So many boob drawers dont get it… its abt the weight. Its abt the sag and the tension. Sphere anime boobs frighten and scare me. Show me that thang is made of flesh n it has give. What is the FUCKING point of ‘instead of shirt she has bandages/vines/ribbons to cover her modesty/make sure shes not just free swanging’ if they’re still gonna be perfectly spherical??? Show me the gravity, let me see the places where the bandages compress which squishes it on either side… u guys get what I mean
Marlene Dietrich is detained at a train station in Paris in 1933 for violating the ban on women wearing trousers.
As with all german actors in the 30’s, you always gotta check the World War II section of their Wikipedia page. Well im happy to report that Marlene Dietrich was in open opposition to the Nazi regime, and in 1937 donated her entire salary for a film (over 9 million dollars in todays money) to helping Jewish refugees :)
i actually dont care whether or not the characters in a story being non-human actually affects the plot in any meaningful way. stories with non-human characters are just dope and swag
“this story would be the exact same if the characters were human” yes but it would be less awesome

Let me tell you what femme has meant for me and what it could mean for everyone. Let me stretch the word.
Let’s say that femme is dispossessed femininity. It’s the femininity of those who aren’t allowed to be real women and who have to roll their own feminine gender.
Rolling their own is what cis-femme lesbians did in the fifties. By class and by sexual preference, they were dispossessed of real womanhood. For what woman is complete without money or a man? So they learned how to improvise, how to sew; how to turn a thrift store sow’s ear into a vintage silk purse.
Rolling their own is what contemporary femme dykes do. Invisible in straight spaces and frequently trivialized in queer ones, they must voice their femininity in a way that does not get shouted down or ignored. No easy task.
Rolling their own is what drag queens and trannies do and have always done. For what woman is complete without hairless skin and a cunt? We too learned how to improvise. and when we were mocked as caricatures of real women, we often became skilled caricaturists, owning the insult, engulfing it.
And this is what femme gay men do, too. Dangerously visible in straight space and often ridiculed in gay male space, femme gay men take shit from all sides. The straights dish it to them because they’re visible. Second-wave feminists dish it to them because they’re both feminine and male, and have thus sinned twice. Other gay men dish it to them for acting like, well, chicks.
What these groups share, aside from a fondness for eyeliner, is the illegitimacy of their femininity. That’s how I understand femme: badass, rogue, illegitimate femininity. It’s the femininity of those who aren’t supposed to be feminine, who aren’t allowed to be, but are anyway.
Second-wave feminists used to slander both feminine dykes and transsexual women as “female impersonators.’ And this is true. What they missed is that female impersonation is what femme is. Femmes can only impersonate real women because we are, by rules beyond our control, not…
I’ve learned over the years that the chode bananas don’t set off any allergic sensitivity in my mouth and they can also stay ripe for days and days even sometimes after the peel looks blackened, there’s just no reason to buy the regular non chode bananas. chode bananas.
Ok listen I literally started writing a different post saying “they should breed even smaller fatter bananas” and it was like, a serious statement, I just thought they’d be cute little round bananas, but then my ADHD said “that’s called a chode” and I got so hung up on that I changed the tone of the post and forgot I left the words “they should breed” 😰😰😰
It feels taboo as a childfree person to admit this but I actually do have concerns about who is going to take care of me when I’m old. The elder care system in our nation relies A LOT on the unpaid care labor of adult children. I just don’t think that’s a good reason to have kids.
“But you’ll have more money!” does not completely put this to rest for me. Neither does “Buy care insurance!” Even if I can afford direct personal care, who is going to advocate for me to get it? Who is going to navigate bureaucracy for me when I’m 80?
“If you do have kids, there’s no GUARANTEE that they’ll take care of you when your old!” That’s true, but doesn’t solve my problem.
I think childfree people get very defensive about this question because its used as a kind of “gotcha!” against us, but I actually do not feel we can afford to be in denial about this reality. Based on current trends of more people in their 30s stating they intend to be permanently childfree, we are going to see a huge wave of childfree adults hitting the eldercare system at once in a few decades. Childfree people in their 30s should be advocating around eldercare NOW.
We desperately need to cultivate a society in which everyone, even the most bitter, unlikeable, miserably lonely person in the world, has a social safety net that they can rely on from the day they’re born to the day they die, and that includes their elder care.
We are not going to achieve this meaningfully under capitalism. :’)
