One of those goofy maid animes, except the viewpoint character isn't the hapless master or mistress of the house, but a regular-ass janitor who ended up on this crew due to a paperwork mixup at the temp agency and can't figure out what the fuck is wrong with her co-workers.

you should really be able to annotate your blocklist on here it's untenable having it all mixed up like this. how am i supposed to know if i blocked this person for writing a smiley emoticon on a day when i was feeling particularly bitter or if it was for reblogging from transmisogynists like i needdd a zotero notes function for this. ik someone already said this but i can't find the post probably because i blocked op for i don't know what reason. because my blocklist isn't annotated

sometimes i see cis people say "trans people will understand if you misgender them at first. i call my nephew 'her' all the time and he knows i don't mean it" no he doesnt. he probably never hangs out with you for more than ten minutes because that's how long you can last in a conversation before making him feel like shit. also he thinks you're, best case scenario, stupid for not being able to figure it out, or worst case scenario, uncaring about him and his needs. he doesn't like spending time with you. you're deluding yourself into thinking you're far kinder than you are. you're weird man.

studies are showing that transgender women love to say "#hiiiiii"

i hope you all realize that literally nobody is going around forcefemming cis men in real life, right? like that is Not A Thing that is happening. everyone who posts forcefem jokes on tumblr is well aware that doing that would be. you know. a crime. it's barely even legal to consentfem trans women in a lot of places.

If you were assigned female at birth and have a complicated relationship with womanhood, I respect that.

If you don't feel like a woman at all, you do you.

If you feel more woman-lite, or adjacent to womanhood, I respect that too.

But given how all these things mean "not quite a woman" do you understand how a trans woman might take issue with you describing yourself this way and then calling yourself a trans woman?

on the anglophone internet people will claim to have read marx and be marxists and then point at any market economy and say "it's capitalism. since there are markets and currencies that means its capitalism. capitalism is when theres markets"

Something I think people who don’t live with chronic illness don’t understand is that there is a big difference between resting to get better and resting to avoid getting worse.

I made this like 2 years ago so now that I found it in my hard drive I’m chucking it out into the wild like a live grenade

if you'll allow me to resurrect the absolute worst twitter discourse: is landing on asteroids in space to acquire metals from them terra nullius or colonialism? if so, in what sense is it?

like with all 'space colonisation' (bad name for it) actually doing it would obviously not be colonialist (no people there innit) -- the way it's depicted in the cultural imaginary, however, definitely draws on the imagery and mythology of colonialism!

people will be like "ah no you see, this offshoot of radical feminism is actually really intersectional and Marxist" and you look over and they're talking about "proletarian race realism" or some shit
