if you're trans, to a bigot you're in a superposition of (1) man (2) woman (3) failed man (4) failed woman, and your identity will resolve differently from sentence to sentence depending on what is most discrediting to you
What’s it like being a trans man advocating for his rights to reproductive healthcare and asking not to be referred to as a woman?
Well I’m glad you asked.

This thread is utterly extraordinary. I both have a new respect for Home Alone and am laughing my ass off
But the wet bandits are also gods. They take fatal injury after fatal injury and they just dust themselves off and continue their relentless pursuit of Kevin. It should be horrifying, but
Kevin’s innocence obscures this.

Today on Bsky I crashed in a thread on the theological implication of Home Alone as Die Hard sequel to explain my Kevin-is-traumatic-guilt theory of Home Alone and got to meet the author of a cleverly sweet love song I heard like 20 years ago.

Kevin is not innocent. Kevin is the projection of the enduring guilt tormenting the family (especially the mother) after a tragic accident that killed the younger child when a series of misunderstandings between parents and older children resulted in him being left, well, home alone.

I love the pedagogical picture painted here, where students begin with a “mere” claim, chase it in a dozen divergent directions, then reassemble for sense-making.

“Vibes” is when your existing theory of power is insufficient to explain reality so you blame reality
Someone is going to have the write the thing about how “vibe” has become a substitute for meaningful theory in a world where the theory is so clear — grift and power — but we collectively refuse if because it isn’t sophisticated enough to generate make work for empiricists.
