So living with my parents abruptly became unsafe (mentally/emotionally) and I'm leaving ASAP. I have somewhere to go, but it's out of state. I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀

There's this irony that I've heard touched on about superheroes, that the stuff that draws us into them as kids then becomes embarrassing as you get older. Learning to eventually look back on it fondly and enjoy it on its own terms (or even delve into it analytically) is a mark of maturity

The thing about the tradwife thing being an obvious performance kink, is that if you're a cis woman getting off on pretending to be modern day Laura Ingalls Wilder, I support your freak shit, but if you're a cis man getting off on your wife being a prairie mom, I'm judging you

annual repost of Trashed Bathrooms
when I was in college, a part of our university's graduation requirements had a community service component that they called service learning. one of my service learning classes involved work at a local homerless community center, helping people write resumes and cleaning bathrooms. our instructor told us to expect to see the bathrooms trashed a lot - like you will clean the bathroom and immediately someone will wreck it. and it's not because they disrespect your work or don't value having access to clean bathrooms or whatever, but because of control. when you feel like you have no control over your life or your environment, your brain is going to want to assert control however it can. which results in thrashed bathrooms. it's control exercised over one small part of your environment that you still have the power to affect. i see kids on tumblr using the language of social justice as cudgels on people who actually do care about and listen to them. or holding the creators within their own communities to an impossibly high standard that they never apply to mainstream media properties. i just see thrashed bathrooms. 'These are the people my voice actually reach,' they rationalize, 'so these are the people I'll hurt'. but the guiding principles of social justice are aimed at correcting and dismantling systems. stop using them to dismantle people.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Any other Americans out there ever notice that our politicians and media will make you feel like the crazy one for being antiwar?

I mean the people who understand that war is bad have been right about that every single time, but they still don't want us on TV or in Congress.

Weird!
