i like to think that my permanent eye bags and general worn-down look give me a certain cuteness

Yknow, I admit it! I have a lot of unfeminine qualities! I'm loud, rude, brash and messy. I hate makeup. I think horror is boring, and gorey action is awesome! And I'm not submissive in the slightest! But I feel like I have to downplay those qualities because I'm trans!

I have a pretty rough personality! But I'm a girl about it, yknow. Whatever

"Why is ContraPoints saying [advocating for Palestine] is totally futile? Because ContraPoints doesn't want to do anything about it... She feels that the only reasonable way to live is to accept that things are bad and not going to change. Even though that is actually unreasonable. Even though it is actually also morally quite bankrupt. You are the one who is experiencing doom. That is the thing that you feel. That does not mean other people are supporting a doomed cause. It means that you feel doom about their cause. Examine why you might feel that way. They thought Vietnam was a doomed cause, too. Cuban revolution was a doomed cause. Chinese revolution was a doomed cause... "Zero Palestinian lives were saved"... I don't think this is true. For instance, think about the vast amount of fundraising campaigns that have tangibly helped, even as aid is blockaded in Israel, that has tangibly helped Palestinians. They have gained support as a result of this activism. So saying "zero Palestinian lives were saved" again, this is not true. This is not true. But second of all, even if it was true, you're going to blame people for speaking out against things that are actually wrong because it wasn't effective enough instead of just like offering better ways to do it? Does something have to be done or not? Does something have to be done or not?"

there’s a sort of poetry to donald trump refusing to release the epstein files potentially being what finally undoes him. he built his political career on feeding conspiracy theories. he made his own oc conspiracy theories. now a conspiracy theory, that he fed, that he promised to deliver on if re-elected, actually has legs. and he’s inextricably in the middle of it. he could have just not fed it and not promised to do anything. but epstein played too well into his existing q-anon au. he couldn’t help himself. even though he knew there are scores of photos of them together. he knew he was on the record about their close friendship and joshing about how epstein likes girls on the young side. but he just couldn’t help himself. and now he’s turned on his base for the first time. and they’re turning on him. nothing has ever stuck before and only time will tell if his teflon is finally scratching. but it’s kind of poetic.

kids deserve so much more respect and it turns out that saying that is a great way to locate the horrible people in any community <3

A lot of your low level, standard transphobia stems from the belief that males and females are fundamentally separate species. That’s why you get so many attack helicopter jokes; the difference between men and women might as well be the difference between men and helicopters.

the morbius jokes got stale fast but sony misunderstanding them and rereleasing the movie only to cause it to lose even more money was an all timer moment. we couldnt recreate that situation if we tried

crazy how 99.5% of the time an ‘alienated parent’ begins speaking and you’re immediately like “ohhhhhhh! I see why your children don’t talk to you and your ex has given up on prodding them to maintain a relationship!”

pls when you see butchness and transmasculinity conflated, esp for community spaces or events, take 5 seconds to think about how that probably makes transfem butches feel 😐

are we far enough out of the 2010s that I can say that a lot of what was getting framed as intentional queerbaiting in the big Tumblr Popular shows was definitely just writers making homophobic jokes bc they thought the idea of a character being gay was funny rather than any attempted implication that a character might be gay

i really like this thing where websites will have separate "log in" & "sign up" buttons and if you click "log in" it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click "i already have an account" and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose "username & password" it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says "do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?

Hm. Interesting. Apparently cortisol production depletes magnesium stores. And I have a lot of symptomatic overlap with magnesium deficiency. And it can apparently help migraine. And ADHD. I think I'm going to try supplementing magnesium glycinate. L-threonate sounds really interesting too as that's magnesium that can cross the blood-brain barrier and apparently is super useful for memory and shit.
