Reading The Salt King by Natasha Pulley, and, though it largely features Catholic stuff, as a former religious person, it HITS. I feel like it needs to be required reading for former religious people. REQUIRED… wait, shit, no…

Just read the literal worst children’s book I’ve ever encountered. In it, a child-coded, cis-male coded main character terrorizes an old lady and her dog: steals her purse, then spends the rest of the book drawing all over everything with her lipstick.

The purpose of feminism is not to "fix men". Will feminism help men? Fuck knows, hopefully. But patriarchal politics seek to reduce women to dependents, to hoard politics and economic power in the hands of men and reduce women to property. The purpose of feminism is to free us from that condition.

Having fun messing with the format of Unlinked Prince (links below) for the sequel. This is going to end up much cozier than the first. Still a lot of breakneck action, though. Just with a nice cup of tea. o-a-bhatti.itch.io/the-unlinked... books2read.com/u/49w2lp Free excerpt: oabhatti.com/82-2/

Fantastic article that articulates how the right-wing grift machine works to make trans women’s existence into an “issue.” I also think there’s something to be said about how many of the champions of this grift are professional athletes. (1)

It’s so funny how “centrists” always end up emboldening the worst tendencies of humanity by framing them as a “side” Like “oh no, too many people on this platform think people shouldn’t go hungry, that housing is a human right, and that genocide bad! Can’t we get some other opinions in here?” Trash

Ultimately, the youngins being incredulous and confused at how bad it used to be is an amazing thing. We gotta live so that these kids can have the queer and trans elders we didn't have growing up. We gotta make sure that they live and become the elders of the next generation. We gotta fucking win.

The reason why the might of the state is being brought to bear against LGBT youth is BECAUSE things have gotten better. Homophobia and transphobia are amazingly effective tools for perpetuating state power. I fear for the youngins but I'm also so grateful that they didn't grow up in the time I did.

The 90s and 00s were so thoroughly suffused with homophobia that even joking about someone being gay carried weight. I had adults threatening me over hugging another boy in grade school. If you were a boy that wore your shorts above the knee you were a target. Bisexuality was a punchline at best.

Did some research into The King and I for a book. Turns out it’s a reimagining of a fictionalization of a sensationalist memoir that distorted facts to increase sales and was written by a half-Indian woman who pretended she was white her whole life (which if you think about it, meant she really was)

Okay, so yes, last night’s UFC 250 resembled Idiocracy to a huge degree, but can we acknowledge how white-washy, patriarchal, and vaguely racist that movie is? Like, it literally postulates that the world got dumb because “dumb people have more babies.” That’s eugenics, people.
