Never so quickly has an article made me transition from confusion laughter to rage so quickly. Conservatives are weird. Everything’s here: pseudoscience, denial of the existence of racism and sexism, bio— and gender essentialism, and so many false dichotomies. The point of this article is to get a conservative white man’s dick wet. Furthermore, it’s one of those frustrating unfalsifiable “theories”: if I disagree with the author on the mertis of what they’re written, then they can just claim I’ve been “feminized.” Utter bull crap.

The discourse around Harry Styles, former One Direction member and one of the stars of “Don’t Worry Darling”, has taken an interesting turn. Perhaps it’s time someone… said something. Watch to find out whether Billie Eilish, Charlie Puth, Nick Jonas, and Shawn Mendes need to be… CANCELLED!?? In light of the recent heartbreaking tweet from Kit Connor, it’s seems like something should be said. Along the way, we’ll make friends with Judith Butler and weird gay sociologists and philosophers. Don’t you just love Twitter?

This video is such a great deconstruction of queerbaiting, from both the perspective of cinema and celebrity. It does well to ask both if common conceptions of queerbaiting are internally consistent and actually useful for working towards liberation.

I have many guy friends. Why don’t we hang out more?

Beautiful essay. Makes me very scared for my own future.

Being trans is not a controversial idea but a lived reality. A new zine released today collects 22 first-personal accounts of what it is actually like to be trans or have trans kids as a philosopher.

Very much pulled at my heartstrings. So much to learn and do.
