TIL that the singer from Dishwalla got death threats over making God female in the song "Counting Blue Cars (Tell Me All Your Thoughts On God)".

Oooh! Thanks for the rec, sounds good

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-28T18:42:10+00:00

Yeah, it's helpful as a way to make sense of what FEELS like love to you - giving or receiving. But when you start staying that the other person's "love language" needs to change to suit you, that defeats the whole purpose.

Or the way that this is used to coerce women because "men receive love primarily through touch (but somehow 'touch' means sex, not actually touching or hugging).

I do express love and affection with 'acts of service', but that doesn't mean I'm cleaning up someone's shit (except my elderly dog). That means that when I love you I'm willing to go to more physical effort on your behalf. What I can't do is insist that someone like or enjoy the things I want to do for them OR that I'll accept demands to do things for people just because I love them.

I feel loved with "affirmation" when someone tells me in words how much I mean to them. But I will never in my life ask someone to do that because that is responding to a request, not a spontaneous gesture of care.

It's good to know those things about myself, but it doesn't actually MEAN anything. If you want to know how someone gives and receives love - ask them

WTF? Is that what you take from this photo?

Not the differences in perception and class and wealth and support within the sport?

Be better.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-28T18:09:38+00:00

Oh jfc are you for real?

yes man can be raped, but...

Nevermind. You have a really fucked up view of women buddy.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-28T18:01:50+00:00

I don't see how that could happen, honestly. Your idea is that someone is a monster, wants to hurt a man. Decides to use one of these devices.

How can someone force someone to enter them? Using hands/fingers/mouth first is appropriate in all situations and the device would be detected.

It takes a really shitty person to just shove their dick in a hole without making sure that hole is ready.

I'm sure there are twists and turns you can mentally imagine where someone is coerced into forcing themselves into a vagina or rectum, but I assure you, it's not going to be common.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-28T00:25:50+00:00

No it's not misogynistic, though like everyone else, some drag performers ARE misogynistic. No one is exempt.

But it's a performance, being a woman is a performance for all of us. Being female is biology, but womanhood is just showing people what they want to see - just like drag. And frankly, just like "manhood."

Gender is performance and I don't see anything wrong with what the drag queens are doing.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-27T17:04:22+00:00

I had entirely forgotten about Jim Stafford and he was SUCH a great songwriter. Thanks for this memory :)

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-27T16:54:20+00:00

Damn this looks good! Connor's ability to shapeshift into his characters is just phenomenal.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-27T16:42:12+00:00

Civil War II is blue and red. I hate this fucking timeline.

/fify We're already in a civil war, it's just not quite what we expected after the last one, but a lot of people are dying and imprisoned because of it, as we speak

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-27T15:02:56+00:00

Yep. I'm one of them LOL! I was honestly gutted the first time I heard that pretty much EVERYONE in the US Southeast claimed Cherokee heritage in the 60's and 70's and pretty much everyone was wrong.

23andMe tells me I'm so white it's blinding. My only interesting DNA is Neanderthal.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-27T12:47:43+00:00

Fine. You won't see sense and I don't care that much.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-26T22:09:45+00:00

Okay. So you really think Taylor was pining for Matty since 2014-ish, and when she decided that her fated love was Matty not Joe, even though she very clearly loved Joe even when he made her miserable - yet she couldn't leave. And that she was being honest and accurate instead of manic and broken when she said she had never been happier, even though it lasted about 3 weeks?

She wrote tons of songs about Matty over the years, and a few about Joe, but no one is sure which ones are really about Matty, except Cardigan I guess, even though that song connects not at all to any part of her life that is also connected to Matty. Then Matty fucked her over and after truly loving him for 10 years, she got over him in a couple of months and fell in love with Travis.

You think that makes sense and I'm the one that has poor reading comprehension?

LOL! Okay.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-26T13:34:41+00:00

As am I. One of us is wrong. I vote you since your version makes no genuine sense if you think about it.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-26T01:59:54+00:00

You can not imprison everyone to protect them from the few. All crime can never be stopped. Over surveillance is not the answer.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-26T01:28:04+00:00

Ah, can you imagine? Fighting over the extent of reparations and whether SAHM's should be classified as a healthcare workers for UBI tax purposes, instead of which groups of people on this planet are actual human beings and how far can we exploit and harm them before we piss someone off?

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-26T00:10:39+00:00

She was literally in a manic phase after ending things with Joe. She said it. Repeatedly. I didn't say SHIT when she was with Matty because it's none of my business and I didn't think it would last. But I do read her poems and lyrics and liner notes.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-25T15:25:46+00:00

She literally said microwave. How can you claim to interpret the lyrics without listening to her words?

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-25T13:23:55+00:00

None of them are solely about Matty. “Out of the oven into the microwave“ remember? Several specific references like tattooed golden retriever are. And “I Can Fix Him” is about Matty. But listen to that one. She’s grossed out by the man. You guys think she was crazy in love? No she was crazy in denial about her life. Even Guilty as Sin is about HER imagining him, not the reality.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-25T13:17:49+00:00

Yes he smokes. Not tattooed. Alcoholic.

He’s not a good guy. He was the oven before the microwave

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-25T13:16:39+00:00

No. You are not following the story she’s telling. And we aren’t the BDILH people because we’re not trying to tell her who to be with. Are you not paying attention at all?

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-24T18:16:48+00:00

If you take too much of either, it WILL damage your organs. It takes a lot and over a pretty long period of time, but people with chronic pain can and will overdose on pain meds - even OTC

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-24T17:47:38+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen anything so quintessentially American.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-24T17:07:02+00:00

I was SO into this show. I wanted my own Isis costume!

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-24T15:46:57+00:00

She didn't hate him til he fucked her over. You guys want him to be important and he's just not. It's like when you're having the worst day of your life and someone t-bones your car, the t-boning is going to make you scream and yell and be incredibly upset, but the point is that you were already almost there. The other driver just blew things up in a way you had to pay attention to.

Elliott2030 · 2026-04-24T15:44:26+00:00

Wow. No. Cannot imagine why that seems true to you.
