The funny(?) thing about being Jewish but not Ultra-Orthodox is that your family and Rabbi could easily be fine with you being gay or trans, but if you’re anti-zionist or want to marry a goy? Well, then you’ll have a problem

being gay in the early 2010s was crazy people would walk up to you and say "did you know neil patrick harris is gay" and that would be the whole sentence

Being bisexual isn't just about being attracted to multiple genders. It's about being willing to commit crimes against nature to save someone you love, even against their will.

interesting that we refer to stupid people as rubes when the most famous rube of all was well-known for his beautiful machines

Wizards are like programmers.

Some are equally as curious and maladjusted but actively hate hegemony, and will be very irritated that their field is Like That while going off to do their own thing

I’ve been listening to Worlds Beyond Number, playing Baldur’s Gate 3, reading Lord of the Rings, and thinking about Fate/Stay Night again. So I’m constantly thinking about how much wizards suck, in ways consistent across fiction. Mages love thinking their intelligence makes them know better than anyone, and will gladly serve (or form!) empires and other oppressive structures for it. Because they can impact and weave the world with the sheer force of their intelligence, and often, bloodlines. It lends itself well to fascism. It’s also the sort of neglecting to consider others, because you never had to. And usually, that arrogance is not only harmful to others, but leads to your own self-destruction

as a cis guy, when presented with the "99% you get a ton of money, 1% you turn into a girl" it honestly would be dumb to not hit that button until it breaks. like ok now i have 100 bajillion dollars and gender dysphoria. big deal. i have all the money in the world to turn me back into a guy. like with that kind of money i could have obama do me a phalloplasty. he wouldnt be able to do it as he isnt a surgeon but the point still stands
