Parental Estrangement is such a hot-button topic for right-wing rags and gossip columns because it exemplifies the sociopolitical strategies that Conservative politick have been perpetually obsessed with, primarily the strategy of abdication and blame reversal. 1/10

To insinuate that Estrangement is not a multivalent collapse of a socio-psychologically *innate* relationship every human has with their parent and is merely some petty rebellion by the person wholly let down in this equation is simply the politics of reversal applied socially. 9/10

Their pride weighs greater on the scale of souls than their children, and that must be at the forefront of every argument against these "articles" where the fire alarm is blamed for saving you from the fire (whose right it is, of course, to consume you instead.) 10/10

She knew so little about trans people yet says that her love for me is incontingent, full stop, and she is learning all the time to be a good mother to the new me as she did with the old. This is in the shadow of my father remaining estranged and silent in my life. 7/10

All this to say is that Parental Estrangement has "parent" in the title because they are the subject and sole arbiter of the exchange. Humans are hardwired to maintain relationships with their parents, and said conditioning, for better or worse, isn't easily broken. 8/10

I'd driven to his house after losing consciousness and came to in a panic. When he came to greet me, he was something he'd never been: receptive. He invited me to dinner and told me to get ready. Even as I know what he actually is consciously, my subconscious so desperately wishes otherwise. 5/10

My car is terrible, and the battery giving out has been a long time coming, but I called my mother first when it did. Despite my mother living and thinking a Soft Conservatism most of her life, she has done everything she can to be there for me, materially and socially. 6/10

Second, Conservatism is a politics of grievance, revenge, and spite as much as it is a hallowing of power; a system which lets the Mr/Miss Might-Makes-Rights both maintain their pride *and* generate a target to maintain their aggrievement-fueled reality is an uncannily easy premise to sell 3/10

The reason why these little games *succeed* when presented to the Right-wing sector is twofold: first, a hierarchy of socio-political understanding which insinuates those who are "correct" are not so much truthful as they are powerful and to admit fault or renege on a belief is ceded ground. 2/10

I learned how to import this into Ship of Harkinian, so now you can have The Beatles accompany you through Ocarina of Time. Google Drive link for the mod files: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

THE COMPLETE BEATLES IN OCARINA OF TIME ALBUM IS OUT NOW! THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT!!! <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX_n...

Vyva Melinkolya's "Unbecoming" is a Styxian anthem: the noise on an old photo, heirlooms from the dead, and what we were and weren't in the shadow of what we are now guided downstream by Angel Diaz' heavenly chords and the numbing feedback of too many years hence /2

No Wave ballads for sitting on the forest floor and counting the leaves still clinging to the dead branches, wondering if they made it to heaven and if you will, too. Devastating at times, but beautiful all the way through, a shaky exhale and a good cry for the end to a brutal year 3/3

Jumping back in after a lil' hiatus! FB has been extra miserable lately so I'm hoping to spend less time there and maybe grow a lil' here! Pic for tax and Happy New Year, ya filthy animals. I'll toss some reviews on here in the next few days for those of you who like that kind of thing, too ☃️❄️

Folks, US banning any kind of AI regulation happening in the states is about to be voted on soon!! CALL your Senators ASAP!! Zach gave us a great break down bellow so check out his thread and lets do it! It’s GO TIME!

Zachary Berger@zacharyberger.bsky.social

The US ban on state AI regulation may be voted on in the senate very soon. If you live in one of these states - FL, MO, TX, TN, WI, AK, ME - please call your senators & ask them to remove the "state AI regulation ban" in the budget reconciliation bill NOW! Link to call & what to say in next post 1/

There has been a systemic abandonment of trans people as some "unwinnable position" that's "bad for optics" like mine and the lives of millions of others are limbs one can sever to save a dying empire. When they have taken our rights, they will simply continue cutting until there is nothing left 1/1

It must be very comforting for cis people to tell themselves its trans people’s fault we are getting persecuted, means they dont have to care

So stark that someone who has lived even a vague approximation of my experiences, who has been bullied *while cameras were rolling* by fellow lawmakers and singled out for anti-trans bathroom bills giftwrapped to target her would simply curl and die as her "solution" to liberal handwashing 2/2
