When you learn your friend or family member is trans, don't think "X is now Y."
Think "Y is Y." Forget X.

Don't mourn X.
X isn't dead. X doesn't exist. X is a lie. Y is the truth.

If you slip up and say X too much, you're still thinking "X is now Y."
Cut it out. Y is Y.

My gf just got a copy of this TTRPG that she backed called Thirsty Sword Lesbians and there's some STUNNING art in there. Just wow.

please don’t at me about mcluhan & “the medium is the message.” i know. i think the study of mediums as a whole is interesting. and that’s not what i’m talking about here. i’m talking about sensationalist demonizing takes like “television is rotting your mind!” and “the internet is ruining your life!”

i have such a huge problem with people who try to rail at the medium of a message rather than the content.

the content is usually at the heart of their complaints, and you can find harmful and junky content in any medium

don’t demonize the messenger of the garbage, demonize the garbage. you know? it feels like they’re misaiming.

There isn't much American culture outside of genocide, slavery, capitalist theft, appropriation of BIPOC culture, McDonald's and for-profit needless war.

Just had a coworker ask me about the he/him pronouns in my email signature. She was really excited that putting pronouns in your sigfile is something you can do! She has a gender-neutral name and is frequently misgendered.

but also i'm glad that i have that experience to draw from so i can power slide into a conversation where a friend is being self-deprecating like THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG, MY GOOD BITCH
