I also grew up in a catholic school, which was slightly more explicit with it. But still catholic school sex ed tells basically nothing. Especially for queer students

Thinking about the sex ed I got in Catholic school that didn't actually tell us about sex, just puberty, but split the boys and girls up so basically all I learned about was body hair. They did show us a picture of a vagina, but that was completely by accident, they opened the book on the wrong page. Overall it was about as explicit as the time a nun came in to talk to us about the bible that same year.

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

#fuck open floor plans I want a secret tunnel

you bottle Miette??

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

"In 2000 years, archaeologists will still be able to tell your skeleton was male!"

False. Any credible archaeologist would be far more interested in your burial goods than in your sex. Use whatever pronouns you want, but be sure to have them bury you with 120 bronze axe heads so they know what a powerful warlord you were.

Reblogging because original had a typo. It’s 1600s not 1400s

Yup, I’m actually working on a paper on the diary of a trans man from the 1600s. I know the word trans wasn’t used however I think it’s an apt descriptor as in the original Spanish of the diary he constantly referred to himself with the -o endings for adjectives. As well as other accounts confirming that he had top surgery and very publicly lived as male.

(Diary is called Lieutenant Nun and it’s very cool. There are also many cases similar to this but are mostly trials for violating sumptuary laws verses an actual diary)

Anyways point is trans people have already existed and you don’t have to look that hard to find them in history.

Literally at my university they will protect the Christian fundamentalists who come onto campus and harass students. But when students advocate against a genocide it’s “concerning” and “disruptive”
