Cabaret is about false security + privilege in ignorance. “I was dancing with Sally Bowles, and we were both fast asleep” you can know there will be Nazism, even that it will be Ernst. But the nonchalant way he establishes it at a Jewish wedding should be surprising and upsetting

i actually think that “antisemitic hatecrimes are bad” and “palestinian liberation needs to happen now” are two statements that can coexist because they don’t really have much to do with each other. if you’re saying only one can exist at a time that’s definitely a you problem

I understand apprehension of men reviewing women-centric stories, but the total disregard for this morning's reviews because they're men feels silly to me. Would it make it better if me, a lesbian, said that I agree ~that show~ is unorganized, harmonically repetitive, and trite?

i used clue when i still got a period and i don’t think people understand how affirming it was to not have to be called a woman during an already dysphoria inducing time. this doesn’t hurt women, but the alternative hurts trans people.

Not all people who menstruate are women. Changing the way we speak about periods can help affirm trans people who get their periods and begin to shift culturally normative views. We do this at Clue by saying “people with periods” instead of making it into a gender thing.

the 1st mention of jughead being asexual is from 1 iteration from 2015. the comics code authority banned any mention of being gay in comics until 1989. so in early archie comics, jughead was gay-coded. the only consistent thing thru decades of jughead: he isnt interested in women
