i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.

on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.

someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please

victorian trans guy who goes to beloved local barber sweeney todd and presses half a crown in his hand and says “begging your pardon sir, i know it ain’t much but i was hoping you might tell my employer i get me shaves from you should he ever come around. only he’s been asking me how i keep my chin so smooth and i haven’t the heart to tell him i can’t grow a beard, so i might have told him a little lie, sir, and said it’s all due to your wonderful skill, sir” and sweeney todd goes “no problem. by the way would you say your employer deserves to die”

Hey so part of the argument around gay rights in the late 90s through the teens was.

"Hey, this is totally different from the civil rights movement. The idea that blacks and whites shouldn't sit at the same restaurant together was a recent invention in history, contingent on really specific American culture, so that was easy to change.

"But gay marriage deals with some of the most foundational feelings in human psychology and some of the most universal and ancient cultural practices! It's absurd to think that some glib answer about "consent" could overturn thousands of years of culture and psychology! Unless gay people come up with a knockout argument, there's never going to be a change, and frankly there probably is no argument strong enough to make homosexuality truly acceptable, when you weigh it against the whole history of human psychology."

And then, oops, turned out "Yeah just let consenting adults do whatever" totally worked! We didn't need to answer any of those thorny questions of human psychology and it has been years since I have seen anybody bother to even ask them.

I leave any analogy to modern day trans politics as an exercise for the reader.

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say
