As an openly nonbinary tailor, I cherish working with fellow queer people. Today's been a real treat--a wonderful old lady came in and asked to patch up a hole in the jacket she wore at Stonewall. Couldn't resist throwing in a little surprise personal touch😅 Looks amazing!

If you back-extrapolate the names of generations and their earliest year of birth, you will find that the earliest members of Gen Q, colloquially known as Qoomers, were 32 at the time that the U.S. Civil War started, and so constituted the vast majority of the fighting force

Is There a Christian Way to Be Gay? A lesbian Catholic tries to carve out a complex middle between two hostile camps.

While we're on the subject of Liz Bruenig, she once wrote that it is a "moral hazard" for lesbians like me to have women friends. I can imagine what she thinks of my marriage. www.theamericanconservative.com/is-there-a-c...

One thing I think we need to grapple with more is how social conservative and fiscal conservative grievances have been collapsed in the conservative mind into the feminization of bureaucracy and regulation. Any rules or enforcement mechanisms—and administrative state itself—are all cast as women.

Against the Sanctity of Nature a study on the metaphysical underpinings of the anti-abortion and anti-trans movements

A defense of the claim that the anti-abortion and anti-trans movements are two sides of the same coin, going into issues like shared propaganda styles and the underlying metaphysics that essentializes gendered social hierarchy as a natural state of affairs. lysistrata327.substack.com/p/against-th...

Under the light of a full moon yes

Important update not devoid of hope, but also fairly heavy.

Caution, this is a difficult video to watch at times and may be triggering especially for my trans loves:

At the local Presbyterian (church of scotland) parish they also drop the filioque. Total eastern victory

I don't remember

wanted to post oupi goupi on here but the videos are just a smidge over a minute long...

I used to say you could either go with intercourse or right-wing women, but I've come to think the former is just better as an intro. really gets you up to speed on everything important

Intercourse is the first book by hear that I'd read, and I think it was an excellent introduction, I probably would go for that. After that, the three books getting their re-release are all good: right-wing women, woman hating, and pornography.

MAN TO WOMAN

FROM PENIS TO VAGINAAAAAAAA

Feminism is not a broad term for anything women do; it is not an uncritical stamp of approval for every aspiration that they have. Feminism is a political program with values.

i do actually remember it being extremely nietzchean but i also watched it during a nietzsche phase so my perception is bound to be very skewed

i'm pretty sure it was even more nietzschean than that, if you take spiral stuff to be the will to power then the anti-spirals as a suspended form of life that ceased its evolution and fights to suppress all drive to live and develop it's pretty clearly Nietzsche's Last Men personified

this puts me in such an awkward spot because it's been so long since i've watched gurren lagann that whatever i still remember of it still has like annoying zany-as-a-15-year-old media analysis attached to it so it's probably worse than useless to think about unless i rewatch it

yeah like it's a classic reversal of the messianic trope where he's explicitly A messianic figure for humanity, but also he's outgrown his messianic shoes and ACTUALLY kicks some celestial ass in a huge humanity wins moment. like even then the themes of will and power are if anything nietzschean

and he's foiled in it by whatever and the religious-occult mystique is slowly drained and he's about to be falsely convicted by the devious authorities but some confluence of circumstances saves him in a self-aware deus ex machina-like fashion that leaves doubt but serves as faith fuel
