ok i'll bite, what is Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Well imagine a movie that's an hour and a half of depicting trans women as subhuman sex obsessed freaks. And that is extremely popular with queer people. Forcing thousands of trans women worldwide to sit and watch as all their friends laugh at the biggest, cruelest "man in a dress" joke.
i feel like it's so backhanded to interact with writing (human writing) on tumblr and then turn around and use ai bots. ai literally vamps all the creativity on the internet and bases its responses OFF FANFICTIONS (without permission) HUMAN MINDS CREATED. without like plagiarism repercussions although i'm not sure fanfiction could get that serious, but still; stealing. not only that, but ai is just bad for the environment. in this time where ai is wedging itself into unnecessary corners of our life, we should be supporting actual writers and not these leech machines.
masculinity is so beautiful when it isn’t a man doing it
Haven't and am not watchihng th HBO version of TLOU, nor am I promoting it, bc not only does S2 change so much to the point where it doesnt feel right but also, Neil Drunkmann is a zionist that donated money to Israel! However! I keep thinking about why the idea of Abby being as small as she is in the show bothers me so much and its not just because they did the thing where they take a conventionally "unattractive" woman and change something significant about her to make her more palatable to men, that is part of it, but another reason is simply the fact that game Abby is genuinely frightening. We saw her kill Joel, we see the way she fights - she didnt NEED that man to be injured to take him down that was the whole point of her getting as big as she did. What Abby did to Joel in the game was calculated. It was planned to be that way because she wanted that man to suffer in death. You don't shoot a guy then tourniquet his leg right after because you want him to die fast.
She could have shot him, slashed him with an axe/machete/knife, hell she could have pummeled him with her bare hands and gave him a quicker death if we're being honest, but she didn't? Why would she? He put her dad down like a sick dog and Jerry couldn't really do anything to fight back. She made sure Joel would feel similarly to how her father probably felt in that moment - useless to help himself. And then she beat him into a pulp. It was personal. It felt personal. She looked pained and hurt and angry and even later in the game (before Lev) we see her doubt herself in regard to it.
When we get to show Abby the reasoning for shooting him falls apart in a way? And considering thatt so much of her arc is shaped by Joel's murder it makes her story feel less thought out. Like I said I havent seen it so I could be missing key details (which I doubt), but not only did they apparently make her weirdly attracted to the man that murdered her father but they also just made her utterly unintimidating. That "Abby" didnt have a choice but to shoot Joel first because she simply doesn't look like she has the strength to take him down. It feels less personal based off that alone. And I can't imagine what it's gonna be like near the end where she takes down the rat king or when she and Ellie are fighting (pre rattlers) - and speaking of rattlers - how the fuck do they intend on recreating tht feeling of "Oh my god, thats...that can't be Abby" that myself and I'm sure most people playing the game felt when Ellie cut her down from the post on the beach. I don't know it just sucks seeing one of my favorite games not only be surrounded by and in some ways rooted in zionism, but just seeing this happen again, where the story of a female character is changed significantly from something solid and well written into some fuck shit because they're too scared to show a "unattractive" woman on screen. People suck, I hate it here
“National teacher shortage” is a fun way of saying that the USA has made a passion driven job so ungodly inhospitable that even people who “just care about teaching, not the money” don’t even care about teaching anymore.

Some people here really treat butchfemme dynamics... weirdly. Especially the butch label.
Butch is queer. Butch is not inherently a "daddy" a "boy", a he/him. Butch is not predatory, always dominant, buff, tough, scary.
It's cool if you identify with any of it, but it seems that many people just take it all as face value. They lack historical knowledge.
Being butch or femme is not inherently sexual or indicative of what your position in bed is/should be. That is a heteronormative idea and if you think so, you really should reevaluate it.
My partners friend went missing if you all could signal boost this!
I love you he/him butches. I love you butches with beards. I love you butches who call themselves men. I love you butch boyfriends and husbands. I love you butches with body hair. I love you intersex butches. I love you trans butches. I love you butches with weird genders. I love you butches whose gender is butch. I love you butches who are perceived as male. I love you butches who embrace their masculinity. I love you butches on hrt. I love you butches who are questioning. I love you butches who are disabled. I love you butches who are poc. I love you butches who are not as acknowledged.
The lesbian and butch community has always included you and it always will.

ive been seeing many posts talking about stone femmes as “people who do not like giving pleasure” and these posts really get under my skin. for me, this characterization of femme stoneness is not only reductive but totally inaccurate.
giving my stone butch partners pleasure, in the ways they like to receive pleasure, is deeply fulfilling, rewarding, and frankly hot as hell.
pleasure can be given and received so many ways and reducing stone femme identity to such a limited description does us and others a disservice. this stone femme thrives on making her butch partners feel pleasure during sexual and non-sexual interactions because they deserve to feel good.
pleasing partners in ways that align with BOTH sets of desires is what makes stone relationships beautiful.
