And when neither parent is a comfort, you live haunted by their shadows instead of finding your way out from under them.

All these goings-on . . . had merely postponed Morgan's growing up.

page 562 - guess what grunt-laugher;

I had a whole bunch to say about growth without end is capitalism's animating principle and also its inevitable downfall given our existence on a finite world. I was going to say something like consuming the last of our resources leaves nothing to consume but ourselves and we inevitably transform into a sickening monstrosity, an ouroboros human centipede. I think there was something about how inserting AI into that mess might seem to help, so we're only responsible for the shit eating, but the solution ignores that shit is still being made, concentrating its toxicity in every cycle and drowning the chance for something new that could get us out of this mess.

But I can't remember the specifics or even if it made any sense.

Got distracted when I found this is Economian instruction manual for sex. Very abstracted. VERY seXXXXy.

One thing I cannot stand is men negging. It’s such a regressive and stunted trait and it’s always in the guise of getting attention from women who would otherwise not give them the time of day. They simply want attention or a reaction. They’re of the mind that any attention is better than none, so they try to harass, humiliate, or use tired and old PUA tactics that are manipulative simply because they are lame and don’t know how to properly address or approach women, or communicate properly. I always ignore/block them because you won’t get any feminine energy from me. I save that for men who are deserving of it 💕

Movies where the lead actor did their own stunts are always either "the director forced them to stand in freezing water for fourteen hours a day while periodically throwing rocks at their head for the sake of 'authenticity' and they got PTSD and almost died" or "they insisted over the explicit objections of the production's insurance company that they be set on fire for real because it would 'help [them] understand the character's motivation'" – there's absolutely no middle ground.

"Oh so we're not allowed to say 'trans men are men' anymore? So you think they're women? You're a transphobe?"

What they actually said: "Ugh, gross, trans men really are the men of the trans community."

Times like this are when I need more people to be aware of the term "malgendering," the kind of transphobia where someone validates a trans person's gender identity just to use it against them. We can all tell all you're doing is applying your negative stereotypes of cis men to trans men, and it's not transphobic to call you out on it. Trans men do not become shittier people when they transition and you are awful for implying they do.
