My new single "Blue Impulse" is out on Bandcamp. It'll appear everywhere else in a few days. This video shows the making of the cover art, by SheilaGrace.
You know what people donât talk about often enough? Playing catch up in life after spending your teens or early 20s suicidally depressed. Thereâs so many more layers than just being able to say âI donât want to die anymore.â
The difficulty in academia or a career after spending years thinking you wouldnât be alive long enough for any of it to matter.
The exhaustion that comes from self awareness and self soothing, with the constant voice in your head saying âdonât go backwards.â
How lonely it is to watch the people your age starting families when youâre just barely learning what stable relationships are, and the sudden societal pressure of being âup against a clockâ for these kinds of things.
The judgement from others if you change your image or interests this late in the game just because you finally figured out who you really are under the demons.
Be kind to those who are developing and blooming after years of not planning on being here long. We are living a life we absolutely didnât think weâd have, and itâs hard enough without society reminding us thereâs expectations of our age.
We didnât get to be young; we were too busy fighting battles few know.
This tiktok about someoneâs pre-transition self is so so SO tender and I just want anyone who has transitioned and may be mourning their old self to see this and to know itâs okay. Itâs okay to miss that person you once were, itâs okay to wish you had embraced what you had and who you were before transitioning. It doesnât mean you regret it, and it doesnât mean you made the wrong decisions.
Itâs okay to think about that person, itâs okay to mourn them, and itâs okay to wonder. The person you were before transitioning may have been a trick of the light, but it doesnât mean they werenât special while they were here.
Everyoneâs experience is different⌠but if you find yourself feeling this, just know itâs okay. You donât have to completely block out every aspect and memory of who you were before. Itâs okay if you do, but you donât have to.
i think that all the people who argue about gender by saying "the woke left cant even define a woman" need to get hit with the "who are you" question by a buddhist monk. no, thats your name, who are you. no thats your profession, who are YOU. no you fucking idiot thats your species, who are YOUU. dumb bitch u cant even define yourself
I love the "just walk out" meme as much as the next guy but I feel like the way people use it has done some serious damage to how we talk and think about oppression and systemic violence. Like some of you are disturbingly eager to let the oppressors win
canât use the internet without adblock because itâs so crowded that itâs unusable canât read important breaking news without a subscription canât get a streaming service without them eventually adding commercials canât watch youtube videos without 30 ads canât search up things on google without seeing a shit ton of sponsored results canât answer unknown numbers because everything is a scam call canât use essential app features without a 30 dollar subscription per month canât watch a music video without product placement. is anyone else tired
One thing that pisses me off is people seeing fish in aquariums (the establishments, not home aquariums) and being like âItâs so sad because the ocean is so big and the tank is so small and theyâll never know freedom blah blah blah-â Iâm not talking about sharks and marine mammals here but the majority of fish are not at all bothered by being in an aquarium instead of the open ocean. Like, I personally would love to be a little clown fish in one of those big reef tanks. Fed regularly. Whole team of people monitoring my health and well-being. No predators. Medicated if I show signs of illness. Aquarium fish have cushy gigs in comparison to their wild companions.
I hope western leftists know that standing for a free Palestine is not the end of decolonization. I've seen far too many white leftists who proudly stand for freeing Palestine which is good but then get nervous and apprehensive at the idea of decolonizing the very land they are on. Norway will recognize Palestine but actively tear down SĂĄmi liberation. Liberation for one people means it for us all. If you support Palestinian liberation but deny it for the Indigenous people of the land you're on then you didn't stand for Palestinians or any of us to begin with.
tried to vent in a trans space about how, as a trans man whoâs been on T for a long time (over 7 years now), i have noticed that the more i pass as a man, the less welcomed i am in queer spaces unless i go out of my way to feminize myself. and how that sucks! and itâs isolating!!! and it feels horrible to see ppl who used to like you and be close to you drift further and further the more masculine (& therefore more comfortable in urself) u becomeâŚ
only to get ppl replying to me and saying âwell if you dressed more fem then ppl wouldnât be intimidated by you. you signed up for thisâ
iâm sorry but i didnt sign up for social isolation when i transitioned, i signed up for gender euphoria and comfort in myself and my life. and i had hoped that the ppl in my life would be able to see how much joy that brings me and continue to love me.
okay hey real question: what are good ways to describe fat characters?
I see a lot of 'have more fat characters' and I'm Here For It but as someone who is skinny and in a world where most existing literature makes characters fat only as a joke or an indication of some variety of moral badness, I'm not really sure how to describe them in a way that's not objectifying or insulting. like, I've grown up on poetic descriptions of thin characters ('long slim fingers' and 'willow figure' etc etc) but I haven't read flattering descriptions of fat characters and I don't know where to start. I've seen a lot of 'how to describe poc' or 'how to describe disabled characters' or whatever and I've seen art ref posts for drawing fat characters, but no posts about how to write them well. so. open call for advice or for examples you've found and like??
This Pride I hope that all of you never ever forget that no amount of sanitizing your sex life or sanding down of your LGBT edges will make bigots accept you. So, donât debase yourself by capitulating an inch to them, especially in ways that throw your fellow community members under the bus.
anyway ive seen too many bad posts today so queer folk w/ 'problematic' or 'contradictory' identities/labels i am kissing u lovingly on the forehead. i love you mspec gays and lesbians, i love you boygirls and girlboys and genderfuckers, i love you it/its and neopronouns and pronoun non-conformity. i love you non-transitioning and non-dysphoric trans folk. i love you xenogenders and neogenders and neurogenders and kingenders. i love you faggots and dykes and people who are both. i love you, queers without labels, and i love you, queers with a million labels, and i love you, queers who are still finding their labels, if any. i love you, i love you i love you i love you. we are all comrades in arms and i am baking you fresh warm bread.
"gender critical" is such a funny term for people who base their whole identity around unquestioningly enforcing the gender binary they were raised with. the patriarchy set up a binary and you're like "I will defend the sanctity of this social construct in the name of feminism" Absolute clown shoes. Imagine a tradcath calling themself "religion critical"
