basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.

if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out. 

unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.

personally i think that trying to dig into trans women's blogs so you can put together a fucking leviathan of a document containing private info or outright lies speculation about their sex lives and connections, whether supposedly in an attempt to "prove they like bad stuff 😡" or not, is just very straightforwardly more of a sexually predatory act than like. reblogging from somebody who reblogged from someone who follows someone who reblogged from someone who liked a post from someone who reblogged from someone who ate at KNOWN PEDOPHILE SANDWICH RESTAURANT Subway™

#could caption this post as it is basically the cliffiest cliffs notes form of the last round of papers i gave #which did not actually include the ratm track it was more of a massive attack corpus study thing but along the way i kept being like #'what's that other Thing with the wah wahs and the b7-1-b2-1 bass line and the dry cymbals that i'm hearing in here' and the answer was #1) a lot of stuff bc it's more of a whole stylistic reference than a specific track reference but also 2) bulls on parade specifically #this project is how i accidentally became a 'mixing/timbre as genre crossover' theorist without committing to the ymusic et al bit yet #but this is tum blur so we're doing moodboards / web weaving instead of longposting. may actually post a couple more of these in a sec lol #theorycomp tag #carol overreacts to life #Youtube

huge day for “career things”

#1) got published (such as it is) #(=academic podcast which is one of the goofier formats but it sure is a thing & a cv line) #2) redacted left music scholar is interested in being on my prospectus committee #and like i knew 1) was happening today + i nitpicked those logic files to death for so long the content barely registers #so that one is exciting but not earth shattering but 2) sent me into full on fangirl mode all afternoon #theorycomp tag
