(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

#selected 'taking out the trash' and briefly went down a thought spiral about whether I am replicating gender roles in my queer relationship #bcs as a kid the only chore my dad did was taking out the trash and Mom did all of the rest of these #but I also do many other chores. I am reminding myself of this. I'm gonna go do the dishes rn to spite gender norms #and ik Elliot would choose cleaning mirrors he loves that shit

#HELL YEAH #en abime #Web weaving #I saw the far country this week and it made me vaguely insane about these themes again #D. Did you know that when San Francisco Chinatown was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake Chinese businessman #Look Tin Eli hired white architects to rebuild it not to look like anywhere in China but to mimic the “Orient” of the White imagination #in an attempt to prove its worth to the city as a tourist destination so the Chinese people who lived there wouldn't be forced to relocate #To the outskirts of San Francisco. Because I do now and it's so. Something. #Like the echo of an echo of a memory that you might not even have filtered through what is profitable for that memory to be #Cool show and cool post

is there a reaction image for when strangers online talk to you with no boundaries like you're friends and you don't like it? something similar to BDG's "I am not your friend and you have no say over my body" but about these interactions specifically? or am I gonna have to edit the bdg one

In her song Rainbow Dress, Taylor Swift describes the position of her purported "straight sex" in relationship to what Gayle Rubin terms the charmed circle of sexuality, wherein any sexual behavior outside an accepted range can only be immoral. When it comes to the vectors of heterosexual versus homosexual and vanilla versus kinky, her "just normal sex, nothing too weird" with a "regular hunk with a beard" is positioned inside this charmed circle. Yet the most glaring exception is that her sex is public--at the gay pride parade, no less. The hunk she desires has no name, no specific relation to her, and she makes no pretense of monogamous attachment. Her apparently ironic participation at the gay pride parade draws from Michael Warner's anti-identitarian critiques of tendencies that elevate sexual orientation above other maligned sexual practices and detach queerness from sex altogether. Swift's sexuality is clearly informed by queer perspectives: the erotic fixation on ball sweat evokes gay sadomasochist "pig" subcultures, and her claim that she hates her own vagina invites a multiplicity of pleasure possibilities that do not involve direct genital stimulation. The push and pull in her lyrics between straight nomenclature and queer imagery builds upon Eve Sedgwick's critiques of heterosexual-homosexual binarism in Epistemology of the Closet, and attuned listeners know that the question of queerness "hidden inside" cannot follow such an either-or formulation.

#this song doesn't exist and I was so sad to find this out #thought taylor swift was 0.5% cooler #also hell yeah Epistemoloy of the Closet my good friend Epistemology of the Closet

I love you robots and artificial intelligence with mental illness. I love you repression being depicted as literally deleting archived data to preserve functionality. I love you anxiety attacks being depicted as a system crashing virus. I love you ptsd being depicted as an annoying pop-up. I love you anxiety disorder being depicted as running thousands of simulations and projected outcomes. I love you artificial beings being shown to be human via their own artificiality.
