I made a thing

This is probably the best thing I ever posted on Twitter. The memory is pretty dear to me; I'm sharing it here so it still exists somewhere if that place collapses.

The fascists love to demonize queer ppl for "making everything about sex" or "making their gender their whole personality" but every time I go to a queer event I am struck by how precisely they have this backwards. Cis society is profoundly sexualized, and literally every interaction is pre-coded with assumed gender. In a queer space, you purposefully never make assumptions about who someone is or what they're up to, so interactions are much *less* coded by gender and *less* intronsically sexual

After it did, I paused. When I restarted, I got this message.

A good reminder for 2024: physical media doesn’t disappear at midnight.

‪“why do you like anime, isn't that [usually] for kids?”‬

‪it's made by adults who are proud of their work, and because it's “for kids”, they're allowed to make it joyful.‬

i think certain children's media have such enduring appeal with adults because they have this earnest joy to them that the adult world tries to suppress
