Had my first experience being a test subject for my friend as they learn shibari as a new skill. Absolutely touching experience and I'm so, so excited to watch him become incredible at it. Also, it led to the best pictures ever taken of me ever.

Do you know what's so sad about this, is that you apparently don't see asexuality as a radical form of sexual expression that is antithetical to fascism and white supremacy. You should, because it is.

Also, reading comprehension needs to make a comeback quick. "Fucking connects us and gives us something to fight for" is not the same statement as "fucking is the only thing that connects us and gives us something to fight for". Puritanism is coloring your worldview in a bad way.

The queer community needs to declare a state of emergency, especially for trans people.

I just want more physical disability representation on Dropout.

Please. Thank you.

I used to watch Collegehumor back in the day, and watched clips for years after they shifted to Dropout. In the last few months I actually subscribed specifically to watch their improv/game shows, mostly Game Changer and Make Some Noise, and watching more than just a clip here or there threw into sharp contrast how, for all that I really do like the cast members on these shows, the experience of transness they platform seems to largely begin and end with the transmasculine, and maybe the occasional special drag episode.

This isn't a knock on the incredibly funny and talented cast! I enjoy these people, these shows, this humor - enough so that Dropout was the only streaming subscription I have ever chosen to purchase at any time. It's just frustrating when I know there are plenty of equally funny and talented trans women that could and should be invited to participate.

Obviously, diversity is not a quota to be filled, but I can't help but feel that I, and other transfems, have been being left out to dry, when we, too, have been here the whole time.

Just had a friend show me a conversation in a fan discord about Suvi as a Black American woman in the context of the fallout from the election. And honestly? Yeah. The blueprint is simple: Black women are expected to put their own priorities and emotions on hold to show up for everyone else's battles and hold endless space for everyone's feelings while simultaneously weathering attacks on our character (oh she's so angry/aggressive/violent/rude) and authority (she's a woke hire/affirmative action quota/nepobaby) without complaint. We're expected to save the day under nigh-impossible circumstance, and with fewer resources and support that is AT BEST, conditional.

So yeah, relistening to Suvi's speech in The Witness hurts now. Because that's exactly the feeling I'm wrestling with, and what I see mirrored in the Black women around me. We are exhausted and angry and sad. Those voter percentages are a betrayal of "we" that was promised by other marginalized groups when speaking of the interconnectedness of our liberation. And the unexamined expectation that we immediately rise from the depths of our despair to prepare for the next fight is a cruelty. Suvi isn't real, but if this helps lend empathy toward actual Black women in the world, then I'm glad.
