i think what's lost in taxonomization for taxonomization sake rather than communicative sake is that it forgets or omits how sexuality is the social dimension of gender(ed desires), and is kind of inextricable from the concept of subcultures or scenes

You ever think about how an important concept in logic (syllogisms) sounds like "silly jism" if you say it too fast?

Don't we call it a scam when you have to pay for exposure?? Or are they trying to frame it as you being on the podcast is advertising?? PLEASE DO NOT PAY RACIST TRANSMISOGYNISTS TO BE ON THEIR PODCAST!!!

It’s like nobody involved in the creation of this article knows what words mean.

Our media is covering up a Holocaust. Thanks to the brave journalists in Gaza, whom Israel is murdering (along with their families) the world could SEE that at least 500,000 were killed many months ago. We have been watching this livestreamed. And our corrupt media is facilitating these horrors.

Suddenly really hitting me how gross and revolting the watering down of the term "sapphic" is. Taking something that is meant to celebrate love between women and turning it into meaningless box checking, focusing on men. My culture is not a costume!!

But on good reads? On Amazon? There's no real way to do that. I highly recommend just tagging your material as bisexual unless the content heavily focuses or centers sapphic (as in, women and nonbinary people loving women and nonbinary people) interactions and story lines.

And to be clear yes bisexual and other queer women can be and are sapphic. But just because sapphic can mean bisexual doesn't mean suddenly you can sell m/f as "sapphic" and not expect pushback. This is a content discrepency. On a fanfic site you can tag very precisely what *you* mean by "sapphic".

The distinction between "this work *contains* x identity" and "this work *centers* x content" seems to be a pretty intense wedge and I think a lot of this has to do with how poorly metadata/marketing operate within publishing institutions and technologies and how easy it is to exploit that

This is why it's important to keep reminding the military that the UCMJ DOES give them the right to refuse unlawful orders. Like they can literally tell Trump to go fuck himself.

And also because they're like, completely unprincipled people who haven't actually taken the time to dialectically assess themselves and their own work. Why the fuck should I trust "LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE" when they can't even talk about their own material circumstances honestly?

When I first left the States, I was underdosing myself on estrogen for like four months on accident and also not eating enough (cause of ARFID) and so I lost some volume in my tits. I am happy to say that my boobs appear to be back to normal.

So far, these cis white ladies have been 1) accusing a POC they don't like of racefaking 2) just absolutely screaming and ranting in their discord about multiple trans women they've ejected who actually didn't do or say anything Make 'sapphic spaces' all-white all-TME again I guess?

The Ku Klux Karens are now accusing me of faking my race lmao. Wonder why they felt they had to do this hmm.

the champions of inclusivity have now, uh, ejected trans women bsky.app/profile/tali...

The response to the criticism is to make the "sapphic" bundle with het slop lodged in-between a het slop bundle with some sapphic lodged in-between Wow. So sapphic!

Natalie Contrapoints was especially bad at this. A wealthy white woman putting on Off-Broadway productions for Youtube being called a Luminary and a Sage Vanguard of the Revolution. At the time however, she was an inassailable bulwark of the Breadtube Coalition. Funny how everyone flipped on that

Their conceit regarding their own racism and queerphobia directly caused their failure, in my opinion. You have no idea how bad it was in 2018! These Breadtubers were the Rockstars of Left Twitter, and people hung on their every word.

Yes! And if you were around in 2018, people on Left Twitter used to talk, very seriously, about how Breadtube was going to Save us from Donald Trump and Fascism.

The end of an era. May it rest in power.

"An attorney for a building trades union told me that a witness in a wage theft case in another state was recently targeted and deported by ICE. The union believes the employer encouraged ICE to target the worker, in a bid to undercut the wage theft case. " prospect.org/labor/2025-1...

do liberal Brits think Britain invented hospitality

This man profited off the trans community but he's privileged so he doesn't have to bother with us trans people anymore. So glad that Indya Moore is speaking out. www.out.com/media/indya-...

Frankly, if you can't sell your M/F normally and have to resort to tricking lesbian readers then maybe you're just not cut out for this 🤷‍♀️

If you want to sell M/F relationships, don't try to con lesbians into buying it. If you want to read M/F relationships or stories that feature and develop men don't ask lesbians for it. It's not that hard, it's not that complicated, but still people have to try to pull this shit.

Relationships between women are mocked, trivialized, stigmatized, infantilized, and treated as fetish material for men. Demanding that works labeled 'sapphic' actually center romance and sex between women is not 'exclusionary', is not 'bigoted', and it certainly isn't fucking 'transphobic'. Shut UP.

I'm fed up of people who act like lesbians aren't a marginalized demographic. Our art isn't systemically excluded from most publishing avenues. If even the indie space tries to exploit this by throwing M/F romance into 'omg so sapphic' bundles, they don't get to hide behind 'queer'. Fuck off.

Yes yesterday

I love rain, and I hate more than I really have the words to articulate how much my chronic migraines line up with when it rains.

Can we get this trending?

Hey, those of you telling us we're stupid for "wanting" a civil war should be paying attention, because we were NEVER saying we WANTED one. We were saying we were IN one, and that there's no avoiding it.

I love getting cuddles from Circe. She's the most aloof baby as a rule, but when she wants your attention, she'll climb right onto your chest. I was singing while sitting at my computer desk, and she decided that meant she needed to crawl up me, and we got some quality cuddle time in.

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

The border must go. We cannot do this to people over lines on a map. We CANNOT Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

There was never going to be a deal that considered the rights of Palestinians. The plan was always to present something that liberal zionists and the media can defend with "better than death", written in the most humiliating and insulting manner in the hopes that Hamas will turn it down.

I was really proud of myself for going back to Satisfactory and finishing up a factory I'd put off to play Silksong for a bit, and when I was 95% of the way done, I realized I had skipped the smelting floor of my factory entirely and just sent straight ore to constructors so I get to start that over

autism moms be like "what's YOUR autistic superpower!!!!" breaking down into tears because plans got cancelled last minute every day for the past 4-5 days and you feel like you're physically aching from it.

I need white women to learn how to make enemies of each other again fr. Hate each other like y'all hate marginalized women! COME ON!

The real litmus test for America was always going to be reparations for the Black descendants of formerly-enslaved Africans, as well as reparations to Africa for the trafficked population and resources that allowed America to build itself to begin with. But no one wants to address that. Ever.

I’m getting more movement, which is super appreciated! Please help me close the gap!

I'd be disappointed if you didn't?
