Honestly, attachment to sex rather than gender as a social construction won't create a utopia without the subjugation of one's presentation, background, or experience from existing. Recognizing that sex and gender are both socially constructed and while they sometimes inform one another, they won't always, and that trans people absolutely can attest to this and are integral to making change for a better world are insurmountably important. If your desire for a "better world" coincidentally doesn't include us, what you desire isn't a better world where people are free - it is subjugation by a different name.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #and this is why i stopped really buying into the odea that abolishing gender alone would save us #because people still believe that sex is this Divine thing that Never Ever Is Influenced Or Is Seen Socially As Anything... #...that whatever is seen as 'right' by societal standards is inherently true... #... it's the idea that a person existing is simultaneously natural AND unnatural only in context with what /everybody else/ thinks.. #i just find that people are super enthusiastic about obtaining a utopia for them that just ~coincidentally~ will naturally exclude transness #like 'without gender you trans people wont NEED to exist 🥺🥹' and it just shows that you don't WANT a better world. #what you WANT is a hierarchy where you are naturally ordained at the top #at best it shows a lack of understanding of the trans perspective and at worst appears genocidal #exactly HOW will you prevent us from existing? because closing your ears and going 'lalala you don't exist!' obviously hasn't cut it #offtopic completely but i am watching my spotify wrapped and what the fuck #why the Fuck did i listen to time warp 314 times (i Know Why) #i am shocked that weezer wasn't in the top fove artists. i am thankful too

Speaking of top scars I'm way too much of a chicken to do it myself but MASSIVE props to people who get bilateral mastectomies and then get scarification art done around them. Something about playing off of the whole 'self-mutilation' scaremongering horseshit and turning it on its head as body art

#spitblaze says things #im probably gonna get tattoos around my top scars tbh #maybe a constellation sorta thing #i always liked the visualization of top scars as like. a pattern of stars #ive gotten a tattoo! its not the most fun thing ever but i know i can handle it #scarification is just scary lol #tbh id love to get horn implants as a body mod. it just seems risky #and now that im not a career artist. less socially acceptable than other thing i could go for

i bought a replacement book for the library book that got stolen with my stolen car and then i put off actually taking it to the library for a month and a half because anxiety demon brain and then i finally took the book to the library today and explained the situation only to be told they don't take replacement books because they buy special library versions or whatever and I'll need to pay for it again. and then they charged me $20 😭 also i obviously cannot return the book i bought because it's been a month and a half. the (very nice) librarian was like "at least you get to keep this one now! :)" and in my head i was thinking bestie i hated the book jknbsgkanjkaw. then i went to my car and had a cry in the parking lot because that was the one silly little thing that was gonna set me off today i guess! another fun day in the life!

#a saga a journey etc #do you ever put off doing something for a month and a half to avoid a social interaction #that you've decided in your brain is going to go poorly. #and than it actually goes poorly?? pain. #anyway now im out $40 on top of all the other stolen car expensives i have paid #do you ever pay $100 for vip tix to a maisie concert and think oooh its so nice to pay so little for a concert i love supporting artists #and then you go and your car gets stolen and you end up paying like $600 to recoup your losses and pay your insurance deductible #anyone? #w humptober but it's just me going through my day to day Experiences #ktp

chilling vibing getting stuff done and then suddenly getting hit by 'why do you try so hard to make something new and good and bend yourself backwards pushing for quality when that stuff is mostly discouraged and low effort quantity-over-quality stuff is constantly rewarded'

#life #was on a high after writing quite a bit today #but now feel like a deflating balloon lmao #like yeah nah yeah i've worked with social media enough to know that you have to play 'their' game in order to 'succeed' #but that whole premise is so soulless and yet #it's the shit paradox that most often the less time and effort you put into something the more likely it will do good online #but with constantly diminishing returns it can get pretty tough #like the pattern is there it's all in motion #and it's just gonna get worse and worse and worse #people barely reblog anymore barely comment #i started posting my writing because i thought 'well at least one person might like it!' #like... i cannot NOT write it's just who i am #but even with the folders full of personal writing and whatnot at some point i stopped #because writing is just incredibly lonely and it was starting to make me feel worse about it so i stopped #but yeah nah fam #i'm just fully in the period shits and getting emotional #but the ongoing decline of engagement and communication is just sad to see #like even artists around me who are incredibly talented i see them barely get any notes and if they do it's pretty much all likes #shit's depressing fam #and then on top of that we have people stealing shit from us #like that fucking guy who copied every bg3 creator's ideas and then started playing victim when called out #what was up with that lmao

ill never be good enough at anything

#vent #events of today only proved it #im genuinely so close to giving up completely #i dont feel happy when I draw because I know its not good enough and im ashamed when others see it because I know they think the same thing #I dont feel satisfied or accomplished when finishing schoolwork because I know others will have done it better and responded better and im #the stupidest person of the entire class. some things I just dont understand but I know everyone else or lots of others did #i cant do anything right. i cant socialize correctly. i cant remember to do anything. i cant keep any stable relationships #i know if i get a job they'll ly me off or fire me within days max weeks. i dont expect to be able to hold down a job for long #i dont have the skills necessary to become what I want to be which is a meteorologist. i struggle in math and that career is a lot of math #i actually want to be an artist too but ill die a lonely death. i cant even do this class. and artists are not paid enough to survive #hell what I do right now with art in my spare time is much worse than others. a mouse and microsoft paint. both arent good enough #i cant not compare myself to others. i know that they're all better than me. and im around these people every day and see it on social medi #i really want to put my art in our shredder and permanently delete files. i want to drop out. i dont know what to do with myself because i #know that im not good enough for anything except lay in bed like the depressed piece of shit i am and end up getting kicked out #i thought about just leaving class today and throwing myself down the stairwell from the top floor i was already on #just over the barrier thats right next to the first flight of stairs that prevents people from falling off the stairs from a height #the one you can look down and see the following flight of stairs. just throw myself down from that and hurt myself significantly. #ive been thinking about jumping again. from a new part of campus thats higher than where i initially wanted to fall from #if not those then sl!t my wrist or run into traffic #i just need to d!e. There's no room for someone as worthless as me #i cried when I came home today because im just done. i cant carry on and itd be better if i didnt. itd be preferred.

I might just go on a huge tangent on here so I sincerely apologize, but I think this is something you've slightly touched on before, so maybe it's interesting to you? About the fact that literally Nobody on the staff/people who work behind the scenes of everything in the kpop industry are credited, mentioned or acknowledged for their work (other than, for example, the surface level “the designer deserves a raise!!!” that i so often see in mv comments :/). What I wanted to talk about specifically though is the company’s complete lack of crediting of these people?? I wanted to look into who directed this new mv that just dropped that I really liked the artistry, editing, and general composition of, but I found absolutely nothing across the group’s yt videos or their pages of who the director is, perhaps the set designer, editor, etc. Utterly taken aback, I checked the descriptions of other kpop music videos, from the most popular to more unknown groups (Twice, Dongkiz, to name a few), and again, nothing. I thought I was going insane, so I looked at mvs for like Amercian bands, and their video details are completely filled with the information of the producer, the recording studio, mixer, master, etc. etc, my point is: so much more than just the group’s twitter or merch page??? I’m like what is going on?? I noticed the kpop mv's only list licensing info at least, but so did the american ones? Idk. It’s either me not knowing where to look, or maybe I’m late to the fact that that is just how things work with kpop group companies or the industry as whole, just giving you no details as to who the hell else worked on this mv or song. I love my biases and appreciate their contributions, but I do not buy for a second that, more often than not, they wrote or produced or mixed absolutely nothing. I think it’s a huge shame that this is done because it reinforces the false idea that the idols are the ones responsible for everything we’re seeing and listening to. Maybe that’s the point, and that’s exactly what the industry wants you to believe, which that just makes it really sad. (Wait also maybe it all gets hidden because its work for hire or the companies buy ownership copyright...)

so i want to clarify some things for you, from the perspective of someone who works in the arts industry. firstly, and most importantly: visible credits exist in western filmic media because of unions. and there are still a LOT of fields that are not unionized. for thousands of years it was fundamentally understood that no performance based art form was done singularly by an individual, so there was often not a reason for there to be 'credits' in the first place. the whole assuming the face of the project is the person who did the most work thing? that's a very new phenomenon in the history of art, and it's capitalism's fault.

secondly: um. you are definitely not looking in the right places bc people are ABSOLUTELY credited? especially music production staff? i guess if you only look at a music video then sure yea there's not always credits there, but companies literally release tracklists and highlight medleys on their main social medias AS PROMOTION that have LISTS of their arrangers and composers. hell, tan's most recent tracklist has their fucking midi programmer on it????

also..............the fucking ALBUMS HAVE CREDITS IN THEM. i can't believe i have to say this but THE ALBUMS ARE THE MAIN PRODUCT AND THEY HAVE PAGES OF CREDITS IN THEM. i...????

like???

i got addy (@hoforwonho) to send these to me, these are from a lucy album and nayeon's album, and they literally have pages of credits???

lastly, and most importantly: the only people who are being 'fooled' into thinking that idols are 'producing' most of the content are western fans. because that is the stereotype promoted BY THE WESTERN MUSIC INDUSTRY. so that is the lens through which you view the korean music industry. koreans and korean fans are well aware that idols do not produce their own artistic content, there is quite literally a stigma around idols in sk about how they are not viewed as artists SPECIFICALLY because of this. gdragon and jonghyun were HUGE deals for being some of the first idol producers + songwriters. music is a huge part of the korean entertainment industry and people who make music are very much a visible part of it. kim eana is a very famous lyricist and she has a popular radio show. kbs just did a whole competition show featuring producers as the contestants. companies are not required to put credits in music videos because music videos are only one part of a kpop cb, and they are also not obligated to put those credits in english. just because you can't find something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist and the whole industry is at fault for it.

#listen. i'm sorry to say this but it's not the industry's fault that you don't read korean and don't know how to look something up #companies do not need to constantly post every single credit for everything on social media stop expecting stuff to be fed to you #kpop questions #also: most kpop fans genuinely do not give a shit about the credits. if someone wants to know #they will go looking in the most obvious places for them #also also: not having the credits plastered everywhere on social media is partially a protection mechanism! #kpop fans are known for fucking stalking and harassment are you kidding me #and there ARE kpop mvs with credits in the actual mvs? i can think of at least three from the last year off the top of my head??? #and one of them IS a dkz mv?????????? #answers #text #bts literally got popular bc they copied the western model of pretending that the art they produce is 'authentic' and self produced #that's why they blew up. i've talked about this several times #its the western model and western fans that are perpetuating this viewpoint. #also oh my god mama has a BUNCH of creative awards are you just fucking thick???? #and i cant even believe im about to say this but. THE BIG FOUR COMPANIES ARE LITERALLY FOUNDED BY FUCKING SONGWRITERS AND PRODUCERS #YG LSM JYP BANG SIHYUK WERE ALL ARTISTS AT ONE POINT #OR STILL ACTIVELY ARE WORKING #...........i feel like i need to lay down #m8 how do you think i know who choreographers and producers are. of fucking course people are credited did you think i was guessing????

Spotify Wrapped: The Calling-Out

My usual method of Spotifying is shuffling a couple of giant playlists that I alternate between. The top song is in that position not because I specifically sought it out but because it's at the top of one of the playlists and always gets played if I can't set the shuffle in time.

I am an old person who listens to a lot of things because they're what my parents (especially my dad, who determined what the car radio played) listened to and they feel like coming home.

Sixpence None the Richer has been resonating a lot with me lately, and the giant playlist has a lot of their songs.

I think the "Maverick" designation is another way of saying that my taste makes no coherent sense :P The only criteria is "stuff that I like," and just about anything could determine that.

#random personal stuff #one year my top artist was Glenn Miller and Spotify was like 'thank them!' #like one can just slide into the social media of a band leader from the 1940s who disappeared under mysterious circumstances

[songtwo]

one of the coolest parts about magazines were the specials they would make for certain occasions like nme every Christmas would get a set of artists and they'd pick another artist to dress up as which was so cool and everyone just had a good time and they'd create something somewhat memorable that fans would also love

#then again the most popular acts used to be also the most interesting #which now is simply not the case like who would want to see harry styels as David Bowie or Taylor swift as Madonna . no one #in a way the death of music journalism is inherent with the death of good popular music #which is not to say All popular music nowadays sucks bc there are obviously exceptions #but the thing is it used to be the other way around most of the popular music was good but there were a few bad exceptions #and now it'd be rare if u found something Good in the top 40 #which also says a lot of how the music industry has changed #and now it's just so much harder to make it as a good musician bc most ppl are simply interested in simple and basic tiktok music #a lot of ppl say social media and the internet makes it easier for musicians but that's clearly not true #music journalists used to go straight to the source of music pubs bars small avenues and would give everyone a chance #and now to have people talking about you u must either have connections money or go viral on tiktok #and it takes so much more for a good band to make it than it previously used to #and now that I'm working in a label i see it more clearly like there are just so many good artists trying to make it #and it's so sad how in order to do so you rely completely on social media and online platforms #and idk . as always u can blame it on capitalism as labels and the industry in general are just out to get money not bc they actually care #which has led to the death of music journalism and the rise of mediocre musicians
