when I serious-post, it's usually about transfeminine issues, feminism in general, and other social justice topics. but mostly I'm just here to vibe.

Teaposting Time: gongfu-ing some White2Tea 2020 Fortune Teller raw (sheng) pu'er today! I think I'm more of a ripe (shu) pu'er fangirl, but this stuff's not bad either. 🥰

I'm brewing some anhua heicha today (a post-fermented tea from Hunan Province that's typically pressed into large bricks and aged), and I just can't get over the fact that this stuff looks less like something fit for human consumption and more like a chunk of moldy mulch

it's tasty, though! currently on cup seven brewing gongfu style 🥰

why am I, as a transfem person, so up in arms about #TheBadSpace drama?

let's chat for a moment about transfeminized debt.

transfeminized debt is a term and concept originally created by transfem writer May Peterson based upon her experience in queer and social-justice-oriented spaces. you can read the thread on it here, and I've also screenshotted it with alt text below for reference.

Refresher: the idea that transfeminine people have a special privilege relative to other trans people/other women is part of a paradigm I call *transfeminized debt.* This notion is that we have something to “pay back” which justifies expecting labor, care, and deference from us

finally finished the last chapter of umineko over the weekend, and while I enjoyed the game on so many levels, this part just fell completely flat for me. why does this have to be a trope 🥴
