“that character is problematic” i am sick and twisted. next
God I hate economists. Especially when they put get their stupid stinky hands on sociology
Why do we do this thing where we're like "You wouldn't do this to another marginalized community."
I just saw a video of a bi person going "people act like the only bi woman is white and middle class, but they don't do that with lesbians or gay men." I immediately thought "Yes they do, though."
I've seen people say it with "You wouldn't say it about Jews" as a talking point against racism, with examples that I've definitely seen happen to Jewish people. "You wouldn't say this to a Black person" about comments I've seen Black people receive.
"Don't tell me I can heal my invisible disabilities with enough willpower, you wouldn't say that to a wheelchair user!" - they do though.
It's rare that a bigoted mindset doesn't replicate itself across groups. There are specifics for each marginalized group, but if a shitty attitude exists towards one, it most likely exists towards others. If you haven't seen it - it's likely your positioning.
If you want to discuss an issue you experience, you don't have to use another marginalized group as an example of someone who has it better. If you're wrong and they do suffer, you just contributed to erasure.

“Don’t kill yourself you have to outlive panic! at the disco” is old. It’s tired. P!ATD literally broke up this morning. “Don’t kill yourself you have to outlive MCR again” is new. Fresh. They’re definitely vampires but you can give it your best shot
This is me, going to bed at midnight, knowing full well that I have to wake up at 3am to go to work.
Why must I do this to myself
I'm gonna throw one of my hot takes out here real quick.
Speed reading is just skimming. You're missing out on so much of the book when you do it. It's really not worth it just so you can say that you read 90 books in one month. We need to stop encouraging it. The quality of a read is so much more important than how quickly you finished it. Might be mean, but I won't take your book opinions very seriously if you're just skimming.
Streaming now!
Someone please explain to me why I'm putting so much effort into a book I hate
Come join me on twitch for some more Left Behind!
It's a terrible book and watching me suffer is fun!
