do publishers realize that advertising books using fanfic tropes spoils the experience of reading an original story. stop telling me it’s enemies to lovers and there was only one bed and unrequited love hurt comfort golden retriever black cat timeloop major character death. why do i give a fuck if i don’t know any of the characters and now plus i already know the entire plot of the story. that’s what ao3 is supposed to be for

don't love how "chaser" just means "attracted to trans women" now like it's not a pattern of targeting vulnerable women to abuse

Me: *looking at a porcelain hand in the home decor aisle of a store* if I lost my hands in some kind of tragic accident, I’d decorate my entire home with hand-shaped things. Then I’d invite guests over for like, dinner parties and such and sit there expectantly just basking in their discomfort.

My boyfriend: Do you hear what you say when you talk? Do you know what you just said to me?

writing tip: don’t tell us your character’s backstory. don’t tell us what your character is thinking. don’t tell us what your character is doing. don’t tell us anything. the reader should simply look at a blank page and be suddenly overcome with emotion.

"trans men/mascs transition out of oppression and towards privilege" is a terf talking point and it will never be progressive.

For no particular reason, this continues to be the most succinct explanation of transmisogyny I have ever seen.

I hate having to post political posts like this nut he we are again. Anybody from the UK wanna sign this. Folks from outside the UK maybe share it?

I sometimes see folks talk about the lack of historical transmasculine narratives and culture in comparison to transfeminine ones, and regardless of validity I just want to say that it’s incredibly cruel to draw the conclusion that it just must’ve been easier for us/less necessary rather than acknowledging that for a lot of human history people AFAB were treated as literal property with very little autonomy. Hell, in the states, people AFAB weren’t even allowed to open bank accounts without permission from their “husband” until 1974. Regardless of how things are now, I think it’s incredibly important to keep in mind how transmasculine bodies and narratives were controlled (and still continue to be) by governmental and societal powers by way of our assigned sex, along with our transness.

Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.

Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?

Me: I am going to eat you

it is my experience that people with dermal implants and eyeball tattoos and 34 visible piercings are the sweetest people you'll ever meet and will cry if they see a pigeon with a broken wing. it is also my experience that clean-cut people in polo shirts with perfect smiles will vote against your rights and say the most disgusting things imaginable once they think you're out of earshot.

… you absolutely cannot support disabled people and support the police at the same time. the police routinely abuse and murder disabled people and are not only exonerated, they are celebrated for it. the police as an institution is antithetical to disabled liberation. there is no version of reality where a police state and disabled safety can coexist.
