All about books, I love them and read them all the time. (I wrote that when i was twelve, I'm now twenty-four, this is mishmash of random things. Books too, but mostly random. Honestly, I don't know what this is anymore, whatever man, enjoy.) , I write slam stuff sometimes/
I wish that the people men listen to when they’re feeling desperate and unwanted actually thought that they were worth anything.
You hear manosphere types talk about how the value of women is inherent and the value of men is something that has to be earned, and…in a weird way, it breaks my heart. Because I know that somewhere in the world there is some lonely desperate man who really just needs someone to give a shit about him, and he’s finding shit like Jordan Peterson clips and Andrew Tate misogynist 101 advice. And, like…they’re desperate. So they believe them. And they’re just going to make them more bitter and lonely and sad and it’s not going to end in some “billionaire sigma male grindset” it’s going to end in a false resolve to achieve it, and then an overwhelming rush of despair and depression that, in all likelihood, they’ll drown out by playing some video games, masturbating, and going to bed.
They’re not going to feel a sense of purpose, they’re just going to feel justified about how isolated and depressed they feel, and that’s simply because listening to some old man who doesn’t like women that much tell you that women have it all and you have nothing and that you have to work for the right to be considered “valuable” is just not the solution to their problems. The solution is social integration, and that is hard to achieve in this shitty capitalist society where everyone is at each others’ throats.
But that message doesn’t get through to men. They never see it. They only see Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate, telling them that they need to muster up some inherent urge to work and become valuable that these boys don’t really feel so much as hope that they’ll start feeling.
And y'know…I just wish someone could get to them before the manosphere did, and tell them that they are valuable inherently, and that they don’t have to work or fuck or lead to contribute to society. That we as human beings contribute to our society by thinking, by talking, by doing things that humans do passively in their existence. That men and women alike contribute by being alive. And that you don’t have to earn the right to do so.

This writer has joined Jed MacKay on the list of two writers at Marvel who I trust with writing the Good Black Cat Content we deserve <3
THIS IS WHAT I WANT MORE OF :D
Black Cat being a thirsty horny bad ass who will rob the Thieves Guild and literally do a heist on a member of the X-men just because she wants to have hot thirsty kinky sex with the goddess of stealing <3
Also the fact she despises transphobes makes me love her more
Not surprising either given that one of Felicia’s lovers was a funky trans girl who she hooked up with in the very first Marvel Pride special <3
I kind of love gambit and Felicia as platonic friends. I’m sure they would look wonderful naked together, but honestly both of them as friends sugar bombing transphobes and the like is really endearing.
<3 BESTIES DOING HEISTS AND GOING TO PRIDE TOGETHER :D <3
“you only deserve food and shelter if you contribute to society” says people living in countries where nobody’s labor actually feeds or benefits their neighbors anymore but exclusively benefits the companies keeping the food and shelter behind the artificial paywalls
You’re not nomads relying on each other to hunt and gather anymore, you’re talking about stocking shelves for fucking wal marts
And even the oldest societies on earth all took care of the elderly or sick anyway

Holding the laptop’s power button down because it’s crashed and there’s no other way to turn it off feels so unsettling. It makes me feel like I’m holding a cushion over its face while the life slowly ebbs out of it.
