"but if we label autism & depression as both 'neurodivergent,' that's like saying they're the same thing!" truuuuue like when my friend & i stand under the same umbrella & instantly meld into one person like in a cronenberg movie

#DO YOU NEED HELP ON THE BASIC MECHANICS OF HOW AN UMBRELLA WORKS #this is about tumblr user lesbiancalamari who isn't worth reblogging #''i just don't care anymore'' girl you've been arguing abt this for TWO WEEKS who are you fooling #like damn just be wrong. it's not hard. you're better at it than you think

"Young Girl with Squiddle," referred to in some archaic texts as "Bruja Infanta,"¹ is commonly considered a seminal work of the Early Carapacian Revival.² Like a majority of the paintings from this era, the original is assumed to have been lost during the fall of Prospit.³ Only alchemized copies remain today.⁴

#homestuck #jade harley #wrote the caption as a funny little joke and then was confronted w how much of a nightmare museum ethics would be #in a world w easy access to instant perfect copies of everything. is the original even worth anything. how do you determine authenticity!! #good thing all the museums got destroyed #i don't have an excuse for this one i just wanted to draw a girl in a pretty dress. sorry baby jade

btw while I’m still being annoying, my favorite example to bring up in the “hygiene products that you can just pick up off the shelf at the store can have KNOWN carcinogens in them” conversation is coal tar. This one’s still crazy to me. It’s used in anti-dandruff products for its “anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties" but it’s also LIKE. a hazardous substance... but it can still go in your shampoo bc “aww but it’s only SOME poison, it’s not like, a LOT of poison, so we can still sell it and it’s ok”

#BUT IT'S STILL OKAY TO PUT IT IN PRODUCTS... WE'RE NOT PULLIN THIS ONE OFF SHELVES? #like there are OTHER. antidandruff products. GIRL. #also this same product also has a blue dye in it. that ALSO. HAS. A CANCER RISK ON IT #you don't even NEEEEEED THE DYE. shampoo doesn't NEED pigment in it AT all #at least with coal tar they go aww but what if your scalp is itchy! then maybe it's worth skin cancer #okay but is the goo being blue THAT important? crazy crazy #sergle.txt #like you can GO to walmart. pick up a product called Therapeutic Dandruff Shampoo #and use it bc your scalp is itchy and flaky #and you don't know that there's Multiple ingredients in it that are known cancer risks #and several other ingredients that are irritants #which. you're trying to NOT be itchy right? #why would you assume that something innocuous like that could be harmful? well you wouldn't! #bc you shouldn't have to. #but my point stands that you can't do any harm by Checking #There are absolutely NO warnings on the packaging that this has any health risk WHATSOEVER #it just says how therapeutic and soothing and helpful it'll be for you #and you're like that's great! time to buy #how is anyone supposed to know until someone tells you?

Trans women. I'm grabbing you by the shoulders and yelling. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE SKINNY TO BE FEMININE AND PRETTY AND CUTE. PLEASE STOP MAKING DIETS PART OF YOUR TRANSITION GOALS. WEIGHT LOSS IS A SCAM. I LOVE YOU. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

#I see so many transfems say they want to have “flat stomachs” or do diet and exercise regimes to try and get an “hourglass figure” #and it really worries me. girls you do not have to destroy yourselves to fit into unachievable beauty standards #the vast majority of cis women don't even fit those standards #and the same goes for you transmascs! I see you! I see you trying to get smaller chests and hurting yourselves with weight loss routines #and excessive workouts. it's not worth it. weight loss has OVER a 90% long-term failure rate and there's a reason for that #I assure you whatever diet you think you've found that “works for you” won't be working so well 5 years from now #and you're going to blame yourself for “slacking off”. but it's not you. it was never you. it was designed to fail. #these standards are made to hurt people and then sell them a false solution at the price of your health #I encourage you to transition if you'd like and live your best life I really do. but please please please do so SAFELY. #if weight loss is part of your transition goals please reevaluate WHY you believe thinness is necessary for achieving femininity #(or masculinity or androgyny but this stuff particularly affects women in the way it's marketed) #do research on fatphobia and the roots of weight loss culture. Learn where these ideas come from and why they're so prevalent. #It's extremely important #take care. stay safe. love you very much #trans #fat liberation #transgender #lgbt #trans rights #fat positivity #diet culture #fatphobia #transfem #trans positivity #transgirl #trans women #trans woman

Note to myself:

Learn how to say no without feeling guilty. Even if you're scared, learn how to stand up for yourself and also how to not be influenced by others' opinion of you, and please... please learn how to be more confident and actually acknowledge your self worth. I'm begging you and I love you.

#I need to fucking learn this #that's how I end up in situations which make me cry and feel like shit #but I don't want to upset others so I smile and say yes even if I' #I'm not convinced #girl please please learn how to do it even if you're scared #sacrificing your happiness and comfort all the time is not worth it #sorry for the rant but today I feel like pure shit #guya posts

I'm not sure how to put this exactly, but. In some episodes, we really get to see Stan show some qualities, we get to see why Dorothy still had some good times with him, and that makes the whole 38-year-marriage-turned-bitter-divorce worse to me. Because it means he had it in him to be a good person and a good husband all that time and he just didn't choose to be.

#once again thinking about dorothy's marriage. it truly is my roman empire #this thought was sparked by watching s4e10: stan takes a wife #and he is genuinely not that bad in that episode! he's cheap and wears a girdle #but he's also supportive of dorothy. sweet. he helps her get much needed information on sophia. (though he did get her favorite food wrong) #and his fiancée seems to genuinely love him so he can't be that bad to her #but then this is the same man that made 38 years of dorothy's life horrible #cheated on her all throughout their marriage #insults her often and happily #left her for a young girl without even having the decency to tell her in person #and it's just. if he was horrid all the time it would be one thing #but *some* times he actually behaves like a decent person. so he knows how to do it! #he just doesn't think it was worth it to be that person for dorothy #and that feels so much worse to me #anyway. kudos to blanche and rose for stopping dorothy from making the biggest mistake of her life in the most hilarious possible way #they were a pleasure to watch #(this is also why the s6 plot where dorothy almost marries him again was always so strange to me?? like. i don't think they'd let her) #(or they'd at least try to convince her otherwise) #the golden girls

If I see another goddamn LukeJamie thing where Luke is portrayed as the stoic grumpy yet caring seme prince being bothered by silly prankster uke Jamie I'm going to start committing murder and arson

When will shippers stop trying to fit characters into narrow lil cliche personality trait boxes just so it makes sense for them to be acting out these insipid little tropey scenarios, I am so close to turning into a shitty gatekeeper that complains about tourists I swear to god

#terminal talks #turning into Joseph Joestar #*shaking fist* I'll never forgive the Japanese!! #why am I seeing Luke quibbling about not wanting to hit girls when he literally says men and women fight on equal footing #why are people trying to chivalry him up when Metro City doesn't give a shit like you can beat up grannies and everyone's like cool #that's not Luke that's Lucas #and you westerners aren't off the hook either #I see y'all making Luke out to be a complete brainless himbo when he's very clearly a jock #which is a different genre of brainless #Like man #I don't usually get heated over fandom stuff cause it's not worth it like 110% of the time #live and let live #etc etc #but constantly seeing this weird not-Luke is incredibly annoying and it's ALWAYS the shippers doing it

When somebody only uses my chosen name while putting me down, it kind of makes me wish I didn't have a name at all.

And when somebody only uses my pronouns when they try to coerce me into something, then switch back to they/them when talking about me to anybody else, it kind of makes me uncomfortable af.

I sincerely do not enjoy being labeled or referred to. Being referred to is such a negative experience for me irl.

Yet not giving people a set of name/pronouns when they ask automatically seems to make them think you're secretly a serial killer trying to cover up something?????? Or like you're untrustworthy and must be hiding because you're a Bad Person instead of just not wanting to label yourself.

Can I just please not be forced to label myself for everybody else's comfort?

I feel like that information is so personally intimate anyways like unless you know me and we're close, why do you even care? I don't think it's necessary for the first stages of getting to know somebody even though in this culture we've normalized it to be that way.

Plus if I don't give you a name then I have the opportunity to earn one. Give me a name that you think I deserve and let it be what you honor me by instead! How about that? It's probably the only way I'll be comfortably perceived since some people will change my labels as they see fit regardless. Just call me what you like, I feel like my name/pronouns have been corrupted as is

#i feel weird about having a name and a gender and pronouns assigned to me.... such a weird thing to make a big deal #i mean it's a big deal as in you need to write names down for job apps #and when i walked in to request for emergency aid the person looking at my case asked for my pronouns #which just felt so irrelevant and it didn't make me feel any more respected #and i can tell some people are so uncomfortable using the pronouns that i say are mine that they'll opt out for ones they give me instead #which is like WHY DID YOU ASK IF YOU WERE JUST GOING TO DO THAT ANYWAYS #silly things just don't make sense and to me they bring more trouble than they're worth #those things have been used as weapons against me so why keep giving ammo yk? #also i like the process of earning a nickname #one time this girl got offended that i reffered to her as snake girl the second time we met and i was like??? #imagine being offended that somebody remembered you for having 4 corn snakes instead of using your boring old name #like when people call me fuwa i feel like they're honoring me as a blogger #i get it i get it this culture is just so strictly uncreative and boring #if i had a cool new name from each person who knew me i would be so cool with that #like if somebody i met found out i liked sasuke and then started referencing to me as sasuke boy i would actually be so happy #idk dude #also sorry to that girl for calling her snake girl but honestly her loving her 4 snakes actually felt more significant to me than her name #in other cultures they refer to parents as “[insert child's name]'s mom/dad” and it's actually seen as being so respectful #like it's the family bond that gets honored instead of the individual and idk maybe some people take that to be a negative thing but #imagine as a parent loving your kid so much and then everybody identifies you as the parent who loves their kid #maybe that's dehumanizing in a sense idk #i see it as an honorable thing to be bestowed by others #yeah maybe people can be mean and call you “poop boy” for the one time you shit your pants while drunk #i get not liking being called “poop boy” but like dude... you're a legend and the story behind you earning that name would be legendary #idk i guess it's all about perspective #i don't know if I'm making sense #feel free to share thoughts #late night blogging

When me and my old bestie were friends we were talking about Molly and she was really insistent on the idea that if I did Molly at the club I would go for whatever twink looked the most like a trans girl at any given time and not give a fuck when they told me they weren't a girl. She was very insistent that girls and twinks were interchangable and kept arguing with me about it.

Now I have a lot of thoughts on this mantra, this idea that every guy who wants to fuck a trans woman is secretly gay or bored and nothing more, that "gender is fake" is just a shorthand for "everyone should have the same idea on sexuality and gender as me or else they're a boring vanilla nerd", most of which waters down to "dude I don't think I would ever do this. If that's what you've done, cool, but I wouldn't. I know me better than I know myself, and the fact that you don't think this feels very presumptuous and rude. We've never slept together and as far as I know that's never going to change, so you have nothing to base this belief in my alleged sexual fluidity on other than, like, it's the cool new edgy queer thing to say on Tumblr right now, which is stupid. You're also seeing my sexuality-- one that I take a lot of pride and find a lot of comfort in-- as fluid in a way that I've never once alluded to, and that makes me uncomfortable. Drop this subject now and don't bring it up to me again." But at the time I didn't have the words or the time for all that so I just said "yeah imma be real dude idgaf about twinks. I need a fat bitch not a toothpick." Which wasn't a lie. And that seemed to shut her up.

#Me and that girl have had so many conversations about twinks. And every time I've told her I don't care about them and their #overrepresentation in queer spaces has given me body dysmorphia & dysphoria in the past so I'd rather not think about them if I can help it. #But Nevertheless She Persisted. #Also worth noting I've done Molly about three times since that interaction and have exclusively hit on grinded on and made out with women. #So I really do think she was just projecting. Which again if that's how she rolls cool but that's not for me.
