Why are politicians still focused on trans kids in sports? YouTube video by Adam Conover

'It doesn't affect anyone except trans people who are being attacked.'

And then attacking trans people opens the floodgates to attacking all the other queer folks.

Lilo & Stitch - Aloha 'Oe Full Scene [HD] YouTube video by Mad Mike

Especially when live action remakes seem to purely exist to straightwash characters, destroy internal themes about community and chosen family, and completely erase a culturally significant scene in favour of colonial, fascist ideals. [ahemLilo&Stitchahem]🧵✂️

There's certain Disney soundtracks that are arguably even more incredible in their Broadway iterations, because of the extra songs they include to expand the runtime to fit your average length of a theatre production.

I prefer adaptations or remakes as creative exercises, not corporate ones.🧵

And don't get me started on the Broadway adaptations! I had a debate with my mother on the subject of Broadway adaptations of Disney movies, with her viewing it anti-corporately, and me reminding her that regardless of who owns the property, a new show on Broadway means more work for creatives. 🧵

And this is coming from someone who normally loves a GOOD live action remake (emphasis on good). Live action Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, the Alice in Wonderland movies (although I never saw the second one), I've never seen the Maleficent movies but apparently they're good... 🧵

Honestly, this is one of the things that I have to admit baffles me. Like... the live-action HTTYD movie, the live-action Moana, anything that's a live-action adaptation that came out in the last... I dunno, 25 years or so? Kinda feels unnecessary. 🧵

I need this lmfao

Okay this is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. I just wanted to share the post to say that.

Exactly. Being attracted to a specific body type is a preference, which is fine, nobody's forcing you to date people you're unattracted to. But that's no excuse to be rude - it's just not called for.

There're no 'good queers' to a Nazi, only 'convenient queers'. Just like how they had an entire branch of the Nazi party for disabled people... until they closed it. You can probably predict what happened to them, even before they went after the Jewish people.

Don't capitulate to them.

This isn't even just a #TransRights issue, this is a #GayRights issue too. This is exactly what I'm saying whenever I bring up to any cis queer folks that if you don't stand up and support trans people, there's going to be one less community there to stand up for YOUR rights when they come for you.🧵

Shinedown - special (Official Audio) YouTube video by Shinedown

Basically, just get out of your own head long enough to care about other people. Not men, not women, PEOPLE. Maybe if you put yourself around people who need the help, and have the chance to recognise how good you ACTUALLY have it, it might open your mind a little - or even your heart, who knows? 🧵✂️

volunteer the more you give back you the more you get back Alt: An animated gif of various people doing volunteer work - decorating, painting, gardening, senior care, groceries - with the text 'VOLUNTEER - The more you give back, the more you get back' in the middle.

And if you genuinely, absolutely CANNOT STAND the thought of self-improvement for the sake of WOMEN's approval... I dunno, maybe look into volunteering opportunities in your community? Look up the policies of your local candidates and evaluate how it will affect your fellow citizens? 🧵

There's no saying that people who are stuck in this mindset right now can't get out, but it means actually sitting with yourself and analysing what you're doing wrong. Not in terms of failure to attract women, but in terms of how you dehumanise them. And why men's opinions matter more to you? 🤨🤔🧵

The bottom line is this: If your BIGGEST problem is that you can't get a date, that's something you should feel grateful for.

Some people are worried about feeding themselves, or their kids; some don't even have a roof over their heads; some folks are literally in war-torn countries right now. 🧵

But do I let that loneliness destroy my faith in others? Do I let it cut me off from my community, just because I feel like someone let me down or wasn't who I thought they were? No. Because I know that, regardless of how I feel alone in any given moment, I'm a part of something bigger. 🧵

Honestly, I know how hard it is when you feel like you're stuck in some era of soul-crushing loneliness. To see smiling faces all around and to feel paranoid, wondering which people will always be there for you, or who will turn away the moment you're inconvient to them. Been there, STILL there. 🧵

Shinedown - Sound of Madness YouTube video by Filthy FPS

... and then, I'm gonna post the Shinedown song that often comes to mind when I hear toxically masculine men whining about the 'epidemic' that their behaviour only serves to make worse for them.

It's the fact they refuse to do the bare minimum of being a decent human being that infuriates me. 🧵

AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN THERE IS NO MALE LONLINESS EPIDEMIC YouTube video by Danny Phantom exe (Dannyphantom.exe)

I'm going to post some videos, then a ramble. First, one of my fave content creators speaking to anyone who might be listening that believes they are a 'victim' of the male loneliness 'epidemic' (which I may refer to as the #MaleLonelinessConsequence in future - sounds catchy, and more apt)... 🧵

I'm probably going to be glued to @gamesdonequick.com from about 20:20 on Tuesday to 4:25 on Wednesday, because they're gonna be playing games I either loved seeing speedruns of previously or games that I absolutely want to see more lore of if I don't know it already BACK to BACK. 🤩 #FrostFatales

And with them doubling back on the policies they ran on regarding rights for LGBTQ+ youth and the cuts to public funding, we're both glad she took my advice, as much as it stung to break a habit.

Fuck the Red Tories, and Reform don't want to make the UK better, they want to Restore fascism.😷🖕

I can't speak for England, but my mum and I have a rule that in local elections, we only vote #PlaidCymru, because we're very much pro-independence in my family.

I managed to convince her not to vote Labour in the last general election when I learned how they were basically becoming #RedTories. 🧵

Sometimes, when I'm having a sad day, it surprises me how much talking to my mum for just like 5-10 minutes can cheer me up. Especially if I have a quick cuddle before I head back to my room. 🥰👩‍👦

Any adults feel the same about their own resident parents, or parents feel the same about their kids?

Zee could use some community support. ❤️

btw here is your irregularly scheduled complaint from e* that drs are allowed to just “not accept” medicare and somehow that’s not seen as disability/age discrimination

The NY Times is so full of itself it had to publish an apology to Dr Robert Goddard in 1969 after attacking him in 1920 because the paper’s editorial board believed rockets wouldn’t work in space.

Goddard had died in 1945. the apology only ran due to Apollo 11

It is both liberating and agonizing to break through the colonial myth that humans are on the land rather than of the land. There is so much peace and connection in knowing you're one piece of this astonishingly beautiful being, and then you see the broken men killing her and her children, your kin.
