My friend claimed he could play Flight of the Bumblebee and accompany himself. Then he did this.

(cw: sexual assault) the pedophile -as it is understood outside of academic circles- is a mythical creature. the idea that a complete stranger who kidnaps and sexually assaults kids is their biggest threat is absolutely insane; not one case of CSA (child sexual assault) in a hundred looks like that. CSA is committed almost uniformly by adults in a preestablished position of authority (such as family, family friends, clergy, or teachers) and in a way that a victim who doesn't know what sexual assault looks like will be left unsure what happened to them. without knowing concretely how sex and sexuality works, would you be able to tell the difference between molestation and the various other forms of unwanted physical touch and abuse kids are regularly subjected to? would it even seem that different? but parenthood and the submission of youth to adults as institutions are threatened by the reality of CSA. adults need to justify their ownership of children through an imagined outside threat constantly held at bay through their diligence. the truth - that putting yourself in such a position of authority over children directly enables abuse (including sexual abuse) - is thrown aside.

I watched one of those "every trans person has done X!" videos, I usually don't because I hate those types of videos, but my friend sent it to me and wanted to compare how many we'd both done so I did

It was the usual stuff, until the middle of the video. They just started saying things like "had a them/thems phase 🤣", "used to be a cringe Tumblr genders teenager 💔🥀", "used neopronouns unironically 💀", "thought that afab demigirls and amab demiboys were valid 😭", "insisted that non-binary was their actual gender and not a phase, before coming out as trans 🫠"

And like I don't know what non-binary people did to that person, but they had such a grudge against us, you'd think that we personally caused everything that's going wrong in their life.

So I told my friend I didn't finish the video because of that, and she replied "oh yeah, I forgot you were still in your xenogenders and neopronouns phase, you know that they aren't actual genders and pronouns right? You don't think you're literally a dog? I've seen that a lot of y'all were delusional to the point of thinking they're dogs"

I've been out to her for five years. She is also no longer my friend.

this is exorsexism.

you CANNOT read too much old timey fiction because I was playing Raft with the lads this morning and without a THOUGHT said we could sail over to another island "if the wind would consent to blow" & let me tell you. This did not pass by unremarked.

I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.
