the thing about this post is that, in my experience, people don't complain about so-called smith college problems (which was always itself an awfully snide coinage) because they don't understand that they're localized problems; they complain about smith college problems because said problems are cropping up like caltrops in a subcultural space to which they belong, and rendering it hostile to them.

and obviously one can come up with examples of this dynamic it's very easy to portray as ridiculous and entitled, like the first two in this reblog: 'support women who shave their legs and wear makeup every day' and 'let's hear it for masculine men.' absurd! but the thing is, it's also very easy to imagine the sort of subcultural toxicity that would produce complaints like that: criticism of compulsory femininity, while hella justified, can very easily tip over into an anti-femininity that's liable to leave a lot of femmes feeling as though they're being sneered at, because, well, they are! similarly, a lot of this website is sufficiently misandrist¹ that it leaves very little room for eg trans men looking to lean into a masculinity that broader society tried to deny them. and then there's this reblog of the smith college problems post, that rolls its eyes at bisexuals who object to other-gender attraction being framed as necessarily straight, and the first reply to the more recent post, that says snidely 'normalize not transitioning,' as if there weren't plenty of queer spaces in which sneering at 'bihets' and 'theyfabs' is a nastily common pastime.

i don't, personally, think it's an accident that all these examples affect groups who exist in a liminal space between hegemonic acceptance and outgroup acceptance, and in practice end up feeling alienated by both types of space. and personally, i think we can and should do better; i think we have to disarm broader societal inequality by working towards actual equality, for everyone, and firmly refusing to indulge this persistent, pernicious urge to revenge that wants, so very badly, to just tilt the social seesaw in the opposite direction…

⸻ ¹ no, misandry does not per se count as oppression. it does, however, combine with other axes of oppression like Blackness, transness, queerness, &c, in complex ways. it's also just tar pit behavior, imo, when indulged in with any serious frequency.

The Good: I've had a sudden burst of energy and used it to mostly finish a Keyhole chapter! It hit 10k words so I'm considering ripping it in half to split the perspectives, which means I might have TWO whole chapters ready to go soon! Canvas is close to being ready too, I just need to get another wind to study a certain character for one single appearance.

The So-so: Shit's crazy irl right now so it's a crapshoot when this'll happen again. The upside is that it'll give me an excuse to set aside the chapters and let them stew so I can come back with fresh eyes/bug a friend to beta it. So no new chapters just yet.

The Bad: My insatiable need for instant gratification is telling me to completely disregard the above, tear that thing in half, and throw the finished part up right now immediately. I am beating it back with a broom and pot lid shield.

Alas i have brain disease of i dont do things i want to do if it takes over 1 step and i am tired. Sincerest apologies.

[bebsibby]

I feel like binge culture and shortform content has absolutely ruined peoples ability to actually enjoy media. I follow all these indie artists with ongoing stories and 80% of their asks are "so what happens in the whole rest of the story"

Wait to find out!!! That's the whole point of a story! Especially one that releases updates intermittently! Fucking sit down and develop patience tiktok baby!

no one puts up with more from me than @emry-stars. I'm sorry you're taking the brunt of my 'i'm not allowed to write mushbrain'

Y'know what? I'd think i'd be pretty funny if Cinder forgot and/or didn't care to lear Jaune's name

EX:

Cinder: Ruby. Weiss. Blake. Yang

Cinder, squinting at Jaune while trying to remember his name: ...Jacob

Cinder: Nora. Ren

Cinder: All of you are gathered here today to witne-

Jaune: My name is Jaune

Cinder: That's what I said, Josh. As I was sayin-

Jaune: My name is JAUNE!

Cinder: Whatever you say John.

Jaune: RRRRAAAGHH

Cinder: Emerald, who was that young hell-fighter?

Emerald: Jaune Arc, ma'am.

Cinder: Arc, eh? I'll remember that name...

"Cinder did not remember that name"

--------------------------------------------------

Cinder: Who is that honor student, Emerald?

Emerald: Jaune Arc, ma'am.

Cinder: Arc, eh? How odd. My research specifically calls him out as an academic failure!

--------------------------------------------------

Cinder: Hm~. Who is that bathroom ballroom dancer, Emerald?

Emerald: Jaune Arc, ma'am. One of the... Pokémon card trainers from Beacon's first year.

Cinder: Well, he's certainly got a foot loose or two~! Perhaps I've found someone who's hotfoot enough to dance with me?

Emerald: Oh, his foot isn't as hot as yours, ma'am. You've never lost a dance competition! Except for that time when you let Mercury win on his dad's birthday. It was very sweet of you, ma'am.

Cinder: Oh, he just looked so sad, Emerald. With his, "Oh... My dad used to hit my feet with a steel pipe like that..."

Emerald: (Giggles)

Cinder: Hm... I wonder if this Jaunem Arcury shares any relation.

Emerald: Unlikely, ma'am. They spell and pronounce their names differently.

Cinder: Bah! Arrange a game and I'll ask her myself!

--------------------------------------------------

Cinder: Excelsior to you, Mr...

Cinder: (Whispering) Emerald, what's the name of this lounge lizard?

Emerald: Jaune Arc, ma'am. One of your Baby-Alives from Beacon's first year.

Cinder: Yes! Arc~!

--------------------------------------------------

Cinder: I'm sure your replacement will be able to handle everything. Who is he, anyways?

Emerald: Uh, Jaune Arc, ma'am. One of your Target Practices from Beacon's first year. All of the recent events of your life revolved around him in some way.

Cinder: Arc, eh?

--------------------------------------------------

ATTENTION! FIRST YEAR PROBLEM ON TEAM JNPR!

Cinder: Team JNPR?! Good god, who's the team leader there?!

Emerald: (Typing into scroll) Uh, Jaune Arc, ma'am.

Cinder: Arc, eh? Good man? Intelligent?

Emerald: Uh, actually, ma'am, he was enrolled on a dare by Professor Ozpin.

Cinder: Oh, well, thank you very much, Salem!

--------------------------------------------------

Jaune: You know what I think of this exam?! (Rips) This! (Rips) And this! (Wipes butt) And some of this!

Cinder: Who is that champion of injustice, Emerald?

Emerald: That's Jaune Arc, ma'am.

Cinder: Arc, eh? New man?

Emerald: (Chuckles) Actually, ma'am, he thwarted your campaign for Fall Maiden. You shot his partner. He saved Beacon from falling. His teammate, Nora, painted you in the nude.

Cinder: Hm... Are you sure? I think I'd remember all that.

--------------------------------------------------

Emerald: Oh, god, he's being dropped into the Deathstalker nest!

Cinder: The fuck's a Deathstalker?

Jaune Dummy: (Perforated repeatedly, Scrapped into a heap)

Cinder: ...Emerald. Who was that corpse?

Emerald: Jaune Arc, ma'am. (Sniffles) One of the finest, bravest first year ever to bless at Beacon Academy~! (Sobs)

--------------------------------------------------

Jaune: (Walking down the hall, Hallucinating)

Cinder: Emerald, who is that idiot?.

Cinder: Emerald, who is that doofus?.

Cinder: Who is that fashion disaster?.

Cinder: Who is that deadweight?.

Cinder: Mushbrain!.

Cinder: Dorkus Maximus!.

Cinder: Dirtstain!.

Cinder: Goofball!.

Cinder: Sextant-deficiency!.

Jaune: STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!

Cinder: LOOK OUT!.

Jaune: Huh? (Falls off cliff) AAAAAAAAAAA

--------------------------------------------------

Jaune: (Chuckles)

Cinder: (Opens office door, Sees graffiti)

I AM JAUNE ARC

Cinder: ...And who in Salem's name are you?

Jaune: RRRGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Jaune: (Shakes Cinder) JAUNE ARC! JAUNE! ARC! JAUNEARC! JAUNE ARC! MY NAME IS JAUNE ARC!

Jaune: (Pulled off, Dragged away) Oh, you're dead, Cinder. You're dead! YOU'RE DEAD, CINDER!

--------------------------------------------------

Cinder: I've decided to start carrying my weapon closely after I was assaulted last night by an unknown assailant.

Jaune: (Distant) DAMMIT!

What do you think of Trump’s candidates for the various posts and departments?

By and large incompetent buffoons who are going to cause lasting damage to their institutions by purging competent employees to promote loyalist mushbrains in their place. I'm most concerned about Hegseth, Gabbard, Patel, etc. because I think they're going to damage national security.

The Last to Learn About Joe Biden’s Decline

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun.  Katy Perry didn’t drive the spaceship.  And someone just broke into a car parked in San Francisco.  I am the first person to excavate these news items.  Journalism apparently merely takes announcing what everyone knows.

Breaking news about the same is the headline from the event that highlights the field’s lowlights.  The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shows how life is about choices: you can either be irked the preposterous celebration of sanctimony that plagues Twitter one Saturday per year or be glad for free material to mock on what’s usually an off night.

I’m not saying journalists have poor news judgment.  But they spent their Christmas focusing on their most glaring failure.  Forget honesty: they can’t even prioritize stories for self-preservation.  

Everyone is aware President Joe Biden couldn’t remember what he had for lunch except for him.  Don’t ask for nuclear codes unless you want to get 30 lives in Contra.  The worst part of a typically dreadful evening for self-aggrandizement by the most undeserved arrogant people featured pretending that they were the victims of not relaying the most evident details.

Nobody should feel pride for serving as this group’s spokesperson.  The fact someone does summarizes the idle occupation.  Axios flunky Alex Thompson has emerged as a particularly obnoxious media practitioner even by the group’s regrettable standards.  Congratulating himself for missing the most indisputable cognitive meltdown of our time is how he claims to have won the circle jerk.

Journalists didn’t notice Biden had turned to Grampy Mushbrain.  You can’t blame them: they just spent their waking hours monitoring someone clearly impaired before dreaming about him.  The best excuse for missing Biden’s unmissable atrophying is that they thought he was a dolt beforehand.  But then they should’ve addressed that.  Of course, acknowledging what really happened might have helped Donald Trump, and the media’s purpose is to prevent their sworn enemy from prospering.

Biden slid faster than Hot Wheels on his jump track.  The only thing that plummeted faster was trust in media.  The inability of the president to fasten his own Velcro would’ve been helpful to know during his term.  And we did in fact know.  It still would have been nice to get confirmation from alleged official guardians of proper narratives.  Astounding ignorance uncannily came into vogue when it came to examining the same president they hoped would win.  Mafia members aren’t as committed to omertà.

The editorial phalanx would rather put the country at risk than do their jobs.  Harmed citizens are supposed to congratulate them for their dedication.  Self-styled truth gatherers think employment revolves around in shielding a Democrat from criticism.  They act like Secret Service agents who protect from mean observations.  Biden’s closest advisors were his action figures, which didn’t alarm his most zealous defenders.  They were the same ones tasked with scrutinizing him.  He swore G.I. Joe talked back.

It’s okay to be honest after the statute of limitations expires.  Secret-keepers blabbed the embodiment of an obvious occurrence after it could no longer harm the president who happened to be a Democrat.  The tale’s twist revealed something telling, all right.

Laypeople auditing the media debate whether the subjects were either concealing embarrassing anecdotes about Biden as an act of willful partisan protection or are the least astute humans who ever lived.  Those who got the account wrong can decide which makes them more qualified to be reporters.

The easiest comparison to show journalistic negligence involves asking how they’d treat a Republican, especially the current most prominent one.  Questions about Trump’s mental acuity might be deserved.  But they’re hard to take seriously with fibbing for his predecessor’s sake in mind.  Media twerps couldn’t even be fair to both sides out of calculated precedent.

We can tell how detached quasi-practitioners are from reality by how risibly bad they are at classifying their event.  Nerd Prom is a fittingly inaccurate nickname for an industry based on delusion.  For one, members aren’t tormented in the way school geniuses are by sadistically jealous lunkheads who happened to be born in the same year and live in the identical ZIP code.

More importantly, nerds are useful.  They can perform math and make websites work.  There are certainly none in journalism.  Those who think knowing small bits of Ezra Klein’s delusional schemes makes them nerdy deserve wedgies from socially awkward people who can perform calculus.

Democratic operatives posing as truth detectives think they’ve earned a self-congratulatory evening to flaunt about how they feel about themselves for the rest of the year.  Believing such shows how unqualified they are to assess the world.  The WHCD is the Oscars without the chance of learning about a movie where Mikey Madison misplaces her blouse.  Potential consumers can get entertainment elsewhere without a lecture about how Trump embodies the worst of Germany from someone just handed a trophy.  The same goes for news.

Everyone’s a newsperson.  It’s not praise.  Noting what happens is a job so easy that mildly bright people can do it in their spare time.  The difference is amateurs characterize what actually happens.

Journalism takes noticing things.  The worst thing about the easiest trade is how many messianic twits can’t do it.  Disregarding that Biden’s skull was full of oatmeal while he served as head of state took dedication to obliviousness.

Twitter users who’ve never sullied their bios with pronouns are infinitely better at it than professionals.  They get no fancy meal for describing events precisely.  Unlike phonies who treated themselves to dinner and a show, astute people who use social media to document presidential imbecility don’t need affirmation.  Besides, you might get stuck at a table with Martha Raddatz.  Attendees covered Biden’s decay if dragging a tarp over the story counts.
