Every once in a while a trans friend group will have a token cis straight guy. Those dudes are almost always extremely cool, compassionate people who have something profoundly wrong with them.

Y'all the point of this is that sometimes queer people can hang out with a cool straight cis dude who is weird. He's not some secret gay or crypto-bigot. Sometimes dudes are just funny.

my dad, trying to explain the concept of money to me: say you have a sandwich, and i need your sandwich. but i don't have anything to give you. you're not just gonna give it to me.

me: i would just give it to you.

my dad:

"wait...you're telling me this behavior isn't normal?" it is normal you're just used to people on social media pathologizing every human behavior so you assume anything outside usual societal expectations is a sign of mental illness which is actually a mindset that contributes to psychiatric abuse. annnd SEND POST

Lady Revivers

As aforementioned, Victorian women were, for one of a number of possible reasons, frequently afflicted by fainting fits. Whilst indoors this might be easy enough to remedy, however, a sudden fit whilst out and about might prove more perilous. Thus, Police constables of the era were equipped with small vials of smelling salts in small containers adorned with a crown - called Lady Revivers - to revive women in the streets.

If I do something good because it makes me feel like a good person, is that technically selfish?

no, only if you’re choosing to make others suffer to make yourself feel good

enjoying making other people happy is a great thing

There is a Jewish story about a wealthy man who came to his rabbi and said “I have decided to build an orphanage, can you put me in touch with the relevant people”  

The rabbi was delighted to do it, and introduced the man to some charities.  After a few weeks, the man came back to the rabbi.

“I have decided not to build the orphanage,” he said.  “I realised that I was only doing it because I wanted to be admired as a philanthropist, my motives were selfish.”

The rabbi answered, “do you think the orphans will care what your motives were?  Build the orphanage!”

this… makes a very good point.

According to ongoing studies into happiness in the psych department at Berkeley, making yourself happy by making other people happy is how it’s meant to work

I feel like this is such a common idea, and I just want to extrapolate it to its logical conclusion. If it is wrong to make others happy or do objectively charitable things when it also makes you happy, then in this moral model, you are MEANT to be miserable. Not only is your own happiness weighted negatively, it’s given such a large weight that your unhappiness is more important than the happiness of many others. So the most moral thing anyone can do is actively make themselves unhappy, with no regard for anyone else. That is… not a world I want to live in.

Bisexuals in committed monogamous relationships have not chosen a “side,” they have chosen a person.

Thank you and have a blessed day.
