The trick to writing entertaining personality quizzes is understanding that you're not evaluating whether the person taking the test is the sort of person for whom a given answer is true; you're evaluating whether the person taking the test is the sort of person who'd pick that answer.

i hate to be that guy, but the idea that gender, sex, and sexuality are ontologically pure concepts that can be rigidly defined if we simply police our language enough (our english language, because of course) is—i cannot stress this enough—a total waste of time. you may as well spend your afternoons teaching a brick how to swim

i cannot state enough how absolutely terrible it is that trump has been elected. however. because one of the most powerful positions in USAmerica is going to be occupied by a convicted felon, we could use that as a basis for lessening or eliminating discrimination towards people with prior convictions. remember to always contact all of your representatives when you want anything about society to change!

Trump is economically illiterate.

Republicans never cared about inflation.

Corporate media is incapable of telling the public that Republicans are bad faith actors following a Russian script to crush America.

Hi. Things are bleak, I know that. I know that we paid for Trump's last term with blood and it is likely the price will be blood again.

But listen to me. LISTEN.

You do not have to force yourself to witness horrors as an act of activism. It is not a form of activism. You can put your phone down, you can block that horrific video. We cannot win if you cannot fight and you will not be able to fight if you are hopeless.

Do not let them guilt you into this. People who are exhausted are easier to walk over. Take care of yourself, find community where you find joy.

you have to love trans women more than you hate transmisogynists. and i mean real trans women, not this abstract symbol you've created just to defend. the real flesh and blood human beings who are messy and complex and imperfect. you have to love them even when they fall outside of your preconceived idea of what a "good" trans woman must be, when they're doing femininity "wrong" or "not enough", when they understand themselves in terms you find unintuitive, when they're rubbing against your understanding of what a woman should and can be. you have to support the trans women in your life and you have to be kind to the ones you meet and you have to respect the ones on the internet. otherwise you're not helping, you're just using them to play hero.

So some people in PA got an email TODAY saying that their vote might not have been counted. If that's true, then they actually fucking cheated.
