    Jordan Peterson is a hack philosopher who barely understands the source material he critiques. He does not understand Marx’s historical materialism in the slightest; his lectures on Christianity are more rambles than coherent points; and his claim to fame is getting upset over pronouns and riding that pony to the money train that is the alt-right pipeline. If you actually know these topics, it’s plain to see how shallow Peterson’s opinions and viewpoints are. He’s a great con-man—I’ll give him that.




  • As a person who grew up in American schools post-Columbine, with kids in schools now, and none of us are CEOs, this is probably the take that saddens me most about this whole event. It’s our kids, and the argument used to be about freedom. Soon, we won’t even have that. What was the fucking point? (Rhetorical: profit)

    I know we’re all alive at a special time in humanity. We think we’re so civilized. Then I look around, and it’s the same history playing on repeat. When do the monkeys figure out it’s one species? (Rhetorical again: 😬)


  • David Bowie and Prince both bent and blurred gender lines while still being attractive, unique, and amazingly talented. Bowie died really close to his birthday, and both dates are close to my birthday.

    When he died, I decided to check off some of my bucket list items, like performing in drag. Whenever I’ve felt self conscious, thinking about these icons really helped me be comfortable with myself and my journey.

    I really miss both of them as a fan. :/ I wish I had seen them live.
