the reason why you can't define gay as "man loving man", or define lesbian as "woman loving woman", or define trans as "person who has dysphoria and identifies as the 'opposite' gender " is because all queer identities defy being defined in a reductive, singular statement. the entire point of these identities are that they cannot fit inside the rigid boxes of what gender, sexuality & expression "should" be according to our societies.

people with these identities will always break the rules. we will always blur the lines and exist outside of the boundaries you set around us. you can't try to force us into boxes and hard definitions all over again, we intrinsically defy them no matter what.

While it might look like an abstract painting, it's actually the surface pattern off a cedar tree trunk washed up onto the beach. I found it to be a fascinating mix of shading, energy and flow. I can see people, fish, the flow of rivers - the record of a whole life story just waiting to be discovered and retold.

"No one wants to see art of ocs" If I dont see art of peoples ocs at least once a day I DIE. Do you want that to happen? Do you want me to DIE? Draw your ocs.

There'll be a post like, "ableism is bad" and all the comments will be "yeah! Ableists are all sociopaths and narcissists!" "Ableists all live in their moms basements and don't contribute anything to society!"

im not gonna go on a whole rant but a lot of twitter discourse boils down to people over-simplifying nuanced issues, and i think part of that is due to people simply not understanding what makes those issues... issues in the first place. like there's so much tired discourse around age gaps that people even apply it to grown adults who met As Adults (like a 25 year old and someone in their 30s or 40s). people know that age gaps can be used to predate on and take advantage of the younger partners, but the concept gets generalized to "all age gaps are bad" which is why 18 year olds think theyre p*dos for dating someone whos 16 or 17. there's no recognition of what actually makes some age gap relationships harmful, so the general public (on twitter) lacks the ability to discern when an age gap relationship might actually be Okay, even if it's not something they'd personally engage in. and this is something that happens with sooo much of the petty discourse on twitter, it's maddening being on there sometimes

edit to add: and it's always to the point that the discourse is almost completely disconnected from reality. that's the part that gets me. when it feels like twitter users literally just forget what real life is like

unfortunately a lot of the corny self help advice turns out to be true but the thing is you have to come to those conclusions yourself otherwise it just sounds dismissive and dumb
