I just think gay aesthetics are incomplete without fat people in them. Hairy people too. Fat and hairy is a bonus
i think kids online should really get back to making internetsonas instead of whatever fuckshit this is with putting their entire real faces, names, ages, and such everywhere. you're not gonna realize how nice internet privacy is until you dont have it anymore and no chance at getting it back. make up a guy and a name and just be that online. make up conflicting details about your completely made up backstory. make a fursona or something
Well done ireland
Oh look, surprise, not being exhausted, running yourself ragged and stressed is actually good for everyone! 🫢
The company I work for has been doing this for about a year and a half and we are definitely happier and more productive. Can't see myself going back to a 5 day week any time soon.
the fact that there’s still so much unknown about intersex health isn’t just a fun coincidence. it’s a result of continued medical bias, the focus on trying to make us “normal”, and active medical neglect of intersex people
like. sure, there’s much that is unknown about the human body in general. but the lack of knowledge about intersex people is not independent from medical intersexism
Reminder that associating hair length with gender is not a culturally universal concept and that many indigenous folks in North America don’t cut their hair for cultural reasons that have nothing to do with gender.
Reminder that a native guy should be allowed to wear his hair in long braids without people calling it gender nonconformity or saying he’s breaking gender norms, because hair length has nothing to do with his gender norms.
Reminder that a queer native woman should be allowed to wear her hair long without being automatically read as femme presenting, that she can be butch with long hair, because long hair is not associated with femininity in her culture.
Reminder that many native folks cut their hair for solemn reasons, usually mourning, and remarking on it as a reflection of personal style or gender presentation can be deeply disrespectful. No, she didn’t just get a fierce butch haircut - she cut her hair because someone died. No, he didn’t cave to a gender conforming haircut - he cut his hair because someone died.
Reminder that this is not universally practiced by native folks and, like all cultural practices, some people are more strict in their adherence than others.
no offense but i find shit like this just blatantly bullshit because have you fucking SEEN the effects im getting orally. like i find it a bit gard to believe that theres a secret best way to take HRT when the "least effective" is having this impact on me
love how its on this post too like yeah your doctors wont tell you it bc its bullshit!!
Its bullshit because bodies process things in different ways. While some/most transfems do astonishingly well and see a LOT in terms of feminization on pills alone, I *had* to switch to injections, as estradiol pills weren't enough to get my levels to be sufficient. Meanwhile, some people do transdermal because of it's lowered risk of blood clotting in those who are prone to that sort of thing. To say one method is better than others is merely ignorance.
so called feminists: "actually women are naturally inferior at everything, including quiz game shows, beauty pageants, chess, and video games. we need a society that is segregated so that anyone who would ever have to potential to win against a woman is eliminated. this is actually far better than organizing sports into weight classes or different athletic/skill level based categories that ignore sex, like what wrestling and video/board game tournaments already do. I cannot accept the reality that men and women are the same species. this is actually how we truly protect women. by calling them weak pathetic losers who could never win against even the worst opponent, and preventing them from even playing at all."
actually conversion I had with one of these nerds:
me: "so you think men are better at literally everything, even things that do not require any physical ability whatsoever?"
terf: "yes! those should still be segregated by sex! males should not be playing against women ever. it's an unfair advantage"
me: "so my brother has an unfair advantage over me when playing fucking monopoly?"
terf: "yes. males are statistically better and managing finances, while women are irresponsible and lenient with spending money."
hey guys. I think the people who are literally unironicly saying "women are bad at money. this means they suck at board games" aren't actually feminists
No joke, that was the rethoric the Francoist regime in Spain used to justify women being legally underage regardless of age and unable to open bank accounts without their husbands or fathers permission. That law was effective until 1975.
watching someone refer to conversations about anti transmasculinity as “proof that trans men don’t need feminism and have male privilege” as if these conversations aren’t explicitly about the ways feminists have repeatedly failed us for decades and how society does not in fact grant us male privilege just because we identify as men. i have seen a lot of horrific takes about trans men but that shit is just straight up gaslighting and victim blaming, and not in the buzzword sense but the sense that people are now just blatantly lying about the violence we face in order to paint us as privileged because then they can take their frustrations at the patriarchy out on a much easier target.
a day late to my 6 years on t anniversary ✨🏳️⚧️ a short comic about looking back
Idk a lot of the backlash to broadening who falls under what terms comes from the need to distinctly fall under the specific label you worked towards…but distance from adjacent labels only limits your allies and puts you in a rigid box you can’t come back out of either.
Saw a post by a trans woman horrified by the concept of having overlapping experience with femboys because “fuck you I am a woman.” You are. A woman with a lot of overlapping experience with a GNC man. You’re not a GNC man. He’s not a woman. And the gap between you two is not a chasm.
“How dare you say trans men are similar to butch lesbians. Trans men are men.” Yeah, men with similar experiences to butch lesbians. The butch lesbian isn’t a man. You aren’t a woman. And the gap between you is not a chasm.
This mindset doesn’t even account for GNC men who also ID as women, trans men who use the label of lesbian. Butch can be a label for a person of either AGAB.
Binary trans people wanna separate themselves from each other and from nonbinary people sooo bad. Now it makes eggs feel like the jump from GNC woman to man is an insurmountable journey. A femboy gets told he’s making a mockery of trans women’s experiences. A transmasc femboy is seen as just a faker. A butch trans lesbian is seen as a faker.
These labels are all just plots on the map, not one side or the other. You journey to the farthest edges and you find twinks and lesbians who look and act identical despite being supposed opposites. It’s all made up, we’re all queer.
Hypothesis: invasiveness of plants in the USA has less to do with specific traits of the plant and more to do with catastrophic changes in land use and management following European colonization
This hypothesis came to me after researching what plants were invasive in China and Japan, and learning that most of East Asia and Japan (Is Japan considered East Asia or is it special by virtue of being island?) invasive species are from...The Southeastern United States (just like ours are mostly from east asia and Japan).
BUT one major difference: Most of the worst Eastern USA invasives are woody shrubs or perennial vines; most of the worst Eastern Asian invasives are herbaceous perennial or annual plants
I thought, I wonder how they respond to controlled burning?
Some of the most common invasive species around here are those that have a very dense foliage and that grow in thick masses that seem like it would make the whole forest a tinderbox.
I thought, I wonder if certain growth habits are selected against by controlled burning, and when the burning stopped that created a sort of vacant niche?
I am frustrated by the ways ecosystems are thought about and considered...seems like people imagine an ecosystem as something that just Exists with minimal input from humans and as such don't see negligence as a Damage to the ecosystem...
OP (not) proposing a solution to the Kudzu problem.
I've already proposed a solution to the Kudzu problem and it's "Use the Kudzu for textiles"

y’all have GOT to stop putting that stupid “crab day” post on my dash, op is a terf and tumblr isn’t your starving artist friend who needs a gofundme to make it to tomorrow. this site is a company above all babes, don’t forget that they’re flagging queer user content as explicit at a disproportionately higher rate and still refuse to do anything about the porn bots and literal nazis.
Do you write music with the view of being politically active and delivering a message or does it just happen and the rest follows?
All of this.

I think AAA game devs should also go on strike given how atrocious their working conditions are and how they're treated by the higher-ups
it strikes me as odd that all this research into the "mediterranean diet" was not accompanied by equally extensive research into the "mediterannean healthcare system"
