Omar El Akkad: 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This'
I have gripes with booktok for publishing industry reasons but I could give a shit what women are cranking it to. I've seen what dudes jerk off to. May a thousand flowers goon, as far as I'm concerned.
There are so many things to learn!
People loooove complex characters until they’re women
Are you also going to post about the trans fem tirf discord that openly exists and people talk about Twitter positively or is it just trans men you want to use flimsy evidence against?
no idea what server you're referring to, but if you take a look at just the tirf tag on here you will very quickly get a sense of which trans people they're most interested in including, and spoiler alert it's not transfems
the way you guys treat transmascs is actually fucking disgusting
that's a very unfair accusation, I have many transmasc friends who I treat with only love and kindness :)
"i was today years old when i learned that 'take the lord's name in vain' doesnt mean blaspheming, it ACTUALLY means--"
this piqued my interest so I went to read the story and oh my god you weren't lying it's actually abysmal
why is it so unnecessarily spiteful?? what did Le Guin ever do to her?!??
the isabel fall event was, of course, fueled by transphobia but its genuinely pathetic, looking back, at how much of it appeared to be fueled by petty professional jealousy over the mere concept of being completely overshadowed by something and someone novel to the field
we need more art that is unpleasant and makes you feel bad
They made a show called “The T word” which essentially was the same as “The L word” but all the lesbians were translators. When my teacher suggested we watch it in our translation class, I was like sir, this is a terrible idea.
we live in a world where marriage as an institution exists and is unavoidably ingrained into almost every aspect of life politically, socially, and economically however when you talk about 'romanticizing problematic power dynamics in a way that harms people' the poster child for that is erotica that involves sensitive subject matters. it's crazy because over the past year and change i've been privy to the romantic expectations of hundreds if not thousands of people and let me tell you, middle to upper class men just still straight up think of women as either household servants, brood mares, or both. whatever sort of sexual degeneracy you think is being normalized in society because of triggering erotica is an absolute drop in the bucket compared to the fact that the current standards and norms of romance and sex are barely one degree of separation from what they were when women were explicitly considered property. sorry guys the bottom up approach of attacking horny fiction for being too morally degenerate never has and never will do anything to reduce sexual violence or spousal/partner abuse
Ever notice how symbols sometimes have information in them? And if you read the symbols the information goes into your mind? What's up with that?
*beginning to suspect my roommate is a pulley* hey man would you mind picking up this big crate by changing the direction of applied force, thereby reducing the force needed? no reason
it's so funny how useless the ndp is. wish we had a real left.
yes yes you're all very clever detectives but it's actually a reference to this meme that apparently never made it to tumblr. anyways there's much better evidence out there to suggest transmascs are being radicalized towards terf ideology or even detransitioning, and pretending that it doesn't happen ensures it's going to keep happening
I spend hours scrolling through blogs to establish a link between transandrophobia theory and terfism...and...he just...tweeted it out
Microdosing on court intrigue by being really cagey about what I do in my spare time for no good reason

With severance season 2 around the corner it’s time for me to share the time I accidentally watched 4 minutes of an episode on mute and thought it was a brilliant way to show the sensory deprivation experienced by the innies
What
how it feels when someone u personally find annoying has a dog shit take
remember the wise words of leroy...
It's legit terrifying whenever I step out of my little bubble and realize the level of copyright cocksuckery that is normalized in online artist communities.
damn, she’s a bad bitch. oh they’re nonbinary? my bad. damn, they’re a bad person
whether its sensationalizing syntax, devaluing dialects, writing-off writing, ignoring indigenous voices, or trying to prove hyperdiffusion, my dream is to simply blow them up!
auditory processing disorder? oh you mean my psionic mind shield
I love that thing when people get a little bit tongue-tied and garble what they’re trying to say so they make a little “blegh” 👅 noise and start over. verbal reset button. hitting the top of the tv to unscramble the signal
Its so sad there isnt a jorking it equivilent for food
