Ngl, and I'm gonna piss some people off but I kind of wish the show didn't exist.

Idk it's creating an energy in this fandom that I'm not vibing with that wasn't there before.

sometimes, that fictional man from your tv shows does actually like women. like, he can like men, too, but sometimes that fictional man is pansexual. not gay. it isn't always comphet, i promise. you can write that he's loved women. it doesn't take away from his queerness.

i don't go here and CR SPOILERS but -

im living for Laudna, miss (literally has a head FULL of voices some of which aren't even evil dead women or her own repressed raunchiness recently reincarnated as a rat) also being implied to having always had (RE: "it's finally happened") at least ONE voice who looked at the friend she thinks is the most sensible in the group and still whispered-

"yes but what if he snaps one day and kidnaps Imogen?? Imogen is the best and most amazing i wouldn't surprised at anyone wanting to kidnap her, even Ashton"

XD

AND THE N THE MOMENT IMOGEN AND HIM TROT OFF WITHOUT HER NOTICING she just like (⓿A⓿) I KNEW IT !!!

<3 imogen thinks that's just the sweetest thing <3

seriously is there a higher compliment then believing, even just for a second, that your gf is soooooo great even Ashton Himself would crack under the pressure if given the chance to kidnap her? Laudna's riding that Imogen Is Just Irresistible Actually And Obviously Everyone Else Agrees With Me On That train right into panic sobbing station, where Imogen was waiting with a dopy smile and a reassuring hug

(imogen who's got some of the biggest mom abandonment and shunned by her own dad baggage loves her clingy undead girlfriend good for her good for her) b

stepping fully aside from my stolitz angst for a sec

apology tour gave verosika DEPTH and hoo-boy what an unexpected surprise that I am SO here for

it would've been the easiest thing for the writers to make her a catty antagonist and they didn't and I'm eating it up

bro literally broke her heart and has shit-talked her ever since because he has his own issues he deals with poorly but she leveled with him anyway after seeing that he was super torn up in a way she related to and I need to emphasize that she did NOT have to do that

tbh I think I’d be a lot more entertained by the way Wish is getting canned if I thought Disney was actually going to learn anything from it. like ‘maybe 2D animation is still a worthwhile medium’, or ‘maybe we shouldn’t be scrapping almost-finished projects the studios we keep buying are working on’, or even ‘maybe it’s time to start putting more effort into the thing that made us famous in the first place instead of continually deprioritising that in favour of Star Wars and the MCU’. but instead I’m like 99% sure they’re gonna twist it into ‘movies with BIPOC leads don’t sell’ and go right back to making movies about rich blondes. as usual

Get a god killed, host a shrimp party seconds later... yeah that sounds like what Junior Year was to me

[icedmetaltea]

I tried (Oh I tried)

Basically a Jakyll and Hyde kind of thing (and I suppose normal Sun and Moon thing-)

I was thinking a sundial kind of thing but eh I cannot do that thing

Oooooo cool idea :000 I have no idea who Lunar and Solar are but it'd def be an interesting design. Gonna need to weigh my options, I wanna do something pretty complicated for Eclipse IF I get around to it before my art bug runs out :v

If anyone has more ideas (or u have more design ideas you wanna doodle) I'm all ears! Well, eyes. I love seeing what u come up with :> ❤️❤️❤️

ADHD stimulants include: Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta, and Jornay PM

ADHD non-stimulants include: Strattera, Qelbree, and Intuniv

"other meds" include: non-ADHD stimulants that are meant to treat other conditions, depressants, antidepressants, and any self-medicated drugs like meth, cocaine, and alcohol

other clarification:

please note that "affects me more" just means that the side effects are more intense when medicated than when not medicated. this could mean that you become more energetic/stressed/frantic than you usually get when drinking caffeine, but it could also mean that you get more tired/fatigued/lathargic than you usually get when drinking caffeine.

in the same vein, "affects me less" just means that the side effects are less intense when medicated than when not medicated. so if you become super stressed after drinking caffeine when off your meds, consuming caffeine while on your meds might make you get just a little anxious (and likewise with fatigue).

I'm so fucking glad I'm seeing more actual nuanced conversations about *what* TERF ideology and strategies are. I'm still bristly over a few years ago when a friend I've since grown apart from told me things on our first ever system roster sounded "suspiciously terf-y." for talking about enjoying "female musicians," and one sysmate being described as having "a complicated relationship with womanhood." This was a context only visible to people who know me very well and are aware of our politics and transition. And that just felt so bad, especially since this was something very vulnerable and private. Like this person wasn't paying any attention to my actual values and behavior and was instead waiting for me to just slip up with language and reveal myself as a Threat.

very much an off-the-cuff post so there may well be bugs, i'm still workshopping my thinking here, but—

i seem to see posts fairly regularly in which a member of some marginalized group A is objecting to attempts by less marginalized group B to make connections between discrimination against A and harm experienced by B (the main thing i have in mind here is when people attempt to align themselves with visibly-trans people by pointing out the ways that transphobic legislation also impacts gnc cis people, theatrical crossdressing, &c, but there are definitely also examples along other axes)—

and like. the main objection i've seen from A is 'why do they have to connect my experience to their experience in order to care about it? why can't they just agree that i shouldn't be discriminated against as a matter of, like, compassion for fellow humanity?'

and this reaction does honestly always just seem a little, idk, naive to me?? like, i don't know, it's gotten very popular ime to complain about normies' clumsy attempts to Understand Instead of Just Accepting [this feels potentially linked to like. the way many of us now prefer silently clicking 'like' to producing our own original, maybe clumsy, responses? but don't @ me on that point], probably because a lot of the time they aren't genuinely seeking to Understand but just to point out all the ways our queerness &c doesn't fit their received (unexaminedly conservative) understanding of the world, which feels to us (very reasonably!) like renewed pressure from the establishment to make ourselves fit that established framework, and so we resist… but at the same time, idk, maybe i'm just outing myself as lesser-than-thou here, but for every sort of person i was raised to distrust and have since arrived at genuine loving acceptance/appreciation of, it's involved first coming to understand their frame of reference at least a little? not to say that there isn't a place for shutting up and listening while you're still working to understand, because there definitely is! but i do kind of think this idea that's become popular in certain liberal circles of like, 'you don't have to understand my experience, you just have to respect it,' is fine and true for keeping peace with strangers, but really isn't a recipe for winning friends or influencing people—it's a recipe for keeping people at arm's length where they can't hit you. and then people turn around and want to apply that rule to coalition-building, and get all shocked-pikachu-face when others seek to identify more active points of connection.

...

another ~Radical Objection to Liberal Approaches~ i've seen, though often not specifically in this context (of discussing the way attempts to oppress A have knock-on effects for B), is like—'there's no point in deconstructing their logic because it's fundamentally illogical! insert that sartre quote abt anti-semites!' and like. no, there's absolutely no point in debating their logic with them. but fundamentally when people assert a logical resistance to bigoted positions they are not doing it to Own The Bigots, imo, or at any rate shouldn't be; they're (we're) doing it to reaffirm the basis of their/our own camp's position, namely, we see your knee-jerk fears and reject them; we substitute instead a patient allegiance to logic, that reasons its way into compassion.

that said, obviously there's a conversation to be had here about, like, platforming bad positions, and to what extent deconstructing them is implicitly platforming them! but. i do think that complaining that logic won't win over bigots is missing the very fundamental point that the logic isn't for the bigots: it's for us. we're talking to ourselves; we're affirming ourselves. and yeah, we need to understand that this sort of intra-party discussion doesn't, on its own, constitute sufficient activism! messages need to be communicated beyond the bounds of the party! but i do think i disagree that there's no place for it.
