Occultists and sex workers are natural allies because we are both ideal background extras whenever a scene calls for an air of disreputable luxury.

*touching his extremely defined six pack* who did this to you.....

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

every video game released as part of a larger series/franchise should have a mandatory waiting period of 5 years between a game release and any sequels or dlc planned afterwards. not to give enough time to make sure the sequel's good and finished, but to drive speedrunners to the state of content-deprived near-insanity where they start doing ridiculous runs like randomizing npc dialogue or cutting every blade of grass

tbh the best thing about being nd and missing social cues is that a lot of bullying attempts in high school fell really flat because i didnt realize they were trying to bully me

came back wrong but its from the perspective of the person who came back

I post for the bitches who stutter, misspeak, mumble, and speak with an incoherent flow that only makes sense if you are in my brain

i dont know how people can still stan taylor swift after she ate that sheet metal and spat the shrapnel at that newborn

it is a parents responsibility to play good music during their child’s formative years. make sure the nostalgia playlist is a banger

*grabbing you by the hair while you are blindfolded and kneeling* no damnit, thats the phillips-head screwdriver, you can tell because its vibrational aura is two waves, the yin being a half cycle out of phase. try again. place your fingers into the toolbox again, but this time feel with the spirit, not the body

Vassal and Veil

embracing the patterned ambiguity of gender and sex as more or less social constructs can grant you so much more precision in thinking about so many concepts in science.

like, if there was a study (and I'm just making this up as an example) showing women suffer from mosquito bites more than men do

you could do the ~"Gender Critical"~ thing and go "see!? mosquitoes get it!!"

OR

you could go "that's interesting" and start asking more questions, like:

• is this data self-reported? controlled?
• were they studying the women or the mosquitoes?
• did the study use methods that would let you tell the difference between "being bitten more often" and "noticing bites more often"?
• did the study include any trans people and were their results any different? if yes were they on HRT or not?
• how similar were the men and women in aspects other than gender? do we know their social class, jobs, diets, blood types?

because in fact the study i made up just then could lead to a huge variety of conclusions. from my description above you can't tell the difference between studies that show:

• mosquitoes are attracted to people with higher estrogen levels
• mosquitoes are opportunistic and women spend more time near mosquito habitats for sociocultural reasons
• every gender gets bitten about the same amount but men are socialised to pay less attention to physical discomfort so more of them don't notice minor bites compared to women (and by more we mean like 60-40, this is a bell curve thing)
• we accidentally got heaps of women in the study that have the mosquito's favourite blood type and not so for the men, oops
• mosquitoes are attracted to people with more x and y in their diets, which is currently mostly women for, again, largely sociocultural reasons

etc etc etc

you're just not going to understand actual Gender Science, and therefore reality, if you can't put "hmm, but what do they mean by woman this time" in your mental toolkit in a relatively neutral way.
