#i fucking hate it here!!!

Just a reminder that if you don’t have anything nice to say THEN DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!

“And you don't see how you're incapable of writing happy things?” (after I told them what I thought TKN is in one emoji)

“Me personally I wouldn't want the emojis people would describe my story with to be literally all of the sad looking ones”

if you ever wonder why US public transportation is so fucked, consider that in indianapolis, where the government has put into a place a mutli-year plan for three rapid transit lines in the city (one of which is already complete), state legislators have made numerous attempts to temporarily or permanently halt the project. the latest one just passed out of the state senate.

there is this absolutely odious trend in our statehouse of lawmakers making legislation that EXCLUSIVELY targets the city of indianapolis. are other states like this? indianapolis is the largest city in the state by quite a bit, and maybe other states have more larger cities with different things going on, but can you imagine dedicating your limited time legislating focusing on policies that affect a single county in the whole goddamn state?

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

The UK government headed and run by many transphobes has decided to make the Trans Panic defense legal. If a trans person does not disclose their gender and the other party presses charges due to this, they can be convicted with sexual assault crime.

Furthermore any trans person, (tho particularly trans women), who has obtained a Gender Reassignment Certificate (GRC) will be put into prison of their birth sex if the matter is a sex crime

With these two bits of legislation Labour have made it not only legal but easy for trans people to be jailed and sexually assaulted by members of their birth sex. We know for a fact that sexual assault in prisons happen esp to trans women. We know that placing them in female prisons, whilst not eliminating sexual assault, does make it less common.

Labour are defining a movement based on fear. Based on the fact that any cis person disgusted by their own internalised transphobia at sleeping with a trans person will have the full backing of the law to punish them. Even if sexual consent was given. Even if you both got inebriated and fucked and the "victim" found out your transness later. This puts every stealth trans woman at risk. This puts every trans woman who enjoys hook ups at risk. This puts everyone at risk.

And yet people wonder why trans women overwhelmingly date their sisters and friends.

“He was fond of me”

“And I of him”

If the writers of House of The Dragon keep gaslighting the audience into thinking Viserys was anything better than a powerful man who stole a young girls future, dreams and physical body in the quest for a son he will never love, I will riot

executive dysfunction really is a complete fucking nightmare. all the decisions you could make, but you won't. All the things you know you should do, you want to do, but you won't. Yeah yeah we all know it's a symptom but it feels and looks like just.... deciding not to be responsible.

It's easier not to, so i guess I just won't. I promise it's not laziness, I swear. It's not me just giving up on things that affect more than just me, I swear. Maybe if I say it enough I could hope to believe it myself.

The US just airstriked Yemen because of the Houthi sea blockade of Israel. This is such horrifically depraved, evil shit on the part of the Biden administration. Almost beyond words.

do people just not know how boycotting works. or how rallying together to make a difference works. what other examples can I use to make it make sense. okay pretend that someone is fund-raising, and their goal is to make $1000. you may think "man I can only afford to donate $1, and thats such a small amount and it wont make any difference at all, so why bother."

that might be true! $1 isnt a lot of money, and there is very little you can do with $1!! okay, so now pretend that one hundred people who see that post think the exact same thing. "Why bother contributing when what I do makes no difference?" and so none of them contribute that single dollar.

If they all decided "It may not be much, but I can contribute what I can" then suddenly that fundraiser has been given $100. Thats a significant amount of money, and much more than $1!!

do you fucking understand. why is everyone so fucking defeatist. "There is nothing I can do as an individual to make a difference" no one is asking you to single handedly stop wars. People are asking COMMUNITIES to come together to make a difference. Chose to be apart of that community.

Apes together strong. Lets break into Area 51, they cant stop all of us. Whatever fucking slogan that works for you
