Boyce Avenue - Use Somebody (Lyrics)

Use somebody – by Boyce Avenue I’ve been roaming aroundAlways looking down at all I seePainted faces, build the places I can’t reach You know that I could use somebodyYou know that I could use somebodySomeone like you, and all you know, and how you speakCountless lovers under cover of the streetYou know that I could use somebodyYou know that I could use somebodySomeone like youSomeone like…

I see some notes on that Lovecraft post all "why aren't we also willing to look past Harry Potter if we're able to for Cthulu" and I gotta say death of the author works a loooot better when the author is actually dead.

The way that Harry Potter and it's fans worm their way into literally every fandom space like an invasive species is going to drive me to violence one day

I do not have the expertise or knowledge to join in the chorus of people who are accusing JK Rowling of Holocaust denial. I’ve done part 1) of my goals with this piece and explained why people are making the accusation; she was objectively wrong about a historical fact in which the Nazis burnt research into trans healthcare. But any analysis as to whether this constitutes Holocaust denialism is, in my view, best left to the experts in that field. My expertise is in transphobia and the way it operates. I think JK Rowling’s social media activity over the last two days is an interesting case study into how bigotry constantly and confidently bullshits itself into believing it has successfully reasserted the narrative. When, in reality, any real inspection causes it to quickly fall apart. Throughout these tweets Rowling seemingly can’t give a direct response to anything put to her. The tweet that kicked off people making these accusations is unmistakeably her disagreeing with established historical fact about the burning of Institut für Sexualwissenschaft’s research. When presented with citations by Caraballo and others demonstrating the established historical facts regarding the burning of Hirschfeld’s Institute JK Rowling’s responses get increasingly further from the point. She moves the goalposts as facts are repeated to her, adding more conditions and hoops trans people need to prove and jump through for her to accept she was wrong in that first tweet. When this fails, she changes tactic to discrediting Hirschfeld, as if his shitty beliefs somehow make the burning of his Institute – and research into trans healthcare it contained – null and void. Then, you get the ending; the real anxiety the she was expressing reveals itself. In my view, this is demonstrated via the tweets where Rowling expresses the belief that trans people are inserting ourselves into history and centering things around us all the time. To my eyes, its just another form of the common anti-LGBTQIA+ trope of claiming we’re asking for too much in some regard. None of this was about historical facts. It wasn’t about the Nazis. It wasn’t about the Holocaust or any of its victims. It wasn’t about the research Magnus Hirschfeld led. It wasn’t about what a few random Twitter accounts said. It wasn’t about the lives of transgender people in early 1900s Germany. It was, in my opinion, just a bigot being upset that trans people aren’t quiet about our erasure from history. All just one big billionaire whine that we are asking for too much by insisting that our histories aren’t erased.

i did my usual monthly thing on instagram where i post a story about how i don't want to be friends with ppl who support joanne k.r.'s work in any capacity (which. i'm on cosplay insta soooooo) and that i feel unsafe around those people. i post stuff like that semi-regularly just to make sure ppl can see it (not that it's stopped ex-mutuals of mine who in many cases i've met irl from posting hp cosplay…..) and it's usually along the lines of "heyy my usual reminder that if you support hp you're doing a great job of alienating trans people and making them feel unsafe around you, myself included, so consider whether or not your nostalgia is worth trans safety xoxo". today for the first time someone responded to me and i haven't been able to get myself to look at the dm 💀 from the preview i've seen they're like "oh i don't support her but i still wanna do hp cosplay and i don't want you feeling unsafe around me when we meet…" and i just rlly don't have the energy to deal with that rn 💀

TW Transphobia & Rape Mention

So Rowling has finally lost her shit via a public meltdown on Twitter and shown her true colors. She posted this today insinuating that trans women are rapists. I thought it was fake at first cause this seems out of character for her. I mean, she’s usually a lot more subtle from what I’ve seen in the past. But its real — its really, really real. Its seem that she has opened some sort of charity for rape survivors that offers help solely to cisgender women.

I would recommend, especially if you are trans, maybe not checking out the link. Even though its there if you wanna see it. But its just fucking bad, guys. Like its really, really bad — the whole timeline is a mess of transphobic garbage. Its absolutely disgusting.

This woman needs mental help.

why have we decided, as a society, that a kiss or a confession is what makes a love story a love story

sometimes the aroace experience is turning one way and yelling reading every intimate same gender relationship as siblings or friendship ignores and devalues queer sexuality! they’re fucking, joanne!

and then turning the other way and yelling reading every intimate relationship as sexual and romantic ignores and devalues aspec people! they’re not always fucking, samantha!

these things are not mutually exclusive and everybody’s interpretation of media is different so just maybe be open to all the possibilities

Cian Ducrot - Not Usually Like This (Lyrics)

Not usually like this – by Cian Ducrot We used to be like the lovers,The ones that you’d see in a movieI felt like I was your NoahAnd I thought that you were my AllieBut we weren’t out of a bookAnd I never wanted to hide itBut I had my heart set on youWhen I guess you still hadn’t decided But I was so fucked upWhen I saw the way you looked at himDid you fall out of love?Did he give you…

Let's check out a song from Dear Crossing. =D

Katarzyna Żak: vocals Tony Wu 東尼虎: guitars / keys Nat Boda: drums / keys / production / mixing w/ 陳柏宏 Brian Chen on Bass (Mango Street Papa 芒果街老爸)

This song has been around for a while. Nat messaged me earlier today: "

["Hey Scott, wanted to share with you a new Dear Crossing song called Vutch released today! https://youtu.be/CpHXjoLA_OY

It's my homage to Garbage / Butch Vig. We recorded it for an album in 2019 before our singer moved away. Now I'm finishing and releasing each track one by one. I hope you like it. We're also posting an MV on 8/8."]

And they posted on fb:

["In July 2019 we began recording an album and shot a music video too. But soon after, life took us separate ways. 2019 年七月，我們開始錄音的工作跟音樂影像的拍攝，中間我們歷經了團員的離開，加入新的團員，然後再離開⋯⋯

Vutch was one of the first 3 songs we wrote together as a band. It took a lot of work and time to feel this song was finished. We hope you will like it. Vutch是Dear Crossing成立以來前3首的創作，為了能夠完整的呈現歌曲樣貌，花了很多時間在最後混音錄製，希望你們會喜歡。

We may not see each other for a while, but Dear Crossing still has music to share. 也許短時間我們不會再見面，但Dear Crossing會持續地完成更多的音樂創作

Please enjoy and thank you for Likes, Subs, and Shares."]

By the way, we've posted Dear Crossing once before, a couple of years ago.

And here are Nat Boda's links: Artmouth Media   (Artmouth YouTube,  Artmouth Instagram, Artmouth SoundCloud)

Here is a song they did with their *current singer Joanne Yo Ling Wang:

*Just got an update from Nat: "FYI... Joanne left to pursue her own music after our recent run of spring shows. And we are seeking a new Taiwan-based singer."

I really hope JK Rowling seethes over the Hat of Sexual Preference in A Very Potter Sequel as well as Harry being loudly declared a metrosexual

Just froths at the mouth over a bunch of UMich students in 2007 making a fun parody with the worst pro-shot of a stage show you’ve ever witnessed

21. Did you participate in or watch any booklr, booktube, or book twitter drama?

Oh, the drama. I never participate in it, but I work in publishing so I am generally always aware of it on some level.

This year I did watch the Booktok & Seattle Kraken drama unfolding with horrified amusement and I've been following the Cait Corrain drama on Twitter over the last couple of weeks with an increasing sense of "what the actual fuck".

A Year of Freedom | Weeknotes

Day Ones 'On this Day' feature informs me that it's been a year since I installed the site/app blocker freedom.to

“The centaurs are classified as beasts and are restricted to certain areas.”

Ok, someone shared this video on socio-political symbolism in Harry Potter and I figured, “Eh, why not?” Cause….Like I was really curious to see if there was anything that I had missed or whatever. And just typical masochistic morbid curiosity.

Guys, the centaurs are a metaphor for Indigenous peoples.

I need to throw up.
