A whole bunch of stuff, it seems!

1. this article on decriminalizing sex work in New York

on the subject of sex work, I'm also reading whatever a cursory google search led me to about sex work advocacy in India.
link one
link two
link three
link four

2. this post about women in curative fandoms

3. I weaponised my ability to create tumblr-friendly soundbites to make this post, which was inspired in turn by this post on [personal profile] hellofriendsiminthedark's dreamwidth.

4. I just find it amusing that this morning I made a post to my discourse tumblr that was just the word 'depressed' in big text and it has like 6 notes? why did 6 entire people feel the need to like this post lmao sdhfskjdfhkf. that said, I made this post on tumblr to save links from searches I was making from my phone but I'm too tired to transcribe them properly so have them in a half assed way.

5. here's a good post. cw for discussions of pedophilia and rape in the post.

6. wikipedia articles: body politic and julia de burgos. almost/no relation to each other, I swear.

7. not a link. I watched the first episode of the magicians today and I'm pretty hype to learn more about the characters!! if anyone wants to help me watch by rabbiting season one with me, that's most welcome.

8. I am...strongly considering getting back into making moodboards. I haven't been able to be very creative lately, for whatever reasons, and I've found that the best way to get back into doing things is to do things for other people. you can look over my aesthetic moodboards and decide if you want something similar, and then send me an ask here, because they'll be posted to tumblr (it doesn't have to be off anon). you can send me prompts like "summer with lesbian themes" or "cottage-y aesthetic but sad" or "pink and green" or any combination thereof, not limited to those seasons or colours or sexualities. I would love to make a board for you, even if it takes me a while, so please don't feel bad about asking. in fact, please ask.

9. this is a hysterically funny post by an anti who is unhappy, nay, distraught over Gerard Way's life choices. DO NOT READ THE LINK IF: you are currently watching the umbrella academy but not done, or intend to watch the umbrella academy

Zombie Linguistics: Experts, Endangered Languages and the Curse of Undead Voices, Bernard C. Perley

I know what you think of me, the article that originated this quote:
Years ago a friend of mine had a dream about a strange invention; a staircase you could descend deep underground, in which you heard recordings of all the things anyone had ever said about you, both good and bad. The catch was, you had to pass through all the worst things people had said before you could get to the highest compliments at the very bottom. There is no way I would ever make it more than two and a half steps down such a staircase, but I understand its terrible logic: if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.


I'm thinking about this article on abortion again.

should therapists write about their patients?". full disclosure: i haven't read this yet.

every few days, I remember to post a weekly reading post and hurry to cobble something together. here's this week's attempt

stultiloquentia talked about Jane Austen's writing patterns and it was a wonderful read

Autism as a Natural Human Variation: Reflections on the Claims of the Neurodiversity Movement is a text I have yet to read and will slowly work my way through soon

Baedden's journal of queer nihilism is also on the list of things to read this week, as is the XF manifesto

a friend linked me to Agrippa, and I gotta say the man was on some serious respecting women juice.

I watched the entirety of Vox's strikethrough series, and came to the conclusion that Carlos Maza is the gift that keeps giving [cw: US politics]

I impulsively bullied my mom into buying me a copy of Neurotribes, so we'll see how reading that pans out later in the week when it comes for me <3

sciatrix's link roundup is better than mine. and so is hellofriendsiminthedark's roundup. if you're following me but aren't following them, go rectify that at once.

I was going through my likes on a side account, and I came across a post which sent me down a wikipedia rabbit hole on private languages. Here is the relevant wiki article. I wasn't on board, at first, with the idea that private languages were incoherent, but I'm inclined to look favourably on Wittgenstein for formulating one of my favourite thought experiments, and I just like the man in general. At the least, his hate boner for private languages is entertaining.

Does a Marriage Really Need Sex?: A Critical Analysis of the Gender Restriction on Marriage, by Randi E. Frankle and autismserenity's overview of the article is moderately heavy but fun.

I've been reading, also, The Garden Of Proserpine, and remembering that Swinburne is one of the few poets whose rhyming schemes aren't an instant turn-off.

taking everyone for a ride by nonymos - 49k - Venom. Very worth reading, and beautifully done. contains the most wonderfully written rape kink + terato I've ever read, and I have a large sample size of ONE

the straight up chicago style series by airgiodslv - 41k - Bandom. incredibly well written and intricate. not my usual rpf staple, but a stellar piece of work nonetheless.

project sailor cub by weconqueratdawn - 77k - Gradence. incredibly sweet and touching and hot. daddy kink where no one ever says the word 'daddy' and it works so well.
