i was looking at beds for eifiehaus last week and the store I wanted to pick had free shipping to nearby places but cost an extra $200 or so to ship to eifiehaus city. I checked back today randomly and saw that there was now new text saying "we have just expanded our shipping range to [place], [other place], and [eifiehaus city]"... fortuitous

relatedly like over a year ago I showed my friend a post that was like"y'all have gotta stop dunking on ~the allos~ it's really not helping anyone" to be like "hrrrgh... I really do not like this post." and then several months later I said something to the same friend about how dunking on ~the allos~ is really not helping anyone and was like "yes ik ik a while ago I said I didn't like that post well I changed my mind" and my friend was like "how dare you grow as a person and change your opinion in response to new information" and I was like "damn."

I have been thinking so much lately about how binaries like straight relationships vs gay relationships or cis vs trans or aspec vs allo or even white vs non-white are all just complete bullshit actually and feeding into them with your activism really does not help anybody.

like at least at this point lots of people in my circles know the men vs non-men stuff is trash and mostly just repackaged radfem rhetoric right. honestly all of these are in some way. they're just used to perpetuate new forms of exclusionism and new forms of normativity.

"ew straight relationships" and sentiments like "lol I forgot women can date men" aren't progressive or cool. it's putting down tons of queer people who are in straight relationships or relationships that appear straight. bi people, trans people, genderfluid people, aspec people, multigender people, lots more. "oh but I don't mean *those* queer people!" well people don't have to explain or prove their identities to you. it's none of your business. your activism *has* to include straight people because other people's identities are none of your business and you *cannot* know what the identities of the people involved are unless they choose to share it with you and they have no obligation to. forever expanding the scope of "cis het allo perisex etc. etc. etc." on and on and on will always be limiting.

"lol I forgot not all men have x body part associated with afab people" isn't progressive or cool. it's excluding trans people who choose to have certain kinds of gender-affirming surgery, for one. I imagine it also excludes some intersex conditions.

making jokes about strangers being eggs because they appear male-presenting and like flowery deodorant scents isn't progressive or cool. it is literally gender essentialism. it doesn't become cool to shove people into boxes just because you think they're now the "right" boxes.

I know I've done this a lot but I don't think talking about things "the allos" do in those terms is useful or helpful either. I mean even in all the posts I make about them I end up putting in footnotes like "so many aspecs do this shit too". so literally what is the point. it's really not helpful to be putting down allo experiences on the basis of people being allo when the a spectrums are so varied that every allo experience can also be an aspec experience.

and even white vs non-white is not a simple binary, as I've learned from some of my mutuals. mixed people exist. talking about whether someone is "[non-white] enough" just harms people and is just more exclusionism.

idk man subscribing to the notion that all these things are binaries seems immensely unhelpful to what we are supposed to be actually trying to accomplish which is letting people just be themselves and do whatever they want and label themselves however they want forever (I understand this is more complicated when it comes to race). so what if that also helps "the straights". focus on lifting people up and not on putting putting people down. otherwise we're just going in the same circles over and over while pretending we're doing it sooooo progressively this time.

thanks everyone I have decided to probably ignore the poll results and pick n lol

chat should I buy octopath 1 to play on my train trip to and from eifiehaus since it's 50% off even though I don't really know if I want to play octopath 1 and I have several other games I could play

sorry I have not posted anything for ages 😭 having to go to bed at 9 pm every day does not leave much time or energy for drawing. here is a selection of daily meow meows from my sketchbook to make up for it

"there's no platonic explanation for this", but this time there's not a romantic one either, or a sexual one, or even an alterous one, you know what? not all things need an explanation, sometimes people just feel
