That’s a long way to say NASA spent millions of dollars of tax payer money on bullshit because space doesn’t exist

I’m glad there’s people like this around here. Makes me feel grounded and sane.

I still don’t get why we would ever need to even explore space.

It’s onlay fucking rocks and nothing out there. Had space travel ever lead to literally anything positive to human life? Anything halfway useful?

Also

Do these things have graphite??? Literally anything is flammable if it’s hot enough, that’s not really an argument. Just don’t be stupid and set things on fire in space.

Mass scientific advancement???

Man I feel great about myself after reading this.

So there’s this terrifying statue currently touring England called KNIFE ANGEL that’s apparently supposed to raise awareness about knife crime or something but i cannot get over how the ppl organising events around this thing have absolutely no idea what tone to go for. Like what sort of Nightvale shit is this

REPTILES!

PONY VISIT!

K N I F E  A N G E L

this is what the knife angel looks like by the way. this is who the pony is visiting. this is what the reptiles are here for. the reason for the inflatables

Event: Knife Angel Family Fun Day

you have to understand that there is an overlap between drag queens and trans women and between trans women and cis lesbians and between lesbians and drag kings and between drag kings and trans men and between trans men and cis gay men and between gay men and drag queens and between lesbians and bisexual women and between gay men and bisexual men and between lesbians and asexual women and between gay men and asexual men and between all sexualities and nonbinary people and between butches and transmascs and between binary trans people and genserqueer people.

basically what I'm saying is that we're all family. there aren't clear divides or walls that separate us. and that's the point. being easily separated into perfect neat little boxes is exactly what queerphobic people want. don't let your oppressers trick you into thinking your family is your enemy.

if you tried to map out our community, you wouldn't get a bunch of neat circles that don't touch or overlap or have any relationship with each other at all. you'd get this.

But for real, I don't know why Cartoon Network ever thought Speedy Gonzales would offend anyone. He has no negative qualities that I can think of. I cannot come up with even one.

He actually fed an entire village once.

and like.... mexicans fuckin LOVE speedy. they were pissed as all hell when the “oh but he could be viewed as a racist stereotype booo :(” shit started coming out like over a decade ago. Like nah man, he’s just a vato living out them American Dreams(TM) we came to this country for, and y’all takin him away from us? Fuck outta here

I remember when it happened, and it was actually over 20 years ago. No one had even protested--CN just obtained the exclusive rights to broadcast Looney Tunes, and got skittish about Speedy until there was a massive uproar from people in Mexico, and he was declared a cultural icon.

He's heroic, polite, selfless, and just as quick thinking as he is quick on his feet. It's kind of amazing he was created in 1953.

I also like Slowpoke Rodriguez, 'cuz he's just big chillin'.

I ranted about it in chat rooms.

How much does T affect your voice? specifically your singing voice if you have answers for that, or if you know of any sources that’d be awesome. Theres not much information that i can find, and i really don’t want to lose my voice after going on T

Everyone who goes through testosterone puberty will experience a period of change in their voice- it takes time, but eventually it will inevitably settle in again.

I know it's scary to think about change (especially if you're a singer!), but keep in mind that young cis male singers also go through this! Voices change, sometimes dramatically- it really depends on genetics- and that's very, deeply normal.

I've seen singers recommend just keeping up with vocal training and practice as their voice changes; you might think about looking into resources specifically for cis men going through puberty, since transmascs tend not to get that kind of attention.

And as for the timeline; my voice started to change within two months (being generous) and is still changing in smaller ways, about 2.5 years later. It probably won't completely finish for sure until 6 years out from your start date, but it varies person-to-person, and after the first year or so it tends to slow down a lot.

You can try taking low-dose testosterone if you want, too. Some singers recommend it because it slows down the pace of the changes, but bear in mind that in the end, the results will be about the same. It's just a matter of how long it takes you to get there.

One day people will all come to the conclusion that reducing manhood to "evil, bad" and indirectly suggesting that "all men should die" leads to people staying in the closet far longer than they should.

And maybe one day they'll apologize for forcing trans men and other queer men to stay in the closet (which unfortunately I highly doubt), but we got a lot of redfem (alternative spelling) shit to wade through and toss out before we ever get there and it'll be a while before it spreads to the rest of society.

Too many of you conceptualize trans men as having access to all the advantages of cis womanhood and cis manhood combined, when the reality is that most of us just see the disadvantages of failed manhood and failed womanhood combined

This is important.

This is what people are.

We want to be useful, and we want to make people happy

Pay attention to this.
