What “Gender Critical” should mean:

Examining compulsory gender presentation including expectations for physical looks and behavior

Being critically aware of the way many children’s toys are gendered from birth, including deep separation down toy isles and coding girl items as pink and boy items as blue

Recognizing that much of children’s play items with gender coding also include harmful stereotypes such as toys for girls including domestic labor and child rearing, while toys for boys include violence and military themes

Examining the ways in which neurodiversity affects gender interpretation and presentation, and the way some disabled people are unable to perform gender to an acceptable societal standard

Debunking the myths of rape culture and promoting an environment of informed consent between equal partners rather than a society of men as sexual predators and women as prey

Promoting gender non-conforming and nonbinary identities as alternatives to the strict gender binary, as well as expanding upon what masculine and feminine identities can include

What “Gender Critical” actually means:

I like to go around harassing trans people

People on Twitter trying to smear Lindsay Ellis with deliberate disregard for contexts is just…

Ther's a knockoff channel called HackFraudMedia that does their own Plinkett reviews as a mouthpiece for generic fanboy gripes and now the actual Plinkett reviews have just become...that

My favorite self-fulfilling prophecy is the one where Red Letter Media became a full-on embodiment of everything they always hated.

You need to make a Mance Rayder cover album.

Jon I - A Storm of Swords

In which we meet Mance Rayder

I hear the wolves echoing tonight

But Jon hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

They’re in the tent, wearing black tonight

The raven wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

Jon stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies

He turned to me as if to say, “Hurry boy, the others are coming for you!”

It’s gonna take a lot to take me away from you

There’s nothing that a hundred mammoths or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Winterfell

Gonna take some time to do the things we never haddddddd

nobody is gonna convince me nymeria uniting all the wolves in the riverlands into one single pack under her command isn’t foreshadowing for arya doing the same with the men tbh - the brotherhood, the houses loyal to the starks/tullys and the smallfolk alike. this entire region is a chaotic mess with a destructive zombie in the center of it all but they need to join forces and become organized before the white walkers tear down the wall. arya is the one who’s gonna do it. she has so much history here. shes fought and bled and cried. we’ve already seen her deliver mercy and justice to soldiers all over the riverlands. she saved an innocent baby and protected her friends. she’s been a hostage at the hands of monsters but she’s going to rise to power and save this entire region when she gives her mother mercy. then she’s going to become the new stark leader just like her brother. she’ll even have his crown. but more importantly she’ll have her fathers words: the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. this is what arya’s meant to do.

Even if you don’t like Halloween you have to appreciate its position as the sole thing keeping Christmas from advancing even earlier into the year like a cancerous growth

I used to work at a bookstore Slavoj Žižek would shop at and we used to play a game, “is that Žižek?,” in which we’d point out other old dudes who looked like him because Slavoj looks like the stereotypical older man who comes to a bookstore.

At first I thought this was referring to a dance move

bold of you to assume that wizards live in a world that makes sense all the time

Wouldja look at the time!

It seems as though next Thursday (30 August) will be my last day on Tumblr, at least in 2018. If anybody has any questions or sketch requests or wants to keep in touch (I have WhatsApp for those of you outside the US) or whatever, let me know!
