i love xenogenders precisely *because* they piss people off so much; because theyre a mode of self-intepretation that rejects sanity and legibility to heterosexuality.
"boy? girl? i think im more like a star". like that's so awesome. you ARE stargender. fuck heterosexuality.
The 14 year old saying something embarrassing while trying to express how they relate to their self and their gender is being more authentic to the spirit of the 80s queer community than 10,000 scolds like this combined
@hodge_stick sksksk when i was a history student i made this powerpoint of types of historian (like 'Historicus oeconomicus', 'Historicus localis' etc) and i included this slide
@morallawwithin my boyfriend has a degree in anglo-analytical philosophy from oxford and i asked him if this was a Sound and Valid argument and he started sweeping objects off the table and screaming inchoately
@exit_everything it's from latin i believe, i vaguely recall he got it from a hymn sheet where he mistook it for the author of the hymn (it's the name of the instrument, lyre)
@The_Clermontian you can just hear wilson trying to persuade him to become a never trumper instead. 'im a registered republican. lots of good people are republicans, house'.
@TomWright165389 probably not me personally, as i have a long-term partner so we prefer to live in a two-person flat. most people i know do live in a house though, either a room in a shared house or their parents' house
i (obviously) dont think ordinary individuals will have houses to themselves
im never going to own a house in my lifetime; i might live to see x markers on passports or immigration restrictions eased. it's just rational voter behaviour.
@hyperdollia it's A qua B. it's the LGBT+ community in its capacity as radical and anti-establishment (or probably more accurately, anti-the heterosexual regime)
this thread is funny because nowhere in it do we question the premise that more people choosing to sit alone in their rooms using ai should be understood as a 'business boom'
Have written today on a fascinating - and v v important - economic puzzle. Either:
1) AI is driving a boom in entrepreneurship everywhere but Britain
or
2) AI is driving a boom in British entrepreneurship, but our economic data is too broken to notice.
Which is it?
@BillTheKid1603 it would be good to stabilise all the variations on 'matcha latte performative male', 'male feminist', 'metrosexual', 'tote bag man' bc it's naming a real archetype
