the striders have ruined blond men for me. i’ll be looking at a classical oil painting from fuckin 1508 with this one blond dude in the background and i’ll be like oh op must have been into homestuck
I saw this at a gallery at WCU a month or two ago and like……. you know…..
everybody just latched onto “terf = enemy” and then never again put any thought into why that is, and what transmisogyny is, so they just make a big deal out of being an anti-terf instead of understanding the problem in the first place
Some stuff to know:
TERF – Trans Excluding/Erasing Radical Feminist:
Someone who believes that trans women are not women and don’t belong in women’s spaces. They believe that trans women are predatory cis men pretending to be women in order to have sex with lesbians.
SWERF – Sex Worker Excluding/Erasing Radical Feminist:
Someone who believes that sex workers (those who make money from pornography or prostitution) are not feminist / not valuable / should not be welcome in feminist / women’s spaces. They believe that women participating in pornography or prostitution are upholding patriarchy and damaging the feminist movement.
Truscum aka transmedicalists:
Someone who believes that you must experience body dysphoria in order to be trans. They also tend to be attached to the gender binary and erase or exclude anyone who does not conform to a male / female gender identity (genderfluid, non-binary, agender, bi-gender, etc)
Ace exclusionists:
Someone who believes that ace-spectrum people are not inherently LGBTQ+ and do not belong in LGBTQ+ spaces. They see ace people as secretly cis/straight invaders and leeches to LGBTQ+ programs and resources. They also tend to believe that the definition of LGBTQ+ centres around those who experience discrimination for same-sex attraction, and therefore ace folk do not belong.
Trans women are women. Non-medical trnas people are trans. Ace people are LGBTQIA+.
the idea that bruce wayne’s ideal method of learning is to just find whoever is best at the thing and latch onto them for a while is so underutilized, though. i want to see more of, like. bruce wayne fucking off to join the rodeo, so he can learn the best ways to not fall off things and also hogtie other things. bruce wayne moving to hawaii to master surfing because the thought of not knowing how to surf in some kind of surfing emergency caused him a sudden panic. bruce wayne in the alps learning how to yodel. living with the amish to learn how to make a really good dresser. in the andes learning how to weave. going to florida to wrestle alligators and meth addicts and meth-addicted alligators. when will you ever need to know this, he remembers people asking, as he faces down killer croc with nothing but a net he had to make himself using a machete and a spare sheep.
who The fuck names meds “Zoloft” sounds like some dark wizard cursing me for not wiping my feet before I enter his house and “sertraline” is his snakewife
Xanax the White
I saw a quiz on the internet once where there was a list of names and you had to guess whether it was a Tolkien elf or a prescription medicine.

i cannot BELIEVE people remember my dumb pesterlog oh my god.

“online” is a constant race to the bottom of the barrel, desperately scraping and digging further down in an eternal contest to create things utterly worthless and devoid of meaning. in a world that desperately wants us to be obsessed with material wealth and intellectual properties, we delight in covering ourselves in dirt and garbage.
“deep fried memes” are an example of this. as corporations became aware of online spaces and tried to integrate themselves in to internet culture, internet culture responded by destroying everything that represented itself. we now value things that have been ruined beyond recognition.
we now adore jpeg compression, improper grammar, and comic sans not because these things are aesthetically pleasing or meaningful, but because they’re ugly and worthless. they’re broken and dirty and and improper devoid of meaning. all of the flaws inherent to the digital medium coming together to create the ultimate representation of “online.”
we don’t like these things for any reason other than the fact that they’re incomprehensible to people that don’t already “get it.” except there’s nothing to “get.” the joke is that there is no joke, the joke is that it’s incomprehensible and there’s nothing to get. that’s why we laugh at shit like “hey ?️eter” or pictures of old sofas or “cursed images” like grainy photographs of vases full of spaghetti. because they’re utterly worthless and meaningless and stupid and they’ll exist forever. that’s what “online” is. eternally preserved worthless garbage.
