I beg your finest fucking pardon

i have noticed that some people interpret i saw the tv glow sometimes purely through the lens of binary transness and while its certainly valid if it speaks to them, pidgeonholding it as a binary narrative and acting like thats the only valid viewpoint when the director and writer is nonbinary it feels like unnecessary and wrong gatekeeping. its about the trans experience in general but to exclude nonbinary people from the conversation. to quote that one person, what are we doing here?

literally, I cannot believe I had to read that post. What do these people think they're doing by literally revoking nonbinary people's right to tell their own stories??

Why do these people think that if binary trans people can also relate to it, that means it's the exclusive property of binary trans people??? When the literal creator is nonbinary??? And writing writing from their own experiences???

The level of....I don't even know. it's absolutely astounding in the worst way possible. The sheer level of entitlement.

especially because it takes 5 seconds of looking to find out that the writer+director and one of the main actors is nonbinary. It's not like it's a secret. It's literally on Wikipedia.

and it's wild because my number one response when in traumatic situations is to infact step back and figure out my emotions and how they are pertaining to the situation. and then i forced myself to work through the discomfort of bringing them up, and learned how to gently bring them to the table when I understood them. i learned how to say "I don't understand how this is making me feel right now and I cannot respond to you until I do"

and it's wild that just because I did not just say "oh sorry, you're right and I'm wrong" means that I'm just so severely traumatized that I "wasn't communicating correctly" because that is just false and unfair to literally anybody that is subjected to that kind of behavior.

I will never understand how some people are SO aggressively against the mere concept of the teenaged Hilda we see at the end of MK when she’s had what a minute of screentime? And we know nothing about season 3?

I have like. something going on with my left shoulder* which mostly just means my shoulder muscles** are often tight and sometimes pinch a nerve in a way that makes my whole arm go completely dead but also lately has started having this effect where if I reach across my body (i.e., to my other shoulder) and then apply pressure with my fingertips, it sends very weird messages to my brain that simultaneously makes it feel like my hand is numb (but it’s not, I can still feel with it) and like I’m going to pass out (but I’m also definitely not actually going to pass out) which is. odd???

*it is just more of the usual “loose but tight” joint shenanigans

**as opposed to my shoulder as a whole, which is quite mobile

listen so i'd say i have pretty decent facial recognition for actors, and it's to the point that i'm who my parents ask when there's someone in a movie or show they recognize but whose name they can't remember. i usually tend to be right. HOWEVER. bai yu with facial hair and bai yu without facial hair are two different people and as soon as he's clean shaven i have no idea who this man is. he's just some guy

My autism diagnosis was my missing puzzle piece. I've spent my days social media researching the topic and my life suddenly makes sense. I understand myself better. This is where my "weirdness", that's often being pointed out to me, comes from. And why I'm chronically exhausted. I genuinely didn't know that most people don't have to do everything on purpose. All the smiles and facial expressions, talking, eye contact. My therapist called it the Social Autopilot. I struggle to comprehend that such a thing exists. It really is supposed to happen on it's own? People's faces just move on their own?

My former former therapist used to call me stone face because I just... don't do facial expressions. I'm 😐 when I'm not purposefully changing it. (Maybe that's why I have a baby face. Because how would you get wrinkles if you don't move your face.)

finally went to see oppenheimer (with my dad, because i'm cool) and i actually liked it

i do wonder if christopher nolan has heard a normal conversation in his life though because all of his characters talk like fucking aliens

[unopenablebox]

i think i’m incredibly bad at noticing if people look like each other. read something offhandedly describing two similar looking people as “looking like they could be cousins” and realized i am incapable of perceiving my cousins as looking more similar to me than an arbitrarily selected ethnically adjacent person would.

there is a very limited set of face “types” i can notice but it’s a super specific subset of stuff, the vast majority of people do not fall into one of the “types” i can register, and it never really involves noticing the things other people seem to mean by “x looks a lot like y”

i guess there are photographs where my brother looks just like my uncle or something, but in motion i cannot detect it at all even if i know that everyone agrees that my brother looks like my uncle

"The narrator said it, so it must be true!"

You...you do realize the narrator has no idea what he's talking about, and that's on purpose, right? You do realize that we are supposed to be questioning the things the narrator believes without question, right? You do realize the entire point of the narrator is that everything he tells us is the propaganda he's been fed his whole life and we are supposed to be going "Wow get a load of this guy", right????

AKA, I tried to look up Flatland analysis videos on youtube. don't bother lol. It's one person complaining that the bigotry makes no sense (like that's not the entier point, like the whole point is no bigotry makes sense), and another person just accepting without question that lines are literally nothing more than animals who can somehow talk.

God damn.
