Right. “You hate the troops” first gained traction as a sunk cost argument when the invasion became a quagmire. “If we stop now, that’s basically an admission that a bunch of our troops died for nothing. You’re pissing on their sacrifice… on their families’ sacrifice. Why do you hate them so much?”

The sexual metaphor in this film was so over-the-top that I got a bit uncomfortable with the general disregard for getting Jude Law’s consent for anything. Otherwise, a solid Cronenberg film.

Spiders Georg meme, but make it about how many times the average Bsky poster has been suspended.

Welp. Can’t resist such perfect timing, what with me on vacation all next week.

Mentally preparing for a “receipts are toxic” discourse…

Those are rather recent concerns. Satanism is meant to be a dark mirror of Catholicism, whose ceremonies were also in Latin up until the 1960s. It only takes a few older, prominent examples to cement a trope, so filmmakers don’t have to spend screen time re-explaining what audiences already know.

Okay, I’ll scroll back and see what all you’ve said. I appreciate you giving me as much time as you already have.

Congratulations! I’m still very new to all this, so I haven’t even figured out what I want yet, but I’m happy for you. 💜 Maybe that’s my disconnect. I’m already overwhelmed with so many labels to navigate (nonbinary? demi? pronouns? new name?), that I don’t see what makes *this* the bad one.

How so? Some people get surgery and/or take HRT, and some don’t. It doesn’t strike me as problematic to simply acknowledge this fact.

As someone who’s trans, but not part of any in-groups here, I have a question about this week’s discourse: How many trans people got mad at “cissexual” because they secretly agree that cis is a slur? I’m not a fan of “cissexual”, but the proper response is to propose an alternative, not… all this.
