I am so sick and tired of seeing the trans women around me being slowly hot coaled into the closet and into essentially being forced back into "Men who would really love being women but Can't because they Aren't". It is so painful stop fucking doing this to our trans women. Stop forcing them to be "Fine" with being called dude bro man he and biologically male stop it stop it stop it you are killing her. You are killing her.

Mark Rothko, Untitled, 1969

Acrylic on wove paper

75 7/8 x 48 in. (192.7 x 121.9 cm) Estate/Inventory Number 2103.69 Collection of Kate Rothko Prizel.

An Alternate scan here, which is modern but not the highest resolution. In fairness, it may be the photographic apprehension of some of the paper works may be deceiving, as a few were painted on a hard wall and not trimmed for mounting, as Rothko would have done during his life. This means that before he starts using masking tape to paint on paper, he's tacking these to a wall and the spatters and fraying on the edges are still present and a little hard to "read" .

But the reason for this scan is how blue it is. Normally, we see an old scan and call it comparatively "Bad" as resolutions are so much better now or the bad scan is a result of a lack of care in presentation.

Both scans we have here however, are from reputable museum sources. The light just hit the paintings differently from lens to lens.

The blue or green cast is not a new thing for Rothko archival photos. We see the aubergine tones come through the chapel paintings it's an eggplant color by name but Rothko called it "Plum" and is the result of (probably) Alizarin Crimson mixed with black and glue and thinned.

However, in the well done, but older Rothko family archives, there's a blue-green effect in many of the black dominated paintings. At any rate compare this version with the other here

i think if your response to "for every oppression a man faces a woman is facing that same stuff but with added intersectional misogyny" is "well we all face the same stuff" then idk if you actually asked anything of me in good faith tbh. "i don't see color" type of response

got a giant and i mean GIANT fresh-squeezed strawberry lemonade at the farmer's market today. i'm talking like a full quart with a straw in it. very delicious. five dollars. nice. as i was leaving, laden with vegetables, a young man waved at me and asked where i had acquired my immense beverage. and after i pointed him toward the stall and informed him of the various prices and flavors, he looked toward the sky, basketball shorts flapping in the breeze, and bellowed to the heavens, "oh i am gonna SLUUUUUUUURP that." happy slurp that saturday everyone.

i think a LOT of you with chronic conditions should learn this one magical phrase to get your hospital doctor to shit his entire pants, which is leaving the room and saying "im going to go discuss your behavior with the ethics committee, i think you might need a reminder of what your job is"

a central transfeminist point that it's difficult for tmes to wrap their heads around is that trans women do in fact interact with society as women, and are treated as women, even when they're being misgendered. misgendering isn't just misunderstanding, it's a deliberate act of violence targeting a particularly vulnerable class of women

this seemingly paradoxical nature of transmisogyny is what makes talking about these things so maddening
