just watched my very first football game round a friends house!! it was great. lots of falling over, some tension towards the end, much more entertaining than I’d expected all round. then we walked home through streets of moping English people which is maybe the fucking funniest thing I’ve ever seen

NEW VIDEO: Why I’m Skipping Trans Pride This Year A video on how cis people performing at trans events is bad that may be useful in case anything like this is happening in your community, for sending to people who don’t get it, and making you feel less insane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dwFMtcUndA

can anyone recommend me media that deals with the *subtle* ways that racism manifests? in the queer community specifically would be great because that's what I'm zeroing in on but just in general still good

I'm writing some stuff about this but it's hard because so much of the more insidious aspects of white supremacy can be so easily viewed as NOT white supremacy that almost all my evidence for it is anecdotal - not just from me, like every non-white queer person I know - which doesn't make it invalid or not worth talking about but it's still really useful to have other illustrations of the thing to point to

you know what I really like about lower view count videos like this is people hear what I'm actually saying as opposed to something else I didn't say and engage with nuance and a much more casual tone even when they're expressing different experiences and opinions to mine it's really nice

sometimes someone will stare brazenly at me on the beach. one way of dealing with that is to just stare back. but because these people have no self awareness they often don't look away and then I'm just having a staring competition with an old lady

I cannot tell you how uncharacteristic it would be for me to watch a film every day, let alone the entirety of the scream franchise. but it is an extremely funny and stupid challenge so I'm gonna try

I actually met most of my partners very close in time so there's another 10yrs coming up next year and the year after that!! most of these will be chill but hoo boy not the one with the demon drag boy. only vague ideas of we're going to do yet but knowing both of us it'll probably end up being a whole ass theatre production we'll likely need to plan more than a year in advance and kick ourselves for making overcomplicated the entire time when we could have just had a house party

day 1 of watching the entire scream franchise and I'm already pissed at how to fit scream 2 into my day somehow. I've got like 16 essays to write about white supremacy and 24 songs split between different projects to work on. is a dumb popcorn flick break exactly what I need maybe?? possibly. I'm still pissed about it

greetings I’m looking for a photomanipulator to turn me into an eldritch horror (more than I am already)

a fair bit of the work will be done already with makeup and some latex prosthetics, but there’s only so far we can go irl for this particular concept

alternatively I’ll commission an artist to illustrate something from scratch, but checking to see if we can make the photoshop route work first! tag anyone relevant and if that’s you please send links to your work 🖤

p.s obvs strong preference to work with queer people and especially queer poc ✨

so at some point in the last whatever my instance has defederated from mastodon.social but I'm not actually sure what that means? like it puts all responses to my posts from that instance in a separate folder, but beyond that, what does it mean? will I just not see posts from people on that instance unless I specifically follow them

feel free to just send me a link to something that explains this if that's easier and you have one

I think I'm satisfied w my analysis of this (feeling very trapped by white supremacy lately, the myriad invisible forces are manifesting as a much more obvious physical form of being trapped that's easier to imagine) but it's weird that like barely happened at times you'd think it would e.g top surgery

it was fine! an adequate way to spend an evening. much less funny than the first. wish it had been more funny because it wasn't doing that much of anything else and the funny bits were good FURIOUS they don't pull the guys mask off when there's no reason for them not to, also why does she run back to the theatre villain reveal a bit of a let down I barely remembered this character gf has given me permission to skip scream 3 as several people have recommended so may do that. scream 3 or 4 today wish me luck

@jk I’ve noticed this as well! both broader use but also me personally, I use fewer emoji regularly. I think I also tend to use them more with people I know less? it feels less important to convey tonal context if you already know someone, as you can better trust they’ll know how to fill in the gaps, whereas that doesn’t apply so much to new people
