I know I've been over this but man HRT is good stuff. I wanna shake the hand of whoever invented it. It's a crime that I don't know who that is actually. They're more important than Einstein

id also been really curious about the history of hrt so i had some tabs open:

The first hrt treatments were mostly estrogen extracted during pregnancies to be used for menopause symptoms, but the first usage of those medicines for trans women is credited to the world's first Trans Clinic, opened in pre-WW2 Germany by Magnus Hirschfield, a gay jewish man.

Oh he looks delightful

Thank you grandpa

The comparasion to Einstein was actually made at the time too! He was commonly refered to as “the Einstein of sex”, to which he supposedly once replied that he would rather Einstein be called “the Hirschfeld of physics” lmao

Oh my god

She gone girled irl

Also while we’re here I want everyone to appreciate that This

This wild, wonderful, beautifully animated and heartfelt queer story started here

Here, on tumblr, by an art student who’s wrestling with his identity, mental health, and religious trauma

Tell your stories, kids, you never know how many people will thank you for it

Fyi this isn’t a dig at people who are asexual or sex-repulsed. Gay sex was literally a criminal act in the parts of the United States Texas until 2003. A healthy relationship to both sex and your body is a major component of the human experience, but especially LGBTQ+ people. Yes this includes people who have a healthy understanding of their boundaries with regards to sex. To try and divorce the fight for LGBTQ+ rights from sexuality is both dangerous and ahistorical.

The “sex” stripe isn’t “have sex.” Mainstream society has no problem with people having sex. We don’t need a flag to declare our right to have sex.

The stripe means “have the sex you want to have, with the people you want to have sex with.”

And that includes “no sex, with no people.”

(For anyone who didn’t know: the pink (sex) and turquoise (magic & art) were removed because it was hard to source those colors for flags, not because of any controversy over their meanings.)

everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye

bumper sticker that says “I fuck someone with autism”

insanely important thrift store find

when gerard way sings "the broken, the beaten, and the damned" and when kermit the frog sings "the lovers, the dreamers, and me" they're talking about the same people btw

Don’t you dare do anything to them without their CONSENT!

I don't know if it's the depression speaking but these days I find it incredibly hard to enjoy anything about the Internet.

Literally every website has become a thousand times more inconvenient, bloated with promoted or recommended shit, stupid UI/UX changes pushed by out of touch billionaires.

The tipping point this week was Google changing the regular "Web - Images - Videos - Etc." tabs with fucking stupid ever-changing search suggestions, making the site a thousand times less accessible and so much more annoying to use

I'm tired. I want forums back. I want ugly html pages that give useful information back. I want to connect with other Internet users in a meaningful way again. Fuck modern corporate UI design. Fuck social media. I want out.

reminder for the twitter, reddit and tiktok migrants: please do not censor words here. if you censor them, people’s blacklists and mute functions wont work, especially for important content warnings (this goes for twitter as well altho that function is breaking over there). spell out the whole word in the post and the tags. do not use euphemism words like unalive. the algorithm here does not work that way (there is an algorithm. not everyone uses it, everyone uses the following tab).

the only time you should censor words is when you do NOT want them to show up in the tag, like if you’re saying something unkind about a ship you should not tag it or mention directly the ship name do it does not clog the tag, or if you’re mentioning a person or community who should not get attention or clout, or whose attention you do not want to attract, then censor it (the way one might on twitter to avoid term searching)

Star Trek: Vulcan Academy Murders

Father and son bonding moments; spock asks about bonding with humans, and Sarek realizes just how far he pushed his son (away) without meaning to

Sarek apologists rejoice, he wasn't intentionally an asshole to spock growing up, he was a kinda clueless dad who tried to show he cared but struggled to express it

Also, context: a human guy just got bonding-engaged to a vulcan woman, but he doesn't have training in mental shielding and is accidentally BLASTING his joy everywhere he goes. This is the "same" feeling that spock is referring to at the beginning of this passage

talking abt tarsus iv will always make me so fucking ill…

jim kirk living through one if starfleets worst failures. one of starfleet’s BIGGEST and most horrific fuck ups BY HIMSELF at TWELVES YEARS OLD….jim kirk surviving this genocide and then deciding to STILL become a starfleet captain. The implications of this…jim kirk joining starfleet not as an act of forgiveness but as an act of hope that he can be a change. That he can become a captain in order to stop the next tarsus iv before it happens—before it gets out of hand. Jim Kirk being condemned to death at 12 and growing up to becomes Jim ‘i don’t believe in no win scenarios’ Kirk, who goes on to live one of the fullest and most extraordinary lives in the Federation.

Many many beautiful women drape themselves over me and lie on my floor with their feet kicking. "THIS internet story is fake too," I say and show them all my phone. "You can tell by how contrived the situation is." The women break into a chorus of oooos and ahhhs and put kisses all over my face because I've done it again.

I invite all the beautiful women over while I browse r/choosingbeggars and r/maliciouscompliance and I can spot every single fake story. "The text screenshots are clearly fake." They are all in love with me and they kiss me so much.

me experiencing any garden problem:

All Hail Our Lord And Savior Rotting Plant Matter Piled On Top Of Dirt

Mulch and those huge radishes you don’t harvest but let rot down into the soil

Those and soil microbes and worms and mycellium networks

Literally out here keeping our weird animal asses alive since literally forever

God, what a cool fucking pair of cards. Especially these versions, with Kev Walker's art. Black and White getting the exact same effect, because the death of all fits both divine grace and unknowable horror.

And then Mr. Walker nails the fact that they're the same but different, with not just the inverted colors, but the way that Wrath of God explodes outwards, while Damnation draws all in.

Mastercraft in art here i think. Simplistic, impactful.

Im stunned.
