Medium recc'ing me terfs, supposedly based on my reading history.

Like I want to hear from some Australian academic that thinks terf is a slur.

I'm not sure that Americans appreciate just how pathological and toxic it is to require people to unconditionally love their nation.

"People in the wrong body
I was broken like a heart
Drive a highway through you
Like a rainbow arc
It’s all over there
Oh, somewhere
It’s gonna be, cheap maybe free"

Every day I wake up and think about how many transphobic and homophobic movies and TV shows were being put out there during the first 20 years of the AIDS pandemic.

Hey, in "Carrie", the gym teacher is a major character? Don't gym teachers usually do health classes? And teach kids about puberty?

😍 I fell completely in love with a podcast today: strongsongspodcast.com/ It's an accessible, technical breakdown of songs that goes into chord progressions, vocal techniques, instrument usage, etc. I've wanted something like this forever.

It's not a podcast that discusses cultural aspects of songs or production, though, so while Toto's "Africa" episode is very, very good, there's only one passing remark about the lyrics of the song. I can get that elsewhere, so that's okay with me, but YMMV.

I've gotten attached to a lot of messy cis people who cause problems for no reason. Then I'm the crazy one because I have normal human reactions to the situations they create. If I try to walk away, I'm being difficult. Cis people are an absolute trip.

I had a cishet ex call me that.

He wound up marrying the next one he dated, having a kid, and divorcing them before he hit twenty three.

Not to gloat, but I'm at least not fucked up as all that drama.

white nonsense, homophobia 

It's kinda funny how Europeans pat themselves on the back for not being as racist as Americans, while stealing and whitewashing black American artists.

"European or gay" has become a homophobic joke because they regularly wipe away the queer artists they steal from, too.

As Chicago house producer Derrick Carter lamented last month: “Something that started as a gay black/Latino club music is now sold, shuffled, and packaged as having very little to do with either.”
