Song of the Day

[weareall1988]

Heard about his passing earlier today. The August Darnell remix of "Contort Yourself" was always a favorite of mine, and a real proper tune for the dancefloor and the radio.

RIP James Chance

April 20, 1953 – June 18, 2024

Dean would not be femme as a woman because his hyper-performance of gender is entirely based on the deification of masculinity send tweet

Imagine if out of curiosity due to her liquid-esque form from being an Amalgamate, Kanako tries to squeeze into small spaces like a cat

(She tried to fit herself into a fishbowl, she succeeded, but got stuck lol)

kitties…..

underrated background moment: vyv, after falling over the couch, struggling to do up his boots in an unnecessarily contorted position

The X-Files as Christmas Carols

O Holy Night

We Three Kings

Away In a Manger

O Come all Ye Faithful

Joy To The World

BONUS: O come let us adore him

The way we contort ourselves

To please others

Can leave us deformed

And when we look at ourselves

With fresh eyes

We don’t recognize what we see

OR.... maybe.... people watch the most movies in their childhood when they don't have much to do other than sit in front of a tv and watch what's on disney channel or whatever... and then as people reach adulthood the percent of movie-watching among the general population tapers off.... so that the viewership of even a very popular adult movie will still be a much lower percentage of the general population than something everyone watched as a kid... and this isn't an issue of stoooopid baby tumblr users only watching kids shows because they're so DUMB but simply how demographics work... perhaps op could do with a bit more critical thinking... wait sorry i forgot that Critical Thinking exclusively means getting knee-jerk mad at people for being stupid baby posers based solely on vibes. my mistake

[smilesobrien]

for the most part i don't have anything new to say about the situation with ppl accusing gazans of scams. it's terrible, it's deeply racist, and shows a lack of any thinking beyond a knee jerk 'this person is asking for money? must be a scam!'

and also. this ranks far, FAR below the above criticisms in terms of importance... but i see a lot of ppl doing a soft version of the above, where they handwring about 'gosh, i just worry so much about you guys throwing away your money :('

and it's like, what, you think we're all morons who don't even bother to do a quick search on tumblr or check any of the various sources out there for verification? almost every post i see where someone has received an ask about it, the op has attached a link to confirm that it's real.

Blogger who talks about the value of building a strong community also weirdly defensive of their right to tell others to go kill themselves

[transgods]

uh oh i can feel it rising in my brain

[prismatoxic]

bpd is super cool and fun bc if i am attached to someone and they like someone else more than me, i either:

resent the person i have never met (bc they're better than me)

resent the person i am attached to (bc they don't like me more)

OR

resent myself (for not being good enough)

and it usually happens bc the other person has a fucking romantic interest in the person they "like more". fam i do not even want that with you why am i acting like it's a competition

it also happens with best friends though. like. why does my little pea brain think i need to be the ~best friend~ of everyone i latch onto like a parasitic worm. that's too many people i can't be a best friend every time

and on one memorable occasion, i felt it about a FUCKING CAT, which is all new levels of pathetic (me and the cat became friends though)

Always kinda irks me when I see posts like "uwu people with low/no empathy can still be good people" cuz like yeah sure we can I guess but why is that important? Can you only imagine being an advocate for people you personally deem good? Can you only imagine suppressing your frothing ableism for someone who fits your definition of good? What about the ones that aren't good? What about the ones you think are good because they're simply not honest with you?

And what does "good" even mean in this context? Are they still good if they do good things purely because that's what you're "supposed to do"? Are they good if they only do good when it benefits them? Doing good is more beneficial 90% of the time, you might never see them do something "bad", they may never do something obviously "bad" purely because it's inconvenient, are they still good?

I'm js maybe you guys should just stop talking about us until you've learned not to divide disabled people into good ones and bad ones idk
