intersectionality has broken everybody's brains, you have to realize its not radical to be completely incapable of thinking of in depth about an individual concept without immediately escaping to all of its manifestations and interlinkages. congrats you figured out isolated immediacy is insufficient

but that doesn't move you beyond shallow muddy waters. you can kick your feet all you want but it just makes the problem worse.

i have jellyfishjoy

k4mi is just that good

i've gotta be on my period bc i'm bawling my eyes out

i just want to know if i was on your mind

ah fuck dawg u broke out the claves its over for me

god damn it i told myself i would be doing trad albums and then latin american shoegaze soundcloud hooks me right back in

columbian eboys understand me

rather than community lexcions i think experimenting with an general purpose repo would be interesting, so for problems where you'd normally have to turn to an app-specific db you can have a public repo that everyone can reference

you'd still of course need the app layer unless you got clever with rkeys, and even then in most cases you'd still want one but the option is there

not that i even think this is a good idea or even in the spirit of the protocol but it'd be a fun thing to play with

alr lowkirkenuinely ts has a great premise that goes painfully underutilized and rapidly becomes super generic

its cold do u wanna cuddle

putting myself in danger so i can experience the suspension bridge effect

they have a name for that you know: anxious attachment style

critical theory grad student with a distaste for the reification of her anxious attachment style but also a distaste for the demands of authenticity so her solution is to put herself in actual danger

what i had in mind with the authenticity bit was like not having qualms with manufacturing a scenario for yourself to experience a desired emotional state

duuuuuude jungle is so good

its not rehabilitative justice bro, its called kindness

the ice guy and his cool female colleague is so kademillow-coded

okay grok what is "recency bias"

the precarious quote about the american child with ice cream is more fitting to describe the value i see in the attitude combined with how uncomfortably situated the whole affair is

he has plenty of other passages about childhood and its relation to happiness but this has always been my favorite

i think this basically does it tho

honestly the tone of these is too harsh, nowadays we exist within a culture where cynicism abounds but it is entirely misplaced, so the affirmative countermeasure has some bite to it, some real and necessary purchase as a twinkle of motivation to propel the dialectic forward

i live like this

i have so much music to catch up on (/pos /pos /pos)

i can’t wait to be off ios but it’s gonna be a pain to swap

godot is a cute character in phoenix wright

take an obvious example, like dog girls and cat girls or w/e are pretty common in queer circles. sometimes it's transient, other times it's more persistent, but either way it's a recognizable application of metaphor that gets intertwined with gender

and i think this makes sense because gender as an identity assertion carries some of the most explicit performance corollaries without being as easily reduced to the behavioral. so like in contrast to vegan identity, which sure likely carries some cognitive content and potentially some expressive

characteristics, you can much easier arrive at reductive criteria to the absolute essentials of being a person who does consume animal byproducts. whereas gender is already such a grab-bag of messy characteristics and there is constantly room for boundary nudging

anyway i dont feel like writing out of the middle material to draw all the connections but tl;dr queer ppl are already doing funky gender stuff and so incorporating new material into their already shifting identity on that dimension can be a lot more natural, and depending on the context it can

either be something to stand out or assimilate into a new social context (sometimes both, i don't really feel like laying it all out). anyway, this is all very easily understood.

but then you'll also see things seeping into more mainstream consciousness, like the idea of a "golden retriever boyfriend" where its very similar, you're taking personality similarities and applying the metaphor (notably with a gender component!)

most of the time this is an external ascription but as we see more of those metaphors pop up i think we'll start to see more positive identifications with the metaphors to the extent that they'll start being assertions. what i don't know is if it'll be a casual seeping in for someone

where they'll just increasingly reference it slowly over time or if it will be a more "all at once" thing. obvi thats kinda on the level of the individual and that can happen all sorts of ways, so maybe not as important as the sociological phenomenon.

i do think it'll be fairly similar to trans people's identity shifts online, where content they see on social media will be an easy exposure method and way to explore safely. and for that matter, a lot of it will probably be limited to online interaction anyway, same as existing neogender experience
