But glad you like the film. 😊

It's nice to have another move recommendation that isn't Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh".

A bearded man says "I related so much to the TV Glow film" to Alex. He breaks down into her sympathetic arms and confesses "a similar thing happened to me as an autistic teen."

trying to rebuild a life at the exact intersection of basically all pursuits (intellectual labor, research, art, writing, teaching) that technofascists desire to be make futureless with genAI actually sucks

lesbians cracking eggs together

Moomin comic panel. Sniff holding up an egg saying "Come and buy unpainted eggs. Paint them yourself and make someone happy!" Fillyjonk retorts "Paint it yourself? I can't do that!" Gaffsie replies "We can meet at my place and paint. I can show you how to do it." Mymble and her children are seen in the foreground.

*gets on my soap box* this idea that cis and trans women (in general) and especially cis and trans lesbians don’t have massive amounts of overlapping experiences and anxieties is a function of our oppression as women—as queer women—and is vital to resist

i once asked a question on twitter for cis and trans lesbians to respond to basically asking how many of us felt mutually predatory towards the other and the response was nearly universal that ALL of us feel predatory towards the other

like cis lesbian’s attraction to women (in general) is demonized. many of the ways trans women are cast as predators is repackaged lesbophobic rhetoric.

“useless lesbian” is a meme because we all feel scared of so much as saying Hello to a girl we think is cute

As a fashion historian, I will die on this hill: the point of having blue hair and nose rings (or spiky nails or stripper heels or tattoos or an all-black wardrobe) is not to look pretty or cool. It's to look (and feel) powerful--something many young American women crave right now. And it's working.

Especially in context, many of the folks I knew from the goth scenes were too anxious to leave their homes yet they still show up to the one thing (the club) that makes them happy
