Heartwarming: This Baby Seal Has No Fucking Clue What Gender Is
>>>>> this is our personal blog! <<<<
if you're looking for pokemon irl shit, feel free to send us a message asking for our urls for that, but we don't rp on this blog so there's no point following this one on your rp blog!
Okokok here's a question. This is NOT to start any fighting or discourse. Don't even fucking THINK about touching this post if you're trying to start shit. That being said:
Responding to some tags because y'all are wonderful and this has sparked a lot of interesting discussion (sorry for some fucky cropping)
TRANSFEM BUTCHES ARE SO UNDERREPRESENTED I love you transfem butches I'm so glad that this poll has come to your attention. Tbh I feel like half the people in the community forget that transfems butches exist and that makes me so upset. Y'all deserve the entire world.
Literally so true gay man butches are absolutely encouraged to vote in this poll it's not lesbian exclusive, just butch
Also so true. Only YOU can decide whether or not you're butch and to impose butchness on transfeminine people especially who don't identify with it can result in transphobia and misogyny, 100%
And that's ok! You don't have to fully understand your feelings, you have no obligation to do that. However you might be interested in looking into the concept of soft butchness, or even butchness that factors into genderfluidity :) Butchness exists on a spectrum like a lot of other things, and you're free to experiment with that.
Afhakhflskf I will say a surprising amount of non-butches have reblogged this post being very supportive or with good insight BUT I KINDA ASSUMED THAT WOULD HAPPEN TBH... Like if you're gonna vote in the fucking Butch Olympics as a non-butch at least spread the damn post around 😔🙏
male and female are not opposing forces that cancel each other out. you're allowed to be both, at the same time, even, if that's how you feel. you can be a boy who's a girl. you can be a girl who's a boy. same with masculinity and femininity. they're not mutually exclusive. you don't have to sacrifice one to have the other. you dont have to choose one to like and one to hate. you CAN have both, again, if that's how you feel.
I just checked the notes, apparently this is the fursona of the author's autistic daughter. Huge props, mad respect.
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.
Hey if you have memory issues - whether it's due to trauma, brain damage, being neuroatypical, or just generally having a brain that doesn't work like it should, I just want to let you know that it isn't inherently weird or creepy to write things down, or keep notes about people you care about.
To someone who just remembers things because they are important, needing to write things down is for things that aren't that important. The kind of people who tell you "you would remember it if it was important to you" actually do function that way. To them, the idea that you would have to write down what your partner likes or doesn't like, or keeping a list of your friends' triggers, seems unsettling and creepy because they don't need to do that, they'll just remember such things. From their perspective, such notes would only be useful for people who aren't important enough to memorise, and making people believe that they are important enough to be remembered when they aren't would be manipulative and predatory.
But a lot of people just don't function like that. If your memory is shot, it doesn't magically make exceptions on the Super Important Things just because you want it to. Remembering shit about someone just because I love them is just as far out of my reach as magically being able to sense their exact location purely through the power of love.
It's still best not to tell people that you have notes of them, that'll freak them out, but don't feel bad about needing to write shit down. It's better to keep a list of wich ones of your friends have asthma or are allergic to bell peppers on your phones' notepad than accidentally endanger someone because ~you're just supposed to remember~ that kind of things.
glados would love making AI art. she would be like heres a picture i drew, for you. thats you falling in that fiery pit. your arm is on backwards . i did that on purpose, as a metaphor for how you're so backhanded. here, let's pull up another one. that's you dying from neurotoxin. oh, dear, your hand's been replaced with an image of anvil. i also did that on purpose. honestly, youv'e got to figure that one out yourself, you can't possibly expect me to explain all my symbolism.
food prices have skyrocketed but all of us must remember that we're all getting paid half as much as all of us should be, or less
people could support a family on a $7 minimum wage in the 70s, today that minimum wage has barely gone up a few dollars, if it kept up with productivity and inflation you'd be getting at least $35/h working at mcdonalds
“Won’t” is the boldest fucking contraction like it really Did That. Just went for it, no shame.
Will Not took one look at Don’t and thought yeah baby need me some of that
Do you want us to say Wiln’t
no mr bond i expect you to die
There's only one real way to categorise disorders and it's when you google it and the first results fit into one or more of the following categories:
1. "Is your child-" "Does your child-" "How to cope with the burden of being a parent for-"
2. "How to get better: Step One: have a lot of money!" "How to get better: Step One: simply stop having it!"
3. "10 Ways To Spot Sickopaths With This Disorder So You Can Protect Yourself" "The Bad People Disease -by Dr. Eugene X."
LPT: Don't throw your junk mail away. Use it to to help the USPS instead!
Next time you get a credit card offer in the mail, or a junk piece of mail that includes a prepaid envelope or postcard, don't throw it away! Send the envelope back with a blank sheet of paper inside, or don't fill the postcard out, but still send it back. The company that sent it to you had to pay the USPS for postage on each one they get back. This is a way to support the USPS by doing very little, and sticking it to the annoying companies that want all of your money.
In the 90s we would send companies “hate mail” by stuffing prepaid envelopes with things like ‘blanks’ (flat heavy metal pieces), a roofing shingle) and layers of other competitors’ mail or junk news. This is because the company would have to pay more upon recieving the junk mail. It eats into them. It actually somewhat reduced our junk mail returnables, I think. Send that mail y’all.
Except please don't do this to nonprofits!!
If you do this when you get a donation request or something from a nonprofit, you'll be forcing small organizations with very little overhead to deal with the incoming mail and paying for the postage.
Credit card companies? YES. Personal loan offers? ABSOLUTELY. The chain store you've never shopped at who bought your info from a competitor? BY ALL MEANS.
But don't do this to your local "Friends of the Library" fundraiser or homeless outreach program or anything like that. You'll be draining their limited resources that would be better used elsewhere.
Feel free to do it to groups like Salvation Army, PETA, or Susan Komen cuz fuck them.
Hey y'all. I was talking to a retired postmaster about this.
She was 100 percent for this, bit please PLEASE do not use metal pieces or roof tiles. It can jam the sorting machines and cost the office millions to replace it.
Cardstock? Other papers? Fine. They are flexible. They go through the machine without issue.
So go ahead, send the junk mail, but limit it to paper.
non-it/its users need to get their shit together fr
ok time to elaborate.
earlier today i was talking to someone and i mentioned one of my friends, and said 'yeah it was saying-' and before i could finish my sentence she interrupted me and went "it?" as if i'd misspoken. when i said "yeah, it said-" she looked at me as if i'd like insulted her or something and went "why are you calling your friends its? don't you mean they?"
i pretty much just went "nevermind" because that's not worth it (and no i'm not misgendering a friend for someone else's "comfort" like wtf) but the issue is
this. happens. every. time.
you tell someone else you use it/its? they look at you like you're fucking insane. 99% of the time they will refuse to use your pronouns because it's "offensive" to them (yknow what else is offensive? purposely misgendering me when i literally just told you my pronouns). when you talk about a friend who uses it/its pronouns, 99% of the time the other person will try to like. correct you or stop you even though they don't even know who you're talking about.
"well they/them is gender neutral too so just use th-" no. my pronouns are it/its. they/them is not it/its. they/them is misgendering.
"but it's gender neutra-" okay and? if dude said he uses he/him and you used they/them that's misgendering. why is it okay when it's it pronouns?
"but it's offensive to refer to people as-" bitch i am literally referring to myself as it/its. i am telling you directly in plain words that these are the pronouns that make me comfortable. i don't give a fuck what you think of them they are my pronouns
at this point i settle with they/them because i'm just done having people look at me like i said a slur when i tell them what pronouns i'm comfortable with.
u know whats wild. everyone on here like 20 and when i first joined everyone was like 14 15. u ask anybody n they been here for years. nobody new on here. staff locked the doors n were all Stuck Inside

"what but I love neurodivergent people" yeah until they're fat, unconventionally attractive, visibly disabled, or show any actual symptoms of neurodivergency like not understanding social cues, having poor volume control, make small talk even if youre not interested, make noises on public transport, seriously misinterpret something you've said, need you to rephrase something, don't understand how to do something and need you to explain multiple times before they get it, or inconvenience you even slightly.
like sure you reblog stimboards and autism positivity posts and know the words executive function but if you walked into a room full of neurodiverse would you be able to last a minute with all the contradicting needs without mocking someone on your blog about how "some people just have no manners" or whatever
unfriendly reminder that using things like low IQ and difficulty with reading comprehension as insults isn’t the gotcha you think it is. using low IQ as an insult just shows how you equate ID with moral failing/human failing, similarly with those “reading comprehension on this website sucks” jokes.
i assure you, the troll you’re trying to epically own won’t care if you make fun of their IQ or reading skills, but the person with ID or another mental disability who happens to see your “joke” is now reminded that people see them as a laughingstock and not as a real person with real feelings.
i understand that many people who make these jokes have no ill intent and aren’t really thinking about the implications of their words, so im not trying to say you’re a bad person if you make these jokes, but i am saying you should reconsider your words and how they could actually affect someone else because ableism is ingrained in everything and it takes work to root out casual ableism in your everyday actions.
to be fair this is the only thing protecting us from Do You Love The Colour Of The Poll
