This steadiness, this quality of tough-minded tranquillity which could sometimes seem stolid, was balm to the disease of danger and unrest which was preying on them all. In this was Culter's great strength. Now in his mid-thirties, quiet, stocky and unremarkable, he was still nearly unique for his time in that he was perfectly reliable.

Dorothy Dunnett, Queen's Play

A "medical professional" went on a diatribe about his past experiences with "people like me" (black women) instead of looking at my fucking chart and seeing that I'm like no other. After his diatribe, I told him that I neither had nor did any of what he spoke of and he felt really dumb. He ended up not even knowing what to do with me and just blamed everything on me being a black women 'cause I don't do anything but eat and sleep, so he couldn't find anything to blame my issue on. It was really funny and really sad.

I was watching Succession (b/c of course I was) and remembered how YouTube treated me for making reactions to it, EVEN THOUGH OTHERS ON YOUTUBE DO IT WITH NO PROBLEMS (I'm not bitter). Anyway I was hearing these words out of Kendall's mouth, and the way he's been using them in sentences is interesting.

this isnt anything but also i do think its weird how many go fans view crowley as like some etherial gender fiend and then aziraphale as like. hes a man but im woke and say hes nonbinary. but hes a man. but both of them [in the show] dress like masculine mostly? and between the two of them aziraphale is the one with more obviously ‘feminine’ gestures (which is because he is a gay man on purpose but i digressss). anyway. my point is that i think it happens because crowley is skinny and aziraphale is fat + the fat gender bias. thanks
