I Saw the TV Glow had such a profound effect on me and it’s telling that I’m recommending it to every LGBT+ person I know and very very few cishet people because like, if they don’t get it and try to talk to me about it it will feel like I have exposed something very very vulnerable about myself only to open myself up to someone misunderstanding that on such a catastrophic level that I will never be able to talk about that vulnerability ever again.
Charlene McGowan from Marvel Comics is a trans woman and uses she/her pronouns!
Her!!!! Y'all need to read Immortal Hulk, she's a great and really prominent member of supporting cast and Al Ewing even brought in Crystal Frasier (trans woman, author of Cheer Up Love and Pompoms and Venus Envy) to make sure he does right by her. Just in General, IH is the best Marvel book of the past decade, and there's some stiff competition.
the public reaction to i saw the tv glow is like a perfect case study into how cis people take up queer spaces and unknowingly mock and enjoy trans suffering. sitting in the theater, i had a pit in my stomach the entire time. so many times, i would tear up and then someone else in the theater would laugh. and i wouldn’t cry because how would they look at me when the lights came back on? because they don’t see it. they don’t see the pain. they think it’s funny. i left the theater completely silent, not saying a word to my boyfriend and he didn’t say a word to me until partway into the drive home. the people around us immediately got to picking it apart, explaining what it all meant to each other, dumbing it down, making theories. cis people see the the movie, just like transness, as something to debate. a conversation. something to dissect because it makes them uncomfortable if they don’t understand it in their easily digestible way.
can’t criticize plastic surgery as an institution because it’s none of your business if a woman wants to “fix” her insecurities. can’t criticize the makeup industry or beauty standards because some women feel good when they shave and wear makeup. can’t bring up the challenges women face in the workplace because some women want to be stay at home wives instead of working. everything a woman does is automatically feminist and we shouldn’t stop to think about the context surrounding her actions because that would be misogynistic. here’s what i had for girl dinner. according to my girl math the barbie movie was a revolutionary piece of feminist media. i may not show it but i feel the life slowly draining from me day by day.
posting about doctor who was a mistake ny notes are full of eleventh hour fans
there have been many interesting and varied takes on the character of the doctor but "time travelling groomer" is a bridge too far for me tbh
im not actually much of a comics person but as i understand it its basically like being a doctor who fan
people who treat astrology as like a General Gay Thing knock me out. i appreciate that you like it but uhhh listen im here because im a tranny not because i like being Assigned Starsign At Birth
Shower Thoughts: Walter White is a trans-coded icon
1) uses a different name with friends and associates than with Family
2) family doesn't accept him for who he really is
3) feels trapped by the strictures of masculinity
4) illegalized by the government
5) does drugs
6) murders someone
I will be taking exactly 1 question
Yeah hi I'd like to pose some follow up questions about #3...
as they say, toxic masculinity hurts us all and even the cis can feel trapped it and feel like they need to not ask for help and support their family singlehandedly. Note that Walter could have avoided the entire plot in episode one if he just took the money from his Narc Brother. This was meant as a joke tbh, they're very vague sentiments that can apply to a *lot* of characters. But if you have a further question, you have claimed the One Question :tm:.
So this is the recipe for “Beef Stroganoff” from the Kikkoman website, which is basically what they cooked.
Not traditional, but this would seem to be a Japanese take on it. I cannot speak to the popularity of the dish in Japan, but that could be why they used a recipe similar to this one.
wait this is actually fascinating
If i remember rightly they ended up failing the lesson because their stroganoff sucked

Regular people: I can’t read their expression with that mask.
Animorphs fans: *He’s smiling with his eyes!!!!* 😭😍😭😍😭😍
This is an interesting thing because most people don’t know what a smile actually entails. Most animals that are capable of expressing emotions do it with their eyes, ears, and body language. But we get told a smile is something you do with your mouth, which is wrong.
If somebody smiles at you with only their mouth, they are lying through their teeth. Genuine smiles always involve the eyes.
YESSSS. Duchenne smiles happen spontaneously due to joy or amusement, and they involve the eye-wrinkly thing like andalites are described as doing. Non-Duchenne smiles are the kind we do to be polite, to be photographed, to create a smile outside of amusement/joy — it’s not necessarily lying, but usually about trying to smile on command.
There’s also a FASCINATING cultural discrepancy wherein people from more individualistic cultures (U.S., Australia, Germany, South Africa, etc.) look more at the mouth to detect smiles, whereas people from more collectivistic cultures (Japan, Venezuela, Kenya, India, etc.) look more at the eyes. So the idea of “smile is something you do with your mouth” is way more common in the U.S. than, say, South Korea.
That’s why the U.S. emoticon for a smiley is this...
:)
And the Japanese emoticon for a smiley is this...
^_^
Well that makes COMPLETELY PERFECT SENSE now that you point it out!
Wish someone would show this post to every man who has ever told me to smile.

Need to have that kind of t4t makeout sex where we start merging together and losing track of which body parts belong to who and by the end there's only one of us left but it's both of us, in one body.
That'd fix me. Or kill me. Either way, what bliss?
