it's interesting to me how sex workers are not considered an important part of pride history & the lgbt+ community unless the sex worker aspect of their identity is completely erased, and at the same time, every single pride, i see posts go around reminding people that leather daddies & ungendered kinksters should be credited and celebrated for protecting & cultivating pride as we knew it before it became the sanitized corporate holiday that it is today.

marsha p. johnson was a sex worker. sylvia rivera was a sex worker. brenda howard (who organized the first pride parade) was a sex worker. why can we only address the sanitization of pride when it comes to men's sex lives? why can't we talk about how working class women in the sex trade are continually ostracized from & caricatured by the community we helped create?

I actually really like the thing when you're starting to get the hang of a new language, enough to understand and say simple sentences but you gotta get creative to get more complex thoughts across, like a puzzle. I remember a time in the restortation school when a classmate who wasn't natively finnish and did her best anyway dropped something and sighed, telling me "every day is monday this week. I have had four mondays this week." And I understood.

I don't think I speak much of spanish anymore, but in the nursing school training period I did there, I did manage to get by with making weird Tarzan sentences. I got a nosebleed at some point and startled another nurse. Not knowing the words "humidity" or "stress", I managed to string together: "This is ok. It is hot, it is cold, I have a bad day, I am sad, I have blood. This is normal for me." And she understood.

And sometimes you just say things weird, but it's better than not saying it. One time, I was stuck in a narrow hallway behind someone walking really slowly with a walker, and he apologised for being in the way. I was not in any hurry, but didn't know the spanish word for "hurry", but I did know enough words to try to circumvent it by borrowing the english "I have all the time in the world."

The man burst into one of those cackling old man laughters that they do when something in this world still manages to surprise them. He had to be somewhere between 70 and a 100 years old, and I guess if there was one thing he wasn't expecting to hear today, it would be a random blond vaguely baltic-looking fuck casually announce that he is the sole owner and keeper of the very concept of time.

I mean, if we really wanted comic book movies to be faithful to the source material, rather than spending $100 million on one movie, what you’d do is give $20 million each to five different directors, release all five resulting movies in theatres at the same time, and make sure that each movie’s plot refers to the events of all the other movies’ plots in such a way that whichever of the five movies you watch first will be entirely incomprehensible and every possible viewing order is wrong.

Types of knights, historically:

Incredibly violent well-armed vagabond who kills people for money/political favors

member of the landed elite who does the same and also just to maintain/extend their personal fortune

Did something to get in the monarch's good books and got a big special pat on the head for it.

Like I do very much get the appeal of the whole aesthetic but 'knight=champion of the subaltern/defender of the community' makes me wanna go set some heraldic crests on fire.
