Ppl dont seem to realise that "only perceivably queer people should have access to queer spaces and support" and "nobody is obligated to out themselves to you and nobody needs to provide proof of their sexuality/identity" CANNOT coexist.
People are very quick to say "nobody should ever be forced out of the closet, there is no one way to be queer" but then throw a fit when someone who isnt visibly gay plays a gay character or when someone who isnt officially out acts in a ~queer way~.
Also, sometimes the person you think is the poster child for cisheterosexuality is in fact incredibly queer because that's the way they feel happiest presenting. And sometimes the person you're dead certain is queer is cishet and just really cool about it. And you will never be able to tell the difference on sight and that is a good thing.
i like the term "gallows humor" because it always makes me think of someone getting sentenced to death and being like "i have GOT to be the funniest person at my public execution"
ALTin an interesting case of linguistic convergent evolution, the english words scale, scale, and scale are all false cognates of each other
scale as in „to climb“ comes from the latin scala, for ladder.
scale as in the measuring device comes from the old norse skal, for a drinking vessel sometimes used as a weighing device
scale as in the dermal plating on the skin of some fish and reptiles comes from the old french escale, for shell or husk.
Three languages enter, one language leaves.
somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
also draw transmasc characters with tits and transfem characters without them sometimes its good for you. degender boobs and lack thereof now
From Wikipedia:
“The chain was acquired by Bed Bath & Beyond in 2003, though the Bilezikians remained involved in its executive operations…. Bed Bath & Beyond sold Christmas Tree Shops and its Middleborough, Massachusetts distribution center to Handil Holdings, a private company, for an undisclosed amount in November 2020.”
Oh look, yet another (or rather the same) “sell to a private company and then blame the customers for its failing” example of our capitalist economy. Yay.
YUP. There was nothing wrong with that chain, it had enormous brand loyalty and dedicated customers and was always crowded and every time I went there I spent tons of unnecessary money -- but it was sold to a company not interested in running a retail store chain and just interested in selling the parts.
And despite all the many billionaires running around none of them could be bothered to step in to save an established chain of stores with a deep customer base because late-stage capitalism is more about abstractions than anything tangible at this point.
