If you think any group of trans people has systemic privilege over another, I need you to think long and hard about what the word “systemic” means.

I think it must be for the lack of going outside of your room on this website that debates about personal presentation and appearance literally never have any material analysis. sorry it's counterrevolutionary to shave my legs or wear makeup or a bra or style my hair in certain ways or "worry" about visible signs of aging but have some of you just never encountered real world situations where those things caused measurable problems dealing with other people, jobs, money, respectability, access to resources, or the ability to influence important situations? this starts happening when you go outside a lot. there's a debate on my dash rn about balding and finasteride in which not a single person has mentioned the potential negative social outcomes of losing your hair and how that can affect socioeconomic status and personal risk. maybe someone doesn't need to be "vain" to care about keeping their hair and consider the risks of medication for it. maybe they've seen how bald people get treated and referred to and made a cost benefit calculation that they can't afford, sometimes literally, to eat that cost, with everything else they've got going on. maybe I wear makeup when I have to go talk to doctors and other gatekeepers because people make assumptions about your class and mental status when you have "bad skin" and "eye bags". maybe a lot of women who wear uncomfortable restrictive bras and shave whatever and buy skin products and do gua sha have already been sharply punished when someone saw leg hair or a mustache or puffy greasy skin or god forbid their nipple through their shirt. not everyone can just say "fuck it, I can afford to eat one more social cost that will measurably impact my ability to get medical treatment or pay rent". sorry this sounds like an economics lecture, that's because it is

if you are about to tell me a long story about how you personally have not been affected by perceptions of your appearance actually so you can conclude it never happens at all, please don't. sometimes you get lucky, that's it. and on this website I think it's less likely that you're lucky and more likely that you're oblivious

i think even if kondraki did transition she would still be greasy and smell weird. except instead of it just being sweat and hair grease its also conditioner grease and expired perfume smell. she flips her hair over an open candle by accident and it just creates the Worst smell possible from 30+ hair products melting into it

Hey y'all! I didn't get many requests for particular pride flags or pride plushies this pride month, but I did get a few requests for an intersex pride something. The intersex pride flag (like a few other flags) is more difficult for me to make, because a symbol is harder to incorporate into an oddly-shaped plushie than just stripes, and the circle will have to be* appliqued by hand so I'd prefer to limit the number of circles. So far, I have three ideas: 1. one of my pride bees (a very round bee consisting of three stripes) that's yellow with a purple stripe in the middle. There wouldn't be a flat ring, but the stripe would kind of form a ring? 2. a yellow dog plushie with a purple ring around its eye like the dog from Little Rascals. Idk how well known that dog is anymore or if it would be recognizable, but it's a one-applique option? I could also include purple patches on the back that are not rings, like the dog's markings in the show (in the movie? to be honest, I just remember the ring around the dog's eye) 3. a blue ringed octopus but the rings are purple. I think this would be awesome but I don't want to applique that many rings by hand and haven't found a fabric with the rings at quite the right scale and density for this project, so this is probably a longer-term one but I do want to make it eventually Do y'all have opinions on any of these, or any other ideas? For intersex pride plushies or for other pride plushies, I've had some work and some family things come up this month that mean I have not gotten as much sewing done this month as I wanted to, and I do love making pride plushies and would love more suggestions *yes, there are a few other ways I could possibly do that, but functionally with the way I make things it'd be by hand

the idea of jack making all sorts of home movies with the boys is soooooo special to me.

we see him in the very beginning, filming them setting up at the community center, but the camera is never shown again. but that would be weird if he just like,,, decided to very briefly film the boys one day and never again, right? i bet he probably has plenty of previous tapes of them.

i'm imagining things like christmas and big life events and fun trips and other community center dances.

videos of all their christmases together, gathered around a tree full of fun ornaments like golf balls, donuts, and spiderman. gifts underneath wrapped at varying levels of quality (arnold would be the best imo). the room all decked out in holiday decorations, not all of them necessarily christmas.

the boys on a day trip to lake michigan, a trunk jammed full of various beach day supplies. lucien wearing spiderman swim trunks, norman with a big inner tube made to look like a donut, arnold slathered in sunscreen. i think barry would love being in a lake, feeling the gentle lapping of the waves. he'd spend some of their time off on his own, and jack would observe him, enjoying seeing him at peace. later in the day, they'd build the biggest sand castle any of them had ever seen. all of them would be beaming with pride.

jack catching norman and sheila's first dance (not knowing those two would eventually hit it off!!). he'd film arnold going all out on the dance floor, not a care in the world as to what other people might think. though rare, he'd have a few clips of barry bopping along to the music.

a video of norman on his first day at the donut shop, before and after. before, he's nervous, of course, but he's also excited. excited to be around sweet treats all day, getting to meet new people, and having some new responsibilities. afterward, he's clearly beat, but he can't stop raving about his day. jack is sitting behind his camera with a big grin on his face, happy to see one of his guys so excited and proud of himself.

jack and his video camera.... sigh

the first three eps of andor are a really fascinating almost surely unintentional parallel to the experiences of persian and mizrachi jews. btw
