that moment when someone in a trans facebook group posts an intro excitedly claiming your deadname and you’re happy for them but also feel deeply surreal about it all

what i meant to say was “thanks for your email. unfortunately Alice Isn’t Dead hasn’t really been targeting the Entitled Solipsist demographic. good luck avoiding content warnings in your other free media consumption.”

this is hilarious this guy is going to tell his friends not to listen to this because of what it has in it. what’s it called, again, what’s the name for it, when you tell someone what a piece of media has in it so that they can avoid it if they don’t want to see that? what’s that concept called
so with this haircut i was kind of waffling between just getting a pixie cut and getting a full-on undercut, and i was hesitant abt the undercut b/c i was a little worried it would be a bit too in-your-face aggressively queer for a grad school interview, but then i was like “eh, fuck it, the difference in ‘offensiveness to conservative fuddy-duddies’ between an electric purple undercut and an electric purple pixie cut is probs a rounding error” and just went with it, but ironically i think it’s actually less edgy now? like, it kind of just makes me look like a generic 20-something gay guy, and like, that’s obvs not rlly what i’m going for generally, but for the purposes of infiltrating an institute of higher education i’m kind of ok with it? i just find it funny that the thing i thought might be too over the line turns out to be less far over the line than the other thing i was thinking of going with

wow friend that is so many letters!
s: snakes. they’re such excellent floppy noodle friends? with their little wee tongues and their pretty lil heads and their curvy slinky bodies. truly we are blessed to have such creatures among us
e: electrons. electrons are rad! they can make atoms and molecules neutral so that they don’t all fly apart with great violence due to the unbalanced positive charge of protons. have you maintained bodily coherence today despite the electromagnetic forces lurking just beneath the surface waiting to tear you apart? thank an electron! (i would say thank many electrons, but i’m also super smitten with the idea (i think from feynman?) that there is only one electron bouncing back and forth (with positrons being that electron traveling backwards thru time), thus explaining why all electrons are so exceedingly identical to one another)
b: bismuth. what, did you think i was going to say bassoon? bismuth crystals are super pretty and all rainbow-like bismuth is excellent i am so happy it exists in the world
a: apples. sorry i don’t make the rules i am contractually obliged to give this answer there were times in college where i was eating like six of them a day SORRY NOT SORRY
t: textbooks. ok yes they are expensive and sometimes drier than the state of california but listen, someone (or really MANY someones) sat down and went thru a field of their expertise and pulled a bunch of info together and structured it in a thoughtful, deliberate way solely for the purpose of helping young eager people types learn things about this amazing marvelous flabbergasting world we live in. how is that not excellent? the execution is often lousy but the concept is A+
i: irony. does this even count as A Thing? whatever, i’m listing it. irony is great. i mean yes sometimes it means you carry around an umbrella unnecessarily and also like obvi there are times where it can be gut-wrenching and awful but listen as a storyteller i am basically required to gut-wrench occasionally and the sad kind of irony is a top-notch tool for doing that. the happier flavors are gr9 too, tho, and i feel like they don’t get a lot of love. it’s ok irony, i’m here for u bb
n: notebooks. the excellence of notebooks is a PROBLEM. i have so many. so. so. many. what do i do with them all?? i don’t even know. no one knows. it is a Great Mystery, not for the kenning of mere mortals. am i secretly a notebook-hoarding dragon? possibly. can neither confirm nor deny. hey, look over there! is that a notebook? no, no it is not. i have all of them. they are all mine
#tbh i don't really know what happened here#i was taking a break from writing a grad school essay and then . . .#(grad school essays are Not Excellent)#(no one is shocked)#things i like ask#about me#gpoy#food#apples#caps#textbooks#drought#irony#notebooks#bismuth#things that are excellent#physics#body horror#possibly#for the#electron#thing#snakes#noodle friends
(altho amusing side note: the person wishing one of my dangly accessories would get caught in a card reader for implying that the group they're a part of isn't fluent in the specific typographical idioms of tumblr... doesn't appear to be totally fluent in the typographical idioms of tumblr, at least as i understand them)

It’s peak irony that the craze of dog-breeding was partially inspired by the eugenics movement and now a hundred years later, all our purebred dogs are fucked up and sickly and die early. “Eugenics” created dysgenic pressure. Eugenics isn’t just bigoted and immoral, it’s pseudoscience as well.

It’s always the ones on dating/hookup apps who say “have a personality” who lack basic human conversational skills.
also s/o to all the faceless naked torsos on grindr with “face pic or no reply” as the only info on their profiles

WELL EWE HERD WRONG
This is some Courage the Cowardly Dog shit.
The Satanic Temple, an unlikely and productive ally in the fight for reproductive justice, is following through on a promise to sue the state of Missouri for enforcing antiabortion legislation, which Satanists believe impedes their free exercise of religion. The temple claims that by refusing to grant one of its members, identified as Mary Doe, an exemption to its 72-hour abortion waiting period, the state placed an undue burden on the woman’s religious beliefs in violation of Missouri’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

#why did they continue to make them??? #the only explanation is ideology
Are you telling me that such dedicated objectivists could have ignored the signals they were receiving from the market? I, for one, am shocked
no, no, no, it gets even better tho. when the first one was released, the blurb originally described the movie as bringing to life ayn rand’s tale of “heroism and self-sacrifice” (LOLZ). when diehard fans started sending them enraged e-mails (because of course), rather than buckling down like a proper objectivist and saying “look, you could see the product before buying it, you paid for it, tough luck” (you think i’m joking, but it is literally canon in atlas shrugged that it’s totes cool to build apartment complexes that you know are going to collapse and kill people b/c caveat emptor and all), the filmmakers set up a website where you could request a free replacement copy if you had bought one with a faulty blurb. everything about this movie is a colossal train wreck (. . . as it were), and it brings me so much schadenfreudey joy.
