We went from "#freethenipple" to "gay Internet communists will call you a pervert for admitting you sometimes jack off" in the space of like 3 years
Tumblr users will see a story that is compelling because it is sad and upsetting and say "okay but what if it was completely happy and nothing ever happened"
seeing transphobic cis ppl find out about t4t is the funniest thing ever ‘oogh look at these ugly trans people no one will ever want to fuck them… waIT SHIT THEYRE FUCKING EACHOTHER THEY CANT DO THAT’
Transphobes: "Trans lesbians are just straight men!"
Trans lesbians: *fuck each other*
Transphobes: "Straight men! Very straight men!"

here’s my fucking huge son Clementine. i found him outside last fall
don’t know why he’s so fucking big. he showed up in the yard fixed and housebroken
i love him either way
there was a time in my life where I painstakingly trained myself out of using "likes" and "ums" for public speaking, and then when I started learning about like basic linguistics and shit I realized that fillers are completely normal and useful parts of language and now I use them even in text all the time. I feel like if anyone suggested that I should remove them from my speech at this point I would genuinely just be like "alright well you're not ready to engage with the topic I'm discussing yet."
until you stop needing communication & language to be just one specific way for you to view it as skillful, authoritative, persuasive, educated, etc. then you aren't prepared to engage in deeper conversations about language. if you can't handle "likes" and "y'know?"s then you certainly won't be able to handle the ways in which multilingual speakers can use one language's grammar while speaking in another, you won't be able to handle AAC, you won't be able to handle discussions with people with verbal tics or stutters... like you're not going to be able to engage with a lot of language and therefore your understanding of language is not going to be enough, currently, to really get into studying the ways in which power interacts with language or analyzing creative writing on a granular level of phrasing, word choice, punctuation, spacing
The idea of dragons in modern times is so fun because imagine a hot summer day on your vacay and go to use the hotel pool and staff is like "valued guests we regret to inform you that the pool area is out of service at the moment, we apologize for the inconvenience"
And people like "wtf why" looking out their hotel room window and there's this. This dragon just curled up in the pool chilling, literally, cooling itself down
Some of the staff are trying to gently shoo him away and the dragon does a soft little "rrrrrr" like a grumpy cat and a warning puff of smoke and they're like "fuck it i don't get paid nearly enough for this" and no ones using the pool today sorry!
