Please hit me up if you know where I can find more of these surreal ~2014 (?) 4chan memes of female NEETs that I find incredibly compelling
Imaginal Disk is definitely my top contender for album of the year. I was semi-familiar with Magdalena Bay prior to its release and this really feels like they've elevated their sound into something genuinely unique genre/production wise. it's such a vivid, mesmerizing piece of art, I love it.
It's crazy how women who believe that all men are mindless rapists are like. Extreme anti-feminist strawmen who essentially don't exist in real life. And a man who believes that all women are mindless vessels for receiving sex is, like, your dad
the thing about "don't shame people who choose to try to lose weight" is like in its initial iterations among fat liberationists it was largely intended as guidance for talking about people who are 1) fat and 2) some degree of participatory in fat liberationist activism. like i remember this coming up when roxane gay wrote about deciding to get weightloss surgery for example. the point (again among more radical fat lib types) was to recognise that it was something she pursued because of how miserably the world treated her, economically & interpersonally -- "don't shame her" wasn't supposed to detract from conversations about fatphobia but ironically was supposed to be a framework that pushed people to focus more on those structural factors, and to understand individual choices as being the result and not the cause of those factors. in this understanding, inside activist circles, often the people choosing to lose weight are also some of the people bearing the most brutal effects of fatphobia and so the thinking was, don't shy away from analysis of the systems that force them to seek weight loss but at the same time don't treat them with *needless* hostility for responding as individuals to those pressures, assuming they are amenable to actually deconstructing fatphobia. it's a contradictory position to be in of course but such is often the case (an obvious comparison being, like, a feminist who argues that makeup should not be required for women to exist in public, but is also dealing with say a boss who punishes her if she skips it). but the nature of social relations is such that it's very hard to keep terminology in some kind of linguistic quarantine esp when it's regarding a political position designated as fringe & cringe by (for example) an extremely profitable medical industry so now you just see "don't shame people for losing weight! ^-^" on like pastel infographics and comment sections of virulently fatphobic 4% bodyfat fitness influencers &c
a Very Important Purchase
the other day my girlfriend told me "I like being flesh" and I just stared at them like this
let’s groove tonight, share the spice of life
can someone ask a good question
i couldn't make myself choose so
whether its sensationalizing syntax, devaluing dialects, writing-off writing, ignoring indigenous voices, or trying to prove hyperdiffusion, my dream is to simply blow them up!
