the thing about queer exclusionism besides being blatantly hypocrytic is that it treats being opressed and discriminated as something meriting authority within the community. "youre not opressed so you cant be part of our community" who are you to decide what counts as opression? how can you judge an experience you havent lived? queerness has so many levels and intersections with other factors that you will never be able to completely santise it to your liking. there will always be people and labels that you dont understand and distinctions you think are futile in the grand scheme of things, but you have to learn to be civil towards them, you have to learn about intersectionality. you cant decide who is "opressed enough" opression doesnt have levels, its not something you can rate, its something you fight against and thats it. if you want to defeat opression, you cant use it as a unit of measurement.

#sorry i usually dont post things like this i just saw too many idiots today #and i am in no way trying to pose myself as an authority on this topic #i have my own set of pet peeves and things and labels i dont understand the application of #but you will never see me exclude someone from being queer based on the opression argument #queer community #queer

sing my lullaby [ keegan p. russ ]

m' so tired just wanna give him a smooch n cuddle

cw: none, fluff, civilian & fem!reader, keegan n' cute aggressions.

When Keegan gets home from deployment, his biggest present is nothing but the comforting warmth of your body. Clothed in his t-shirt that was too big for you, your body was sprawled across the bed, the sweet sight brought a warm smile to his face. In careful silence, he leaned his weight onto the bed, letting his knee sink into the plush sheets, adoring your drooling face of dreaming.

His hands are so cold, making you whine as his hands slip under his your shirt. Cold palms gently rub your belly as he curls into the crook of your neck, kissing the soft flesh. Soft murmurs leave your lips, words incoherent even in silence until your dry voice croaks into his hair,

"Keegan...?" Although cracked from sleep, in his eyes, your lips move like soft clouds of the heavens as they utter his name. Your voice too angelic to be speaking such cursed name of a war criminal, his husky voice hushs you softly, lulling you back to sleep as his arms weigh on your body like bulky stones. "Missed you."

The strings of his heart tighten, utterly infatuated with you. Such simple words, only two words, has his eyes burning as he stared at your closed eyes, unable to restrain the beam of affection the grew on his face.

"Missed you too, princess." His heart empties itself in silence as he leans his body on top of yours, chests colliding as he purrs into your skin in satisfaction, kissing the shoulder exposed by the collar of his shirt. Two hands in motion, one twisting your hair, even when you told him not to mess with it, the other gently caressing your tummy. He wants to crawl into your skin, nibble on your supple, silken skin until it's all he wants, because it is all he wants.

Warm turned cold as your voice rang with an irritated whine, lazily searching for the blanket. His smile only deepened with adoration, lips sluggish to kiss your cheek, the hand you saw as the bane of your bad hair days reached for the duvet. Warmth envelopes both of your figures, even so, your bodies stay interlaced, his hand returning to cup your head.

You murmur in your sleep again, an exhausted chuckle escaping Keegans lips as your hands rises to pet his hair. His face heats up, his vision blurry as he melts into you, his most cherished woman, as the urge of sleep overtakes him mind. Quiet arpeggios echo in his ear, rich sounds even with your dry throat. Still damp, your hands caressed his hair, working like a tender pacifier, soothing his aching body to join yours into the mindless azure of sleep.

He missed this, your voice, your soft hands. Keegan missed brushing his lips on your warm, supple skin, foolishly doing anything that you pleased. His body relaxed against yours, the weight of war rescinding from his strained shoulders. His hands paused, trembling in overwhelming love, heart rippling under the trained muscle across his chest as he pressed his nose further into your neck.

He wants to squeeze you in his arms until your head feels like it'll pop, he wants to memorize every millimeter of your perfect skin, he wants- needs to know every little of your body. He wants to pinch your cheeks until you squeal, wants to make sure eyes inch of your visible skin.

He sighs into your skin, mind numbing with your gentle tune that easily tamed his thoughts for the morning after, when he knew he could pinch and bite at you, even to your feigning of dismay, he knew you loved it.

Keegan knew you loved him, just as much as he loved you.

Aabria Iyengar I slam my staff on the ground, revealing it to be that tall, jagged glass spire of the citadel.

To Shape A Dragon’s Breath

YA fantasy

a young Indigenous girl finds & bonds with a dragon hatchling - the first time in many generations for her people - and is required to go to the coloniser’s dragon academy in their mainland city, to learn how to raise her dragon and the science of its magic

historical inspired setting on the cusp of industrial revolution with steampunk vibes

bi polyamorous MC, Black lesbian SC, nonverbal autistic SC

#To Shape A Dragon’s Breath #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is really really good i loved it! #the chapter titles are all like snippets of a story. or like sentence fragments that match up. which is cool #it is definitely more about being indigenous in a coloniser institution than Dragon School - not Super dragon heavy if you want that #I suspect the subsequent books will get into that when she gets big enough to ride and stuff #t’s also def YA! i’ve seen a few ppl assume it’s adult and be like its very young :( but like. I mean its perfectly reasonable for a 15yo m #definitely a Lot of racism and colonialism which is not fun to read! though it's still through a YA lens. there was def a part of me that #was imagining consequences of the narrative as if it were an adult novel #on that line of thought - at the end a lot of it is kind of solved by them going to the king and he's is like. oh no racism is happening? #that's bad i'll deal with those people! which felt like. a little simplistic. but maybe the easiest way to end the narrative for book 1 - #I don't think the author ACTUALLY is going to portray the king as a Good Guy throughout the series - it just felt conveniently like - #a simple YA solution to some very big and complex elements? if that makes sense? (but again - it is YA so it's allowed I suppose!) #some of the worldbuilding (like all the science learning) is probably setup for next books - we don’t really see any practical application #the romances are also subtle and not Overbearing In Book One which i like - leave some space for the series! #also her getting fanmail from a 10yo mixed race girl who looks up to her 🥺 #anyway. i really loved it! #oh also it reminded me a little of leviathan. i guess just the steampunk/time period/european culture.... #To Shape A Dragon's Breath

Norea, who did a terrorist attack on a school and murdered a teenager on live space tv in front of thousands of people: hey nika did you know its your fault my home base is being attacked rn. its your fault because of all the info you weren’t able to tell anyone since we kidnapped you before you could tell anyone anything. yeah.

#gundam the witch from mercury #nika nanaura #norea du noc #gwitch spoilers #gundam the witch from mercury spoilers #like nika is naive af but norea is suuuuuch a little hypocrite lol #all the authorities know is that nika might be connected to the terrorists #so unless your gang was stupid enough to literally make their home base her home address on her school application #she literally cannot be the cause of the attack this ep

Riptide’s themes of found family mean so much to me. 

Pirate crews are literally found families IN THE TEXT.  The way Roofus talks about the Black Rose crew choosing to collectively raise Chip and Lizzie. Jay’s arc can be read as being about the disconnection with one’s birth family experienced by many queer ppl. ALMOST EVERY CONVERSATION WITH DREY. Ollie is basically the Albatrio’s son.

I AM A SUCKER FOR FOUND FAMILY TROPE, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT DON’T JUST REPLICATE NORMATIVE FAMILY STRUCTURES!11!!1!!!!...!

ishouldmakeapowerpointpresentation...

#jrwi riptide #riptide is such a good example of different applications of queer theory #it's mostly coincidental #BUT I COULD TOTALLY EXPLAIN QUEER MEDIA THEORY USING ONLY EXAMPLES FROM RIPTIDE #i already talked about alienation from birth family #and chosen families #but the whole crew has varying roles and dynamics within it #gillion's got a whole thing going on with gnc #chip's never beating the allegations #if i was gonna go 3 monsters deep into a death of the author (tm) queer reading rant #i could say that pirates as a faction/subculture/??? within the world disrupt heteronormative structures #which VIA our Jay-centric view of them the Navy predominantly represent #jrwi riptide spoilers #i have so many thoughts #but so little attention #krow posts

man another thing that's been very nice about having moved out of my dad's house is that... i am under no obligation to convey anything to anyone <3 i don't have to tell my parents about my doctor appointments, i don't have to tell people my intentions, i don't have to defend making purchases or arranging my life in a way that makes things easier or more pleasant because people don't even have to know about these things in the first place.

it's really fucking nice.

#experienced the unfortunate combination of 'pathological anti-liar' and 'being a fucking doormat by nature or whatever' #and 'controlling father that has to know everything and will directly curtail any attempts at privacy with guilt and authority' #that i sometimes compulsively try to make someone understand things about me even when it the direct outcome of such is unpleasant #here's to breaking these habits lads #discovering that i can do things and have preferences without going to protestant hell or even worse dealing with my dad #i can even pay my Idiot Tax without the external application of guilt #that is payments or late fees or forgetting to return something that doesn't fit and et cetera #that sometimes come up on account of being a fucking mess LMAO and would be less of a thing if i achieved a level of organization #that i simply will not realistically reach at this juncture but am generally working on getting myself in order for #i just make sure i routinely set aside a lil money for potential mistakes and i deal with them as they come #without the song and dance of being actively and repeatedly scolded as an adult for regular person mistakes #prattling about the self #edit to note that yeah i know there are times when i should convey things to people but you know what i mean

another interesting thing is that fascism warping perceptions of artistic beauty in the regions where it flourished was and still is a very real phenomenon, but if you think that fascist art was just soooo good intrinsically and that that made it useful for indoctrinating people you've very much got it backwards (as op of that post pointed out). read Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco for free online

#chatter #shameless special interest plug but i really do think everyone could benefit from reading this play #i'm not going to claim to agree with all of ionesco's views etc etc... #he was a left-wing thinker who felt alienated by leftist spaces due to his absolute disdain for any kind of authority or structure #and he allowed that to push him towards centrist/right-wing anarchism later in life which was pretty stupid and self-centered of him #but as a romanian christian with a jewish parent who was racialized as jewish by the nazis and had to flee france during ww2 because of tha #rhinoceros offers a really valuable perspective of what he witnessed among his peers during his time in france leading up to ww2 #and this perspective is widely applicable when discussing the cultural ramifications of fascism #ok infodump over

"this social psychology experiment proves humans are inherently cruel and domineering!" "no this other social psychology experiment proves humans are inherently kind and cooperative!" everyone learn that singular experiments cannot be taken as conclusive proof of anything + consider that perhaps literally no amount of social psychology studies will ever "prove" any kind of inherent, all-encompassing moral truth about all of humanity and will only ever be an example of possible group conduct in certain conditions, in a certain culture and time, among certain people

#97 #sorry for the occasional random complaining about psych experiments #but truly theyre soooo irritating #bc theyre flashy and kinda fun to learn about so people know abt them quite a bit #but theyre never presented with like. #the necessary understanding of the scientific method or proper balancing of their claims to qualify what exactly they supposedly show. #so instead people are just encouraged to draw the simplest conclusions. #often misanthropic ones bc of how badly done many of these so-called experiments are (and i do not recognize many of these as experiments #due to the lack of application of the scientific method eg researcher intervention lack of control group etc) #(and not being reproducible quite often as well) #(imo shit like for example most infamous stanford prison experiment but also many others are just demonstrations.) #(not a scientific experiment. did not involve the scientific method. just some guy doing ethical misconduct in a basement.) #not hating on psych research as a field btw i literally would like to do psych research #however the way cherrypicked flashy and impressive or shocking isolated experiments are placed front and center in the popular understandin #of psych imo just misinforms the public greatly and often about like. yknow stuff you probably dont want to ingrain into people? #like. for example if you want to talk about the way perceived authority can lead many people to commit acts they morally dont agree with? #yes the milgram experiment is like a good thing to learn about imo. #however that experiment is like.. almost coupled in the popular consciousness w again the stanford prison scientific mishandling #and its conclusion is broadened to 'if given the chance all people will brutalize and abuse other people' #when the kindest possible interpretation of that mess is that if you take milgrams experiment but the researchers are in denial that #they are also inducing obedience to authority and also theyre using real people as the abused subject instead of an actor #and also every subject selected is a college aged white man whos interested in prison environments #then yes it turns pretty fucking bad. #but its not about the nature of humanity. its about an event of that obedience to authority leading some very specific subjects #who are not representative of the general population whatsoever #into behaviors which should never have been allowed to take place in an ethical research environment

finsihed reading jonny appleseed by joshua whitehead last night 😢 wtf do i do now .

being disabled is confusing. what am i supposed to do with all this deeply-ingrained training to work hard and serve others when if i move too much or think too hard i'll collapse. how am i supposed to mourn with those who mourn when if i have too strong of an emotion it will make me so dizzy and nauseous i have to go lie down.

#it's a very good thing that years of neurodivergence already taught me the skill of saying 'when authority figures say #'try harder' they mean those guys who are goofing off in the corner--not me because i'm already putting in probably more effort than #anyone expects.' #because i would not have survived conference otherwise. #how am i supposed to live laugh love in these conditions #<-hold on wait i was gonna say something else but that tag autofilled and you know what? i think it's applicable

o-KAY!

threw together some dough for bread last night but ended up shoving it into the fridge because I came down with a sudden migraine and opted for bed instead. Plus side - I get fresh bread this morning!

I had to fill out a form for school since i missed applying for our grad requirements workshop (so I can graduate at the end of the semester!)

Now, working on reading a couple articles for class tonight, as well as continuing my work to compile potential book resources for my capstone.I need to find close to 20 books which will then be whittled down to 10 which will be put into an annotated bibliography, and then 3 of those will be what I am reading and responding to in my final research paper :')

** the gorgeous prints i bought from adambcreates on the etsy. y'know when you see some art and, within it, yourself? yea.

#i honestly really dont mind and even enjoy this part of the project where i just get to dig for authors and books its a lot of fun #i also need to decide on my approach of my independent study class which will be tied in with my capstone but will deal with a slightly mor #specific lense and much more empirical and ethnographic research/materials #i need to decide so i can finish the application to DO the class and move on with my life lol this smester is going to be so intense but #i know i will only be better for it #studyblr #eggplant does research #cest moi #adambcreates
