I always hated the obvious disdain with which the author treats a woman doing a teleplay in her own home.

Acting is a skill, and recreation has value. If a person sitting in their own living room doing VR episodes of TV where they play a part, that doesn’t make them vapid or foolish or represent an unwise use of their time.

I have watched movies that have had an equal lack of need of my input that still managed to make me think and feel you condescending prick! And I have read books with which I’ve had infinitely less intellectual involvement than a woman pretending to be a character in a soap opera! Take your elitist victimization fetish and shove it up your ass!

…sorry, I actually love parts of Fahrenheit 451. But I’ve been angry about this for years. The “hero” of the story denigrating his own wife because of how he views her hobby? Because in his mind, it isn’t as intellectually stimulating as his new, illegal hobby? What an asshole.

Yessssss such an important lesson.

I kind of hate this.

I’ve known so many trans women who can never reach what they feel is “pretty,” so they don’t feel like women.

Pretty is an arbitrary, moving goal. Being a woman has nothing to do with being pretty. Lots of unattractive women exist.

If a better game comes out, we’ll play that.

… then come back to SDV.

… I’m feeling hysterical.

If it makes you feel better, I left my family when I was young for my found family and my life is ten billion percent better.

Bender had his gender bent twice! Once when he had a sex change operation and became Coilette to participate in the robot Olympics, and later when the Borax Kid and the Rock Alien changed the gender of everyone on the Planet Express.

Both episodes are imperfect through today’s lens but I actually did enjoy the Coilette episode.

“You’re making us look bad in front of the other genders!” And “Do you promise to get out of my gender and stay out?”

Dammit.

Back to contacts I guess.

Oh my God now I want this so much.

The Brunch Amendment of 2008 lists all the people welcome to brunch and explicitly states that allies are allowed.

I call bullshit.

I do not see brunch anywhere on that list.

Oh, I didn’t realize we were related. Put the kettle on and let’s swap stories.

I always figured she must have had a narcissistic mother or aunt.

Because she acts out an abuser like only a survivor can.

Get real close.

Make a very serious face.

Use your most intense voice.

“No one puts my friend down like that.”

This is wild to me as an English speaker.

I would have to struggle not to pronounce the creme like they do in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. “Crrrem.” Which is ridiculous.

Aldi has been doing it forever. But it doesn’t change based on surge pricing. What an evil idea…

The 67-year-old woman who started kicking him, then took off a shoe to beat him with… I want to be her when I grow up.

I’m a middle aged white woman and I find this concept hilarious. But I don’t want to buy it because 4% is fucking weak. I want to make my own “gay water” and serve it at parties.

Really is turning into a christofascist state over there, huh?

(I was born in Oklahoma but moved away in the early 2010s. Still got a ton of family out that way.)
