Idk it's just such a peculiar worldview, it's like a crystallization of thinking about things purely in terms of whether they are legal, and/or make money and/or spread a particular message. And it's applied so broadly that a Kick me sign taped to someone's back is equivalent to an abstract mural

Wikipedia has a category called "Graffiti and unauthorized signage", which strikes me as very funny, because it presents a POV that 1. the most salient feature of street art is that it is not authorized and 2. it all amounts to signage, like an awning on a deli

It just seems very...stick up the ass...about it.

If you draw bubble letters in a notepad, it's art, but if you take that image and paint it on a brick wall it becomes (harumpf) an unauthorized sign.

Sometimes I think about how "Roadrunner" by the Modern Lovers is just the "Sister Ray" riff gone pop. The song exists because Jonathan Richman, a teen from Boston, decided he was going to visit NYC and hang out with the Velvet Underground. And somehow he did?

corollary: the canon of stuff we read in queer/trans studies about transness is overwhelmingly white and doesn't have great racial politics; decolonizing and de-whitening our field is absolutely essential

a lot of trans scholarship from 2015 forward actually whips ass and if a course doesn't want to cite anything recent regarding transness then they're almost certainly fucking up big time

“white feminism did not change the gendered distribution of labor, it merely outsourced it to black women. Paraphrasing this claim, I argue that when gays and lesbians adopted a gender normative model of homosexuality, they outsourced the deviance status to gender variant individuals” (Katri, 2017) damning tbh

anti-discrimination law w/r/t transness as it's currently pursued threatens to outsource "deviance" once more, to non-passing trans folks, or trans folks without stable employment, or trans PoC, or to GNC people who don't ID as trans, or to non-binary people, or to trans people who can't or don't want to medically transition in one or more ways

you should probably setup something to autoban anyone who adds a link to aajgo[.]ru in their profile -- it's a spam website that's currently targeting mastodon

meta? not really a subtoot, but an earnest fyi 

You can upload an avi before you start following people. You can toot before you start following people. This isnt twitter where if you're not following and followed you're completely isolated. The moment you create an account you're already in a posting community.

White guys think it's a controversial opinion to say they don't like Beyonce or Whitney Houston. Super weird how they go straight for calling black women overrated, huh?
