the fact that i need to spend any amount of my one precious life on insurance companies' phone trees is yet another sign of a profoundly sick society

The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning

Celebrate Bastille Day and International Non-Binary People's Day in one swift blow by transing the guillotine 🔪 This messy-queer time-traveler retelling of “The Green Ribbon” by @goosemixtapes.bsky.social suggests the “T” in “LGBT” may stand for Terreur: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

Guillotine

The guillotine was conceived as swifter, painless, more humane. You touch your throat. You wonder.

the way wendy is framing everything as if being working-class and being from the "west," and also as if being working-class and being racialized, are contradictory and can only exist separately. intersectionality is when everybody is 1 thing

that post that's like "ah yes, my shield of being a trans woman, my best shield that is magnetic and attracts every weapon"

Wendy plops both her elbows on the table and rests her chin on the heel
of her hand. “You know it’s because Tahani enables all her bullshit, right?
You can’t criticise Rupali because she’s friends with a trans woman of colour,
the patron saint of queer rights everywhere. Meanwhile, look at what
Tahani’s doing and what she’s getting away with, and what she lets her pet
straight get away with.”

like if you want to be uncharitable nichole basically going "do you two want to do me a favor tomorrow" could be weird of her but i think expressing that you really want to hang out with someone who is being actively ostracized is good actually

1. jesus fucking christ 2. see the thing is i don't even think [jeff] thought that the whole time. i think she is perfectly happy to pity tahani and sympathize with her so long as tahani is safely below her. + as soon as tahani threatens her innocent self-concept she must be ungrateful + privileged

$“Oh, please!” I roll my eyes. “Yes, Tahani’s such a helpless brown trans woman. She can’t do anything wrong because she’s so marginalised, she’s so oppressed, she’s certainly not privileged in the least. Sure, she transitioned as a teenager when so many trans people have to live with the wrong puberty for years, if not decades, but she needs the GSA to cater to her every whim because she might have to face a fraction of what practic‐ ally every trans person—” Rupali gets up and I stop talking. She walks towards me and leans down, so she’s at my eye level. “You know what she went through to get to transition. You know what her family did to her. What my family did to her. We talked about it. Remember when we talked about it? You hugged her because she was cry‐ ing, and you said you can’t even imagine going through that.” I clench my fists and stare at my knees. I can’t bear to look Rupali in the eye. “You thought that about her this whole time?”$

CALLING RUPALI TAHANI'S ATTACK DOG? FUCKING INSANE. [JEFF] WHATMAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK TO 1. YOUR FORMER FRIEND AND 2. A BROWN WOMAN LIKE THAT.

1122

max franciscovich, aeneid guy 🏳️‍⚧️ @goosemixtapes.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

her physical fear, as if rupali presents a danger to her, as if rupali's words are actually damaging to her. goddddd. and "civil" is certainly not an un-loaded word here, is it!

“Okay, I’d really appreciate it if we didn’t swear right now, at least?” I’m
rubbing both my knees and trying to get my breathing under control. “I’m
really doing my best to keep this civil.”

152

max franciscovich, aeneid guy 🏳️‍⚧️ @goosemixtapes.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

the fact that rupali seems to genuinely think [jeff] is her friend and tahani's friend for real. oh i'm sick. rupali i will slay all your enemies

[jeff] stumbling home acting like she's just been through a war. girl you were sitting on the sidelines you said like 2 sentences and all of them were flaccid

121

max franciscovich, aeneid guy 🏳️‍⚧️ @goosemixtapes.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

and [JEFF] is the one who gets a hug. of course. sounds about white

I'M GOING TO DIE I'M GOING TO FUCKING DIE. I HAVE SINCERELY HAD THIS CONVERSATION.

Dennis sighs. “I want to design planes, Tahani. I’m sorry if you think
building commercial aircraft for Boeing implicates me in war crimes.”

max franciscovich, aeneid guy 🏳️‍⚧️ @goosemixtapes.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

1. rupali i adore you 2. this is making me crazy b/c... well yes! trans people, especially trans women, are the most vulnerable people in the queer community at the present moment! so standing up for them IS dangerous. that's also the fucking point of "community"? is protecting those in most danger?

121

max franciscovich, aeneid guy 🏳️‍⚧️ @goosemixtapes.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

SAYING THIS TO RUPALI... ASI F SHE'S NOT IN THE ROOM WITH TAHANI... BECAUSE TAHANI DOESN'T COUNT AS A TRANS WOMAN THE WAY WENDY DOES... FOR SOME REASON... WHICH COULD MEAN NOTHING...

One of the officers next to Quinn says, “I really don’t think we, as cis
people, should be weighing in on this matter, and certainly not by speaking
over trans women.”

incredible how rupali and tahani who have just met nichole are doing more for her in every way than kathy is. and i say that like a kathy hater but i love kathy she's just awful

max franciscovich, aeneid guy 🏳️‍⚧️ @goosemixtapes.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

WAUGH AND SHE'S BEING SO SWEET ;--; society if tahani got a fraction of the generosity she gives to other people

121

max franciscovich, aeneid guy 🏳️‍⚧️ @goosemixtapes.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

hmm. nichole i understand the horrors but this feels simultaneously pedestaling and backhanded. obviously she's not as bad as [jeff] here but picking out some of tahani's specifically racialized features just to be like "i could never be that confident even with big eyebrows and small boobs..." ok

Tahani looks like a supermodel, like she can only be described with words
like “svelte” and “distinguished” and maybe even “ethereal”. And the way
she carries herself—she wears features that I’ve seen trans girls decry and
fret over with the utmost grace and poise. Bushy eyebrows I could never
pull off in a million years, a modest bust I would spiral over, her darker skin
tone—she’s so beautiful and confident in a way I don’t think I’ll ever be
able to match.

if some girl stalked my girlfriend to a party and then was insanely rude to me directly and then was like "but we can be friends right btw" i would throw her at the wall lik a sticky hand
