Odin, Thor, and Freya all know that it is entirely too early in the morning for me to have to process this much concentrated racism

swing and a miss, Amazon algorithm a quick summary:

- there are well over 200,000 Choctaw enrolled in the three federally recognized Choctaw tribes alone
- Indigenous Americans are not a cultural monolith; there are hundreds, if not thousands, of extant peoples in North America alone

time to cook with some seed oils on a gas stove

just kidding, most vegetable oils are at least partly seed oils because that's where most of the fats are, and I haven't lived in a place with a gas stove since 2003

so in this series (a duology, thus far), the central characters are the physical incarnations of the Seven Deadly Sins, and they're all queer cis women

I just got to the first mention of their counterparts, the Seven Heavenly Virtues, and oh boy in addition to the usual misunderstanding of Gluttony being about indulgence in general and not just food, and some fat hate, it's said that Temperance is a "gym addict"

I don't think this author understands what "temperance" means

your original tweet was awful, but your assertions about the neurochemistry of emotion are overripe with misogyny and toxic masculinity

estrogen doesn't make you emotional any more than testosterone makes you stoic save for anger

everything you cite is cultural, not biological

look, @evelynharlow_, I don't give a fuck what you find attractive; the only people whose attractions I care about are those who are available, attainable, and what I like; you're the correct gender and good-looking but you're terminally straight and geographically inconvenient

currently watching episodes of Kitchen Nightmares on YouTube and seeing how far I can get before I get too pissed off at the chefs to continue

right now the chef is saying that they can't get fresh fish in Brighton (UK), in a storefront 100m from the beach

in BRIGHTON they pre-cooked the lobster and the mussels are all open

that's straight up gonna kill someone

tonight #sapphixywatches X2 (2003), the direct sequel to X-Men (2000), and the last time the franchise even bothered to try to make any timelines make sense (the next movie made such a mess that they made a soft reboot and then built off that timeline in ways that made it even more of a mess)

Tonight #sapphixywatches Clue (1985), based on the murder mystery board game of the same name*

*At least, in North America; I'm given to understand in Fucking Narnia Or Some Shit it's sold under the name "Cluedo" for reasons only known to lawyers and marketing This movie is notable for having been distributed with three different endings, so if you and a friend went to see it at different theaters you might end up arguing with each other over the ending.

throwback Thursday: that time I got a (facetious) death threat over a geology pun if you haven't seen it

This turned into a meme and spawned a whole lot of additional content

I need someone who can help with this to contact me. Someone who works at Twitter, has a contact there, or can point me and my friend in the right direction.

Transcript follows.

[Reposting because I forgot to redact email addresses] Hi Twitter!

I am the Twitter user @fangirlsmash. I’ve found a bug that has locked me out of my account since yesterday and I really need help. Please read carefully!

I’m a disabled Twitter user. I’ve had my account since 2009 and was an early adapter before that from

The thread from @EffInvictus about this dumpster fire of a story is good, but I want to unpack it in some specific ways, and hopefully lay bare its insidiousness, intentional or otherwise.

I will be including screenshots of the text for critical purposes, but most of them are too lengthy for the alt text feature, and would balloon the length of this thread immensely. You can find the story here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/fall_1_20/

In my capstone project for undergrad I summarized a couple of articles by Calomiris (one on which he was sole author, the other with Mason) about the banking collapse.

These articles were based on government records from the Great Depression that were just sitting in a warehouse

Essentially, what I can only imagine was a handful of sleep-deprived grad students went through something on the order of tens of thousands of forms from banks that had closed (I forget which agency it was under, because this all predated FDIC, SEC, etc) from 1928 to 1933 or so.

I thought I'd done a more detailed, lengthy discussion of the topic referred to here (the way we tend to center our ideas and conceptions of sex and sexuality around cis men's dicks), but it seems I've only discussed them briefly around bisexuality in men vs women…

…and also how this is at the root of toxic framings like "gold star" lesbians and cis women's virginity.

But it's all part of the same white supremacist cisheteropatriarchy framing all sexuality around cis male desire and experience.
