The ska posting has really...................picked up

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.

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.

Article on how techno has been whitewashed:

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.”

Like...they'll keep badgering you about reconciling or some shit, even tho they've been telling you all along the abuser won't change.

Once you try to get away, they'll be telling you the abuser will change.

Abuse apologists will be like, "Welp, that's just the way it is! Can't change them," then get really upset with you when you agree, and decide to walk away from the abuser rather than engaging with them.

People at Microsoft call Bill Gates "Bill G", like there are any other guys named Bill you might mistake him for, when they talk about the multibillionaire who used to be their boss, and who would yell things at them, and looked like a living sock puppet.

Also: the queer erasure that goes on in both sides' of the Atlantic's rewriting of music history. Definitely sucks.

On the other hand...fuck the British?

The thing about British people insisting they created punk is, they're stealing blatantly from largely white New York artists, so it's KIND OF ok.
