Literally the point of feminism is "hey, we can all sit at the table and chat like adults"
You all realize Feminists have been critiquing "women only spaces" for decades right?
I think often about Audre Lorde's critique of a women only event that welcomed her wife and daughter, but not her son. Because she questioned it - the function and purpose of barring even the sons of Feminist women from Feminist events. Especially the barring of her young Black son, who would otherwise be left alone in the city where he would be more prone to the very violence those same Feminist women claimed to want to change.
Because what functional, forward thinking Feminist purpose does it actually serve to do that? What message does that send to women with sons, husbands, brothers, lovers, friends, who want to involve the men and boys in their lives in their activism? Who want to build a functionally better world for us all outside of the oppressive grasp of Patriarchy? Especially for the marginalized men who often sit at their own intersection violent Patriarchal oppression, that still happens to be Patriarchal oppression despite it not being distinctly misogyny?
What purpose does it truly serve to sequester yourself away into a pocket of the world, detached from those you share it with? What bright and shining future does that really promise you?
#feminism#anyways#like discourse is necessary to find a middle ground that is acceptable to all parties#sans nazis and cultists#or should i say extremists#fuck it#i said both#like most people fall in the middle#but then you get nazis#they cant come to the table#cuz theyll be all weird#with their strange obsession with a race war?#but like everyone else is like#nah#we just want equal rights and equity in our systems#why you gotta be weird like that#btw both left and right both have extremist#its just the whole nazi thing is a bit fuckin on the wall rn

Holiday Classics
Been thinking about Ford watching the 70s Animated Lord of the Rings Movies... (companion comic to this post!)
#the other two VHS tapes Fidd's is holding are Rankin-Bass' The Hobbit (1977) and Return of the King (1980)! The 70s animated pseudo-trilogy!#A lot of people pointed out on my other lotr 'crossover' post that Ford would have seen the 70s movies!#And i wont lie i entirely forgot they existed. But now i remember i have so many feelings on it okay. Ford my silly LOTR nerd#I dont think he would have seen Bashkis in theaters. far as I can tell it was a VERY limited (likely mostly CA) run in the middle of winter#but Rankin-Bass'? Aired on NBC & ABC. He absolutely woulda watched them or rented a VHS later. Which is why he's most excited by Bashki's#He's just such a nerd. I need him to nerd out. But also lowkey angst on how his single focus on bill/the portal lead#him to neglecting even the small things in life. Like knowing a VHS release of an adaptation of his favourite book series had come out#GF fanart#Gravity Falls#gravity falls comic#Fan art#fanart#fiddleford mcgucket#fiddleford hadron mcgucket#young fiddleford mcgucket#*holds two random VHS tapes in one hand to check Fidd's pose in the 2nd panel makes sense* Well thats mathamatically feasible!#young stanford pines#stanford pines#ford pines#Book of Bill#comic#artists on tumblr#my art#Grunkle ford#fiddauthor#cause Fidds is not talking about the movie there. Well okay he's talking about the portal but He COULD BE TALKING ABOUT- *I am dragged off*

also to build off of this excitement, i would like to announce that according to my husband i have reached gender ambiguity so severe it scares our neighbors. what am i? my voice is mid. my chest is a little chubby but so is the rest of me. i have long hair but its paired with a camo trucker hat. my legs are unshaven but short. i am the boogeyman
#people genuinely and i mean this so fucking fr people genuinely grab their children and bodily put themselves between us#when i walk down the street in our stupid bougie neighborhood#we dont belong here and everyone can tell LOL were in the cheapest most falling apart house in the area#people swerve off sidewalks and walk in the middle of the street to go around me. or run up their porches#and i mean RUN dude. run up their porches and inside. its insane#we thought for the longest time its bc we look like an unidentifiable but definitely faggy couple#but lo told me recently that he doesnt get that reaction at all when hes alone LMAO#'its because they cant figure out what you are. you look really ambiguous like that.'#fucking score

i genuinely love writing for damian he is such a piece of shit <3 <3
#sophie speaks#like the guys are all possessive but dames is#hes on a whole nother fucking level man#0 to a 100 immediately he does not know what a middle ground is#which is why hes most like tim to me because jason and dick fall in love slowly#tim and damian. do not do that lmfao#the batman no kill rule quivers in the face of damians possessiveness ngl#hes very loyal to his father now but he's also. lets just say the assassin training childhood had an effect on his worth of a human life#he sees the rule as more important than the people hes not killing

If I say Bumlets is into conspiracy videos about the government or missing people (or just any in general) whos gonna stop me
#and skittery gives the vibes of wanting to learn about missing people's cases#they both really like the mysteries#once together skittery and bumlets will watch and theorize about them#most times swifty is in the middle of them and falls alseep to their voices as skittery plays with his hair and bumlets holds his hand-#to kiss and rub his thumb over swiftys knuckle#and bumlets gives me windgoon vibes (praying someone out their knows)#newsies#92sies#1992 newsies#1992sies#newsies musical#newsies 1992#bumlets newsies#skittery newsies#swifty newsies#bumswiftery newsies

forced myself to finish this book even though by the last hundred pages or so all i was doing was picking apart the post-catholicism of it all. bc i feel like it's important to read shit you don't gel with . just because. even though the whole way through i was like they HAVE to prove it's not real. they HAVE to. so not the point of any of it but i was desperate for them to Find The Body etc. and of course instead they have mystical time travel experiences and all that because that is the kind of book the actual star is but i was desperate for them to realize that the star you see is the actual star. and then it wasn't
#the actual star#like i me? personally? am a staunch and firm believer that the star you see is the actual star#i dont cotton to the concept of 'higher levels of consciousness'#or 'transcendence' or the concept that the world is not the home#like. do i think people can put themselves in altered states of consciousness? sure. but none of those states are higher or better#it's just drugs or whatever. hallucination. sleep deprivation. really good/bad mood. brainwaves#i like aggressively dont believe that shit#but the book and the characters here DO. and i had to go with it while trying not to nitpick it too hard the entire time#not my favorite experience but one i was determined to have anyway just to see the thing through to the end#i think my favorite timeline was a tossup between the 1012 and the 3012. but the 3012 mostly in the beginning when it was all worldbuilding#by the end it was getting more mystical and i had too many issues with the future society that weren't going to have time to be resolved#which was very clearly also not the Point Of The Book which is a big one for loose threads and 'decoherence of meaning'#the 1012 plot was more engaging on a throughline level. i enjoyed it beginning middle to end just wish ket had been there more#she was sort of a decoy protagonist she got a couple chapters and then it was all the twins lethally misunderstanding each other#this is also a book which really really gets into entropy which#well first of all its scary. entropy. but secondable it's not as big of a noticeable deal as youd think it would be#what the fuck ever you're alive#who cares if everything is going to fall apart in eight billion years#there's a bit in the last xander chapter where he's like oh i HATE everything i HATE the earth!!! ok and you're about to have#the most formative experience of your life and build a cult around it. on the foundational idea that the earth isnt as real as heaven is#babeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the catholicismmmmmmmmmmmmmm#this book. more than anything. made me think about all of the 3012 jewish buddhist etc ppl living in sedente communities like#watching all of this from the sidelines wondering when Christianity 2 is going to fall apart under its own weight#now THAT'S entropy babey

how did the april fools boop day go for you ? Do you miss the boop?
I sent out about 4000 boops yesterday and my arms were about to split in half fr!!! (つ╥﹏╥)つ
I was visiting my dad for easter and had to fight demons to restrain myself from eating any more chocolate eggs because my idiot ass just kept vacuuming them into my mouth to the point I felt like throwing up, but the moment I felt fine my brains were immediately like "hmmmmm. maybe another egg won't hurt (:" and that. that was the devil itself talking I stg
Some of my friends sent videos and pics of their Easter bonfires (a Western Finnish tradition) and I wanted to be there so baaaaaad!!! Just watching all the snow gradually melt and form tiny little streams that glimmer around the bonfire is just so 👌👌👌👌 My roomie was back home and apparently there was a huge thunderstorm too over the weekend?? Like a total armageddon tier thunderstorm even tho it was like 3 °C (37 °F) outside????
#i think i spent most of my boop day sitting in the kitchen waiting for my dad to finish napping so I wouldn't have to take the#tram or bus to the train station and drag all my stuff with me#idk why my dad sleeps so poorly all the time!! he doesn't even change his sheets!!!! i should buy him new ones because idk if he has enough#i've asked him what kinda pillows he likes so i could buy some for him and the dude's just like 'ehh i already have pillows'#yeah you do!!! shitty ones!!!!#what is it with middle aged men that makes them dismiss all the important stuff at home and instead buy useless stuff#like bro your dick won't fall off if you sleep in clean sheets every once in a while!! it would help with your sleeping problems too!!!#anyway lmao enough about me ranting about my dad's sleeping habits#i wanna hear how your boop day went!! how many people did you boop?#kanailu

ok but no guys seriously how do you ask for reassurance in a way that doesn't make you look like a stupid yandere stereotype
#can't be too casual and be like “hey nothing you did all me but i need some reassurance that you still like me”#because thats like pathologizing or something???#i dont actually know what pathologizing is supposed to mean ive done a lot of research and i cant wrap my head around it still#but it sounds like something someone would say is pathologizing#I can't go in the middle and actually explain it like#“hey you've been kinda dry lately i wanna know if i did something or if you're not feeling well or if it's just me”#cause people HATE that#they'll call it guilt tripping they'll lie to get you to shut up and continue to let resentment build#eventually leading to an explosive falling out#OR you'll make them self conscious of their own actions which i would HATE to be the cause of because this SUCKS#but it also ALSO leads to nasty falling outs where they tell you they need to walk on eggshells around you#which may or may not have been due to levels of their own insecurity but either way itd still be my fault#for saying anything in thr first place#and you DEFINITELY can't be like#“hey i really like you and i want to keep you as a friend so thats why i wanted to ask if ive done anything#because you seem really off lately and i don't want this friendship to end because you mean a lot to me and i swear this isn't a guilt trip#or a one-off if you tell me what's wrong if anything i will work on it i will change it i will do anything to maintain this because your#companionship means so much to me“#because that is what ventures into stereotype territory#and it is also really weird and desperate#HOW DO I STRIKE A BALANCE LIKE THIS#the most central neutral option here seems to be the one with the most bad outcomes#also even though I really would do anything to change im still scared of what people might say if i ask that#and i can't just sit with it either because people pick up on my neuroticism and they don't really like it in friends#i don't need a whole rundown of why people like me as reassurance i really just need a few words like#“oh yeah we're cool you didn't do anything/i have personal stuff going on it's not you/etc”#but in the latter case i don't want my friends to think they have to put their business out there just so i can stop tweaking#and maybe it's bad for me to need the reassurance at all?????? even though i see other people ask about it all the time#but maybe it's different when it's me a lot of things seem to be different when its me#AND THATS NOT COMING FROM A PLACE OF SELF DEPRECIATION it's just a thing ive noticed a lot of things are different when its me compared to

not going to be online all that often anywhere (or if I am it will be sporadic) for a bit due for mental health/physical health reasons but dw im getting some help and I have people supporting me, just need to focus on recovering for a bit. doesn’t mean I’ll be unreachable or that I’ll never be online while I’m recovering just that I’m officially declaring that this is something I need to do for myself in order to actually make progress getting better
#I’ve already been very MIA but now I’m stating the reason and attempting for some level of accountability lol#depression meds stopped working I think. I have an appointment finally scheduled to see what’s going on#it feels like it did when I was in middle school/high school which was about the most depressed I’ve ever been in my life#close second to after Clover died but even then I didn’t feel so scattered to the wind#doesn’t help that my health has been getting worse so I can barely keep moving to feel better#I just got some fibro meds that will hopefully help with the pain#but it’s hard to exist rn lol. like I said I will be ok I have lots of people supporting me I just need to focus on recovery#I just need to make sure I’m not falling apart like I’ve been doing bc I truly cannot continue this way#and I’m sick of not being able to function and feeling so angry and guilty abt that bc it hasn’t helped me recover#I need to be able to start the habit of functioning in a long term way that I can sustain#so that I can actually help others the way I want to

i think hsr is a horror game just for this fucking trailer alone
#the snake eating a bird in the background of red acheron and black swan “dancing”#and how directly afterwards it shows that birds skeleton. hmm#and of course the predator and prey imagery in black and white. with that Damn art style like holy shit#also black swan falling in that weird red and black swirling abyss. as someone who is scared of heights Thats pretty scary#also can i just say. that scene at the very end with all the people falling down from the sky while ahceron is just walking (in the pic)#was the most horrifying part to me. like holy shit man. who used a potion of slow falling on those guys#its just so ominous to me. gives me the creeps#fucking great music choice as well btw#maurposting#i have many thoughts. as you can tell#honkai mumb rail#this trailer really feels like. abstract horror? i dont really know the right word for it#in the best way possible: this feels like something 9 year old me wouldve spaced out thinking about in the middle of class

I freaking love your au and your latest comic because MAN
I FELT THOSE LAST WORDS AND I WAS LIKE "OH FUCK"
First panel was already a bit unsettling itself - like you get it's just intimate manners as you do as a couple but he felt so possessive already and
Sunny's inner thoughts
I'm sure 100% his abandonment anxiety will increase drastically the more he stays with nick and honestly slay
I mean it's kinda obvious
But like I felt that
Yeah
Nick is unhinged
Nick is crazy
Y'all are gay for him
Good 😵💥
Sunny has soooo many issues. So many of them. He's so vulnerable and he makes himself vulnerable to Nick while still being intimidated by him, it's... Dude's got some problems.
#ive talked about mental illness and nick before but not sunny...#well. only a bit. ive said sunny's autistic#but he's also got other problems-- such as abandonment issues as you said#sunny's very insecure in relationships - partly because he has a very limited experience with them#and partly because he has self image issues.#when you grow up as an undiagnosed autistic kid you tend to be very aware you're different while not knowing how to change it#everyone thinks and says you're weird but you have no idea what's weird about you so you can't even try to fit in#a friend of mine told me once that she thought i was so brave for not being scared of being different in middle school#i wasn't. i wasn't brave. i just had no idea why people thought i was weird#sunny in this au knows how deeply different he is from other people but he doesn't know /what/ makes him different or how to change it#and as a result he just doesn't open up very much. he's very reserved and doesnt talk to many people. he has like two friends total#which also conviently makes him easy for nick to isolate#sunny also has bpd! and he gets deeply attached to people who show him any kind of affection very easily#as i mentioned before he also tends to fall for people who intimidate or scare him -- people he sees as mentally superior to him#his self image is constantly oscilliating between 'im the greatest person to have ever lived' and 'im the worst thing to have ever existed'#he's extremely unstable. he has mood swings. he gets obsessive easily. he seeks out relationships with mostly toxic or older people#he doesn't have a good support system. he's socially anxious and an introvert. he's openly trans. most people think he's weird.#he has no stable sense of self. he has panic attacks. he's both hypervigilant and oblivious to lies and attempts at manipulation#all of this makes him a very easy target for someone like nick.#at least- at /least/-- nick genuinely loves him.#ask#tosteur-gluteal#rant#arsenic#i start talking about psychology and i get lost. my apologies

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. grinds my gears more than nonsensical conspiracy theories.
Lots of wildfires all showed up in 72 hours in the front range and now there is a witch hunt, literally, for the 'terrorist' who started them.
My dudes. We had a very wet 2023 and spring 2024. Lots of undergrowth. And now we are in severe drought. It hasn't rained at scale since April. It's been in the 90-100 degree range for two weeks.
do you think. maybe. just maybe. this is what happens. without water. falling from the sky. and people doing. ordinary people things. like using electricity.
#i actually think most people are good but do not discount how incredibly easy it is to fall into conspiratorial thinking#this one is pretty cut and dry. i know it sucks to think about climate change but it's a LOT more likely#than a rouge terrorist setting wildfires 3+ miles from middle class mountain towns on the front range to sow chaos
