imo there’s a misunderstanding of catharsis as passive consumption of art simulating desirable outcomes
catharsis is often simulating maladjusted, hyperbolic, worse case scenarios to get them out of your system
felt like this re: discussion I saw on hanahaki disease wanted it to be a lesson to be honest about your feelings instead of an evocation of the anguish of unrequited love, a cathartic fantasy of it being an actual incurable disease because it feels like that in the moment
a magical and grotesquely beautiful curse that will kill you if the person you love doesn’t love you back, isn’t supposed to be healthy advice from a therapist. it’s okay for some art to just hyperbolically embrace how it feels to be human
the level of reactionary vitriol people are spewing in the comments here supposedly in memory of patrick stewart is so insulting to his memory, immensely more so than suggesting “rest in power” is not appropriate for him. using him as a nazi prop is ghoulish
Rest in power is a phrase used for minority groups murdered in persecution, primarily black people. It is not a phrase for white wealthy cishet men.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
"Rest in power" originated in 1980s-2000s graffiti/activist scenes (including Latino examples) and is used more broadly for public figures and deaths beyond primarily Black victims of persecution, including white non-activists.

Restrictions on porn are genuinely such an insidious trojan horse for mass censorship because if you try to speak out against it, people on both sides of the political aisle will just write you off as a pervert.

i'm kinda really tired of people going "war is too expensive on the average american! that's why we don't want it!" and not "war is bad because our taxes go to aiding the genocide of alive human beings with dreams and loved ones just like us!"
why would anyone say something this terrible… i’m really betrayed that my favorite tweeter at adamant dimak turned out to be violent antifa
Genuinely disturbing news - my friend Clara, who you might know as the Super Creek at Trackside, was abducted by ICE at the Rochester Airport on her way home from Uma week. Please read and share her story: facebook.com/share/18Rmm5SHK…
every time you defend the imprisoning of human beings within state borders I add another fuck you to the tally
and “leftists” will complain when you have ruthless critique of every form of communism that historically presents as the use of state institutions to cruelly and utterly deradicalize populations. sorry but the real revolution will not stop until capitalism is past

nobody seems to realize that genuinely hiding your queerness as a non-transitioning “they/them” is not as easy taking off a pronoun pin. it’s a process of sexually traumatizing yourself. you can’t prove you’re truly normal unless you have a cishet relationship
queer discourse is getting so complacent to patriarchy the way antivaxxers are getting complacent about disease. if you let them take everything away from us they will gladly do so
