Unpopular opinion, I guess, but I actually feel sad for the bird app refugees. I’ve been on here for a decade and I remember how it felt after nipplegate, when so many people were leaving… there’s never another place with a comparable culture, and your friends may not all be there for the same reasons, so everyone ends up scattering and things are never the same. You lose track of some friends forever, and your interactions with others are permanently altered. Your comfortable routine, if you like comfortable routines, is gone. You may eventually find a new home, or you may live on amongst the wreckage of your old one (if that’s an option), but… it still sucks.

I suggest that we start using the term ‘creatives’ instead of ‘content creators’ for authors/artists/gifmakers/podficcers for a few reasons, and chief among them are these;

we can’t always be our most productive, but there’s a terrible trend of fandom folks feeling bad if they don’t have something new to post every few weeks

you’re still a creative person even if you aren’t creating something at a given time, for whatever reason

and something it’s taken me far too long to learn myself: making things is not the rent you pay to be part of a community

This post goes out to the disabled people who don’t live perfectly healthy lifestyles. I’m talking about the disabled people who drink. The disabled who smoke. The disabled people who do drugs. The disabled people who don’t exercise. The disabled people who eat junkfood. The disabled people who are angry, negative and bitter. The disabled people who choose to say no to a recommended treatment option for any reason. Considering that even fully abled people rarely manage to live up to the ideal for healthy living, it is both ableist and ridiculous to hold disabled people who are already struggling more to an even higher and more unrealistic standard. So if you’re not the perfect patient, you’re still valid and you still deserve support!

“Ugh! Stupid sci fi movies that are like ‘what if you had to pay to be alive?’. Um that’s just being disabled! Selling literal minutes of your life as currency? That’s just living under capitalism, idiot!”

My love. My dear. My precious baby bird. I am kissing you so gently on the forehead. Please listen to my words.

That is the point.

For the love of god, everyone, please learn the meaning of allegory, I’m dying here.

Dystopia does not predict the future, it criticizes the present

its so surreal that like, every day the internet churns out videos of fucked up people doing fucked up shit, like fights in restaurants, naked people running into convenience stores to yell at the staff, all manner of “karens” and “crackheads,” and nobody bats an eye its just a normal type of daily content

but the minute a trans woman is in one of those, a statistical rarity bc there’s not that many of us, its a headline on Tucker Carlson and supposed to be some sort of conversation topic for our community and a bunch of women are supposed to walk around with shame that some random woman who they have nothing to do with far away was a freak and it got posted on the internet

and that’s why this idea of “we need to be normal so they accept us” is a losing game, because the content mill will always find someone somewhere acting weird and the right wing media will put it on blast, regardless of how shitty and judgmental you decide to be toward other trans women

listen to me. listen. your actual job in life, and it sucks that your 5th grader teacher didnt explain this adequately enough, is to ask for help when you need it and to accept charity when it would take a weight from your shoulders. Otherwise you end up like Sisyphus- or even worse, Walter White

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.
