I am fucking exhausted of cis men being held to zero standards, and I am also fucking exhausted of the same happening to white feminism.

The bar is in hell and media still can't muster the energy to clear it.
What I think is even more upsetting is the way a lot of people walk away thinking Glinda is anything other than The Absolute Worst. And of course, the movie absolutely gives Glinda too much credit by suggesting her choices to betray her friend are painful for her.

Glinda Is Bad, Actually.
It is very funny to watch the first Wicked movie with some very heterosexual people and realize that they see ZERO queerness.

And by funny I mean sad.

It is Black Friday, but it is also Fund Me Friday.

In honor of Link, who remains unjustly banned, I am carrying on the tradition of Fund Me Friday. Drop your mutual aid links beneath this post and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Sometimes, the best way to deal with family visits is to treat it as an anthropological study.

"Oooh, I see, so this behavior of seeking form over comfort is rooted in religious ideas their ancestors possessed around the holiness of work and the aspersion of comfort as the path to evil."

"Seek out different viewpoints" on an issue doesn't mean you need to go read hateful takes. It should mean, for instance, making sure that your only perspectives on trans issues aren't coming from rich white trans women in the United States.

If any time I've educated you has been of value pls consider paying me or anyone in the replies for labor. You're asking us to rest in places of trauma for your edification. It's time that work was recognized as WORK.

Natives reply with your pay links.

And doctors are still paid as the result of daily LABOR.

They're WORKERS.

They're rich. But they're not The Rich.

This is not a high hurdle to get over, but I see people fall over it every day.

If you're equating doctors with Elon Musk, you are 100% not ready to be having these conversations.
doctor who makes 200K annual is VERY comfortable. That’s not wealth hoarding though lol

It’s Facebook and Amazon paying no taxes for the last decade, its being allowed to take out loans on unrealized gains in the hundreds of millions, capital gains tax lower than the tax rate of ppl who make 55k

Play the kind of D&D game where you end up having to explain to your cis, straight therapist what a disaster lesbian is.

Also: you can go to the library and request a book if they don't already have it. I've done it! They'll almost always buy the book. The author gets paid, and you didn't have to pay anything if you really don't have the money. There's no justification for stealing an artists' work.
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

I think "class traitors" is up there with "idea landlords" on the reality disconnect scale.

Try explaining "Old Wive's Tale" to a very literal teen.

As much as dudes have to learn how to create community and relationships with each other, white women have to do the same. The patriarchy teaches us to be sensitive to criticism, in competition with each other, and inclined to score-keeping. We have to unpack that to be good community members.

I don't even have to touch the meat to run to the sink and wash my hands, if I'm anywhere in the vicinity and think I might have touched meat, I wash-wash-wash. Same for every single tool or utensil that gets in the vicinity.

I might have ADHD, but about this thing I am meticulous as hell.
There are two types of people in the world. People who obsessively wash their hands after touching meat before touching anything else—

and people’s whose house I won’t eat at.

"Let trans women be messy!"

"Yeah, I agree. If I can be vulnerable for a second—"

"WHOA! We meant like hypersexual and mean to strangers!" *Unfollow, block, ostracize*

I hope Ziwe has another drag queen lined up soon so she can celebrate her incredible work in the Kevin Hart interview.

Sorry, did I say interview, I meant evisceration.

The universe also said, “how would you like to spend two hours at an AT&T store where the problem will get worse, so that you then have no choice but to go to the Apple Store and hope that they don’t decide you need a whole new phone.”
I asked the universe if it could please put some slack in the line, and the universe responded, “how does a dead SIM card sound?”

We're flying not walking
On featherless wings
We can hold on to love
Like invisible strings

There's not a word yet
For old friends who've just met
Part heaven, part space
Or have I found my place

You can just visit
But I plan to stay
I'm going to go back there
Someday
