If you read "maybe it's not helping us if the only thing boys and young men see from equity-seeking spaces is how they, personally, are to blame for everything and we actively hate them and they're garbage, regardless of behaviour, their own experiences/situations/marginalizations, and maybe we need to address that"...

...and you immediately interpret that as "you're telling me I have to prioritize never hurting men's feelings" and so on....

....maybe stop and consider that there are in fact a range of ways to treat people and interact with people and even work for change that include more options than "any criticism at all hurts feelings and is not allowed" and "people who have a characteristic that is more privileged than mine in society can be rightfully subjected to anything I want to do or say to them and I don't have to think about the impact, accuracy or justice of anything I say, ever."

Like there are some other options here. Human communication and consideration allows for a whole range in between these two comical yet so often foregrounded extremes.

I'm having a lot of thoughts that other people will probably say much more succinctly, elegantly, humorously. But they're worth saying.

They may have won an election. They haven't won you. Scared , angry, stupid people cannot turn back the clock to a time that never existed and they can't put the wimmin and the queers and the [slurs redacted] back into Pandora's box.

Grieve. Scream cry throw up, stay in bed for a day, burn some shit.

But fuck em. Don't let them win you.

Find your community, hold on tight, be safe. Be. Exist as hard as you can. Because fuck em, because you are not alone, because even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

Please.

I Always love thinking of the AUs where Anakin/Vader raises the twins, partially because of his immaculate dad T-shirts, and also I just love thinking of how he’d react to either of the twins dating a literal criminal (yk ignoring Anakin’s own numerous war crimes) cause I’m sorry Han but you don’t stand a chance

maybe someone should stop ignoring his crimes actually

(commission info // tip jar!)

It's so funny to see these weirdos say "listen to Korean women's perspectives" when like anyone who isn't an outright TERF working in feminist spaces as Korean is saying that 4b is an awful transphobic movement. Like, even Judy Han, who ascribe capitalist motivations for trans women's desire to pass as well as Harisu (an influential transgender woman in South Korea's media landscape), makes it clear under no other certain terms that 4b's splintering from other feminist groups in South Korea is because the adherents that tried to work with organizers kept being weird and transphobic, as well as racist and classist (Han uses their usual diplomatic no-denouncement terms).

Long magical girl transformation and the whole audience is so excited to see how I will subvert it, but in the end I just look like a normal magical girl and they're all booing me because I didn't subvert the genre and I'm crying because I just wanted to be a normal magical girl

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

I'm thinking of Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace by Evgeny Sedukhin again...

Unironically the biggest death knell I heard for twitter was the fact that, as far as anyone is aware, there are no longer any furries working at twitter.
