A person I know decided to push really hard for “no hitting the kids, at all”, and his wife agreed, although she’d been raised with Some Hitting and thought it was normal. And then she discovered that her child wasn’t afraid of her at all, and she could pull a hand back and the child would just giggle because that wasn’t a threat, and she suddenly realized that actually it had fucked her up so deeply that she couldn’t even see it.

Anyway, good job parenting.

Some people don’t realize just how much parental abuse affects someone. Even decades later, children or not. There’s so much psychological damage and emotional damage that is so hard to undo because you were hit and yelled at when you needed love and compassion. Fuck child abusers and good on those who break that pattern.

Being a trans man is so scary to me and I don’t know why. Trans men are so cool and kind but idk it just feels a bit off for me, in terms of being called that. I don’t know if it’s just me or if this is widely experienced it’s just. Scary. Being masc is so nice it sounds so nice but just that specific term is intimidating

pardon me if i sidetract this, but a lot of antitransmasculinity manifests this way.

when i was younger, i REALLY didn’t want to be a trans man. i could be a demigirl, i could be nonbinary, i could be genderfluid, but the idea of being a trans man made me feel so afraid. i didn’t know why at the time, but looking back i saw being genderqueer as the safer option, because yeah i was a man but i thought it would be easier for my parents if i wasn’t binary, if i didn’t want medical transition, it was the safest way for me to be trans without “actually being trans.”

after a while, it was too hard to deny, so i came out as a trans man. from my own parents, my friends who were cis women, even some of the community, saw this as a betrayal, like i was someone who they could no longer be safe around. my parents thought my masculinity was born out of self hatred.

of course, you might just be transmasc and not a trans man. that’s also fine.

but we do have a lot of weird ideas of what it means to be a man in progressive spaces, and it feels very. bad. especially if it feels like you’re ‘choosing’ manhood. and a lot of the repulsion around manhood and even sometimes masculinity comes from internalized transphobia, and that is an option you should explore.

@genderkoolaid for your archive

Or just go to browse and hang out! I promise it will be inspiring :)

It’s also a lot easier to do research in a library; sure, it’s one thing to have internet access, but it’s another to have wifi access to databases and books on the topic an approximate two minute walk away.

full offence but it should be illegal to use flashing or strobing images in adverts like straight up if a company has paid to force strobing shit in front of people then they have paid to directly hurt and potentially kill disabled people and whatever company they paid was fine with it. go to fucking jail and rot there.

SAY THAT!!! the amount of artists that use strobing effects is ridiculous, same goes for theatre shows and musicals. you need to say that shit up front and loudly or even better DONT INCLUDE STROBES AT ALL.

multiple times i’ve gone to see something that’s allegedly seizure safe with a photosensitive person and ended up having to tell them when it’s safe for them to continue watching the show they paid to see, its fucking horrible.

I have epilepsy, and one bad seizure can kill me. My husband has had to resuscitate me TWICE.

When Riverdance was doing their final tour, I saved money for MONTHS to see them live. I checked everywhere I could to find out if they use strobe lights, and found nothing. Yay! It's safe! Got my ticket and waited. Day of, I went to the theater and...there's a piece of printer paper with 16 pt font on the door stating their are strobe lights.

I had paid for the ticket months prior. The theater refused to give me refund and suggest I just cover my eyes. So I took my seat, and asked the woman next to me if she would mind letting me know when the strobe lights stopped. It was winter, so I used my coat to periodically cover my eyes, and this woman let me know when it was safe.

Why tf did they need strobe lights? Why wasn't there any warnings? If no sign had been posted, I wouldn't have been prepared! I could have DIED!!!

I haven't been to a movie theater in years. I saw the second Hunger Games film in theaters and had a seizure. Prior to that, the third Harry Potter film...and had a seizure.

Streaming new releases during lockdown was the only time I didn't have to blacklist films. No need to avoid spoilers. All the lights on, subtitles on, ability to take frequent breaks. Fucking amazing.

The first Spiderverse film required I be in a separate room for the last half hour or so because it was all strobe lights. I can't watch animated stuff in general because they tend to get really flashy, especially new stuff.

I can't stream most TV shows because of the dangerous ads. I can't watch YouTube anywhere but my PC because I have to use an ad blocker. No music videos because they all seem to be using strobes now.

There need to be laws requiring this shit be limited, that warnings be put up for at least 30 seconds before any music video, show, etc if they have flashy effects, and ads cannot have strobes or flashy fuckery.

i am actually so fucking sick and tired of the tiktok/twitterification of websites. i am so sick of everything needing to be compressed or squeaky clean or "modernized". i am so fucking sick of every website that had a unique, creative spin or twist, violently throwing any sort of identifiers or creative minds they once had in favor of becoming another twitter. in favor of becoming another tiktok. modernization needs to fucking die.

the internet died when flash died. the internet died when corporations began to sink their teeth into every nook and cranny, sucking out any and all life from them and turning them into husks of their former selves. the internet died when everything had to become sleek, spotless, when everything had to stick to a status quo, when everything had to become rounded and strictly black or white.

modernization needs to fucking die.

among us is the latest joke to enter what i call "joke orbit." it was one of few modern memes that gathered enough force to remain alive throughout the period where everyone fucking hated it for being overdone. and now it's back to being funny, simply by virtue of its refusal to die. it is a self-propogated meme now. like a satellite stabilizing in the outer edges of the planet's atmosphere, among us has established itself in our collective subconscious. it's probably never going to fully die, like how our perception of the shrek movies will never really go back to normal and how we look so fondly on rickrolling

no fuckingf way

whats cool about being trans is my parents are totally right. i did kill their beautiful son. im the thing that animates his corpse in an ever more convincing parody of a happy girl. i devoured him from the inside out and now there is nothing left of him and he is dead dead dead and there is only me, with my hollow eyes and dark eyeliner and long hair, and my big smile. my limp, effeminate gestures belie the marionetting of the boy they loved. my fagginess is his death. already his body becomes a fitter home for my parasitism in full; the tits, the hips, the thighs. sorry about your kid. thanks for the biomass <3

google popped up a "try our new AI experiment!" on the search results but it only has a "turn on" option, not a "NO" option or a "never show me this again" so I fixed it for them

The thing is that I don't want to be employed but I also don't want to be unemployed. I actually want our entire economic system to explode but that's not really a feasible option right now
