This need to move away from placing blame on identities is the driving force behind a theory im trying to develop (that i wont go into too much here cause like, this is probably gonna be my senior thesis) where language shifts from Identity Defined Oppression to Ideology Defined Oppression. Basically, shifting language of oppression away from an interaction of identities and towards systemic and ideological interactions. Cause like, trans people are not oppressed because theyre trans, theyre oppressed because of transphobia. And transphobia is not the oppression of trans people by cis people, it is the systemic devaluation of non-normative gender performance. Basically, yeah! Identities are not synonymous with ideologies.

[also sorry if this is hard to understand im used to writing about this in academic language. feel free to ask me to explain things more cause im deep into this shit rn]

genuine question: why is it so hard for people to shift their language from "i hate cishets" to "i hate queerphobes".

same amount of syllables. and then you don't have to sit there and go "well DUH we don't mean 'all' cishets we don't mean the GOOD ones." like you don't have to add an asterisk, here. just say what you mean. like forreal, just... say what you. mean. if you have to CLARIFY that you don't mean a certain part of that group then why are you saying it to begin with? why are you over complicating it and skirting around it like you're scared of making your own point?

are you really that attached to the conflict between queerphobic cishet people and queers that you have to reinforce it from your own side? are you really that attached to needing to hate something that you take it out on people who haven't hurt you. i've been hurt by many, many women- would you excuse me for saying i hate all women because of that? of course not. women can also be abusive, but that doesn't give me the right to hate womanhood.

it is so easy to shift the verbiage and have it actually mean what you say. unless you truly do mean that you hate the concept of cis heterosexuality, then i don't know what to tell you, but we don't do that here in the queer community. we don't hate people for their gender and sexuality. this is not the place for you if you want to shit on people for their identities.

i keep seeing people talking about "antis" and "proshippers" and having zero frame of reference for what each group is. honestly, i think my life might be better for it.

exactly this. christmas is largely about family and consumerism, neither of which are things i enjoy. i feel horrible receiving gifts that i dont want, giving gifts that i dont mean, and spending time with people who have hurt me over and over again. i hate that growing up means growing away from the joy of the holiday

Can't lie I have a hard time with Christmas now that I'm older. Beyond the whole 'having to be home with my abusive mother and dysfunctional family' thing, a large part is the horrifying consumerism of it all. Like it feels more like a capitalist celebration than anything festive now

Books of 2024: ALWAYS NORTH by Vicki Jarrett.

To me, the scariest place on our entire planet is the Arctic, partially because the scariest thing on our entire planet are polar bears, which have been stalking my nightmares since middle school. So, of course, when I saw a fucked-up polar bear on the cover of a weird and fucked up maybe mystery maybe thriller definitely apocalyptic sci-fi adjacent book that takes place in the Arctic, I thought, "Oh yeah I should definitely start reading that at nighttime IMMEDIATELY while winter still nibbles on the edges of the weather, this is foolproof."

Reader: I am the Fool™.

I'm 80 pages in, and so far we've got weird inexplicable shit going on that we're trying to ignore, and we've been warned about bears SO Many Times All Over The Place (yikes), and we're now being stalked by a polar bear who has a History with the captain (borderline Moby Dick but make it a vicious land-capable predator), and time is fake because it's Always Daylight and we are doing Science on a Boat but make it Evil Capitalism also, and there's some neat textual framework going on with chapter headers, and I'm excited to see where this all goes!!
