ill die on the hill that batman, superman, the hulk, and spider-man are the four definitive superhero archetypes

every other comic book superhero falls somewhere within the the venn diagram of the four “what about Wonder Woman?” when I say definitive you have to consider the gender politics of their formative years

Super strong? From somewhere outside of human civilization? can fly? superman

Let’s talk about justified anger.

I transitioned in 2018. I’m coming up on almost five years. I’ve been around long enough to see a culture war evolve in real time. I was in transition when JKR let the mask slip and went all in.

🧵 I was in transition during the trump administration when it was decided that the community would become the experiment in stripping medical autonomy from others. I was there when the tactic is used against us laid the groundwork for revoking roe through discrediting of doctors

I am sitting in my idling car in the parking lot. It is late-morning Sunday. The grocery is busy, but not as busy as it will get when the hour clicks past noon and the world of the Midwest rouses to make chili and casseroles.

I’m gonna go inside. As a woman.

🧵 I have done the work; I’m dressed in jeans and a sweater, with a jacket bundled overtop. I’m wearing an infinity scarf that looks large and billowing on my squat 5’5 frame (It would come down to 5’3 over the next couple of years)

hasbro just laid off 1100 people a week before christmas, most of them being artists. while reading up on it, I saw that they had posted a job listing for a digital artist not long ago with specific needs:



I’m gonna explain how disgusting this is

1/3simplyhired.com/job/ljRoeATEvQ… ppl know I have a BA in English, but I also have an associates in graphic design. I worked in the industry for over a decade

the below might just seem like a wall of buzzwords, but it’s not. I know what this is

if you don’t have artists, whose artwork are you touching up?

2/

god forbid your moral stance is “hey maybe using the munitions equivalent of two atomic bombs on a civilian populated area also fucking sucked when america did it the first time”

euromedmonitor.org/en/article/590… idk maybe it’s because, as I’ve said many many times before, I remember Afghanistan and Iraq just a little too well

“what rights do I have that transgenders don’t have”

well you don’t carry the burden of explaining the kings english to the yeehaw neckbeard midnight society on a daily basis with new lessons added every single fucking day of your existence do you wake up every day like oh cool the guy who blows up rockets and named his kid the internet decided we’re gonna get to talk about latin today

being an American reading about places in the uk I have zero familiarity with hits some sort of place between quaint and these are not real people

rogue legacy 2 is on ps plus and my goodness do I love these games. I don’t usually play rogue likes, but something about the personality, art style, mechanics, and gameplay loop just clicks

these are like my warm blanket games Like you can play for fifteen minutes or two hours and get a full enjoyable experience

another strange dream

I found myself walking in my old gayborhood, and it was it’s summer celebration. The world was green and warm and there were chalk drawings on the streets.

As I was walking I came across my old apartment - the last place in my old life I was happy

🧵 Oh friends this place was lovely; wooden floors, high ceilings. Small, but comfortable. The hall to the bathroom was just slightly skewed.

I looked up and saw that there were people working outside of that old apartment on the second floor on scaffolding

haven’t done this in a bit let’s see how it goes

ngl.link/girldrawsghosts oh my gosh 💜💜💜 thank you

oh no

gasp am I a slutttt

judas by fozzy shouldn’t be as good as it is lol

like it’s supremely cheesy lyrically, but it’s such a god damn earworm

that being said the video does a good job of exploring that with Jericho being so self serious while the background is nonsense

credit where it’s due he’s a good singer

started playing wolfenstein Youngblood, and tho it’s very different and designed for co-op, it seems to work well in single player with an ai buddy

the leads are the twin daughters of blazko, who lovingly refer to each other with masculine names

so that’s vibes you also now pick up shit just by walking over it THANK FUCKING GOD

it’s a much faster paced game, and has some light rpg elements with enemies have levels, but the banter is great and the occupied paris 1980 setting is rad

if I could reboot a nightmare on elm street I’d do something pretty controversial: focus it on freddy krueger and flip the narrative
I’d devote at least a half hour to the events leading up to his murder, revealing to be an absolute asshole townie - who is innocent

🧵 He’d absolutely be a bad person; vindictive, violent, and a general asshole, but an easy patsy for the child murders that have plagued the town

this would make his revenge more focused, and allow us to *enjoy* the bugs bunny aspects that became synonymous with the character

Wolfenstein the old blood was a lot of fun; like a trimmed down more focused version of The New Order (not that TNO is a bad game)

if you liked the alternate history WW2 prequel and missed the occult stuff from the old games, check it out in many ways it’s kind of a remake of Return To Castle Wolfenstein merged with Wolfenstein 2009, bringing the narratives together to coherently fit with The New Order

the next final destinations gonna have to open with like a fuckin space station explosion to divorce itself enough from reality these days me watching final destination 2 in 2003: man I’m glad I’m a safe driver

me watching final destination 2 in 2023: well at least a high velocity log is quick

if you don’t see that the entirety of the so-called “trans athlete debate” is centered on perpetuating patriarchal stereotypes about strength, speed, and proficiency,

well

you haven’t been paying attention to how women athletes are paid less despite doing the same work I mean I’d be pissed as hell as a cis woman if someone told me a trans woman was inherently better than me at something I’ve trained my whole life for

“I hate living in this moment of history”

maybe we’re living it because we’re the right people to fix it

nobody would have chose this

history is filled with unwilling heroes.

I’m at my legit limit with having every aspect of my life t-boned by a fringe group of religious nut job capitalists and who have to fuck up the entire government to catch a win

like I’ve pivoted from being exhausted to genuine “enough from the clown” anger. when you systematically disenfranchise everyone to facilitate a world view nobody else has the tolerance for only one side is going to be surprised by how hard the other can go when it comes toe-to-toe

we’re all fighting to be happy

what’s one more septuagenarian to go through?

pride as a riot this year

just as a little treat y’all think queers can’t start some shit?

I learned to wear heels at 33. You have no idea what my capacity is

I wasn’t as high on once upon a time in hollywood as others, but it’s easily tarantino’s funniest script

“I remember you, you were on a horsey! Your name is…”

“I’m the devil and I’m here to do the devils business”

“naw it was somethin dumber than that. like Rex.” I think I’ve just cooled on his edgelord aspects. Inglorious Basterds and The Hateful Eight we’re both very good, but I’m just like, not really that high on the guy himself anymore. Too much weird baggage.
