Just a PSA, if you go to a shopping mall and livestream yourself harassing mall employees and customers, I'll see to it your ass gets arrested. Most malls are private property and you need consent from the people you are filming. #ranchocucamonga
@TheWoodyShow Now I want to write a letter to 17 year old me
"Dear younger self, you're gonna be queer af. Lots of bullshit will happen. Laugh it off. Spoiler alert: your name is Fel now. Stay weird, kid."
But I'm not finding anything?? I guess if you want something done do it yourself. So please, if you are LGBT and unhappy with representation in TV, chime in! It doesn't even have to be about The Alienist specifically. Let's talk! #LGBTQ#transgender#queer#lgbtrepresentation
Anyway I warn my friends not to watch it since a lot of my friends are trans like me and we don't want to see that shit. We were all pissed, several of our ally friends had our backs and were also repulsed. I thought I'd be able to find other trans folk speaking out about it (7)
So she tells me that its about a serial killer, and all the victims so far are trans men. I'm thinking 'what the fuck' Seriously what is with the cis wanting to watch us die and feel sad about it but not care when we get murdered in real life?? (6)
I tell her I'll be fine as long as it isn't personally relevant triggering content, she asks me to clarify my triggers, which I tell her are rape plots and transphobia. She immediately goes "Oh" in a way that makes me go "you've got to be shitting me" (5)
How did I come across The Alienist anyway? About a week ago I'm sitting with my mom to eat lunch, and she's watching it on Netflix. I ask what it is, she tells me and says how it's gruesome and I might not want to eat while watching. (4)
Too often the media uses trans folk for representation points but these characters aren't really for us. In drama especially we are mostly villains, Pretty Little Liars, or victims. Trans folk in the real world generally don't want to see stories like these at our own expense (2)
Trying to include queer representation in my essay, I want to talk about #TheAlienist mainly how it feels like trauma porn for trans folk. A show about a serial killer who targets trans men that were also prostitutes? Yikes! But I can't find discussions on this so I'll start! (1)
My sister had been on CSUSB campus during the last two San Bernardino shootings. This one is actually on campus and thankfully she's here at home.
Sigh. Another day, another school shooting. Well done USA.
CSUSB students please find shelter. Shots fired near the visual arts building. If you’re coming to campus, stay away or stay home. Classes have been cancelled. #csusb#calstatesanbernardino
