something i have to remind myself is that the average person kinda sucks and most people often have bad takes, and that’s true for small minority groups. and obvi, the smaller the group, the smaller the sample size ppl meet. gender is also like a weird thing, since it’s intertwined with physical and social difference, and we’re living in a moment where i think both corporate and political interests are vested in amplifying what differences there are for their own gain. and, i think a lot of ppl early on in transition just don’t understand how to navigates themselves and the world, but idk

so, just to help you diversify the pool of women you know that are trans–i’ve got winter leg hair, and a whole lot of angst about how profoundly diluted a lot of feminist discourse is in america right now, even in academic circles lol

JD once said Trump is America’s Hitler; I always assumed he had changed his mind, but maybe he still believes it and the only difference is that JD now considers Hitler to be a model to follow.

me spending my precious, wild life stoking dated, astroturfed meme wars in a small, insular space to no real point (surely this strawscold will unite the left) while much of the western working class continues to support an ascendant, fascist order across the globe while passively consuming propaganda thru their algorithmic addiction

this article is over a year old…why post now?

Someone mentioned that leather is obvi very hot in full sun, but one other small detail missing from this discussion is that it being so hot becomes a bigger problem when you’re wearing shorts, skirts, etc. that expose skin on your thighs where they make contact with seat. Obvi, with current fashion standards this effects women way more then men, and has always struck me as one of those invisible, little ways that the world is designed by default by/for men (like with seat belt safety, high stools for presenters, etc.)

idk helen lewis is such an uninteresting writer

the wonderfully bizarre amount of detail (like the reporters on camera right outside the site) is what makes it so good to me
