Probably not the exact one, but Amazon has them!

Oh right, it got torn apart by critics, that explains the 5-star rating on Amazon and the overwhelmingly positive reviews... https://www.amazon.com/Chapo-Guide-Revolution-Manifesto-Against/dp/1501187287

Still, you should email Virgil about your dislike of the show, I am sure he would appreciate the feedback.

For anyone who is interested, the person who owns Raddle (OP) once had a mega meltdown after filling the website with their own squabbling alts. Dragonoa is ziq.

Here is the wig I bought, probably not an exact match, but I love the ponytails. You can move them around for different looks.

I would highly recommend adding in some wig clips to this, it makes it so much more stable on your head.

I went with a black jumpsuit from Express instead of tights. The hardest part was trying to eat Halloween treats with fangs! Have fun!

> but I think a lot of not-assholes have perfectly good reason to push back on the pronouns thing; it's harmful to anyone that resists traditional gender roles.

Yes, to some extent I think so too. But if there's a movement to abolish gender pronouns: address everyone with "they" for example, no he/she, then I'm all for it. Even the grammar-gender thing of singular and plural seems...silly and useless. I mean: really, "1" vs "every other number [0 and 2 up and to infinity" is a valuable distinction?? I don't get it it's just so unnecessary, wtf is (fe)male gendered tv? I know this isn't really about transgenderism any more, not per se, but the pronouns seem very closely related. And the entire concept of gender seems just as useless.

Edit: fixed broken link

FYI:

The person you're talking to is ziq on this thread. Just so you know who you're dealing with!

On Android I use Twidere. Not sure if the apps you mentioned block more things but for just getting rid of promoted stuff and showing just the people you follow it works great and you can use it with multiple accounts.

if you don't mind, I've found these to be super nice and they're nice and warm now that we're in winter

I'm not sponsored or anything lol I just have spent a lot of money trying things out and like to try and help people save a buck here and there

these specific ones are nice because their length and pattern are more towards gender neutral in appearance, a lot of people ask me if mine is a kilt. Plus it has pockets and a belt, which men kinda need unless you plan to jump straight into a purse.

This. I cringe whenever I see people who watch hundreds of hours of free youtube content made not by corporations, but by young people, but then complain when those creators say "hey, can you please engage with this video so the all-consuming algorithm that makes or breaks me can promote my video and I can get some more hundreds of a cent in ad money".

I think it's also because people got this impression (because of many youtubers who pretend to be rich or who advertise their parent's wealth) that youtube is some hugely profitable thing full of kids who get a million dollars when you subscribe to NordVPN through them.

I wouldn’t, especially by someone who has a history of making similar and just as harmful comments.

You might be interested in the research connected with this book:

I recently heard a podcast with the authors on the New Books Network, and they discussed a lot of interesting issues concerning the roles of queers and priests, so to speak, within otherwise strongly buddhist cultures. I believe it has many parallels with the US and the role of queer subcultures like "vogueing", Black spirituality, and Native culture. Indeed, it seems that "queer people are like priests" from the point of view of the consumerist bourgeoisie.

This is dumb, but for an example of a cis het white male edgy comedian (so, a comedian as close to Ricky Gervais as possible) that really explores the darkness, look at Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle Series 3 Episode 6. Wikipedia: "...a glimpse into the life of an impotent, vasectomised, 45-year-old functioning alcoholic father of two". If you're in the UK (or you can use a VPN), it's on the BBC website right now.

just finished reading a pretty good book about this: Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism by Alison Phipps where she talks at length about TERFs and SWERFs (and why most people are either neither or both) from a general perspective of the cooptation of the #metoo movement by white and/or upper class women with a specific mindset (i.e., 'mainstream'). It's worth a read, I think

u/HermitPrince ~Nope, it was removed in September. It's on Amazon Video, though.

what kind of glue do you like?

I stopped gluing my wigs a long time ago and started sewing these into my wigs: Amazon Link.

I wear wigs full time and I found that lace front really irritates my forehead after several hours of wear. It was really bad after a few days. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

I've found em in the candy aisle at Walmart. They're also available online. I can vouch for the Lindt chili dark chocolate. I would not recommend buying through Amazon though. Their prices are batshit.
