#xfiles today I offer you butch Mulder. tomorrow? who knows

a digital sketch of Fox Mulder from the x files as a transfem butch. she's unbuttoning her shirt, her necktie with little flying saucers is untied. there's a carabiner clipped to her belt loop with keys and a green alien keychain dangling from it. orange light from a window falls on the left side of her face and torso, leaving the rest in the shadow

Oh my goodness! Priscilla was just up on the windowsill, but then Luna (who has a few pounds on her) decided that she also wanted to be up the windowsill and so just full on bodied poor Priscilla off of it. 😭 (Priscilla is fine.)

The next day I hear about what happened later, the wild experiences, strengthened bonds or odd opportunities all of which I would have loved to have been part of! But I left, bc for me, leaving was the smart choice, the safe one. But saying why I left makes the men roll their eyes; nothing happened!

Anyway I don't want to be accused of starting drama. I don't want to be assaulted, and I don't want to be a problem! So I leave and the men assume I'm tired or dull or maybe they don't care bc without me, they don't have to confront the creeps, they can claim ignorance and buy the bar another round.

The good men, the friends and lovers even, say to me later "well why didn't you just tell that creep off" as though I wouldn't be accused of starting shit, as though they'd stand up for me and not interrogate me to make the creep comfortable instead. Experience tells me most men will do the latter.

It happens so often it can be hard to even see. Men having the same experience I am, but I hit a place where the attention becomes unpleasant. Inuendos start. I have to wiggle out of something I did not start (cautiously! trying not to upset any dangerous egos!) so I leave, while the men get to stay

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

I also like this explanation, i.e. they simply forget women’s sports exist when they don’t need them as a cudgel against trans people, because actually “it never occurred to a single one of us that a man would go to a women’s basketball game” is an even more stunning self-own

Ada is not a reliable narrator. She is attempting to write out her life in a way that will make sense to an unknown reader she desperately wants to understand her. This is impeded by the fact her mind is decidedly broken. So, yeah. I wanted it feel like a bit of a puzzle. The puzzle is, well. Ada.

I've been told ANGEL COUNTRY is a bit of a challenging read, and that's admittedly by design. I wanted to follow the tradition of gothic horror like FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA, and (hear me out) WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Wild epistolary documents you need to use to piece together what may have really happened.

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence

This is the most important thing men can do, and they must be doing it immediately. People create culture. People can change it. If you can't remember the last time you created some social awkwardness by telling another man to stop with that shit, you probably aren't pulling your weight.

This is the thing, because there's no "containment" where it all happened on smaller forums and message boards. Everything is so easily everywhere that it's easy for a "off" take to go hugely viral. Late 90s/early 2k fandom didn't really have that issue.

As a mod, I hate dealing with situations where the person I'm modding didn't have bad intentions and it was an edge case and I realize too late that one of the rules could have been worded more clearly. It's just messy. 😞 In some ways, bots and assholes and scammers are easier to deal with.

Adding to all this: social media is valuable to advertisers if people are interacting with people because that's proof that there are real eyes on the site and thus the ads. As a result, social media is structured to facilitate viralness.
