they're just not used to it, imo. most people won't push through something unfamiliar.

People will be like "I cannot read novels in present tense" and I am scared to ask why that is bad. They are obviously upset about it and I don't want to offend them further

I remember when I was a messy, repressed drunk at age 25. I got rightly kicked out of my house as a result, and did I accept the consequences of my actions? No! I wracked my brain for any spin that would absolve me of wrongdoing. Anyway that's what reading 'Hot Allostatic Load' reminded me of.

THE RENTAL isn't breaking any molds, but it's a nice, mean little thriller about the acquisitive, paranoid, impersonal ugliness of yuppies mirrored by the faceless unaccountability of institutions like AirBnB

Dan Stevens has been making movies like he's stashing cash under his mattress. What does he know.

Enough. I'm turning the car around.

It's hard to convey how dead-on this essay is unless you watch a metric fuckton of television. But if you do, oh baby, reading this is like putting on the glasses from They Live.

LARRY : Is that — is that the Shards of Narsil? JEFF : Wow! LARRY: Narsil! That's the uh, the blade that cut the Ring from Sauron's hand. Ah, you know what I bet? Shards are still sharp. JEFF: Still sharp? No. No way. ARAGORN: Is this for my benefit?

Really touched to see people with BPD vibing with Mal in CUCKOO, who also has it, and calling it a good portrayal. It's something that means a lot to me. My partner of twelve years has it, and seeing what they've been put through by medical professionals and culture at large has stuck with me.

Wish I could find the post I made about how I feel allegiance with the dolls because so frequently when people need someone to yell at they choose either a doll or a black woman because that’s still how I feel and still true

Begging cis libs to make their transphobic colleagues please shut up. I can't stand living through the federal institutionalization of transphobia with these third-string losers Just Asking Questions and Proposing Reasonable Compromises the whole time.

Next time you see someone quote Audre Lorde's 'master's tools' at you, ask them 2 questions: 1. Can you please define what YOU think the master's tools are currently? 2. What else does she say in that essay?

"trans women are new to oppression" thanks for your input

Trans women in New Jersey prisons say they are routinely isolated for all but one or two hours a day, despite a landmark 2019 reform to reduce solitary confinement in the state. boltsmag.org/new-jersey-t...

New Jersey Prisons Isolate Trans Women Even After Reforms to Reduce Solitary Confinementboltsmag.org The treatment of trans women inside New Jersey prisons highlights the limits of a landmark law the state passed in 2019.

(snapping suspenders) now i may be just a simple country pundit, but it seems to me that if the New York Times sometimes says trans people are good, that means the paper's well-documented role in laundering consent for trans eliminationism isn't real.

Watching useless liberal dummies like this jackass just fully abandon any pretense of sympathy for trans people is really nauseating

I reviewed 'Regent', tonight's subdued and dreamily Gothic episode of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON. Even when it confines itself to setting up chess pieces, this show has the juice. www.patreon.com/posts/108145...
