Something something it's a metaphor. Hair as a form of communication but also as passage of time and also as a way for letting people in and also as a detail etc etc you get it

Actual explanation in the tags btw

I'm really nervous about this comic actually, is not the best. It doesn't make sense, and the art is mid, but I put love in it and I think that's enough

aro culture is getting really annoyed with the relationships unit in your sociology class because the whole thing is just 100% amatonormativity.

:\

if think your teacher, professor, and/or TAs might be interested in discussing the concept, I have some idea of bringing up the topic?

I'd personally say something like, "Hi, During our section in sociology around relationships, I couldn't help but think it would be interesting to discuss how a sociological theory called "amatonormativity" might relate to these lessons. I gathered a few sources from the professor who coined it, a thesis written on it, and a law review written about the connection between it and laws in the USA. There's some connections between its use in feminist thought and in queer theories, and I'd love to know your thoughts about it. I personally was thinking of when [specific statement] was said, and how I would apply this theory. I hope it's as interesting to you as it is to me."

Lemme just tell you right the fuck now black people, specifically black afabs are not tme. We just aren't. Because transphobia, transmisogyny, misogyny, and racism go hand and hand.

Black people who are perceived as female have to present in hyperfeminine ways to avoid masculinization and to be accepted as women, the same way trans women do.

Black women have to make themselves look socially docile and take so much abuse just so people don't attack them due to being perceived as aggressive (which is tied to the social concept of masculinity) bc again, transphobia and racism go hand and hand.

If a black woman is perceived as "aggressive" she'll be faced with having similar stereotypes of violence and aggression pushed on her the same way trans women do. Some people even go so far as to say an aggressive black woman is no better than a man.

Transmisogyny doesn't just function on the basis of a transphobe 100% knowing you're trans. If they did transvestigators wouldn't be a thing, and if you haven't noticed the features transvestigators like to call out the most are features strongly associated with black women and black people in general.

Transmisogyny functions on the basis of if you adhere to eurocentric standards of femininity as closely as possible and if you stray from that in any way you're perceived as a threat to white womanhood.

Oh, so, like, the entire first season's establishment of the characters and their interactions don't actually matter in Helluva Boss. Okay, cool.

Like, I get that characterization develops over time and the writers come up with new ideas and places they want to take the story, but. So much of the Stolas/Blitzø stuff recently isn't character development: it's retconning.

i have a theory that the baby!jack fanaticism in the fandom partly comes from the fact that on june 26th, 2017 (less than two months after jack was introduced as a character) the us supreme court ruled that queer couples were allowed to adopt in all 50 states. so naturally, as kelly died giving birth to jack, dean was in the midst of his widower arc, and the fandom thought that jack was going to be a baby, we had a wave of romanticization of infant adoption for destiel.

when will i be trans enough for you for me for anyone

i thought you had to suffer physical and mental anguish seeking perfection that will never come

is it not enough to see beneath layers of skin for 6 months of euphoria until they started to grow again

to sever the connection between womb and me

to identify as nonbinary to identify as a tomboy to identify as just wanting to fucking exist

i will be trans enough for you for me for anyone

because i am trans

because being trans is euphoric excising oneself from the binary boxes forced upon us is liberation of the sweetest taste

no matter what you me anyone says

i am trans enough

we are all trans enough

and when space is not made for us when nonbinary is not enough when you are called woman lite when you are expected to perform femininity or masculinity to a binary standard

then we will make space for ourselves we will carve out our own piece of paradise because finding each other

you me anyone

is life or death

On one hand my phone is my bestest friend who protects me and shows me so many beautiful wonders. On the other hand I wanna throw this fucking lump of metal into the sun before it can erode my brain any more than it already has. Do you understand.

The past couple days online have been... interesting. I consider myself a leftist, think capitalism is corrupt, and think that it needs to be seriously reformed/overthrown. I admit that while I've thrown around phrases and terms like "burn it all down" and "the revolution needs to come" out of frustration without actually thinking about what a revolution entails: excellent organization, unity, and strategy to defeat the United States, the world's largest military superpower which has inflicted political and social destabilization across the majority of countries around the world. There also needs to be superb infrastructure and community to support the disabled, elderly, and poor populations who rely on government assistance and programs, healthcare, and accommodations while this so-called revolution rages on.

All I've received from the far leftist movement are lectures from condescending intellectuals who rattle off academic citations regarding ideological theory rather than practical, tangible steps to advocate for change in our local and regional communities. I have not seen one of them actually discuss conversations they've had with their friends, family, or Americans about what they want to see reflected for the future of the country. I have not seen one of them discussed how destructive, detrimental and traumatic a Trump presidency was for social prejudice and morale in the United States. I understand that for many marginalized groups they've been living in a facist state for centuries so the possibility Project 2025 doesn't galvanize them to see the two parties differently, but I don't think it is fair to white leftists falsely equivocate the election of both parties for the entire American population at all??? Or like at least specify the issues you're referring to in which you view both parties as the same????? Literally one TikTok creator who I used to follow talked about how true leftists are so much better than liberals because they aren't waiting for a presidential candidate to save the world NOW due to the accelerated apocalypse due to climate change but when asked how to change the world they suggest sharing ideas of your future utopia with other leftist groups. How the fuck is sitting around talking about living in a walkable community is great considered "saving the world now"? How are you going to dismantle and restructure American infrastructure to create these communities? How are you going to remove existing racial and social tensions to create a community where everyone lives happily side by side? Do people not consider reality at all?????

And is it not wrong for people to have a fucking sliver of optimism and hope at incremental change that's achieved within the corrupt bipartisan system of American politics, even if they know it's propaganda??? Is it wrong for people to have a singular fucking moment of relief in feeling like their values, beliefs, and lives will be better protected and THEY can advocate for change better??? Is it wrong when there's a couple months until the most pressing election in recent history for people to make the choice they feel will reduce the most amount of harm???

okay small complaint though the whole “tumblr’s not a dating app” “if you’re coming on here to find people to date or fuck just leave” etc. stuff does kind of annoy me not because people aren’t allowed to have boundaries but because they’re trying to enforce them on others, and specifically in context of the tumblr kink scene it feels particularly out of touch considering how kink scenes are kind of…literally for that? Obviously not the whole point of a kink community, there’s education and community and socialization and freedom and all sorts of reasons, but you cannot deny the aspect of like-minded kinky deviants coming together to find other kinky deviants. Like….for a community where sex and sexuality is such an integral and important of our lives, where we can’t really expect the general population to want to date us or accept those parts of ourselves, finding a community like this where we can be our Entire selves and seek others who will love us not just in spite of that self, but Because of that self, it seems really really strange to try and eliminate such an important aspect of the kink community for everyone around you. People are allowed to not want to engage with the kink community like that and lord knows there are plenty of people that do need to told that people in the kink community aren’t just attainable sex objects for them to aspire to play with. But to pretend finding like-minded kinky individuals to get closer with is something completely alien to a kink community is just incredibly bizarre to me and almost feels like a sanitation of the kink community experience.
