don't worry if you think your analysis of a work is completely ridiculous or off the mark or out there. it's better to read an interesting interpretation of a work that one hasn't considered before rather than just a shallow engagement with it!

I really miss when I had to do weird, obscure, arcane things to get my PC to do something cool or useful, but then the power was mine. Now i have to modify my computer to prevent it from starting forest fires by publishing heresies in my mothers' name, weekly, because an incel remote installed it.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Online trans culture is getting so much more pessimistic and it's starting to actually affect me. Fatalism about transition not doing anything and resignation about being third-sexed is so common now. As is talking about lesbians as though they're distinct from and antagonistic to trans women.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here with my cis lesbian wife and cis lesbian best friends and cis queer women in my circles and community, having weathered the closet by hanging out with queer women who supported me through those difficult times and gave me hope, wondering how to address all this.

Because I know what happened. I know why trans people are more anxious and are pre-emptively giving up on solidarity. The global backlash to feminist politics and queer existence and the resurgent wave of nationalism and isolationism is taking its toll on us all. But also, fucking hell, stop.

And every time I try to talk about solidarity or optimism or try to tell people there's hope amidst the suffering, I'm called some variant of lucky or assimilationist like I don't have fucking neopronouns as a brown enby tranny lesbian and like I didn't suffer in the closet for years too.

I genuinely think that large swathes of my community have made accepting defeat and conceding the argument to cissexist bigots large parts of their identity and ideology, and I'm incredibly unnerved and disappointed by it.

its you fuckers fault i cant find a job that pays me a comfortable amount. i dont even care if i suffer the worst effects, i will cackle as the bubble pops and destroys the american economy with it

Quite the metaphor

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

Lemme tell ya, getting and losing access to hormones on an 8 month cycle is some real horseshit. Ive been transitioning a decade.

Excuse me

1. Cars in general are a sin, every vehicle should go up 1 license level requirement, and speeding should be a more significant punishment than a citation. I suppose its not very niche, but I feel very potently on the subject.

I dont know a ton about romantacy, but im glad all of those homestuck erpers went ahead and published. Good on you, getting past the jitters.

im transsexual when im being political im transgender when im being funny anyone get it

Transition of power goals.

brb, sublimating the whole "trans lesbians are predatory" thing into a kink

Switch voice : Im pretty sure im the only top on the planet. I mean, Ive never been topped, so, hahah, probably mythological. I am the legendary Only Top On Earth. Haha unless

I really like the way Dragon Age o-i were functionally visual novels stapled to the popular rpg de jour, but I wish they t99k it one step further. Please give me Dragon Age Kart. Gimme Dragon Age Puzzle Fighters. XCOM would have been a better model for play than Skyrim for inquisition.

Fuck this site.

Lowkey think we need more tautology. Some of yall need to understand bad things are bad.

YEAH…!

kind of getting hard to be positive sometimes when like, everyone is cool with the early stages of genocide on multiple groups in the United States, ngl. Kind of a bummer to be in several groups.

"Decentralized"

I dont really know where i belong.

Kill all Nazis. It's such an easy thing to say! KILL ALL NAZIS.

u can rly tell when the biggest problem someone's ever had in their life is getting called names online

I hate this fuckin website.

I have deep misgivings about philanthropy. It feels like it's a means for the exorbitantly rich to launder their reputations through grand performative gestures of "benevolence" all the while skirting taxation and accountability every other day. It's like love-bombing, but on a grander scale.

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

Opt-out clauses are theft. Unless Altman wants to call people up one by one to ask permission, its theft.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Its hard to get through all of this. But the part that makes me feel insane is the well meaning old folk who think if we can be nice the right way, itll go back to 1993 when history was solved, or, people my age, irony poisoned by 20 years of twitter, putting Curb Your Enthusiasm over reich marvhes.

on destroying the internet

It's also distressed me to see the ostensible trans community or even just the trans fem community on here split and block as often as I have when so many of us are desperate just to keep housed, to get fed, to get medical care. And what were we doing that over? Who you're allowed to fuck?

Decent christians still exist, I just sorta wish they werent all collosal cowards who refuse to acknowledge how far into abject evil their faith is routinely spun, or who would rather keep the peace with their wife'n'child raping pro slaver pro genocide kin. Bunch of spineless chickenshit losers.

can confirm

Who at youtube can we class action sue for taking ICE ads?
