Rules for trans people: Unless you are talking about something that has been thrown at a cop, keep the word "brick" out of your mouth.

I really do feel like niche genre fiction is especially in need of criticism on aesthetic grounds.

Every single day that Labour doesn't reverse the puberty blocker ban they are signalling their subscription to an approach to trans healthcare that has irrefutably led to a dramatic increase in suicides of young trans people. That's what you voted for, if you voted for Labour.

It's short for "good, giving, and game" and came from a Dan Savage column (🤮) as a description of an ideal sexual partner. My opinion on "GGG" is that it's an ascribed identity. Calling yourself GGG is a red flag.

I mean, I did spend a quarter century of my adult life successfully gaslighting myself out of happiness. A bit of mourning is to be expected.

My NP looks a lot like my Ex, and I was seriously worried that after the two of them met for the first time that one or both of them would give me shit about that. I'm glad that they haven't.

My NP's other girlfriend has a wife. As long as that marriage is going well it reassures me that my backup role is at least stable. I do think that NP's feelings for their other girlfriend are stronger than their feelings for me, though.

people will vote for trump because even though they’re much more likely to benefit from one of the social welfare programs he wants to gut, they think they could one day be an unrepentant asshole who tells lies without consequences and runs the world.

ANC governments have had horrible policies toward immigrants from other African countries. I think this can be fairly blamed on nationalism.

Since NP moved in I have prepared all our shared dinners. So far, these have been: - cavolo nero and cannellini beans in a tomato broth thickened with bread - my tzatziki, served with bread and lox - tostadas with black beans, tinga (for me) or fried egg (them), greens, avocado, chipotle, and papalo

Back in the early to mid 2010s there was this view that you should gently convince right wingers to believe in climate science and my response was always: "a right wing that believes the science is scarier than one that denies it"

She lives in my area and owns/runs an important venue (Graveside Variety in Woodstock NY), which results in a lot of people in the local music scene being far more diplomatic about her than they should.
