I crying screaming throwing up I want this so bad this is incredible we should make a musical version of the odyssey I’d watch the shit out of it someone quick please I’m begging you to get on this

UPDATE: this is apparently a very real thing this guys working on???? Like, he has a full 40 song musical soundtrack planned out, and he’s already released the first 10 songs to a bunch of musical streaming platforms???? I can feel the hyperfixation taking root and I need everyone here to drop what they’re doing and go support this man however you’re able, because I need this to be adapted into an actual musical.

redditors coming to tumblr is gonna create a spike in people figuring out they're trans that will rival even the first 6 months of quarantine

it's ok, boys. i was once as you are. let the questions bloom & the answers enfold you 🌸

PSA to newcomers! if you:

  • constantly think about what it would be like to be another gender
  • feel envy towards another gender (sometimes mixed up with attraction to that gender)
  • believe anyone would choose to be that other gender if they could because it’s simply the better option
  • feel like you lost a genetic coin flip at conception because you could have been another gender
  • feel anguish and longing because you’re not “one of the girls”/“one of the boys” or because you’re excluded from gendered activities like girls’ nights
  • have dismissed the idea of transitioning yourself because you wouldn’t be “real” enough, or because “real” trans people know for sure when they’re young

then uhhhhhh you might want to think about that a bit! if any of those things rang a bell, then DM me and we’ll chat about it 🩵🩷🤍 😘

And always remember -- you never need the "whole thing". Gender identity and expression are both vast spectrums.

It's way more useful, rather than trying to answer the big question of Am I Really A Girl (tm), to break it down into individual subunits:

  • What aspects of my current body and/or gendered existence (social interaction, name, pronouns, terms of address, etc etc) am I unhappy with?
  • What aspects am I neutral about, but could be better?
  • What measures of transition exist to address those needs?

To use myself as an example: I genuinely hated the way that testosterone made me feel, emotionally and physically. Going on testosterone blockers was a way to solve that problem.

But I like my facial hair, especially after estrogen, so I kept it.

If you feel like aspects of being your assigned gender are painful to you, but you're not sure you're Really A Woman/Man (tm), figure out what'll make you happy and just do that. Take my hand, and join me in the big wide world of gender homebrewing.

I don't know what planet you are from, but if it's your first time on Earth and nobody told you this beforehand, I want to tell you something fun: if you are navigating on foot among human infrastructures and hear a bright metallic

ding!

you should look around your surroundings, because that means that somewhere around you, you might get to see a creature called a bicycle! And if you can't see one anywhere, but are certain that the sound came from somewhere very close, the bicycle might be right behind you! The most interesting thing about bicycles is that unlike the sea creature called a "shark", a bicycle will die if it abruptly stops moving, and if you are currently right in front of the bicycle when this happens, the bicycle will take you down with it!

In the unlikely event of you standing directly in the path of a moving bicycle, experts in human infrastructure navigation strongly advise you to move the fuck out of the way!

oh my god this is me. i was addicted to designer amphetamines and completely delusional at the time of writing this. i had lost forty pounds and thought i was hot shit. i thought i was the reincarnation of Kurt Vonnegut. this was serious, and my friends laughed when they saw this go viral on twitter. it made me realize i had issues and im sober now. im also shocked i managed to stay employed at that time. To answer your question: im from LA but I grew up all around. I was living between Baltimore and NYC at the time. My mom is a beautiful Italian woman (Milan by way of Bolzano) and my dad is an insufferable Mexican from Montreal.

Simple suggestions for ACTUALLY making Minecraft an exploration game:

  • an enchantment that makes an item stay with you when you die. That's it. This could be for armor only or for any item; if it's for any item, maybe you could make it incompatible with Mending so there is still some challenge.
  • Saddle enchantments that increase the speed of your horse (or strider, or camel, etc)
  • Give ancient city portals a function of letting you travel between two ancient cities (that have activated portals). This would incentivize clearing ancient cities and make rapid long-distance travel in the overworld possible.
  • If you want Allays to actually have a useful function? Make them travel automatically back to their note block when they have a full stack of something so when you get home the stuff is waiting for you (if you have enough allays).
  • A named lodestone's name shows up on a map so you can label locations on maps
  • Add bundles??? Not sure why this stil isn't a thing

So poor people don’t deserve to have money?!

THEY’LL JUST WASTE IT ON SURVIVAL! 

Also, if you’ve taken more than a high school economics course taught by someone who has never stepped foot in a college economics class,

Giving $500 to poor people multiplies it REALLY FAST. That $500 immediately goes into the economy and ripples more purchases until it hits a rich pocket.

Giving $500 to a billionaire takes $500 out of the economy permenantly. You could have set it on fire and made no difference.

That is such an important part of the conversation that rich people seem to purposefully misunderstand whenever it’s brought up

Money exists to be spent, not hoarded. Yes, people should have saving, but no one should be sitting on a pile of money too big to spend in a single lifetime. “The economy” as a concept only works if people are spending money, and the people hoarding the money are so quick to blame the people who barely have any when the economy starts to fail

Having a big string of numbers in an offshore account doesnt make you an economic genius, it makes you a parasite that is ruining the economy for everyone else

being on tumblr has taught me that girls see men's hands the same way men see tits, therefore from now on i will be constantly covering my hands with gloves to protect them from the horny female gaze

Gloves = thigh high stockings

Sorry but a man stumbling in from the cold and removing a clunky, snow-covered mitten with his teeth only to reveal the perfectly sculpted hand underneath is not a solution to this problem

99.99% of rap haters have never even listened to rap. or if they have it's like one gangsta rap song & they treat the genre as a monolith and act like it's representative of every rap song ever. and well of course they are also just racist

first & last line still stand even if rap was a monolith and all rap was gangsta rap. btw

Rap is great! Everyone knows the worst genre of music is country

99.99% of country haters have never even listened to country. or if they have it's like one post-9/11 pop country song by a rich poser & they treat the genre as a monolith and act like it's representative of every country song ever. and well of course they are also just classist

No one is required to like any genre or to pretend to, but anyone who goes around saying there's no talent in X genre, whether that's country, rap, metal, or freaking pop music, is being an ass and needs to take twelve seats.

Sincerely, a metalhead who is tired of elitist fucks.

tv show. white man. hes sad. he has to do important thing but its hard. his girlfriend died probably. TWSIT!! theres another white man. maybe MORE. hes sad too but for different reason. its very deep probably. theyre best friends but not gay but maybe they are haha fandom!!! every girl dies or goes away. just not gay white man friend. 10 seasons 100 million viewers. what will moody white men do this week.

This post just turned 10 years old which is pretty fucked up actually. When I made this post people would say things like “actually supernatural only has 8 seasons” but here we are in 2023 so who’s laughing now. Not me I want to die

Me, complaining about having a body: I have to hydrate it. Like a fucking raisin.

Aiden: ...we don't hydrate raisins. They'd just...be grapes.

Me: WELL I COULDNT THINK OF ANOTHER DRIED FRUIT, AIDEN. RAISINS WERE IN THE CABINET.

rehydrating dried fruits is known to be a way to add extra flavor to all kinds of foods. rehydrate dried cherries, then use the liquid to cook couscous. soak dried apricots in brandy, cook em in a tart, make a glaze with the leftover brandy.

rehydrate the raisin of your self and drink the fortified liquid left over.

Please do not drink bath water.

Thinking about when I worked at a shitty restaurant + one night it was just me + 3 other women on closing shift, so some guy came in the back and waved a knife around, presumably for money but I’m not actually certain, bc he was met with the bartender holding a much bigger knife, a tiny teenager wielding a cast iron pan, an elderly woman holding up a crockpot of clearly boiling water, and me, turning on the meat slicer with eye contact for maximum effect. He left, but the moral of the story is not girl power or whatever, it’s just. Why the fuck would you threaten a room full of underpaid and sleep-deprived blue-collar workers surrounded by lethal weapons.

Even ignoring the quantity of workers or weaponry, I think there’s something special about specifically

  1. using a knife
  2. to threaten a cook
  3. in a kitchen

yeah.

also I fucking hate those “if lgbt discussion isn’t allowed in schools than neither should pregnant teachers because she’s showing everyone that she got CUMMED INSIDE🤢 lol she’s teaching kids about her breeding kink” posts because 1) what an odd way to think and talk about pregnant people even if it’s just for a gotcha own. weird. anyways 2) are we just going to pretend that pregnant people don’t experience workplace discrimination? that reproductive rights aren’t politicians’ favorite bargaining chip? that pregnant people can’t face other forms of discrimination including medical abuse and social alienation? that murder isn’t a leading cause of death for pregnant people? that there wasn’t a time teachers had to sign contracts promising they wouldn’t get pregnant or could face termination? okay

Literally pregnant people are an oppressed class, I don't know how better to explain it to people. Pregnancy is disabling, and it doesn't help that there's people (on both sides of the political spectrum) don't treat it as such and refuse accomodations because "well you chose that". Pregnant people are less likely to be hired, even in workplaces that don't demand manual labour, because "oh well they won't work as much because of bathroom breaks and maternity leave". And there is a *huge* pressure for pregnant teachers to take the shortest possible maternity leave because "think of your students!!" And then once the baby is born and the parent returns to work, if the baby is fed breast milk they now have to negotiate breaks for pumping, and while in the US it's technically legally required to provide a space for that, it usually ends up being a corner in the public bathroom or a dark and musty supply closet.

And saying "oh well don't get pregnant then lol" is an impossible demand and also fascist. Telling people who face job insecurity to just not reproduce is fascist.

y'all not to doxx myself too hard but irl i have spent some time in my life in mental health recovery, and i am here to tell anyone who needs to hear it that people with multiples & schizophrenia & psychosis & BPD are fun and interesting and lovable people and my friends

i knew somebody in recovery who had a system of 12 personalities that he drew out in a nested chart for me. they did not remember each other's experiences. and it was cool! i could talk with one alter and then catch up another alter later about what we talked about! it was fun!

i knew a girl with psychosis who heard voices in static and running water but didn't want to get rid of them cause they never said anything distressing and they were familiar and comfortable. that's awesome! how cool is the variance of human experience??
