The Ken Jennings thing was distilled proof of “I’m your biggest ally until you make me feel bad for the thing I like doing and then I stop listening.” This is so common. People will stand up for a marginalized community UP UNTIL it puts them in an uncomfortable position

i did not know that being trans was a possibility until my late teens. we have informed consent now instead of RLE. we can prevent HIV. mental health treatment has come leaps and bounds. there are a million medical improvements, period

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Yeahhh, folks, this is important. Mute "Perez Hilton" and turn off autoplay.

omg I found the picture ❤️

Feels suboptimal to be using the same word to describe the targeted murder of unarmed citizens / endeavours to stop the targeted murder of unarmed citizens - entering contronym territory

My personal rule is that if a person’s foremost issue with any given community is “division,” what follows is typically a defense of the status quo and a call to concede to its demands.

odd that “don’t talk about women’ bodies!” has turned into “we as a culture must ignore and talk around eating disorders, essentially pretending they don’t exist”. I don’t think it’s anti-feminist to say “heads up, this celebrity is unwell, you shouldn’t aim to look like her”

i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys

I don't think a lot of people understand that when your friend with a marginalized identity gives you a pass to do something, they don't mean publicly, or with strangers, or with people who aren't them, or even with them in front of other people. They mean 1:1, in private, and NEVER ANYWHERE ELSE.

also, I would never call myself an ally sincerely like that. being a human who cares about all other humans is enough. let other people call you positive things, if you earn it.

how long until people start playing games wearing a towel to hide their shame from god the way you do eating orlotan in France

Emily Wilson gets one more piece on The Odyssey and then she needs to move on and let us know what she thinks about Mallrats

strongly urge anyone (cis ppl, cough cough) wondering about all the things rolling around in my head for the last week to watch this. @jessiegender.bsky.social has laid it all out here in a way that is very affirming that im not losing my mind. She hits most of the big points that i lost sleep over

Today is the only day you can experience Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” on the day it is set. Audio: archive.org/details/brad... PDF: thephilosopher.net/bredberi/wp-...

one of my favorite short stories ever written

A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE

something ken clearly doesn't understand is that any time something like this happens to a trans person online we have to fear for our job fear for our life in ways that few want to acknowledge.
