  • When I’m autistic, which is always.

    Edit: Seriously, I should cut the laconism and just say upfront that you’re ascribing intent to me that’s not there, which I find hurtful and upsetting. I think it’s significantly more passive aggressive and toxic to be accusatory towards an autistic person who phrased an idea poorly than to be an autistic person who occasionally phrases ideas poorly. I’d rather hear “this comes across as passive-aggressive, consider changing your phrasing in these concrete ways” or even “I get that you didn’t intend it, but I found this hurtful because it came across as passive aggressive to me” or even just “please clarify your intent”. Those are far more productive things to say in this situation, because miscommunications happen, even miscommunications that hurt people, but if you don’t go around assuming ill intent from people then I won’t have to go around overthinking my every word because I apparently have to worry about strangers accusing me of being mean on purpose at the drop of a hat.

    I will inevitably fail at saying the right thing every time. When something like this happens, I will remember crying when my least competent old teacher as a kid accused me of lying about not understanding my assignment when I was genuinely confused by it; then I will curse that I evidently have no safe space even online where neuronormativity doesn’t force me to invest more energy into casually existing there than a neurotypical has to invest, because this sort of thing is always just around the corner. Do I need to start talking like a lawyer all the time? Like a Greek philosopher? Does everything I say need to be at least two paragraphs with citations? Should I just start speaking my personal conlang 24/7 in protest, given that people won’t understand me no matter how I talk? Seriously! Ugh.



  • SISTER OF THE REVOLUTION HAS A FIRM UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PROLETARIAN SEXUAL REVOLUTION, LIKE ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION, MUST BE FOUGHT INTERNATIONALLY, AND INVOLVE ALL WORKING-CLASS SUBJECTS OF THE BOURGEOIS-PATRIARCHAL INSTITUTION OF SEX STRIVING IN THEIR DAILY LIVES REGARDLESS OF ABILITY. SHE IS A STRONG PROPONENT OF MUTHAFUCKIN ACCESSIBILITY ON ALL FRONTS, AS MEASURES TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES GREATLY INCREASES THEIR FREEDOM, HEALTH, AND HAPPINESS BY ALLOWING THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL ASPECTS OF SOCIETY WITHOUT BARRIERS!!!


  • SISTER OF THE REVOLUTION WISHES TO CLARIFY THAT SHE IS AWARE THAT THE USE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE AND LANGUAGE WITH FORCEFUL OR MASCULINE CONNOTATIONS IN THE TITLE OF HER SELF-DIRECTED PASSION PROJECT PRESENTS HERSELF AS A SUBORDINATED RECIPIENT OR OBJECT IN AN UNBALANCED AND IN SOME SENSE VIOLENT RELATIONSHIP WITH A FIRST-PERSON NARRATIVE VOICE PRESUMED TO BE THAT OF A MAN; THIS WAS IN FACT A DELIBERATE ARTISTIC CHOICE ON HER PART, AS SHE WOULD LIKE VIEWERS AT HOME TO CONSIDER THE APPARENT CONTRADICTION BETWEEN THE FORMS OF THE NEW REVOLUTIONARY ERA BEING INTERTWINED WITH THE FORMS OF PRE-REVOLUTIONARY BOURGEOIS-PATRIARCHAL INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY IN HER FILM, AND PLACE THIS CONTRADICTION OF FORMS OF OPPRESSION VS LIBERATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TRANSITIONAL NATURE OF THE ONGOING PROLETARIAN SEXUAL REVOLUTION.


  • If I may comment on my favorite part of my own bit, I’m especially fond of the extreme commitment to accessibility that is having 28 sets of subtitles, 28 audio tracks, and 10 sign language video overlays, for what is ostensibly a mass-produced Sturgeon’s law ass bare minimum pornographic short film. Whether your first language is English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Esperanto, Norwegian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, Swahili, Arabic, Malay, Turkish, Plains Indian Sign Language, American Sign Language, British Sign Language, Libras, Auslan, Norwegian Sign Language, Hanoi Sign Language, Indo-Pakistani Sign Language, Japanese Sign Language, or Chinese Sign Language, regardless of your level of hearing and vision, you will be able to get your rocks off to this lady stuck in a washing machine.

  • LMFAO this was awesome, great read. Genuinely thought-provoking but also very funny. More people should write Socratic dialogs in the year of our Lord 2026. I was listening to this instrumental track while reading part of it; definitely enhanced the feeling of Learning Stuff in a Classy Way.

    Apropos pornographic film as art: I still want to see Naughty Deaf Roommates just for the curiosity of it. It is probably completely dreadful, but the film itself seems to be completely lost, with only vague descriptions of it from news articles surviving online. It is a direct-to-DVD film from around the mid-2000s, and it is supposedly the first pornographic film with dialog entirely in sign language, created by an all-Deaf studio, with all-Deaf characters, for an all-Deaf audience, complete with various changes to the “formula” of porn to account for the one fewer sense to impress. Confer non-pornographic Deaf Cinema, and confer also pornographic films from the silent film era, many of which you can just straight up watch on Wikipedia now because their copyright expired.
