  1. They Both Sucked; or, The Actions of One Masked The Other

    [the following is a scatterbrained ventpost. we find that there is utility in blasting our incomplete thoughts about our upbringing, as it sometimes helps jog our memories and pulls forward a better understanding of our deeply-hidden feelings and thoughts. this is, essentially, the incomplete initial reaction to information we'd been ignorant to our entire lives.] I think we've spoken before, many times, about how much of an asshole our father is. Boisterous, immature, loud, explosive,…

  2. Subsumption; or, The Hermeneutics of Plurality.

    Plurality. In its direct sense, it merely describes a multitude of something. Four apples, twenty people, forty horses. Those multiple things then become a singular again; a batch, a council, a herd. In the context of the human consciousness, it is the opposite of an individualistic, 'one body, one mind' perception of the self. Plurality is to be made up of multiple parts that make up the whole. One person made of many people, which becomes a system; the group becomes the singular. What is to…

  3. I'm confused about The Amazing Digital Circus. Help

    I'm probably a big dumb idiot moron, so be kind to me please. I came out of the TADC Finale in theaters feeling like I'd missed some shit, because the movie didn't quite "click" in the way I was hoping it would. So, I'm throwing questions here (rather than posting them directly to Bluesky and either getting passed over because of how long the thread would be, or just spamming spoilers into peoples' eyeballs when they're trying to watch it on their own time). Here goes, i guess! Jax is transfem.…

  4. The Bubble Wrap Conundrum; or, The Balkanization Of Social Media Didn't Solve Social Media

    This is probably a very silly thing to write about. When I saw the takes I'm about to describe, I thought it was cartoonish, hardly readable as a real argument that could be made. Yet, I've seen them with my very eyes, I know them to truly be a statement someone said with confidence, with their whole chest. You, dear reader, just have to trust me that it was real. That trust will be stretched here. Before I jump into the main focus of this post, I want to make it very clear that I try my best…

  5. In Defense of Róisín Garrity - A Traumaqueer's Perspective

    There is a developing sentiment around Róisín Garrity, a character from the 2026 racing game Screamer, that she is a bitchy hot-head who needs to shut the fuck up. Lots of this is coming from dipshit misogynistic 'men' who honestly just hate when any woman is anything but docile and obedient, but there are a few friends of mine who do genuinely hate her guts. They're not necessarily wrong for feeling that way, at least not at the surface; she IS hot-headed, she IS very demeaning to her team,…
