important quote from article, intersectionality, black trans men, feel free to boost
"[T]rans men’s relationship to gender cannot be understood by adding the privilege of maleness to the oppression of transness; the interaction between these axes substantively transforms both such that it generates an experience qualitatively different from either alone.
This qualitative difference is particularly salient for Black trans men and transmasculine people, whose experiences at the intersection of race, gender, and trans status are especially ill-captured by a sex-class approach. The assumption that masculinity necessarily means freedom from gender oppression ignores how race/ism is always gendered, and in particular how Black masculine people are gendered as inherently dangerous (and targeted for anti-Black violence on the basis of that “danger”)."
a piping hot take on transmasc support
"we support trans mascs!" really just comes across as "please don't forget we support you too haha" when like. we wouldn't be out here forgetting if non transmasc people actually engaged with us on issues or took accountability for when their behavior hurts as lmao

Incidentally, I never even used eclipse back then. I always used netbeans.
kink, nsfw, mildly macabre, oh gods kat stop
Ya know, a cock is shaped sorta like an oropharyngeal airway, so if you ever want to know what one of those feels like, just have someone deep throat you with the curvature of their cock facing down along the bottom of your mouth
kink, nsfw, mildly macabre, probably worse
Google: maintaining airway patency while shoving my thick cock down my pathetic little sub's throat
context re:kink?, nsfw, mildly macabre? so you don't have to go googling
Airway patency is how open it is. A patent airway is fully open and unobstructed. As you might could guess, shoving a cock down a throat could compromise that.
Important notes on forgiveness
Some more on what forgiveness isn't:
- Leniency. Consequences can still be had.
- Condoning or excusing behaviour. You can forgive someone for that which you condemn.
- Revenge or "letting god handle it". It is not hurting someone who's hurt you. (That's a different thing, that may or may not be justified.)
- "Giving it time". It's an active process.
- A quick fix. It takes time.
- Moving on. That's merely a part of it, not the entirety.
Important notes on forgiveness
Forgive and forget is the most bullshit thing anyone has ever said. Forgive, for sure. But don't forget. To forget is to leave yourself open to the same wrongs you suffered in the first place. Forgive, but learn the lessons that need to be learned. Don't. just. forget.
Important notes on forgiveness
Forgiveness is for you and you alone. No one needs to ask you for it, and it's not something you give anyone. It is you giving up resentment (to which you have a *right*, mind you), and doing what it takes to heal.
It is not reconciliation. You don't have to like those you forgive. It is not just moving on. You still need to heal. And, most importantly, it is not. forgetting. ...
Re: More on Kat and UIL, one last thing (more bragging)
BTW, us furies won honorable mention all-star cast that year. Normally, they don't give awards to ensembles, so, more fun stuff for senior year.
Re: More on Kat and UIL, SPEAKING of improv
Senior year, our theatre teacher asked me and two others who'd been in theatre for a while to demonstrate improv. This wouldn't be worth mentioning except for the fact that *all three of us hate improv*. We proceeded to awkwardly stumble our way through a car buying scene before she finally decided "Okay, nevermind."
Re: More on Kat and UIL
I've wanted to get back into acting for a while now. I dunno. Maybe if one of you needs an actor for something, get in touch. I might be interested (though I can't guarantee being a good fit for any role). Just don't contact me about improv. Three years of theatre and I can't do improv for shit.
Re: More on Kat and UIL, the aforementioned speech
Yeah. Me. An atheist. Talking about "My Saviour. Sweet, Sweet, Jesus". There's just a nice irony to it, isn't there. An irony made better by the fact I've become something of a Satanist in recent years.
Re: More on Kat and UIL, the aforementioned speech
"Do you ever pray, Mary?"
«What do you mean? Of course, I…»
"No, no, no, no. To really, really pray to Almighty God with all of your mind and all of your heart and all of your soul. To pray until His heart and His mind and His soul open out to you until you are riding there. Until you are riding there like crystal. Riding on beams of the purest, whitest, celestial crystal. O Jesus. My Saviour. Sweet, Sweet, Jesus…"
More on Kat and UIL
I played the fury that gives a big speech on praying and Jesus, a fact that me and my sister found rather amusing given my atheism. Unfortunately, no one else knew (small Christian town, remember), so they didn't get to share in the joke. Sad. 2/2
