reblog for easter
forget april fools day its almost time for the best video on this entire fuckin planet
sunglasses. no sun. it’s cloudy: overcast.
idk sometimes i kinda wonder if such a thing as a unified "trans community" even exists. and i *definitely* wonder if such a thing as a unified "queer community" is real.
saying this with the usual caveat of I'm Not Personally Responsible For "Dividing" the Supposed Community," i'm just describing division that already exists. but
idk with how often trans women are scapegoated and personally discriminated against by other queer people, with how clearly other queer people benefit from and exploit transmisogyny.
it'sss getting harder and harder for me to see a truly unified struggle here. "they treat us all like faggots" being a sort of abusive mantra, "no one will ever treat you better than we do, we're all you're getting so you should be grateful for what you have"
sometimes it really does feel like a massive hoodwink, like the surface level similarities of our oppression are being used to draw false equivalence. to keep a convenient underclass around.
it just really seems like a whole lot of people's idea of queer liberation doesn't include trans liberation. (and that a lot of people's idea of trans liberation doesn't include transfem liberation)
no one is free until we're all free of course (it'd just be nice if that was being told to others for a change, rather than used to scold transfems for talking up about their mistreatment)
When turning to trans communities, I should first clarify that what I have in mind is not any one entity called ‘the transgender community’. The notion of a unified community is one mostly appealing to career politicians, who are fond of imagining they might be able to interact with an entire tier of potential voters, through taking a single ‘representative’ out for lunch. In reality, trans people are prised apart and mutually alienated in much the same way as any other group: differences in class, race or ethnicity, and gender position still ensure that even a pair of trans people in the same city might be unlikely on various grounds to even meet.

went to the gallery today but the best art I saw today was on this electrical box outside
you can find can find Pickle Pee Pump-a-Rum on the roof of Firelink Shrine, and she's really chill if you feel like getting stoned with her
imagine being the first human to consciously realise bad posture existed, not just as something that felt bad but as something observable, and just kinda swirling that around in your head until it crystallised into a coherent thought that nobody else had yet. what a fucking nightmare.

I like how boycotting Target is becoming like, a reoccurring thing done for opposing political reasons
they put him in the cup and no eyes as well… really hope things improve for this dope soul
i get that it is recreationally fun to whine and hate. i support all whiners and haters and i agree nintendo should be bankrupted and have to sell all its games for negative ninety dollars. but if new mario games are $80 i just think its really easy to not buy new mario games. like when peoplare like "games are 1 squillion dollars" im like okay maybe for you if you want to buy the new zelda or cod the day of release. for Me, video games are like $15. sometimes $0
