date historical events, I think an international calendar should begin on the day of the first recorded total solar eclipse.

If scientist are right about some Irish petroglyphs, it is currently the year 5365. Christ was born in 3340. The Egyptian middle kingdom period lasted from 1300 to 1558. The Ottoman empire took Constantinople in 4793. Star Wars episode IV was released in 5312.
