Is it a crime to die, alone and sublime?

the machine and the divine are the same kind of erotic because they're the same kind of perfection. btw

the machine and the divine should kiss i think

God's inability and unwillingness to answer our prayers 🤝 a printer's inability and unwillingness to print our documents

Why is gormlessly a word and gormfully isn't. Gormfully organizing my books. Gormfully packing my suitcase. Gormfully sitting with my little leggies crossed.

if you want me to consume a new media you MUST catch me at the exact moment when the stars are aligned and the air pressure is equal to the current degree of the sun’s peak against the horizon and all the cosmic energies are perfectly unified (aka my old interest is fading out) or i will nod and say “im adding that to my list!” Knowing theres no chance i will check it out

“unless its a book!” “unless you tell me it has gay people in it!” “this but only for live action shows” “theres a good chance i’ll get to it eventually” no wrong this post is not for you this post is ONLY for bitches who could have a treasured friend recommend them something that sounds grown in a lab to be your personal catnip and, with no choice in the matter, immediately know it will never be the right time to watch/read/listen to it

USAmericans: This pride month, talk to the queer people who actually live in all those bad evil icky red states and find out what it's actually like, how we actually feel about it, and who here is actively fighting against it. No more telling us to "just leave" or reducing us to innocent victims who are "trapped" here. There are so many of us and we live here for so many reasons, none of which should be justified. We are resilient, we are powerful, and we are fighting against the fascist laws working to eradicate us or scare us away. Being trans in a red state right now is in and of itself an act of resistance. That being said, pay attention to the brave souls on the front lines, pushing against the laws, making good trouble, and refusing to be silenced.

I won't let myself be talked about like I'm stupid to live here.

I won't let myself be talked about like I'm a helpless victim who's trapped here.

If you can't join the fight by standing beside us, then the least you can do is empower us, amplify our voices, and pay more attention to the ones who are FIGHTING AGAINST THESE LAWS than you are to the chucklefucks trying to pass them.

People who are anti-kink at pride, I beg of you to read academic journals discussing the queer beauty of intercommunication, trust and growth through BDSM practices. How the passing of knowledge is queered from patriarchal, heirarchal, heternormative ways to an egalitarian and non-gendered manner that inherently gives agency to those in the minority. Kink when done right is QUEER: Saying "Fuck white cishets trying to harm and colonize my body, I LIKE pain and will experience it on my own terms." Or "Fuck white cishets trying to harm and colonize my body, I will use that pain to nurture, educate, and help others take agency where the government and society has tried to take it away from us." Most importantly it says "Fuck anyone who tries to shame and hide us." Queer liberation was also part of the wider feminist sexual liberation movement which brought access to birth control, sex education, and abortion.

Look up Keiran Sellars "I've been Intimate with Him as I Have been with Anybody."

Look up Robyn Henderson-Espinoza's "Decolonial Erotics: Power Bottoms, Topping from Bottom Space, and the Emergence of Queer Sexual Theology."

I'm having none of the puritanical propoganda bs.

TLDR: Kink=queer as it subverts societal power dynamics and norms in favor of an egalitarian one that gives power to all participants through consent and boundaries.

angry that metrocard is being phased out for these fucking tap and pay mobile phone bullshit and if you want a physical card it's like a fucking gift card you gotta buy in the store or apparently vending machines eventually. i think we should all band together and maim the MTA with our bare hands.

"well women are good and men are bad but trans people are oppressed so we've made you an honorary member of the good guys" you idiot. you fucking dolt.

"all men are bad except trans men and nonbinary people" I am hitting you with my transgender bite attack

"oh I'm a trans ally"

then fucking stop reinforcing the gender binary, including your precious "man hater" persona you slapped "cis" in front of when trans people became politically incorrect to target

personally i think "hes like a woman to me" and "he can come to girls night" are incredibly fun and funny and i frequently talk about characters i like in that way but some of you use that as a complete and total subsitute for ever having to care about or think about women and it shows

like theres just no self awareness about it too youll pick violent misogynists and douchebro characters and sex pests or youll talk about his "woman traits" and only ever include "hes kind of stupid and bad at stuff and pathetic and cries and is depressed and weak and womanly" or you'll "babygirl" him in ways that are completely transmisogynistic and youll act like youre gods gift to fans and check "have a female fav" off your diversity quota without ever having to think about a female character or even consider why you find making forcefem jokes about your boytoy more appealing than finding a single kind thing to say about a female character other than "ooh mommy step on me" or token lesbian jokes

european comics: Well there’s these two guys who have been friends for 20 years, one of them writes the scripts and the other makes the art.

american comics: The publisher wants us to crank out a new chapter every month so we have one dude who writes it, another one plans the page layout and sketches, a third person inks the page and fourth one colours it, and the fifth one is on the payroll just to fight the publisher about the requested edits and corrections.
