hissing_serpents [she/her, it/its]

pro-Hamas domestic woke terrorists are secretly building an elaborate hose network to facilitate a full scale invasion of our beautiful suburban lawns

i love the symbolism of leaving the creases in, but the sloppy grid pattern bothers me soooo much. need a queer flag code to specify some aesthetically pleasing creases

at least for me the dehumanization is kind of the point, we use ‘it’ for animals too, but only for the disposable ones. cis ppl will apologize for misgendering a dog and then turn around and use the same language for a trans person that they would for a pest.

i don’t like that it’s as simple as “dehumanizing” to take away your consideration for someone, like maybe if being other than human weren’t a license to be treated with cruelty and disregard it wouldn’t be as easy to deny empathy just for being different.

i’ll use it/its out of solidarity with everyone and everything that doesn’t get to be a person, and bc i still have that privilege (usually) but i’d rather it not be a privilege at all.

also anecdotally as a trans woman saying she/it is a great way to not get passively aggressively they/them-ed and “that person”-ed

uncritical support to ewichuu for being so nice she actually reads my rambling

i’m pretty scared of dogs and totally sympathize with hating the predominant culture around dogs, like how many dog owners will claim to be animal lovers but have outright hate or contempt towards other critters for the crime of not behaving like a dog, or not personally entertaining or interesting them.

channeling that into posts abt how disgusting you find the animals and people instead of developing an actual critique of domestication is wack tho
