sewing machine adventures: i don't know if this is how i'm *supposed* to be finishing seams, but it works so i guess i'll go with it

(yes, it's crooked, but i've undone them a bunch of times already and cannot be bothered to try and get them straighter. yes, i will press them, but lunch first)

day of the trivial pursuit

day of the trifle

if i make a subtle joke, and one of the two people who have the necessary context gets it, do i get a passing grade in comedy? (something that is reasonable to want and possible to achieve)

you cannot make a gender essentialist statement and also include all trans people. if you think you can, then you should have a long hard look and think about which trans people you believe are worth including and which aren't.

This goes double for anything about being socialised male or socialised female. Someone who transitions at 5 and someone who transitions at 15 and someone who transitions at 40 will all have different experiences. None of those will be the experience of cis people of their AGAB.

you're just making the same transphobic joke but adding a thin veneer of progressivism to it. stop it.

there is no categorisation system that will include everyone who is "doing harm" and excludes everyone who is "being harmed". This is part of why we need intersectionality.

if you change your "if men could get pregnant" joke to "if amab folks could get pregnant", you're addressing the criticism that trans men can get pregnant, but not the fact that amab folk's bodily autonomy is frequently not a priority in medical systems.

one does not simply take a gender essentialist joke and substitute AMAB for men and AFAB for women. Not only are you not addressing the transphobic premise of the joke, but you're also revealing who's concerns you believe are worth listening to and who's aren't.

the existence the master, and the doctor who, implies the existence of a greater, more powerful, the professor who'm'st'd've

look, people are weird about tumblr, but the entire site has been sidetracked for about a week on the spice used in the hungarian national dish back in the 19th century so we know whether or not we can accurately mock jonathan harker-dracula

important question: do you think a creature with a hundred arms should have a hundred shoulders, or just two very broad shoulders that have fifty arms attached?
