[Image ID: a typography edit that reads "if you can't stand to see happy transsexuals, look the other way!" in all caps. to the left is a cluster of dandelions. the dandelions have a gradient overlay of green, yellow, and orange. the entire image is textured to look aged and photocopied. /End ID]

shame that a lot of tumblr didn't learn their lesson about treating moderate progress as worse than regression from the russian op scandal.
if someone is writing about politics in a way that makes you angry about progress in the right direction because it didn't go far enough? do not fucking trust that person.
why do they want you angry about progress? why aren't they sharing ways to help us progress further, but instead just bemoaning how far we haven't gotten? do not fucking trust people who want you emotionally raw and helping no one.

As a fiction writer, I don’t speak message. I speak story. Sure, my story means something, but if you want to know what it means, you have to ask the question in terms appropriate to storytelling. Terms such as message are appropriate to expository writing, didactic writing, and sermons — different languages from fiction.
[...]
I’m not saying fiction is meaningless or useless. Far from it. I believe storytelling is one of the most useful tools we have for achieving meaning: it serves to keep our communities together by asking and saying who we are, and it’s one of the best tools an individual has to find out who I am, what life may ask of me and how I can respond.
But that’s not the same as having a message. The complex meanings of a serious story or novel can be understood only by participation in the language of the story itself. To translate them into a message or reduce them to a sermon distorts, betrays, and destroys them.
— Ursula Le Guin, A Message About Messages
