There’s bound to be A ghost at the back of your closet No matter where you live
saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)
Sometimes I feel (I don’t actually THINK that this would be a workable policy solution but I FEEL) that any society which declared an inalienable right to parricide would experience a generational quantum leap in social progress
Are you a "calm woman"? Everything you need to know about the calm woman trend taking the internet by storm
99% of ruminators quit right before they would have had a life-changing epiphany
In either case it’s an oddly undercooked engagement with a thesis I actually think DOES have legs, namely “Gender Dysphoria is an appallingly unrigorous and painfully artificial construct that ultimately undermines effective analysis of subjective experience and communication of material needs”
Bryn@slimewave.me · 2w agoRead the stupid halimede thing that you animals won’t stop talking about. Surprisingly juiceless. Doesn’t hit as hard for me in some register of “bit-character sock-puppeted by a trans woman confirmed” or “Not Remotely a Bit Confirmed” or whatever else people are claiming it reads unambiguously as

I know I’ve seen some people on this website get really harsh about notions like attachment styles, but personally I think the fact that attachment-oriented perspectives are resurfacing into the pop-psych vernacular by way of therapeutic modalities eg EFT is a return of the repressed—
i think this is a great demonstration that in order to properly guard against "autogynephilia" its necessary to eliminate the possibility of a woman subject in the first place
BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do. ME: How are you supposed to do it? MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck. BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.
Maybe lateral moves are exactly what you need to make. Maybe you are a crab this time.
Oh is my ribcage too big for you? I'm so sorry. I'm King Arthur
Love that I can open up bluesky to a post that’s clearly an indirect subpost of some other, unknown post, the identity of which I can’t be sure of because I haven’t been on here enough, but which I can glimpse the contours of in just enough detail to feel vindicated for coming on here less

LINDA McMAHON: I don't think so BASH: But elementary school? McMAHON: I think you can have some introduction of skilled trades in elementary
The billionaire thought [sic] leaders bankrolling fascist reactionaries would like to imagine that LOTR is for their movement what Wagner was for the Nazis. Unfortunately for them, the orchestra will probably be playing “Hedwig’s Theme” when they pass out the cyanide capsules this time
Starfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy Podcast@irhottakes.bsky.social · last mo.Harry Potter is probably the book/series of books with the most disproportionate impact relative to what’s actually in the book itself in history once you take into account the weird computer guys’ love of that Harry Potter fanfic and the anti-trans movements‘ centrality in the global far-right.
The problem with Ted Lasso is that it lives and dies by the desire to be Millenial-affirming nostalgia bait, to such an extent that it’s conceptually like a perverse Jungian shadow to The Office [american] (what if your clueless boss REALLY wanted to be your friend AND EVERYONE LOVED HIM FOR IT?)
I love that they make little bagel-guillotines that allow you to cut bagels while minimizing the risk and liability that a corporation would carry if they let you go wild with a serrated knife. What a beautiful insight into the American mind
I feel like for all the discussion of the popularity of fantasy settings in general (&particular genres eg romantasy) as libidinal-economy market signals influenced by present-day material conditions, one angle I’ve rarely seen is “lol it’s gonna be so ass when the roman empire collapses this time”
Work bathroom had this soap that smelled familiar-ish but I couldn’t place right away—something warm and citrusy. Took me like 48 hr to place it bc it was from way back: orange blossom water in homemade madeleines from like, two times like 20 years ago. Had a literal Madeleine moment, but with soap.
