I just found out about "Bibby Stockholm", a british floating prison, I feel sick. "In July 2023, an open letter signed by over 50 NGOs, MPs and peers called on the barge's owner, Bibby Marine, part of Bibby Line, to acknowledge its founder John Bibby's links to the Atlantic slave trade and to end the practice of containing asylum seekers on its vessels."

this is so fucked up. wtf

I talked to a trans femme teen yesterday who told me to not use slurs (faggot, tranny) and I think people like to blame social media for these kids being so tenderqueer-y, but this kid also told me that of the 1,400 kids in her art school, there is lots of out gay, trans masc and non-binary AFAB kids but only 10 t-femmes, and I saw in her and this other trans femme teen I know this harsh assimilationist streak (they want to go stealth, strive for conventional beauty standards, jealous of the cis het white blonde girls) because they barely have a community and so it becomes a place to survive.

The internet is this boogieman that distorts what is the consensus. It has a selection bias of hyper isolated, neurodivergent, and anxious people who are just looking to survive

I look at queer kids with annoying conservative opinions I don't see the solution being "internet stop sucking" - the assimilationist woodworking "Cross Dressing Quarterly" trannies of the 90's didn't need TikTok to get this way, it was the violence of the closet.

I see the problem being them being scared kids - what bell hooks calls "the most oppressed class" and I see the solution being a more porous, safe community between kids and adults (outside of the nonprofit industrial complex that uses queer youth spaces to condescend, infantalize, and give resources in a nondemocratic way)

We always say "protect trans kids" and it's worth queer adults of all types toughing through bigotry and accusatory stares to find these kids, build relationships, give resources and love them. All we have is each other. We protect us. Us tranny faggots

I've always loved this image.

Judging from how Yor suddenly looks so cute, I consider this Twilight's first activation of the Yor Forger shojo filter. Also, to me, it represents a major turning point in the Twiyor relationship.

It directly follows the starting changes in perception Twilight and Yor had of each other.

Namely:

This moment, where Twilight's statement about self sacrifice resonated so deeply she actually teared up.

And this:

It's easy to gloss over this moment, but I think it's significant for the following reasons: throughout his life we see that Twilight had to endure shitty situations and bad injuries and no one had ever saved him. Yor was his unexpected saviour, just as he had been for her moments ago. Yor instinctively chose to save him despite buying his flimsy excuse that his assailant was a patient he was treating.

Notably, after this moment, he never has an overtly unkind thought or opinion about her (such as thinking of her as a simpleton), seems eager to impress her and becomes defensive over her when she is slighted.

This first 'date' overturned a lot of things in Twilight's usual seduction methods.

For one, nothing went as planned. One of things that did make me wonder if he was more set on Yor being his wife than he realised was that he still turned up at the party to potentially brave Yor's wrath despite being so late (keep in mind she had already been humiliated by Camilla by this point and had earlier concluded that Loid had been playing her. If Yor was like any other normal woman..).

It would be actually quite normal to assume that he blew his chances and to try again with another woman. Instead, he was so eager to show up at the party that he got sloppy on his mission. Then, there was also the "Hi I'm Yor's husband" slip-up (was it really?). In fact, if we were to go back a little further, we see that he changed his own tune pretty quickly once Yor approached him to be her fake boyfriend.

For another, Yor overturns his usual methods by skipping over his complex plans of fake courtship to propose marriage with a concise outline of the benefits.

This, to me, really sets Yor apart as a woman ahead of her time - one who goes for what she wants despite societal expectations and gender norms, something which is also implied by how she took it upon herself to be the breadwinner and raise her brother, and how she focused her efforts on elevating him academically by buying him books and stationery. And it is also Yor who managed to advance the development of Loid and Yor's relationship and get them both where they wanted.

No wonder Twilight feels like he has only been going with the flow with the way Anya and Yor steer their relationships with him.

This also sets up the stage for her fake marriage with Loid and their relationship - both are aware that it is a marriage of convenience and partnership for mutual benefit. This is especially important - because Twilight can't fool himself into thinking that whatever fondness he has for her is an affectation of his Loid persona or an obligation to keep up the charade of being in love, when they are not romantically involved.

Whatever feelings they develop for the family and each other are real.

Hilariously, it also makes me think of this:

It struck me as him thinking, yes, I can finally put in motion all the date ideas I have been preparing since I decided to fake woo her.

Every single craft has been paying “The Passion Tax” for generations. This term (coined by author and organizational psychologist Adam Grant) — and backed by scientific research — simply states that the more someone is passionate about their work, the more acceptable it is to take advantage of them. In short, loving what we do makes us easy to exploit.

this is a confession to the star wars fandom because I have to get this off my chest. last summer just for fun I taught myself to read aurebesh and. you fanartists have Got to Continue putting the most Hilarious stuff into the background of your art because it is literally my favorite thing

here’s a couple of excellent things I’ve read since I started keeping a list just last month:

- “I hate drawing lightsabers”

- “Idk what to put here”

- “stupid fucking sign”

- “eat paste, it’s good”

- an entire news article on a phone screen which I actually found really impressive

- a few funny misspellings but the best one so far was ahsoka somehow becoming “asock”

- wanted poster of obi wan that read “wanted for fashion crimes”. the caption translated it as “wanted for high treason”. like blatantly lying to my face. love it.

- door on a ship was labeled “cake storage”

- “shopping list: frogs, hair gel, lightsaber polish”

and my personal favorite:

- “if you’re reading this you’re a fucking nerd”
