something really cool is listening to the first few verses of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, which was written in Middle English

In English history, Old English is the language up to around ~1100 AD, Modern English is everything from Shakespeare onwards (1600s) and Middle English is the stuff in the middle
but when you first listen to it, it sounds so foreign and strange - you can still understand significant parts, so it's not a different *language*, but it is different
Feels good to draw some fuzzy, fangly monsters. And Devilman provides that in spades. Done with ink brush traditionally and colored in Photoshop. #mastodonart #mastoart #creativetoots #fanart #devilman #Amon https://mastodon.art/media/AmYxiTPrjhVtIQE04lE

criticizing the "x queer culture is" jokes
if twitter doesn't work for you or whatever, essentially the point is when you say "trans girl culture is" and then something that's actually a very specific subculture you're a part of, you alienate a lot of people.
"trans girl culture is buying collars and being kinky" or "trans girls are great programmers" or whatever else. You're not actually speaking for trans girls, you're speaking for your clique of trans girls and alienating the rest.
cis people, copy pasted from someone else
Cis identity is pretty wild when you think about it. Some person who didn't even know you looked at your junk when you were a baby and was like "I declare you this for life" and most of us are just like, “sure, that's fine."
And then when other people are like, “wait actually no, not defined by my junk” we have the nerve to be like NO THIS ARBITRARY DECISION MADE WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT AT A TIME WHEN YOU WERE PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF SPEAKING AND SEMI-CONSCIOUS AT BEST IS BINDING FOR LIFE GET IT TOGETHER.
Shit’s weird. It’s weird.
