i think in a world where the political right is aggressively trying to portray all trans women as pedophile invaders, making it your job as a trans person to hunt down trans women who you personally believe to be dangerous (based on, let's be real, information gathered through stalking campaigns from people who have nothing but malicious intent) makes you also a fascist

I think every lesbian who says she wouldn't date a bi woman is functionally on the same wavelength as men who say they would only marry a virgin

#Give them a lacture explaining the intrinsic and unavoidable violence of the automobile - the mirriad social harms - the unsustainability#Explain to them that - while tragic - the system of auto dominated roadway we are accustomed to make incidents like this an inevitability#Help them to examine their states options for Ebike subsidies and how to help the local street safety movements

Sorry, but Jeremy Corbyn’s new party is already fucked if they accept a transphobe into their ranks. How can you be the home of the ‘new left’ if you’re going to let every cunt and their dog in?

This is a pro Wesley account
#Wesley is a good character fight me#“Oh he was a bit annoying in early seasons” he was a child character being written in the 80s that's the default

Fuck Betazoids, I'm an Alphazoid I'm on that kush that lets me eavesdrop on trees. Zaza got me thinking I had an Orb Experience. I'm smoking that shit that made Garak racist. I'm on that ill-considered sexism episode sativa, I'm misandrist now to teach you a lesson. We're hot-boxing up in Ops, blowing the seals out of the stem bolts. I'm on that Confederation of Earth Q-continuum kush altering the fate of humanity, this shit ain't nothing to me man. Temporal Investigations is on my ass but they must have forgot that I will have been him. I use beetle snuff like it's baby powder; I like how it feels. My edibles are phase-shifted. My edibles are showing up as holograms on the tricorder. My edibles are inverting the gravimetric field. I'm puffing on the peace pipe of non-specific American Indian tradition, I'm on a cross-continental spiritual journey, this shit ain't nothing to me. We're smoking inertially-dampened crack you stupid piece of shit.

Other Star Trek characters when pretending to be part of another species: professional make up/prosthetics made by their doctors.




Meanwhile, vulcans while pretending to be human:

yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldn’t have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandma’s house. don’t worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.
Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.
Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)
Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet
#Also plastic recycling is a scam it's all down cycling#Genuinely baffled how much plastic there still is in the world in 2025 we've had so long to get a handle on it

really not sure when it happened or why but personally I'm pissed that the queer community at large seems to have given up ground on the "people with penises/vulvas/testes/ovaries" language to sex & gender essentialists in exchange for the much less precise, much more demeaning "AGAB" language.
is it because you're scared of the word vulva? of acknowledging out loud that some people have penises? of recognising that many many people, including but certainly not limited to trans people, have mixed sex characteristics that cannot be accurately summarised by "afab/amab" as shorthand for "female/male"?
"in [GENITAL RELATED] situation AFABs will need to do X and AMABs will need to do Y" there are "afabs" with penises and "amabs" with vulvas. Saying this shit makes you look so unserious & honestly transphobic (given the ongoing erasure of post-op trans people within broader community). Intersex people and GRS have both existed for long enough (fucking forever and, decades, respectively) that we should well past making this basic fucking mistake.
quit referring to people by a vague & often violent event that happened at their birth as though it defines ANYTHING about how they & their body currently operate, and start using precise language so you at least look like you know what you're fucking talking about.
#Yeah the idea of afab / amab to describe a sociological process of categorisation and so on#But then in reality that is wayyyyy to nuanced for online so here we are - two new bioessentialist terms#If people claim I'm amab I just tell them I'm not - don't put your fucking assumptions on me becuase you spotted a “masculine trait”

I wanna make something explicitly clear:
When that motherfucker finally dies (and it will be soon, I feel it in my bones) I don’t want ANYBODY saying shit about “okay but y’all realize we gotta deal with V*nce as president now, right-” FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS POST MORTEM.
We get to celebrate this. We get to celebrate the death of a monster. Give us a weekend to have our parties before we get back to the severity of our fuck ass government.
For the love of Christ let us have a win.

I genuinely think the idea that if you should draw a little every day or you'll suffer skill degradation is a total fabrication. Some of the best art I've ever drawn has been coming back from long breaks. I'm talking like weeks. Sometimes you just gotta reset and flush the systems. There's no shame in it. Take breaks. The art will be there for you when you're ready.
#The whole 'do one thing a day' idea is stupid#You're setup for failure and will end up doing nothing#Ive been going to a sketching group every Saturday for 2 hrs since early 2024 and have had so much improvement#If I tied my success to doing more I'd fail and then do nothing#I considder these freebies effectively#I want to do more during the week and sometimes do but if not oh well I've still got my one a week

Star Trek fans will point to the weirdest looking mf made of melting wax and wearing carpet for clothing and say, “they’re so hot,” and I’m just in the corner nodding my head going, “you’re so right queen, you’re so right.”
