#booktwt
& on substack where i publish "snapshot paragraphs," book reviews, & more!🌺 goodreads linked in bio! i take notes for every current read, here's the master thread:
@bis3xualism
@filmsexuals
I have a working theory that all of these "You Go Girl" commercials telling you to suck it up put on a tampon and be active is not feminism but capitalist propaganda to just keep us working.... like we are meant to rest during those times there's nothing wrong with that
i CANNOT F U C K I N G BELIEVE a trans lesbian posted about being misgendered by a cishet man who got invited to what was supposed to be a queer safe space by his bi gf (YES IT MATTERS HE WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN BEEN THERE OTHERWISE IT WAS A DINNER) & y'all called OP biphobic, (1/2)
@AlexPetrovnia
@theafronerd
@surlybassey
I'm Senegalese, this tragedy feels like yesterday in my country. I encourage you to watch "The Massacre at Thiaroye" by Ousmane Sembene, it is a film about this
@RealHoneyMa
no yeah. exactly. in older pics I've seen her wearing suits etc. it's clear that her preferred style is masculine. that shouldn't take away from her womanhood, and she shouldn't have to do this to prove a point to a bunch of transphobic shits.... :(
blamed OP for not sucking it up & "just correct him", "it was probably an accident" & "it's not even that deep you just wanted to hate on bi women"EVEN THOUGH OP PROVIDED CONTEXT AND THAT MAN KNEW OP FOR A WHOLE FUCKING YEAR Y'ALL SOUND LIKE TRANSPHOBIC CONSERVATIVES (2/2)
@makeupbyshaniah
what on earth is in everybody's algorithms bc I simply do not see all this crazy shit y'all keep mentioning (feeling very lucky ab it tho)
@_haaniyah_
when Lily James said she was sad that Pam didn't want it.. as if this is some fckn empowering sexual saga and they're doing her some sort of favor/justice by telling it, when it's actually them speaking over her + further exploiting her image
it's wild bc the mayo marauders will JUMP to say "so what?? they were just a kid!" ?? & so were the children who had to be on the receiving end of racism. y'all r ok w/ just saying "racism is bad!" but u don't wanna go further than that. (1/2)
@vancedalism
ppl don't realize that intersectionality goes both ways, not only can you be oppressed on multiple fronts at once but there is such thing as an OPPRESSED OPPRESSOR.
@ItsZaeOk
no bc- the only song by her I've ever played is vroom vroom, she was never on my radar until this.. this is childish I'm sorry. Not a music crictic, not a producer, but a STAN ACC got her this worked up??? Over an opinion 😭
@Towmiiee
the focus was not on her at all, OP provided context to a real life experience, even if they never said she's bi it would be heavily implied bc how else would a cishet man get into a queer dinner
WATCH THE FILM "CAMP DE THIAROYE" BY OUSMANE SEMBÉNE. This tragedy happened in my country, Senegal. The city of Thiaroye is just one hour from where I live. Ousmane was drafted into the Senegalese Tirailleurs in 1944. He witnessed this massacre firsthand.
"queer femininity" but they're dressed like a 1950s housewife who washes down handfuls of tranquilizer with gin to distract herself from her monotonous prison of a life
@soggymoggy3
@chrissychlapp
after graduating I made an oath to myself that I would only make queer friends, would avoid cishet ppl at all costs unless it's absolutely necessary. my life has been blissful ever since
@pierrefleury_
oh most definitely, I did the same as a child. I feel so bad for him; what is a little boy going to do with a jewelry showcase ?? he used his own son's birthday as an opportunity to show off >:(
@mattxiv
I just wanna know what kind of social connections the fruity canadian sci-fi pop gremlin and the trans ex-Army wikileaks scandal woman would even have in common like
@zhurris
this one time in middle school a popular vietnamese kid who we all knew as "Robert" got called to the office by his real name, "Minh Anh." We were like "bro why would u go by Rob ur name is fckn fire" he just shrugged & said his parents made him with a sad look on his face :(
@lovedoveclarke
as a Black nonbinary lesbian who also enjoys hyperfeminine fashion u inspire me a lot and it saddens me so much to see u get dogpiled so senselessly almost every single day. i cannot fathom why. just heartbreaking. lots of love to you.
@depressedcatxx
@HECVTE
her father came here as a refugee from palestine.. her being here is a result of strength and survival. she didn't ask to be born here anyway and clearly speaks out on these issues
Racism isn't just bad, racism is violent & pervasive. Racism harms & traumtizes. Racism KILLS.
But u don't wanna hear that. You don't wanna confront the fact that u didn't just "make a mistake," u were VIOLENT.
Quick to victimize the villain & villify the victim. (2/2).
@MrNigelNg
My eye is actually twitching why is she flipping the fork over to use the rounded side when she has a spoon right there a fork is meant to spear a fork has prongs she has completely destroyed the purpose of forks and she has a spoon RIGHT. THERE!
@noisylemonade
@mattxiv
yeah honestly with a hook like that it was definitely attention-grabbing but also tone deaf so the mission was failed successfully lol
@EmodiMba
@AlexPetrovnia
@theafronerd
@surlybassey
yes, that was my mistake. not too worried though, bc ppl will see it anyway as soon as they Google Ousmane Sembene :)
The English are regularly trashed, but the French truly do not receive enough outrage for me...
@itszaeok
YES SHE WAS! so many ppl purposefully misinterpreted her tbh. she even put up another vid explaining that one on it's one year anniversary 💀 and it honestly inspires me
@sonochinosad
@sarahlugor
nah, he never did actually. he would hang from trees by his feet, not his tail. the Mandela effect is what makes ppl think he DID have a tail. As for why he doesn't have one, it's been theorized that he's actually an ape and not a monkey
@jaxajueny
@itszaeok
everything's better with perry >>>>
summer>>>>
robot riot>>>>
izzy's got the frizzies>>>>
most of these songs r from the movie but whatever
@femme_valentine
"cosplaying straight couples" just say you hate gender non-conforming ppl and GO
oooo ppl have no idea how lucky they are i can't put my hands on them through this screen
@monetsupremacy_
literally the only song by him I've ever heard and I still know it's "whatcha do, oo whatcha do, made a move, coulda made a move" etc etc
"loving men is nothing to be ashamed of 🥺" why r u mad about a lesbian joking about their dislike for men. go somewhere else bc i really don't know what u were expecting. clearly u don't get the joke bc u don't have the perspective & ur ignorance is proving OP's punchline
this can be slightly funny as a joke coming from a person attracted to men
in general this sentiment really sucks and is so unproductive
loving men is nothing to be ashamed of so let's stop acting like it is!
@y33zussss
@playguycarty
pyramids really goes from "the opulence of ancient Egypt, rise and fall of Cleopatra" to "I fell in love with a stripper" in narrative fucking format 😭
@mattxiv
this is so funny to me bc as a cuddly lesbian when i see an attractive male-presenting person I'm like awh he's so pretty but in a squishy way, not a drooling way.. you've got the hip bones out and everything and I'm just like "he looks like he gives good hugs :)" 😭
@DynastyNoire
@gbennylola
@moneyymaya
THANK YOU. Coming from a culture that uses waist beads, I was so shocked and disgusted to see people appropriating what is for us, a symbol of femininity, sensuality, maturity, and matrimony, and turning it into a fucking diet culture fad
I'm non binary & AFAB & also very femme. Which means I heavily present as a cis woman. Which means that I have a privilege in not being visibly trans. Which means that I do not have the right to take up space in certain convos ab transphobia. & a lot of y'all need to do the same.
You can dress however you want! just know that if you are calling it "queer femininity" when you are dressed like Jacqueline Kennedy I'm laughing at you
@runningonne
@Khemanist
@ThandekaMdlul10
letting them know where you're going vs having to ask for permission to even leave in the first place are 2 different things
one is for safety and the other is the parents being controlling
@mattxiv
"Both brighten up the room and make you feel like the queen you are" can we talk about how nasty it is that a gay man in this context is only good for boosting the ego of a cishet woman. God forbid he have his own life and interests that exists outside of her own
