Everyone stay cool and hydrated today, and if you're reading this drink water.

And if you're out in the sun and start feeling Drunk, get cooled off and hydrated Right Then and There.

Falling over in the grass is embarrassing.

re: hot queer take 

@IrisKalmia I was saying that from My perspective, any mass media that's inclusive of queerness or any sort of diversity feels phony for the same reasons that the IT Crowd and BBT do, and that there is no Good representation.

Sorta like the US government.

@perfectblue@snouts.online As a multiple system, that's kinda an everyday thing now.

re: hot queer take 

@IrisKalmia It's almost like I have a really dim view of mainstream media or something.

re: hot queer take 

@clipclopboom@snouts.online Which edge of the sword is the Good edge?

hot queer take 

I'm not sure if I even Want representation.

I've avoided it my whole life because it's never in a positive light when presented by an outsider.
And when it's presented by someone who is involved with that subtype, it's always over the top, the story is centered around it, and it's the most important thing in the universe.

I used to be really alienated from queerness because it seemed like the expectation was that you had to be Out as hard as possible.
And I didn't even know what I was, let alone how to be Out as that thing.

Representation in media is a double edged sword. Sometimes you get The I.T. Crowd, sometimes you get The Big Bang Theory.

Drugs, autism 

@clipclopboom@snouts.online if you're already bugging out from your brain chemistry, and hallucinating sober, drugs are just kinda interesting.

@clipclopboom@snouts.online it's strange getting the same kinda sentiment from two people who are emailing each other.

Drugs, autism 

I suspect when normals are dealing with an acid trip freakout or getting too stoned on weed, they're just bumping up against an overstimulated state for the first time.

Because drugs aren't Shit compared to a full autistic breakdown. Three tabs of acid was nothing in terms of Freak Out compared to an unexpected phone call from the government over nothing.

The toughest part about genderfluid presentation is getting across the days Feel with an aesthetic.

Today it's a vintage TMNT tee-shirt with an innuendo on it and a working kilt covered in bearing grease stains.

social justice terminology, pollution metaphor (violence mention) 

Watched the Renegade Cut video on toxic masculinity and anti-hierarchism earlier - youtube.com/watch?v=E_O7w5W7rZ - and while I was mulling it over I came up with a metaphor:

The "toxic" in "toxic masculinity" is like the "leaded" in "leaded gasoline". Something was added to the system to produce a profitable effect for those in power, and that thing is poison, and we need to change what we do so we can get rid of it.

(In the case of leaded gasoline, that was "sell more powerful/economical cars that depend on its anti-knock properties" and in the case of toxic masculinity, that was "maintain a hierarchy full of people willing to do the violence necessary to perpetuate it", but in both cases, the profits go to the powerful.)

Still dunno how to get across a non binary identity to normie guys.

I think they just see me as gay???

Like, okay sorta. More complicated than that.

Weird dream last night 

@blackcorvo subconscious stuff can be like that

Weird dream last night 

@blackcorvo being pansexual in a long-standing metaphor for the struggles of the gay community

@Lunostophiles@snouts.online congrats! Good luck!

@clipclopboom@snouts.online there's your new display name.

That feel when you realize that most people never have to meet their subconscious self.

@budgiebin@snouts.online They'd be one of the Lords of Summer.

re: HRT, lewd, kink??????
