one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does

Leslie Feinberg on trans exclusion in feminist spaces.

“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”

Here’s my hot take

fear and loathing in C major

I am looking respectfully

i want a guy who is an avid reader of the onion and has been for many years. it’s his only news source, he doesn’t look at anything else. he is not aware that it’s satire. then i want to study how this guy views and interacts with the world. will he be a chaotic himbo? or a dangerously insane man?

Every day some fucking newspaper publishes another fucking article like "Studies show, When it comes to your health, bread is as bad as ten million gummy bears." And it's just a fucking lie!

The study was bad! It has an n of 20! Even if it was a good study, you're misinterpreting the results! And if it was a good study, and you understood the results, it's just one study! None! Of! This! Means! Anything!
