Crying, Because Nando's Math-child Brain Is Drawing Graphs By Hand And Making Calculations During Christmas

YEAH. Like just because you reject one extreme doesn't mean you follow another. It reminds me of one post going "Boys are so academic core and girls are cottage core UwU" like BRO. What are you doing? The entire point of this is NOT putting people in boxes.

I have like this half formed idea that young women who are on the surface politically liberal, have also fallen into conservative thought pipelines, that are more subtle because they aren't from "RACIST GAMER PODCAST" and are instead from Emily on tiktok who is just recommending a lip gloss or whatever.

But it's similar. Like they use liberalisms to justify modesty, and to be anti porn and sex work, and to be pro makeup and refuse to unpack the anti feminist nature of the beauty industry. Like a lot of the things they use liberalisms to call "problematic" are right in line with more conservative beliefs.

Things like "girl dinner" "I'm just a girl" "demure and mindful" all of these are gender essentialist and infantalising to women and in line with a more conservative approach to femininity.

Which is scary because they are a lot closer to falling further into conservative ideas. They don't even have to own the identity of conservative to push the broader cultural agenda.

We see this in discourse around sex and sexuality a lot from young women.

In any case, we need serious education on the actual philosophies of feminism, and to push back against anyone pushing ideas of cultural modesty. Modesty is not a virtue, it's oppressive "oh but I just like it this way" have you unpacked why that is?

Not to mention it's bringing on a new wave of body image issues.

TERFS DNI this post is about all women

Drive to Survive should be one episode on Charles' win in Monaco, one episode on Max's win in Brazil and then eight episodes that are just slow motion shots of Max walking around in white fireproofs.

It won't be though, cowards.

fem! lestappen today they’re sooo silly

hi everyone!! this is a really difficult decision for me to make, because I believe access to art and writing is important at all levels of community, and it should never be locked behind account restrictions and regulations, and I also understand I have several readers who are unable to have ao3 accounts.

with that being said, in light of the absolutely massive and completely unforgivable ai scrape that occurred on ao3, which stole all of my works, I will be moving forward to archive locking all of my fics. it's not a decision that I make lightly, and I've spent a lot of time since the scrape thinking about it. I never wanted to be put in this position, and if it was up to me, my fics would always be open for everyone.

"everyone" does not include the theft of my time, effort, or creative ideas. it does not include the violation of taking my works to feed a system I do not and cannot agree with. as someone who has been accused of using ai in their college/uni papers because of my writing, it is the ultimate offense for my writing to then be stolen the way it has been.

I'm hopeful for ao3 to take action in the future to guard the rights of authors and artists on their site, and I feel better knowing that their lawyers are already on it. unfortunately, until there's a better solution, my fics will be archive locked for the foreseeable future.

in case it wasn't clear, let me lay it out as explicitly as possible: I do not consent to using my writing or works to feed to ai. I do not agree with using ai in any capacity. knowing that my works were in the scrape is beyond infuriating, and to the person who thought it was okay in any capacity to preform that scrape: go fuck yourself, and I sincerely hope that the authors curse hits you in every form imaginable.
