@corpsedoll noted i'll keep that in mind

writing "realizing" upon a rude awakening, writing "realising" when the new light is tender

every day i must balance my desire to be what i consider a good person with my desire to hurt many people

@corpsedoll @cyb3rm0shp1t @winterklaus 10 words in and holy shit yeah i love this . i'll see about reading this properly on my break later

@corpsedoll @cyb3rm0shp1t @winterklaus looking into this . (delusionally) im kinda like this guy if he were a trans lesbian

@detondev @fiore doesnt get much gayer than that

@fiore @coolbean i dont even like flatpak but like. dude

@fiore @coolbean literally out loud said "no???"

@winterklaus @corpsedoll @cyb3rm0shp1t paranoia is exhausting -.-

@corpsedoll @cyb3rm0shp1t @winterklaus this whole discussion seems to be closely related with the politics of queer visibility , which is a whole can of worms , and more granularly with the issue of passing which is obviously also controversial . but i'm not super well acquainted with the literature and discussions of visibility . it also seems to be related to the idea of optics in activism .
from what maive's said that i have agreed with i think the importance of spectacle has been misplaced

@cyb3rm0shp1t @winterklaus participation in spectacle is not the same thing as participation in society. Evidently just about everyone who isn't privileged by the spectacle is better off not engaging with it. Everyone that's not participant in the spectacularly mediated images of the red scare, corporate queerhood etc is far better equipped for surviving on this planet right now than those who are.

lowkirk the way zoomers appropriated the image of kirk getting capped is one of the most successful instances of detournement of current year

@cyb3rm0shp1t @winterklaus it's kind of difficult to advocate this when the systems that produce meaning are rooted in and cyclically perpetuate oppression and murder . but it's also true that our alternative is kind of to resign ourselves to don't-existence and the social death it results in . i have yet to see someone suggesting a viable model for surviving don't-existence besides hard separatism which has a lot of obvious problems

@cyb3rm0shp1t this is a trap and a way to accept things "just so". it's true that people are shallow and looks matter to social existence but applying it reductively is exactly what leads to the current of transfeminine pessimism that is so present. behind the veneer of practical truth that we are asked to coldly accept is fascising body politics, eugenicism, white supremacy and an investment in spectacular society. these things do not reproduce themselves from nowhere.

the fundamental thesis of looksmaxxers has been unchallenged since they first emerged, and i imagine it'll stay that way. i see transgender people (women especially) and looksmaxxers as holding common ground mainly on the fact that our existences are both centered around adaptation and external appearance as necessary to our survival. for the looksmaxxer, looking good allows him to be his authentic socially awkward self without immediately being outcasted. for the transgender woman, looking good keeps her from being written off without even being given the opportunity to express herself in any capacity whatsoever.

made this in a blind rage

Though often associated with avant-garde jazz, Sun Ra said he did not believe his work could be classified as "free music": "I have to make sure that every note, every nuance, is correct... If you want to call it that, spell it p-h-r-e, because ph is a definite article and re is the name of the sun. So I play phre music – music of the sun."
