The Mountain Goats & John Vanderslice - Satori in Denver

[spice-ghouls]

I've been on a Moon Colony Bloodbath kick for the last few weeks, and I don't know why Satori in Denver never really stuck out to me when first I heard this album years ago, but it's quickly becoming one of my favorite Goats songs. Really really good.

Still thinking about this. I think the only skillset I lack that I would need to make this happen is learning to make music for a soundtrack. Time to teach myself how to use jummbox.

I want to make a visual novel game so bad.

obviously it is cynically deployed as a cudgel against trans women and so is primarily a transmisogynistic sentiment but it is in fact also on its face hugely transphobic in general when people say shit like "trans men don't have male privilege because nobody sees them as men", like. do you not see how that is just straightforwardly transphobic towards the trans men you are talking about lol

we talk a lot about ohhhh what if my calling is to be the greatest mammoth hunter ever and I'm wasting my talents in the modern era but we never think about what if Thog from 30,000 BCE was the only person ever born who could get a sub-7min Donkey Kong Country any%, and he never got the chance. what about thog

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

unfortunate that the united states has been very successful at controlling narratives around word war 2 and positioning itself as the polar opposite of nazism and the main force fighting fascism when america was complicit in the holocaust. not only did american press report positively about hitler and the nazi party up until the end of the 30′s, some publications cooperated with nazi germany, american companies had investments and connections to nazi germany that they maintained until american involvement in the war, and companies like ibm in particular gave nazis the technology necessary to make the holocaust possible in the first place. some company owners themselves had nazi sympathies like henry ford and others just saw it as a business opportunity. the us denied entry to european jewish refugees and deported jewish refugees back to germany, many senators and other government officials during the 1930s openly supported nazism and worked to prevent the us from taking a side in ww2, and during the 30s large pro nazi rallies were held across the us. american eugenics movement, american race laws and american genocide set the model for the holocaust and there shouldnt be any discussion of nazism and the holocaust without also discussing the extent of american complicity in it. 

anyways heres some material on it

Hey, I'm a queer black enby who desperately needs to get an abortion, but literally can't due to my state's (idaho's) restrictive bullshit abortion laws. I'm mentally ill and have a part time remote job, but can't hold more hours. my roommate/friend is a trans person with a full time remote job, so fortunately we can stay employed out of state. but with mounting bills and the soaring cost of living we need some extra help with being able to move to oregon.

i'm setting my goal to $500 for gas, motel, and food, but literally any bit helps. thank you guys. paypal (pls ignore the deadname): paypal.me/jennycarsons cash app: $aboriginalsoull 0/500

I'm excited about the surgeon I'm going with, too! She's newer, but I've seen pictures of her results online and they look really good, she leaves very even and good-looking scarring. Hopefully just a few more hurdles to get through before I get to schedule surgery.

This appointment went well, by the way. I have one more appointment with this guy next week and then he's writing me my letter to get a consult with the surgeon.

Sitting in my car waiting to go in for my appointment with the social worker who's hopefully going to write me my second letter that I need to get a top surgery consult. Bored as hell because I'm here over an hour early
