can't fathom the sheer amount of work
Studio view of the chair stop-motion. Gives you an idea of how I have to think about it compared to what the camera is seeing.

I saw the term "malgendering", which is only recognizing someone's gender identity when it can be used to hurt them, and that's such a nice succinct way to describe both massive institutional issues (a trans women who is arrested for public indecency when taking off her top and then sent to a men's prison, mandatory military service countries that require both trans women and trans men to serve, a trans man being denied ovarian cancer care because that's "for women") and the smaller scale social interactions of "well since you're a man now I can hit you" and "don't like random dick pics? too bad. welcome to womanhood" and the godawful usage of theyfab
there's also the more subtle, manipulative forms. if someone uses any pronouns and you want to paint them as dangerous and a threat, stick with "he". if you want to make him seem irrational and whiny instead, call her a Karen. if you disagree on transfem issues, he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. if you disagree on transmasc issues, she should mind her own business. you see?
if you have a good gender and a bad gender this will always be an issue. kill gender essentialism alongside bioessentialism

it's crazy that you used to be able to look up specific clips from a tv show on youtube. now regardless of your search terms you get 6 unrelated promo reels from the show's official account, 6 unrelated clips of literally anything else youtube thinks you might click on, 6 unrelated promo reels from the network's official account, 6 more completely arbitrary recommendations, 6 show trailers and publicity videos of the actors by content mills called 'pop glutton' and 'comedy chunk' and finally raw gameplay footage of a mobile freemium slots game and a video essay called Liberals Can't Belive It: 10 Times Hitler Was Shockingly Woke

the eurocentric mind simply cannot fathom the idea that deserts are large carbon sinks, that they are complex ecosystems that host a large amount of life and a life that cannot exist anywhere else. and that is why they think turning deserts green is somehow a good, or feasible idea. a desert is not a wasteland. the dying plants that you plant on top of it because they cannot deal with the heat though? that’s a wasteland!
