Every time I think to myself “Surely 82 degrees at 70% humidity isn’t as bad as I’m remembering it” and then it’s even worse than I remember it and I collapse as soon as I get back to my apartment

bathroom torment is very real ideally we would all just be allowed to go piss without worry but its not always so simple

#i pass as a man #but im still paranoid someone will clock me if i don't dress in baggy ts and shorts/jeans

Are we back to 2018-2020 era tumblr where people would ask you to ‘trigger tag’ non-passing trans men again or are the people in my asks just being annoying again

hate to be that person but siwas rebrand is a deliberate thing to cover up the shit she put the children on her show through. aside from a kid with medical conditions being forced to continue practice even though she was bleeding from her belly button (she was told to just put a pad on her clothes to hide it and continue) she also ripped them off for a lot of money.

i wouldn't be surprised at all if it is deliberate. but that also doesn't really change my point. every single thing i've been recommended about this situation has been framed around her being Weird and Cringe. because people have been mocking his girl for her entire life & it just so happens that she has also done harmful shit which they can use to justify their obsession with mocking her. however genuine her feelings are wrt the new aesthetic, people are still more concerned with hating this girl they find annoying and weird instead of making a substantive criticism of her as an equal.

& i also think its important to point out that like. her mother seems to be the one dictating her business decisions? & i feel like its pretty easy to draw a line from her growing up on a famously heinous dance competition show to her acting heinous alongside her mom on her own show. this is not to say she's not responsible for her actions, but i also think its telling that she is the one who gets 100% of the blame while her mom isn't brought up?

like other child stars have also acted like assholes once they hit adulthood. with various motivations. and they aren't excused from their moral responsibility, but its also important to understand where they are coming from. i've seen people bring up that's she's perpetuating the cycle of abuse- which is true!- but like. has she even really had a chance to escape her own (potential, i dont want to put words to experiences i don't know about) abuse? why isn't more negative press directed at her mother, who set her up for this shit and is financially benefiting from it?

we can and should criticize former child stars but i think its vital we do so while understanding the kinds of vulnerable situations they can be in. & we should do so because we want them to grow as a person, not because we think they are Cringe and their harmful behavior is just a convenient excuse so we don't have to feel bad when we cyberbully them. i just don't see much compassion here, and i have never seen much genuine sympathy for jojo. if it is a coverup than all anyone is doing is helping them cover it up and being needlessly cruel.

yall do realize just because something has been a target of misogynistic criticism, that doesn't make stanning it completely uncritically in response some kind of revolutionary feminist praxis. right.

Boston is more expensive than LA apparently. My previously mentioned friend who likes Massachusetts was really trying to sell me on it but I’m not really finding a lot of reasons to go there. If any place is more expensive than LA you’ve reached pigs can fly levels of absurdity and I’m not going

radical feminists will talk like “i will only accept trans men into my feminism so long as they’re willing to detransition or feminize themselves, if not i dont care if they live or die and actively joke about transsexual male’s difficulties in ‘female’ spaces they need access too” and people will log online and go “wow. can you believe how radical feminists will accept trans men into their feminism? 🤔 suspicious”

I’m job searching now and from what I can gather almost all available jobs that pay sort of decently are like medical receptionist?

You know how companies used to make flour sacks with pretty flower patterns on them because mothers would make dresses out of them for their daughters? We should bring that back. Paper bags designed to be reused as wrapping paper. Jars of jam designed to look nice filled with pencils or homemade sauces. Fabric that's high quality enough to use as a patch.

Give things a second life!!

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains

Having parents who just throw money at you instead of changing their behavior is weird. Bc yes I enjoy my dad buying me video games and plushies when I’m sad. But I don’t think a $35 build a bear pompompurin is gonna fix the fact they misgender me a lot.

given how highly gendered dating and romance is, it’s not surprising that aromantic people don’t have as easy of a time fitting in with their gender or having one/knowing what it is at all. idk food for thought

the "irreversible damage" book cover is still perhaps the most succinct demonstration of how the laserfocus the detranxiety movement has on muh poor little girls is fundamentally an outgrowth of the general terror about declining (white) birth rates and white woman fertility as a dwindling resource. like, what's actually wrong with the kitschy smiling little girl in that picture? she looks pretty content for someone "mutilated." is she missing her head, brain, heart, limbs or what? anything that would obstruct her in living out her 8 decades on this earth? hell no, it's much worse than that. it's something that actually matters. she's missing her ability to produce White Babies. you're telling me we've spent decades working to overturn roe or at least make it as difficult as possible and now that we succeeded they've found a way to weasel out of being a reproductive resource anyway? that just won't do.
