dragon tea kettle. if you even care.

That’s fucking cool.

This minecraft short comic called "A strange Coast" made by Ian Flynn I believe, I found in a book from my library I work has to be one of the most beautiful and respectful takes on the game.

It understands minecradf so perfectly and doesn't treat it as childishly as the other stories in it did.

And all that within 10 pages and no word spoken.

Beautiful

Not knowing that you have a villain inside you, a hero, and a bystander is a lesson that everyone should learn.

What is the quote from Jingo, by Sir Terry Pratchett, to the effect of "when someone does something terrible, we want it to be one of Them, because if it isn't Them, then it is Us?"

“It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn’t then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.”

Another hit post from God themself

Tumblr added a bunch of tracking shit to share urls, so now ill teach you how to get rid of them

if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden

in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it

a clean Tumblr url should look like this

blog safely

Removing this garbage makes posts embed on discord btw

Marks and Rec: Misc #2510

Bone apple teeth. (Dialogue from tumblr.)

The Canadian team is playing FREAKING OLYMPIC HOCKEY in face masks. I never want to hear another weak, pathetic, antivaxxer complain about having to wear a face mask in the grocery store ever again.

Maybe we need to replace all of those “tough guy” truckers with the Canadian women’s hockey team.

7yr old children are tougher than these whiney snowflakes.

SN: if you cannot wear a mask bc of legitimate medical reasons, then this post obviously isn’t referring to you

LGBT activists have been vocal about intersex issues for several decades, because establishing the legal right to bodily autonomy for intersex persons is basically inseparable from establishing the right of trans persons to that same legal autonomy over their own bodies. many intersex persons prefer not to be grouped together with LGBT causes; however, the vast majority of LGBT activists would agree that performing “corrective” surgery on intersex infants - to force them to adhere to a largely fictional gender binary - is pretty fucking evil.

There’s a lot of bullshit around the gender binary and the “basic biology” arguement that breaks down the second you look in any college-level textbook. The amount of people born intersex clocks in at 1.7% of the world’s population and people try to pretend it doesn’t exist because of that low percentage. However, following that logic, they must also believe that people born with naturally red hair, 2% of the world’s population, must also be fictitious. Except that clearly isn’t the case. One hundred and thirty-two MILLION people are born intersex and the vast majority of them have their bodily autonomy ripped away. That shit has to stop.

[ID: a series of tweets by #EndIntersexSurgery (@pidgejen)

Anyways, let’s start with what I thought I once knew about myself. When I was 18, I discovered I  wasn’t like other girls. My medical records read “male pseudo-hermaphrodite 46 XY” & other BS terminology that pathologised my healthy/beautiful intersex body.

I discovered then that I had been diagnosed with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS); my XY body couldn’t fully utilise androgens (like T) and so I developed mostly like a typical female person externally.

For me, this meant that I had a somewhat “ambiguous” looking body (aka a non-binary body) and the doctors performed 3 unnecessary cosmetic surgeries to make me look more like a “normal” girl:

gonadectomy

Clitorectomy

Vaginoplasty

Not to mention, they lied to me about ALL OF THIS and then forced  me to take Premarin (a low dose of estrogen made from extracting the hormone from pregnant mare’s urine)

Anyways, I got in touch with a new endocrinologist recently thanks to my therapist at @RushMedical who suggested I see him.

He did something no other doctor has ever done. He asked me if he could see my medical records, all of them, and then took time to read of them.

He even reached out to other experts in his field when he was confused by something.

Wow. We love humility in medicine.

Anyways, he ends up suspecting something is up and that perhaps my PAIS diagnosis is wrong.

He then orders me a genetic test. Thanks to covid it took almost half a year to get the results, but a month or so ago I got them back.

Turns out, I don’t have PAIS, I actually have something known as NR-5A1. Now this is big news mostly because 1. It supports my thesis that docs who deal with intersex kids don’t know shit…

And 2. P/AIS intersex folks are believed to not be able to utilise androgens and so we’re often only given estrogen (never T), forcibly “feminised” with fucked up “cosmetic” surgeries, and forcibly assigned female.

Doing what they did to me was fucked up enough, but now realising that they didn’t even have the diagnosis right – and that I can utilise androgens – is fucking infuriating beyond belief.

We need to #EndIntersexSurgery y’all like yesterday.

Starting HRT is genuinely so freeing. I'm getting "sir"d more often and I feel more comfortable being feminine

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy.
