saw a poll "how many books have you read so far this year"—and you know there's nothing wrong with tracking your reading and i get why it's popular to do. but oh my god. every time i see something like that, i'm like "thank god for my ocd's sake that i've never done that"
#i get moderately compulsive about counting and comparing things like page and chapter numbers in current-and-recent reads#i keep my list of things i want to read in the near future small on purpose#the ONE time i tried to make a reading list for a month. about a year ago. i hated it and i didn't stick to my own rules#lol#i officially have No Opinion on reading goals but i knoooow. without ever having done them. it'd destroy my love for reading#plus i'd feel like my number would be inaccurate of my reading experience bc i read shorter titles (plays) often#and how do you even count poetry? i do not read poetry books. like. cover-to-cover. nor do i usually wish to#but i still read lots of poetry#the fact that my reading is always spontaneous and self-motivated is what keeps me going#i agree w jared henderson's suggestion of having 'reading projects' rather than reading goals. that resonated with me rather#bc wanting to complete the plays of shakespeare was definitely an ongoing 'reading project' without me thinking of it as one#and after i finished those i wanted to do smth else. which is why i'm in paradise lost currently but taking my sweet time#like i'll finish one book (the sections are called 'books') and take a couple weeks to start the next#im looking forward to being done w pl but i'm only like 60 percent through it lol#i've kind of got several ongoing reading projects going on now that i think of it. some of which i abandon#read what you wanna read! never let yourself lose your love for reading#tales from diana

Trans women will never be free until people stop having strong emotions about penises. Like we, as a society, have got to stop caring about dicks! Dicks have to stop symbolizing maleness, obviously, but they also have to stop symbolizing power, dominance, sexual agency and aggression, violence, and even sex itself. Like trans women can’t be free if the very conceptual presence of a penis represents an intrusion(!) of unwanted(!) sexuality(!) in public life. Like that’s why trans women are abhorrent to both male chauvinists and radical feminists, because both groups have extremely strong feelings about what a penis *represents*, and find the conceptual and actual presence of a woman with a penis to be simultaneously vile and nonsensical because they’ve loaded so much symbolic baggage onto both women and penises.
Anyway dicks are totally neutral body parts and seeing a dick, or a bulge in a swimsuit, or simply knowing that there’s a dick somewhere in the same bathroom as you isn’t harmful or violent
