not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women

and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about

like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

Transgender woman faces two felony charges after drawing a firearm during an altercation.

A Wyoming transgender woman is facing two felony charges after drawing a firearm during an altercation she says began with anti-LGBTQ+ and a

Ríhanna Kelver, a bartender and trans rights advocate in Laramie, has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent after a 13 September 2025 confrontation outside the Crowbar & Grill, whereshe worked. Kelver could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison if convicted on both charges.

Kelver says one man in a group of men across the street from her started shouting homophobic and transphobic insults at her before the man allegedly shoved her to the ground in a downtown crosswalk, as reported by The Laramie Reporter.

There's more, as it pertains to Black trans people's right to self-defence:

Despite Wyoming’s “Stand Your Ground” statute, which allows people to use reasonable force in moments of self defense, Kelver faces up to 15 years in prison for both charges, as well as up to $11,000 in fines, per Cowboy State Daily. Kelver faces an additional year and $1,000 fine for a charge of interference with a peace officer. [...]

As pointed out by Slate, self-defense laws are often put into question when people from marginalized communities, especially trans people, use them, including Cece McDonald, a Black trans woman who served time in a men’s prison for defending her friends during a racist and transphobic attack. Ky Peterson, a Black trans man from Georgia, was also arrested and imprisoned for killing his rapist in self-defense.

really wish humans could fight each other without doing irreparable damage to our bodies

getting punched is a deeply satisfying experience that cannot be easily replaced by other sensations and also if it happens to you too many times horrible things will happen to you

I said this when Mohan was revealed to not return, I’m saying it again with Javadi having a smaller part in a psych rotation in season three.

Regardless of their personal intentions, The Pitt has a pattern of reducing, minimizing, or altogether removing BIPOC women from their show, and that’s not only a disturbing habit, but a very destructive one.

In season three, of the cast we know will be there, four characters of color will be main on screen. Ellis, Santos, and I believe Al-Hashimi is slated to return.

Ellis is potentially a temporary character for this season. Al-Hashimi might leave after this season back to the VA. Besides those, our previous main character of Javadi will be featured in a reduced role, and we’ll have some of our nursing staff around as background BIPOC representation, assuming they’re all returning.

Their intention does not matter. Folks need to understand that. Realism doesn’t matter. What matters is the impact this is having.

Characters leaving creates an unsteady viewing experience for the audience and for the cast. Continuously removing BIPOC women from your show does not signal a safe space to your audience. Getting rid of representation not only loses you your label of diverse show, but also has the opposite effect of making the viewers that felt seen no longer have that.
