this!! My experience with oppression based on not only gender or queerness but also disability has been invalidated by so many "feminists", even fellow trans people, because "I'm a man and therefore can't face oppression". Like as soon as I came out everything just stopped so I should just shut up about issues that don't affect me, when I was harassed even more after coming out and the issues do affect me. Transmasculine people do face oppression, and claiming otherwise is not only transmasc erasure but also just a blatant lie.
the more i participate in discussions of transmasculine issues, the more disgusted i become at the approach a lot of "trans inclusive" feminists have towards transmascs...
feminist theory exists to serve the real life people that are harmed by patriarchy. if theory is not sufficiently serving real human beings who are desperately looking for acknowledgment of their suffering, then it must be rewritten to make room for that acknowledgment. if transmasculine people are all telling you about discrimination they have experienced, and how feminist theory does not make room to talk about their unique relationship with gender based oppression, you modify the theory to make room. you don't bash them over the head with writing that doesn't account for their existence.
feminism is not a religion. it is a conversation that must account for new perspectives and evolve to encompass them if we want to make any progress. but many feminists who discount transmasculine experiences want to treat the current state of feminist theory as a bible of unwavering truth: if men who face gendered oppression aren't mentioned, then trans men must be wrong about their lived experiences. of course, your precious theory could never have blind spots!

it should be said that some of you are way too dorky about laika
#emergency broadcast system#like okay name another animal that went to space. just one. an american one maybe? no? just soviets bad dog killers?#you say id rather have a very pampered dog that doesnt know whats happening before during or after to die in space than a human who does#and everyone loses their minds on dork.com (tumblrs true domain title)#i am fine with people who acknowledge that she was very well cared for and loved. and i like her being a symbol of space exploration#because its a very important study that we needed live subjects to continue. and if she is emblematic of that i hold no ill regard#however when people are like wahh scientists killed laika baby dog poor pupper whateverrr#name another dog. a monkey maybe. other animals went to space and died. and had names. and caretakers. and many lived too#name a living non human animal that went to space. theres dozens. a cat even. whats her name. what about the tortoises. many hatched eggs.#like oh my god theres so much interesting stuff. also name a human thats not the first man in space nor the first two men on the moon.#actually just name the other guy that was there with neil armstrong and buzz aldrin. if you cant pass this bare minimum you cant-#-web weave all day about laika. especially as an american

This was originally a request from a friend but I figured I might as well post here coz I think it’s too funny
Audio: Berlioz, Symphonie Fantastique Mvt. 4. March to the Scaffold
Would highly recommend listening to the whole track coz it’s a banger but also it’s literally the composer having an opium-induced fever dream about him getting his head lopped off at the guillotine so
#genshin impact#focalors#neuvillette#I’m not sorry#this whole thing spawned from me ranting about Fontaine’s OST for like the nth time#for context I’m a classical musician and while I don’t think Fontaine’s music is necessarily bad#and I get what Hoyomix was aiming for#the direction they chose just frustrates me so much that I could probably scream about it for a good ten minutes or so#again not saying Hoyomix is bad I love their stuff too it just#FRSUTRATES ME#that the nation primarily inspired by what I’m assuming is Belle epoque France#fails to capitalise off of using French romantic composers from the era#and yes I know they said they’ve used Saint-Saëns#Ravel and Faure but I can’t hear it outside of the original Travail motif which was repurposed to just Arlecchino’s#and no imitation compositional technique isn’t making it super obvious either#but somehow we get a lot of Russian and Soviet composers#and I LOVE their stuff#but I was expecting Shostakovich and Stravinsky for SNEZHNAYA NOT FONTAINE#and also Khachaturian while we’re at it#SERIOUSLY WHY IS THERE A SUPER STRAVINSKY SOUNDNING TRACK IN SOME FRENCH CAVES#for reference the track is Magick Without Tears#I mean if we got Chopin at least question mark#but the dude is still Polish and famously homesick despite living in France#but seriously how did we get fricking Le Mer referenced in INAZUMA BUT NOT FONTAINE#no track names alluding to Debussy’s famous works don’t count either we could’ve had La Cathedral Engloutie underwater or something likE#IMAGINE#*cathedrale oops#and don’t get me started on how one of the few references I can find to French Impressionism is just Satie’s gymnopedie#and they named it Gymnopedie too LIKE#or any reference in the OST to the operas in Furina’s constellations like those are som serious bangers

Squirrel and Hedgehog Shipping Polls
I’m heading out to the Caribbean this weekend for a family vacation, so this poly ship should make for a warm discussion from the suggestions and prompts in the tags.
The captured Field Mouse from episode two, and his hedgehog Guards.

#squirrel and hedgehog#the other mouse is shot but this one is quickly just captured#sure they needed intel and you could say they only needed one alive#like 'how many men does it take to deliver a message?' 'Only one'#but on the other hand#what if it was planned as a way for him to escape?#what if it’s like that one bond movie where a Soviet agent pretends to have fallen in love with bond and wants to defect#(Not that he has to be faking here and maybe he’s in love with someone like Mulori instead)#and British intelligence knows it could be a trap but it’s just plausible enough to be true#so they make a plan for the agent to defect but they don’t fully trust them#the hedgehogs just so happened to be there and shoot one of the mice#and take the other one away who complies peacefully#and immediately tells them everything#maybe it was a pre planned desertion#but flower hill doesn’t fully trust him yet which is why he’s tied up#he will have to go through special training and indoctrination before the hedgehogs will accept him properly#maybe they do even like him back but it is forbidden until a certain period of time after he is assimilated or something#idk I just think its a fun idea#sah#SaH#reminds me of that deserter OC rei-does-stuff made back in June#thought it would be great but finds himself restricted because he is 'other'#same with Jollin actually although my guy distrusts everyone from the start and is happy to have a menial job#since despite being treated as a hostile entity he still feels like it is better than his previous living situations#but would this mouse in episode two feel the same if he was barred from the military?#OH BUT IMAGINE#outside of a romance option what is he and his family had a genetic disease that is technically treatable#and they can’t afford the medication for it but could die otherwise#and he really is just captured (variable emotions upon seeing the other one die)#and he resists interrogation until something happens and Flower Hill discovers he has it by accident

Asked my mum why Italian music is such a big part of her generation's youth bc I thought it was super weird so many older people knew exclusively Italian songs from 80s and she told me it's because during Soviet Union all foreign music was banned (which I knew) but for some reason they were able to illegally stream the San Remo festival every year and that was the only foreign music they knew
#this made me super emotional btw#fuck regimes#humans should be able to listen to the music they like#and dress the eay they want#and not be sent to fucking siberia for saying stuff ya know#soviet union#san remo#georgia

rant <3
#so i told my friend im thinking abt engaging more in my christian community again starting w going to church more and visiti g exchanges etc#she kniws abt basically all my other friends being more than less religious and active in their respective communities#+ my family being religious even during soviet times and she even kniws abt the orthodox side of my family#so this shouldnt surprise her this much#why is she trying to talk me out of it saying christianity is evil and she cant agree to creationism like ok bitch me too#she acting as if im gonna become some republican american blonde woman or an primitive medieval peasant wthhh#and like i get it she and her family have always been agnostic and she doesnt have any personal experience with believe and faith#but that is even more reason to shut the hell up?? especially bc i just told her as like a life update i didnt want to start a discussion#w an agnostic no less#ppl like that make me so uncomfortable and then she kept saying things like this person is godless as a joke like stfu???#and kept bringing up she csnt believe in god at random times it made me so umcomfortable#especially bc now i feel hesitant to invite her to hangouts w my more 'strict' friends like idk what she thinks abt them and i dont want to#expose my friends who have to listen to enough shit to someone like that like i want my home to be a safe space for my friends#anyways thats the same girl who keeps telling me she doesnt think im white and when i tell her her saying this makes me uncomfortable#shes argues its ok bc she is not white herself ok wth im literally german/slavic how is that not white im crying#cant really articulate what exactly makes me uncomfy abt this but feels like she wants to enable me its really weird#also with tge christian stuff like ive always been religious she kniws abt me reading religious texts its so weird to me#why are you my friend if you disagree with a foundamental part of my life#maybe she thoight i was an ok one bc me and my familys approach to believe and faith is very relaxed but wth man

Im pissed because post war this country did the best and most unique shit ever like we were firsts on so much new stuff until the 2000's and then it went downhill
#like cmon#when u look at it#nuclear stuff we did our own missiles just to say fuck you to usa and soviets#we were world leaders in nuclear energy for decades... same for super high speed trains#same in the army when u look at the guns like the famas and even now the weird ass helmets lmao you can just know it's frenchies from 5km#and even more 'prestigious' things like the mirrage 2000 and the rafale like cmon#the concorde too

don’t think my dad would be ok if i was queer but he is weirdly ok with my political beliefs and jokes about me being a commie and such without expressing any wish to kill me or whatever
#iso.txt#but then again sometimes he says stuff like vaguely socdem (bernie sanders is cool) or straight up soviet apologia ??#despite being a right libertarian or whatever the ideology of the week is

btw you know what's kind of weird about ai art? it was supposed to be the scientific discovery of the decade, the kind of thing you'd see in newspapers for weeks, but instead it was an annoying twitter trend led by the worst people on earth, tons of apps to make your face look like an anime or a disney character appeared out of nowhere, the internet became kind of useless with all the written ai articles and ai images infesting searches, and also bigots are using it to make really bad political propaganda. like if you had told me ten years ago we would have machines making art i would have never guessed it would be this big of a letdown
#m#art stuff#not to glorify the past or whatever but i get sad when i see those pictures of like. soviet people celebrating the day gagarin went to spac#or how millions of people listened to neil armstrong when humans went to the moon#why dont we celebrate major scientific discoveries anymore? i mean not saying ai art is one of them but i cant remember any good -#pieces of scientific news that were internationally celebrated#the ai thing is especially off-putting bcs every sci-fi movie told us ai would be super cool and fascinating#but instead we have badly written articles that say nothing and anime girls with huge breasts and six fingers

reading retrospective 2023: extremely thick and unexpectedly gripping general histories
#as a disclaimer for nonfiction books of like 450+ pages- no i havent' read every word no i haven't verified everything the author says etc#etc#but the gold war: a global history one i just dug up. i read most of it in high school when i had an IB depth study of the cold war#it's a really interesting repositioning of the cold war by looking especially at africa latin america and asian nations and the smaller#and domestic aspects of it. obvs can't say i agree with/can verify westad on everything#but a super important repositioning incredibly critical of both us and soviet imperialism and the results#the reformation is also interesting in terms of i will admit to not really reading the actual martin luther parts#but macculloch goes into detail for hundreds of pages about the reformation as social revolution and that is FASCINATING holy moly#the stuff with gender. with family structure and homosexuality and whichcraft and sex and death and how this affected social patterns and#ordinary people#ditto last call. haven't finished this but a nuanced history of nuanced issues and the feminist and progressive concerns at play also#fascinating#anyway. just like not what i expected from the cover unexpectly gripping#reading retropsective

Why are the two main things on my mind today the Legend of the Red Dragon story and communism?
#well specifically books about it but just saying “communism” sounds more random#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#red dragon update#animal farm#we zamyatin#also I do know why it’s been on my mind#it’s because when I woke up it was just before the Red Dragon update was going to be released#and since I needed some time to kill I went to YouTube and was recommended a Saberspark video watching Animal Farm#and I watched it and since I know the context of the book I was remembered of We by Zamyatin#another book about the Soviet Union#and alongside my excitement for the Red Dragon update these became the two prevalent things in my mind#but just saying this makes it sound funnier#random stuff

Conclusion
TALEN/TALON LORE CONCLUSION
TMNT
However powerful you are. You should keep your hands clean, pure. And be away from mages* and bad energies.
*mages are the ones who change you from afar from media, through faves etc. They'd be thinking you/they can destroy smb. You/they can also change/destroy their/your soul too. That's a mage.
#Tmnt#TALEN conclusion#TALON cinclusion#You are special and supperior#And you are also not a god to deside over other's fates and rob what was given and made#Also with superpowers; crazy superpowers but you as a social creature will not be at peace for a long time because you didnt lend your hand#to God (they'll work on Your heart)#Even without scary powers remember smth;smb is stronger is cunning smb is ruthless than you (like with that old soviet cartoon lion says#'I am most the most; no)#Also please remember a healthy spirit with a healthy body (bad/ill bod could cause bad thoughts; like when you had corona)#no ableism; no; watch 'jk rowling and ablism' videos then; no shade just saying#SoulSafe#SoulPure#Unlured#Arc#Rottmnt#If I go for a soul route for Lunardo(Guild) I think (s)he will also be redeemed#The one person who cases a trouble (luring Talen/Mona) is a career-shifter; a dectective one day; another thing another day#Their language is lies#I tied Donnie to the lore (by accident; like; I've tied it long before writing all this stuff today); he could get worse (if) his spirit is#unguarded(he detaches himself a lot and rise Donnie is almost priding himself for being unemotional;there'sAchance that he doesn'tSeeSBTXT#Where have I read all those crazy theories that are in the text#.... I've made up (*covering my mouth;smiling*)#I say god themes but im also an atheist because it is all made up#I also insult the crator(creator) too saying that it is a fetushist (suffering fetish) and if smb falls victim to the body-discomforts#they cant really call a lawer and demand justice for the injustice (some things are left for human intelligence and innovation)#The god im saying is smb you make yourself(the soul feel) out of trouble#And it is also made up (the one thing that isn't kind of made up is that we are wired as social; like dogs and horses; bad actions (yoursel#and others) results in a bad psychie#So you should protect yourself and be safe;listen to the angel-advisor(your imagination;it can be low-informed;or non-malevolent it's yours
