i think feel like cis women’s antagonism….towards trans women (fighting for their bodily autonomy and the right to exist in the public space) is rooted in this very strange kinda calvinist idea that liberation and scarcity are the same.
like the ‘there’s not enough freedom for all of us so u wait ur turn! me first!’ is very strange and i very much think a manifestation of a white supremacist paradigm of relation to difference. like dogs accepting scraps from their master. cis women will jump @ the opportunity throw trans women under the proverbial bus—call the scraps of patriarchy they have access to ‘freedom’ and say they’re doing it for women. be serious.
I need folks to understand that “conflict resolution” does not mean
“every time I accuse someone of something”:
they will instantly shut up,
not ask what they did wrong,
never attempt to explain themselves,
apologize perfectly in a way that completely satisfies me without me needing to explain how to apologize nor exactly what they need to apologize for,
and then we “move on” but I’m still allowed to shun them and
I expect everyone else to be on my side and hate this person
Sometimes, conflict resolution means you learn that your accusation was unfounded and you were in the wrong. You misunderstood something, you overreacted, and YOU caused harm.
Sometimes, conflict resolution means YOU end up apologizing.
joe biden ai text-to-speech: my fellow aamericans, i just blasted a fat dookie on the constitution and am about to replace the second amendment with transgender surgeries for children. the only way i could be stopped now is if brave sheepdog patriots attacked woke polling stations in the following counties…
As some of you may know, I have been going to language school for the last few months in order to learn the world’s most widely spoken and useful language: Slovenian. At this point, my Slovenian is about as coherent as, well, a McMansion. In order to feel better about myself, I have sought out a McMansion that is worse than my cases and word-order. This house (in Naperville, IL, of course) does, in fact, make me feel better, but will probably make you feel worse:
This Cheescake Factory house, built in 2005, boasts 5 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms and can be yours for the entirely reasonable sum of $3.5 million dollars. Also for some reason all the photos look like they are retouched with 2012-era Instagram filters.
First of all, trying to visualize the floor plan of this house is like trying to rotate seven cubes individually in my mind’s eye. Second, if you stand right beneath the hole in the ceiling you can get the approximate sensation of being a cartoon character who has just instantaneously fallen in love.
Even if this was a relatively mundane McMansion it still would have made it into the rotation because of the creepy life-sized butler and maid. Would not want to run into them in the middle of the night.
The mural is giving 1986 Laura Ashley or perhaps maybe the background they use for Cabbage Patch Kids packaging but the floor? The floor is giving Runescape texture.
Have you ever seen so many real plants in your life? A veritable Eden.
The overwhelming desire to push one of the chairs into the haunted jacuzzi…but in reality they probably put those chairs there to keep from accidentally falling into the tub at night.
(elevator music starts playing)
This is one of the all time [adjective] rooms of McMansion Hell. I personally am in love with it, though I don’t think I understand it. Perhaps it is not meant to be understood…..,
Continuing with the baseball theme, the guy in the painting looks how I feel after it’s been raining in Ljubljana for two straight weeks. (Not ideal!!)
And finally:
We love a house that has four unused balconies and also a sporting grounds that is large enough to build a whole second McMansion on top of. Everyone should so value their health.
Thank you for tuning into another edition of McMansion Hell. Be sure to check out the Patreon for the two bonus posts (a McMansion and the Good House) which both also go out today!
