minos was such a pussy. if my wife gave birth to an epic minotaur baby i wouldn't have locked him in a labyrinth. i would have taken him to the mcdonalds play place (athens) every day and let him eat as many stray mcnuggets (athenians) off the floor as he wanted. i love you hungry son
(pulling a painted vase out of my wallet) and this is my youngest at his first nose ring fitting. isn't he handsome
having a child has taught me that every toddler is completely justified in their frustrations and tantrums because learning how to do something you have literally never encountered or heard of before is insane. and being expected to be completely calm in the face of this constant barrage of overwhelming information is doubly insane.
i got charlie a sticker activity book and it occurred to me i have to TEACH someone how to unpeel stickers. it's SKILL that requires DEXTERITY and FINE MOTOR ABILITY. i thought it was obvious that you have to curl the page a little bit to create a break in the cut so the sticker comes up.
obviously a fucking BABY wouldn't know that because they have no background experience to inform their thought process. OBVIOUSLY. and OBVIOUSLY the LITERAL BABY wouldn't get it right the first few times. it would OBVIOUSLY take practice. lots of it.
i hate this feeling. it's so obvious. why are children treated so badly when they're learning everything for the first fucking time. why do people treat children so horribly and expect so much. they're brand new. why didn't i get the same grace i give to my child? why did no one have patience for me? why, when it's this easy?
it's so easy. it's so fucking easy.
through all this trans stuff every healthcare person i’ve had to talk to has sooner or later put on their sad bastard voice and tentatively asked what’s going to happen with my ltr, and when i go “oh he’s cool with it, no worries” they do that particular little “uh-huh” that’s the polite version of oh this poor delusional dumbass etc
and like i know that transitioning torpedoes a lot of relationships but today rabbit woke up and the very first thing he said, head still on the pillow, was “if you’re going to be a guy, you’re going to get shit from other guys if you can’t do push-ups. don’t worry, i’ll show you how to do them!!” and then a moment later, eyes wide, went “oh my god. i’m going to teach you to drive stick.”
okay the prize for the funniest reaction for this particular line of questioning goes to a specialist i see for something unrelated, because when he asked “and what does your husband think of that?”, i wasn’t feeling up for getting into it and just went “well he’s bi so he doesn’t care”
and this absolutely hit him for six, and he went “and what do YOU think about THAT?!”, which caught me off guard in turn, so i said “well i am too, so… positively?”
and he just stared out the window in deep thought stroking his beard for a good ten-fifteen seconds in silence before going, contemplatively:
“i didn’t know that could happen.”
patient changing gender: well that shouldn’t interact with your medication, you’ll just need to change some paperwork, let the girls at the front desk know
the conceptual existence of bi4bi relationships: ??????????????

She’s everything. He’s just Ten

i get that miles being sheltered to punk culture/ideas is an easy assumption, considering his parents' attitude towards gwen, but like. i really really want to pose to you all miles morales the graffiti artist, who's incredibly aware that his dad wouldn't defend him if he was arrested, but still believes in and makes public art. miles morales the black scholarship kid at a predominantly white school that treats him in equal turns like a snowflake, a loose cannon and a charity case, who in one of the novels gets suspended for calling out & starting a protest against his racist history teacher. miles morales who in that same novel gave his own cash to a pickpocket he had to stop after giving him a chance to surrender. miles morales who keeps getting told to shut up & back down but doesn't, even if it's "for his own good". miles morales who after being told he'd never fit into a system that should've helped him said "then fuck your system" and electrocuted the leader.
miles morales might not be punk aesthetically, but he gets it. he gets it more than a lot of so-called "punks" do.
I love the idea of Spock being super queer, highly expressive and very emotional from a Vulcan view point. Like...

i love how this implies that gritty is how vulcans see jim
Is there a word for that like, “bright darkness” you get in winter?? When it’s been snowing or it’s supposed to snow past sunset and the sky isn’t Dark Enough. One of my favorite things
Thanks to @raindropwindow and a handful of articles, it’s called snow albedo, skyglow, snowglow, or just light scattering! It’s the result of moon- or artificial light reflecting off ground snow, low clouds, or ice crystals.
that nsfw snow…
On a basic conceptual level our society doesn’t want women to know that lesbianism is even a possibility. It’s seen as a threat when women assert their lesbianism, but love between women is fundamentally trivialized and the intention is to make it appear that way so that aforementioned threat never arises. I remember when I told my mama I was a homo the first thing she said was “It’s normal to think women are pretty” and “I love my female friends” in an attempt to trivialize my love for women. It was only until I asserted myself as being very much romantically involved with women in a way that was incompatible with heterosexuality that she broke out into hysterics lol. It makes me wonder how many women are living unhappy lives because lesbianism is abstracted and isolated so far away from women as a mere conceptual reality.
fun fact: this is literally one reason why lesbianism was never criminalized in the UK
the notion of adding it to the anti-sodomy laws was brought up a few times, but shot down in the 1920s because then women might- gasp! -be aware that such things were possible
“The more you advertise vice by prohibiting it the more you will increase it,” was the thought of James Harris, Fifth Earl of Malmesbury, on the subject
Hamilton John Agmondesham, Earl of Desart, added “I am strongly of opinion that the mere discussion of subjects of this sort tends, in the minds of unbalanced people, of whom there are many, to create the idea of an offence of which the enormous majority of them have never even heard.”

can we all agree that being overdressed is a myth made up by boring stuffy people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to have fun
conversely, can we all agree that being underdressed is a myth made up by stuffy classist people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to be comfortable or happy
But what if it was all a dream
This is more unsettling. I know it's there. I know it should be there. I know this pristine landscape is hiding its horrors like teeth.
