Trump would be such a good drag queen like just such an unbelievably incredible and talented drag queen it’s such a bummer that he’s decided to be a fascist and a threat to democracy because that cunt would devour at the House of Yes
such a loss
his cadence, his tiny bitchy hand gestures, his cunty little nicknames for people that are insane but also somehow stick to your brain?
“the problem with ron desanctimonious is that he needs a personality transplant, and those are…… noT yet available.”
if he’d laid the garbage fire of his entire soul aside for a wig and heels back in the 80s, we’d live in a better world.
Welp, turns out I’m here for whatever the hell this is!
Also, have you heard of Cary Grant and his husband Randolph Scott? Because the “it was weird in retrospect” joint bank account gives off similar vibes to “we just happen to have apartments next door to each other whenever we can’t live together because one of us is married”.
the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy’s way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn’t expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.
they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.
there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago
[/ID: tweets by @/chenchenwrites, saying: “one of my pet peeves is the belief that a poem is just a more complicated way of saying something you could say plainly. no. at its best, every line of a poem is actually the simplest way you could say something—it’s just that the something is complicated & strange & alive.

a poem inhabits its own clarity, which may be deeply mysterious but that’s different from unclear. and at its best, it is an unparaphrasable clarity. it says what cannot otherwise be said—and it is an encounter with the unsayable (sometimes in the same line!)

a poem is not ornament. it is oracle. vital opening into wonder.” /end ID]
One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.
