My newest essay on Mentour covers an asshole pilot who got lost, and a bullied FO afraid to point out that they were going the wrong way
This is a study in confirmation bias and arrogance

Wired headphones are fucking terrible and make for bad tech, move on

and of course, demanding representatives stand up for us on it is such an unbelievable ask that we are blamed for the party losing elections

There is a trend of video game narratives where women are prominent to be overly focused on motherhood and the 'natural' nurturing urges we're all supposed to harbor. It happens even when the woman in question wears power armor and blasts aliens with a giant arm cannon.
The entire fandom’s (and Retro Studios) initial assumption: “Oh she hunts down the baddest monsters in the galaxy and gets paid for it, right?”
Nintendo: “What? No. She’s like humanity’s motherly guardian. What are you talking about.”

This novel called me out ten times per page.
If I wasn’t openly trans when I started this book, I would have been by the time I finished.
It felt so real I screamed into pillows that I couldn’t have found this ten years ago.

God, trans women are such fucking exhausting gatekeeping mean girls
“If you’re not into these eight things you’re not a real trans”
“You can’t be into anything popular if you’re trans”
Seriously, shut the hell up; let people fucking enjoy things.

Biggest red flag for trans women is being a swiftie—like I’ve met a couple cis women that can kind of get away with it but if you’re forged through the fires of transmisogyny and your taste hasn’t developed past TSwift obsession there is something spiritually vacuous about you

American media going out of their way to not describe this accurately with the headline “Sitting Republican Congressman Raped a Homeless Child”
The 17 year old who had sex for money with Trump’s first nominee for Attorney General was in and out of a homeless shelter, working at McDonalds. and trying to save up for braces. (Gift link).

we are also about to have a reckoning in regards to how normalized it was up until like ten years ago to want to have sex with--and indeed, have sex with--teenage girls. it is hard to describe how normal of a desire that was until very recently.

NYU GIRL 1: Oh my God, so I was watching, this girl talked to a doctor, okay—
NYU GIRL 2: Real doctor or TikTok doctor
NYU GIRL 1: *exasperated scoff* they can be both okay
NYU GIRL 1: but TikTok

The underbelly of every parent of a dead trans kid saying “social media did this” is them saying that the internet made their kids trans
I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate.
That's why they hate it.
