@TheNC64 @polypocketknife I get itโs a double entendre. I donโt see how my friend couldnโt see both interpretations, or that the one line totally xโs any of the other lines, which are cheeky and, to me, affirming.
English
@albathrat @polypocketknife Its a double entendre. The Kinks werenโt stupid they knew what they were writing and what they were writing was a tawdry sex comedy song with that as the punchline.

one thing i love about lola is that itโs never loving in spite of difference or adversity, but sincere affection for a trans woman without even entertaining the notion that anything about it could be shameful. listening to it you almost forget thereโs ever been hate in the world.

to @thelittleidiot Mobyโs criticism of our song LOLA these are the words sent to me and Ray from our dear friend trans icon @jaynecounty27 #JayneCounty. I am highly insulted that MOBY would accuse my brother of being โunevolvedโ or transphobic in any way. theguardian.com/music/2026/marโฆ

@TranquityBase @polypocketknife Yes and I wouldnโt consider it more โpolitically correctโ or more affirming than Lola. At least for me. They r doing different things, but I couldnโt understand how this person could understand auntie diaries but not Lola lol
English
@albathrat @polypocketknife Auntie Diaries is also good though
English
@polypocketknife This person thought Kendrick Lamarโs Auntie Diaries is a better song about trans people I just. Flabbergasted. We arenโt friends anymore ๐๐
English
@polypocketknife This is why i was so flabbergasted w a trans friend of mine misinterpreted โim glad im a man, and so is Lolaโ to be a sudden misgendering of Lola. You have to go out of your way to think that, instead of โLolaโs also glad im a manโ
English
@CheeseSteakOne @dissidntdad While clearly you can pay a crap ton for 100% wool new, the industry as a whole has started using longer stitches and cruddier work, unless you literally get it handmade for you. So almost at any price.
I think most people know im implying the average personโs purchasing power.
English
people will ask: โGregory, what radicalized you.โ
and Iโll say: โbuying a 50 year old L.L. Bean polo that was made in the USA on eBay and it being higher quality than one I bought a few years ago.โ
English
@Miaoftheshire @brynvisible @ltsreallove I always took that line to mean Lola is also glad Iโm a man, not that Lola is a man. She is correctly gendered throughout the entire song, why would they misgender her at the end?

i actually think that in 56 years there has yet to be a single statement of trans allyship that's managed to be as beautiful and simple and profound as the line "it's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola"

What sort of little tit expects a song recorded in 1970 to be "evolved" on trans rights? Anyway, the lyrics of "Lola" *aren't* hostile to the title character; they're actually rather sweet, and even progressive, by the standards of the era. Eminem was SO right about this schmuck.

@LeOtte3000 @GraceRoe5142 Thanks for reminding me of the skin tingle
English
@GraceRoe5142 Some autistic people arguably experience much more pain than neurotypical folks on account of how much potential processing power might be assigned to the pain signals. I can feel my whole skin area at all times for example ๐

Is โฆ is this the first time docs have considered treating autistic kids migraines?????

Autism was substantially improved with just a few 5 minute red light sessions, reducing behavioral symptoms by over 50% in a fascinating study. (๐งต1/8)

I went on a short trip to the woods and on my way there I quite literally had to slow down to let a chicken cross the road.

How it feels to be over the age of 22 at a screamo show
Fear Before The Marge Of Simpson@cleaming_
The worst part of being into screamo is that if I go to a show now i'll be one of the oldest people in the audience and i'm only 24

This is how I wanna grow old, man. I go on a little trip once a year but Iโd love to have the time to be outdoors more. The solitude is so peaceful, you have no one telling you to go faster or slow down. You can spend an entire day looking at the trees if you wanted
hereโs something@ive_arc
Being lonely is just a concept. Sheโs living her life. Look how happy she is exploring the world.

Dear landlords. You said the appliances were updated in 2015. That means they are on their last leg.

Dear homeowner: You just said the roof was replaced in 2019. That is not considered new anymore. That was 7yrs ago.

Also they inherited their fascism and that shit is difficult to crack. And the school system let them get away with skipping class to call folks slurs

A lotta fuckers from my school read the great gatsby with me and continue to be massive fascists bc how we teach English is dogshit

actually your english teachers forcing you to read the great gatsby in high school instead of the harry potter series or lord of the rings is how you stop being fascist
