Once again saw someone yell on here about how "nobody is going to report this aaah the media is evil", closed this app and not even a minute later saw a report with that exact content on a major news platform. Ngl this phrasing is rapidly being added to the list of things i won't reblog on principle.

#Its always an argument as to why the post is more believable or more righteous #And its just a manipulation tactic whether deliberate or not #And I'm not doing that yall #Like either give me solid evidence its being hidden or discuss whatever issue you have in an actual factual manner #None of this reactionary bullshit #Like the amount of 'stories the news outlets aren't covering' where i found an article literally on the front page of the apo #Or with like a single basic search on their app if its a few days old #Like at this point you shouldn't be allowed to add this to your post unless you have googled the topic at least once #We can criticise HOW things are covered and when and by who etc but stop lying to make your point more dramatic

That other guy would fuck it up so that you made macaroons instead of macrons

They're approaching menacingly with a bag of shreaded coconut

now see that would be quite interesting, and definitely be making the most out of the use of time travel

also if someone goes that far, then they absolutely deserve the chance to ruin my macarons lol

#honestly they’d probably create an amazing new macaron-macaroon hybrid dessert and i’d be all for that #but it’s still be my dessert and i’d reserve the right to patent it…so go right ahead and ruin my macarons! lmaoo #i’ve made enough macarons in my life I could deal with the loss of these #ALSO- #fun fact- I once made macarons for almost 23 hours straight #I think I only took one or two breaks and only had one meal #I had to sit on a stool the last few hours because my legs were giving out #that is a legitimately true story #it was terrible #I forgot! I was also interviewed for a newspaper article during those 23 hours?? my boss kind of forced me to do it and the reporter late #*was late #but #she came in and distrusted my baking and took photos and delayed me even more lmao #ask #the hellsite answers #hellsite hall of fame curator’s bullshit

maybe tumblr will listen if i speak its language: remember in 2020 when we all had to sit down and realize that everyone has internalized racism? that everyone has prejudices even if they don't realize it? being antisemitic is more than sitting around wearing a swastika saying you want jews to die. take a look inside yourself and you'll find antisemitism there, too. it's time to address it.

#jewish #jumblr #antisemitism #anyone arguing otherwise will be immediately blocked #this is not a discussion post #judaism #if you're spreading blood libel #if you're lying about what is happening in the news #if you're spreading stories that have been proven false #if you think (((israel))) controls the news #if you think only israel has done wrong #if you think zionists are evil and zionism is wrong #if you still think israel bombed that hospital even after qatari backed al jazeera retracted the article #if you think israel should be destroyed #if you think october 7th was justified in anyway #if any of this questions made you angry #if you saw this post and got mad #if you saw this post and thought ‘what about’… #if you did any of the above congratulations: you’ve got some antisemitism in you #time to start unpacking it

It's so frustrating to see people purposefully misunderstand transandrophobia/transmisandry and then very confidently talk disparagingly about the people who talk about their experiences of it and then blatantly ignore everyone going "hey yeah no that's not what that means"

Like. Devon price trying to frame it like people who talk about transandrophobia are doing so firstly because they're just ignorant misogynistic babies who want to be oppressed so bad and also to try and drive a wedge between transmascs and transfemmes is so fucking disingenuous I don't even know where to start.

We're literally just trying to talk about the experiences transmasculine people have and the institutional problems specific to us? Why is this such a fucking problem?

Its painfully obvious that the people who make these posts do not ever actually engage with the discussion of anti-transmasculinity & the wider transunitist-feminist theories. Its embarassingly obvious in this case because Devon tried to make this sick gotcha, by bringing up one of the most common topics of conversation in our spaces.

And then there's the whole "TMRAs don't realize most of what they deal with is misogyny!" take, which I've seen in other places as well. Which imo comes from the idea that people who discuss transmisandry are literally just the trans version of MRAs. & the MRA idea of "misandry" is just a reversal of their idea of feminist theory- so they use it to describe "actually society is based around women's needs and desires and it targets (cis) men and we actually live in a matriarchy!" While the transunitist concept of misandry/antimasculism is "patriarchal beliefs about men/masculinity & the roles they are expected to fulfill, used both generally to reinforce patriarcharal control and specifically to target marginalized men/perceived-masculine people." I coined antimasculism specifically to provide an alternate to misandry for those who are uncomfortable with it because of the MRA associations.

& like. whether or not you agree that these are useful words, its obvious that the transunitist idea of misandry/antimasculism is very different to the MRA one. But to know that you'd have to actually, like, read the things we write & take seriously to our theories on the patriarchy. And not just trust Tumblr Callout For Evil Trans People #3245853723 that said we don't think misogyny exists.

Also tbh I think a bigger part of this issue (transmascs who are anti-transunitist) is that its a symptom of anti-transmasculine erasure. If you don't personally experience, assault, demonization, or accusations of being a predator for being a trans man, and no one you know has either, then... you certainly aren't gonna hear about those issues from wider society. And even if you have, you might not recognize what happened as anti-transmasculine, or tell yourself it must be only a fraction of what trans women go through. & again, they don't fucking read anything we post. That's why I feel like its so important to point out & remember incidents of anti-transmasculinity (like what I do w the AoVaTP). Because its so easy to buy the "people don't violate trans men the same way" until you've read about (tw for somewhat graphic anti-transmasculine violence)

trans men getting their faces cut off, beaten with a chain, thrown out of men and women's bathrooms, hit over the head with a cooler, having their shelter at a refugee camp firebombed, having hot coffee poured in their eyes while being called a "he-she", institutionalized & tortured for not showing "proper gender behaviors" as a child, having their family burn their documents to keep them from getting a job, forced to jump from a 2nd-story window and left to die, being harassed by Fox News for being a "groomer" until their school got bomb threats, held captive and tortured for two years, found dead with their genitals stabbed, assaulted by a police officer for "lesbian activity", called "tranny" a lot, and so many rapes and so many suicides, and this is just some of the shit that I have collected for that archive.

But yeah. We're just whining about silly representation nonsense.

#sorry for bringing up all the awful shit but like. sometimes i just wanna grab these peoples faces #and be like WHILE YOU NITPICK LANGUAGE THE PATRIARCHY DOESNT STOP KILLING US #i try to pretty regularly search for news articles about trans men to keep up w anything new #and ive done a fair bit of research to find stories that NEVER!!!!! get brought up by other queer activists #wheres yalls fucking support for zahair martinez. for chriton atuhwera. for ky peterson. for ebeng mayor. #if you are an activist then put the effort in #m. #ask box #examples of transandrophobia #rape tw #suicide tw

simply not getting over the fact that GQ published an article (written by a journalist who’s friends with miles, i might add) that starts off with an unnecessarily detailed description of an alleged threesome between miles and alex and a mystery person???

oh, and it’s also the article that used this artwork as its header:

Anyway here it is!

It was 2001, we were 12 years old

We were going on a walk of course clumsy Tom fell in a mud hole but we ranaway anyway he was mad but he forgets about it in like 10 minutes so we didn't care really

So we wanted to create a song out of boredom now its 2005 so i forgot the song's Name either way we woke it goeorg saying"lets make a real song and publish it to the public and we did make it and its probably the reason why you know us till today [DURCH DEN MONSUN]

either way we went to sleep and guess what?

Tom was screaming crazy

God damn that kid is autistic sometimes i wonder how am i his twin brother AM THE YOUNGER ONE BY 10 MINUTES AND HE IS SO MUCH DUMBER THAN ME!

anyway I was like kid whats wrong with you Tom told me"WE ARE TOP 1 HIT IN ALTERNATIVE ROCK PLAYLIST!!!!! " gustav started crying meh that boy is the most sensitive no wonder why he is so left out

TOM:COMING FROM THE VOCALIST

BILL:SHUT UP!

Anyway i said back to sleep goodnight

Georg said"ITS 11 AM BILL! "

I didn't care anyway i slept

He said ITS CONCERT TIME

ugh that is the 5th concert we did only for 1 song, tom forgot his toothbrush at Berlin where we originally lived We bought a new one anyway, we came back at 3 am and fell asleep

Tom and gustav always fight for no reason also i said guys i hear from georg's room music Gustav said lets go check

He is so greedy he said i need my own room while me tom and gustav share one room anyway-

We went to his room and found him listening to pop music

2023 Fall Three-Episode Check-In

We’ve got almost too many great shows to pick from, whether it’s medical detectives or superheroines.

The team split up the three-episode reviews between staff volunteers, with one person putting together a short(ish) review on each series. Like we do with our check-in podcasts, we started from the bottom of our Premiere Digest list and worked our way up.

If we didn’t watch a show for at least three episodes, we skipped it, and we’ve used nice bold headers to help you quickly jump to the shows you’re interested in. We’ve also excluded shows that are continuing on in basically the same vein as our premiere review to conserve space. Unless specifically noted, we will not be mentioning overt spoilers for anything beyond episode three.

We don’t have the time to keep up with everything, so please let us know about any gems we might be missing in the comments!

I consider Tyler's permanency in the narrator's psyche to be equivalent to that one bobbit worm

[gideonisms]

Also anyone know any book podcasts that focus more on analysis/big picture "what is this book saying/what cultural influences or other literature is it engaging with" type stuff? I feel like there is an abundance of podcasts where people sit down and discuss books but avoid spoilers and just give basic "did I like it or not" type info which is not really what I'm looking for atm

#like i need to listen to people have opinions about books or i start getting weaker my health bar diminishes or something #most recently i tried to listen to one where the hosts spent 20 minutes deciding what they would wear in this fictional universe #that's fine it's just like. sometimes i want to think about a book from a new angle or read it later and see if i agree with the hosts! #there aren't as many wizards vs lesbians type podcasts is what i'm saying #like i want somebody to point out the most insane assumptions the story is making about the world #maybe the solution to this is read more papers and articles but i really do like that conversational tone #it's easier on my brain when i'm cleaning working out etc
