I read this as "infernal bleeding" at first glance, and tbh, that's even better

a little bit of internal bleeding the loveliest accessory a man could wear

It's funny, no one was crying when I lived all those years of irreversibly living without HRT

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time

Okay but the rhubarb growing sounds slap actually? Like I'd put that album on while hanging out.

‘relationships are work’ means ‘you have to put effort into loving each other intentionally & learning how to love each other and communicating properly’ not ‘your relationship makes you feel stressed and sad most of the time & the other person disrespects you and treats you bad but you stay anyway’

He's using will and grace as an example, too, like.. yeah, it was a show built on exactly the same stereotypes.

Gay marriage was still illegal too. It was a rough time. It's still a rough time, if we are being honest

When a meme is representing the "bad/wrong" opinion with an image of a drooling person with a dented head, especially contrasted to white people with blonde hair and blue eyes, maybe it's time to reconsider posting or reblogging it. Just a thought.

You can’t cut soft cheese in thin slices or wedges because it just gets squished, but you can with hard cheese, cause the protein holds it together. Casein point:

Your vibes are the tools of fools.

ESPECIALLY if you think you are an expert in profiling. I will not elaborate.

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

One word I see really abused in self help type materials, especially when jobs get mentioned is "anymore"

There will be a sentence like "you probably started in your current job thinking you'd be working in a certain way and you now feel the workplace has changed and your values don't align with the company anymore"

^Just as an example

And the thing is, I think that for a lot of people trying to use such self help materials, "anymore" is already an optimistic exaggeration. Plenty of people are trying to improve a life that has never been better, that has always been broken -- or at least been broken as long as they can remember. Or in the career sense, plenty of people want fulfilling work who have never taken a job they believed in because they have never once had the opportunity.

I understand where the creators of such things are coming from but ultimately for me personally, it rockets me out of the material. My brain starts screaming "oh, this isn't for me. This is for people who have at one point or another been okay. This has been for people who are experiencing a degradation of self." And like, for me? I'm living the best I've ever lived in a lot of ways- career, family, friends, but it's still a struggle, I still do things out of line with my values just to get by, I still stomp all over who I am.

I know intellectually these kinds of discussions are still useful to me but the whole "anymore" rhetoric just makes it hard to feel that way. Like I've broken immersion with self help books or videos.

This, really.

Asking someone for their AGAB is almost never the relevant question, even in a medical context.

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]
