I can never forgive my second ex for taking me to see Clone Wars. I wake up at night and think about sand
It's not that I hate Star Wars, it's that I hate being forced to watch movies and I especially hate hearing about my partner getting into online arguments where they "own" a "n00b" who doesn't even know who Raygun Spielbergus is or some bullshit
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The best part of not dating a Star Wars fan is not having to watch Stars Wars
My body isn't designed for procreation. My body isn't designed to do anything. My body is just a bizarre collection of carbon and oxygen that can walk around and think.

I started listening to an audio recording of Moby-Dick, as read by an old style radio DJ, and it's actually fantastic. Melville's lengthy sentences and weird digressions are a perfect fit for the rhythmns of free form radio.

imagining the kind of person who deeply believes there are only two genders but instead of genders it's that cats and dogs are the only 4-legged mammals

The dilemmas of being straight and cis in 1960s America (or arguably early 2000s America before skinny jeans took off)

So a lot of people like TV and sports. A lot of people actually like conforming to their assigned gender. A lot of people want kids. A lot of people are straights. A lot of people are right-leaning-moderates. MUCH fewer people are actually gender conforming and straight and right-leaning-moderates who want kids and like TV and sports?
But this 25% is so is made out to seem like 98% of everyone, and it feels worse when you're a kid and not conforming is hours of isolation and persecution. Years.
As recently as the 1970s it was considered daring for women to wear pants. No wonder this country is having a crisis over where trans people can go peepee
Sometimes the transphobia on social media feels like increasingly more elaborate ways for transphobes to avoid sounding like a 1960s square ranting about how they long for the days when girls were girls and men were men
Americans back then just about lost their damn minds over men having slightly longer hair than a crewcut
