I review the Oracle Of The Mermaids… and then I get angry at the oracle of the mermaids and now I’m making angry twitter posts.

My friend imogen only has 20$ left for the month and she needs help. Shes a mentally ill trans woman and cant work in her current condition. Her bank card got stolen last weekend and she lost about 100$ before she was able to get a hold of the bank to cancel it. The doctor providing her hormones is threatening to cut her off because she owes them money she doesnt have.

She needs this money for food and hormones to survive. Starving kills people and most dont realize that us trans girls will go as far as buying hormones over food because thats just how life-saving this medicine is.

Imogen doesnt have a paypal and still has issues with her bank, so you can send money to mine (moosnator@gmail.com) and ill make sure it gets to her. Thank you for reading and sharing this, my friend means so much to me and it’s killing me to see her this low.

To quote Night Vale: “"The local chapter of the NRA is selling bumper stickers as part of their fundraising week. They sent the station one to get some publicity. And we’re here to serve the community, so I’m happy to let you all know about it. The stickers are made from good, sturdy vinyl, and they read: “Guns don’t kill people! It’s impossible to be killed by a gun; we are all invincible to bullets, and it’s a miracle!” Stand outside of your front door and shout “NRA!” to order one.“”

Oh my christ

Just managed to royally piss me off by railing against cosmetic surgery, science-based medicine, and GMOs (in the most unnuanced intellectually lazy way I have ever seen) in ONE CARD MEANING.

My very angry review to be posted soon (I’ve had and worked with this deck a lot, that card had just never come up for me so I’d never read its meaning)

The idea that femininity resides in being smaller/weaker/less than/whatever sucks. Femininity is not passivity, submission, or fragility, those are not where the feminine resides.

There’s nothing wrong with being smaller or weaker or what have you, but like that’s not a healthy place to place your ideas of what makes you feminine if you want to feel feminine (or like even if you don’t, cause like everybody’s smaller/weaker/etc than somebody)

were-all-queer-here:

Pls stop making lgbt people feel bad for falling into lgbt stereotypes. Like we didn’t ask for stereotypes. We didn’t ask for you to fetishize us. We’re just trying to be ourselves, we shouldn’t be shamed for “perpetuating stereotypes”. Let us exist in peace.

We’re not perpetuating stereotypes, we’re existing and people are making ridiculous generalizations based on us because they suck

AND ADDITIONALLY

If anyone’s like “BUT IT’S THE 18TH CENTURY”

I know that motherfucker, and guess what? I’VE READ A BUNCH OF STUFF ABOUT AND BY HISTORICAL SEX WORKERS AND YOU KNOW WHAT’S MOTHERFUCKING HILARIOUS?????

It’s the same. It’s always the fucking same. We joke around behind Johns’ backs and our lives are like… often really normal. They’re not super dramatic action packed nonsense like this and I’m just sick of being endlessly ENDLESSLY portrayed as simultaneously tragic and unceasingly disloyal and immoral (like telling Quiggly about Emily). We’re usually sort of bawdy and snarky and tough.

Nancy and Violet are both totally real though and I love them

Whorephobia in Harlots and Harlots Fandom

Honestly, a lot of the fandom is whorephobic and terrible and a lot of the writing is whorephobic and terrible (and lazy and unrealistic)

Like Haxby is a little shit, your ship is gross. He’s been blatantly, unforgivably HORRIBLE to Charlotte.

The ship with Marney is honestly amazing because it’s two sex workers who get the biz, who get each other being together HOWEVER it’s being handled in the shittiest fucking “Let me take you away from all this” way and I hate it.

Sex work is being treated as ultimately demeaning and degrading REPEATEDLY

All the misery porn, all the suffering, the fact that Lord Scumbag turned on Charlotte just to make it so that no one could be good at this and be okay with their work, all sex workers have to suffer. They should have let him continue to be the kind of client he is, an impotent pouty man-child who wants the glamorous status symbol and is vexed by her, but like… doesn’t turn massively spiteful and over the top vengeful because he’s not even that determined.

The type of suffering, in my experience as a sex worker, is unrealistic. It should be the moral crusader as the main antagonist, not the rival madame.

The fact that they’ve made pretty much all of the notable clients sadistic fucking monsters says a lot about their view of sex work and sex workers, most clients are just… dudes who want to get off and be told they’re real good at it. You don’t have to make them the antagonists but the writers CHOSE to. They chose to make another madam and the clients their main antagonists when there are SO many other options.

We’re not helpless victims, our clients are largely not monsters.

Can our work never be portrayed as just work?

This should be a lot more slice of life and a lot less over the top and I’m honestly just SO fucking angry with so many of you.
