ugh, the GOAT, that scene is SO fucking cool

I think the real lesson here is that no matter what NOES movie it is, there are going to be several upsettingly creative sequences that make you happy you watch horror movies, and that's a blessing to us all

...imagine if we could sneakily convince cis people to think about questions like "do I like my name and gender expression" by offering them a chance to party while they consider it? This could be an incredible psyop if we played it right.

I do love this idea, and celebrating libraries in general. Maybe just the first official document with your name/gender expression on it? I cried real baby tears when I got my lease with my real name on it for the first time. If it makes you feel real, you should get to throw a party about it.

You know, fair point. NOES is a nasty franchise (in a good way!) and those deaths were in line with what we'd seen before. Hell, Nancy got iced in 3, though that did feel a bit more earned. I have to respect 4 for being fun and gross and mean, and also including Linnea Quigley in the waterbed death.

It's bonkers to me that it is socially acceptable to tell trans people you basically regard them as lich creatures instead of saying "hey, congratulations on doing that thing that makes you want to be alive." I don't have the ability to be nice about it anymore!

I'm getting there, tbh 😭

i’ve been watching old lou reed interviews and i’m obsessed with this 50 year old interview and his response to being asked if he identifies as a transvestite or homosexual

If any other British actors want to donate money to trans people to carbon-credit the Harry Potter stink off of their karma, my venmo is @harmcoxrules and I will tell all the other trans people what a cool ally you are. I can knock up a little certificate for you in Canva. Just let me know!

I do find it really funny when cis people tell me they're mourning my female self. A cis person will happily email me their own little Edgar Allen Poe poem about my supposed death, and meanwhile I am over here still metabolizing and consuming oxygen and whatnot. I look pretty good for a dead bitch.

Today my therapist asked me why I use so many emojis, and I had to explain that my partners are neurodiverse and my sense of humor is dry so this is how I make sure they know I am sharing jokes/affection amidst The Horrors™️

But also I just like cute little hearts and I will not apologize for that ❤️

Intellectually there's a lot I love about DREAM MASTER, but also, how could they do Joey like that 😭

Every now and then I watch Curb Your Enthusiasm and am reminded that her naturalistic performance in dealing with a rich, unhinged crank is probably not related to her acting abilities

They have comments now!? Jesus Christ. I miss when you could use it to find shrooms and sourdough starters.

To be honest I think I was remembering this meme I read where someone said people with unnatural hair colors are trying to warn you away from them like a poisonous animal, and I was like "hell yeah, I do have green hair!" But yeah, re-reading this, you are right. I gotta be nicer to myself!

Aw, I'm glad it's OK. It is a really funny anecdote, and sometimes that is the best thing you can get out of a weird dating experience.

I wish I'd taken a photo. It was incredible. Also I hope she has gone to so much therapy and feels a little better about it all!

The first one at least gave me a great anecdote about why I don't use Lex in Chicago anymore. And yeah, uh, I love my current partners and friends and there are also a LOT of people who I do not talk to anymore! I wish them the best! I also hope they don't find my new phone number.

"I should date women, it would be easier!" Ma'am, you cannot handle being gay, you are not built for this shit, you have to be trained like an Eva pilot, go home

I have frequently complained about the jerk who invited me out for coffee and then tried to sell me on their weight loss pills; lets hear it for the girl who took me to a sip-and-paint and told me about her family trauma for three hours while she painted a plate that was a metaphor for her loss

i am a prison abolitionist but also, to the Hague with her

Text: [For a while, it was only a small group of defiant lesbians who felt confident enough to question the Utopianism and growing prescriptiveness in feminist accounts of a distinctively 'womanly' desire for benign, sensual, egalitarian relationships. They spoke instead of the complexity, ambivalence and unsettling elements of power and submission present in all desire - female as well as male (Vance, 1984, p. 21).]

I guess my answer to this would be "if you call yourself a leftist but don't support radical trans liberation I do not respect you and think you are a complete dumbass," but I have never needed a Cowboy Bebop meme to express that sentiment

I enjoy these quote-tweet jamborees because so many of the responses are essentially "i am a good person but what if I got to have a little bit of fascism every now and then as a treat?"

Sometimes I see a link to a news story that will infuriate me, and I almost read it. Then I remember Agent Cooper telling me to give myself an unplanned gift every day, and then I go to Google and look up pitbulls in sweaters instead.

Thanks Coop! You were wrong about several things, but not this.
