Social transition being seen (by some) as this super easy thing that isn't as hard as real transitioning (medical) is bullshit. Be critical of the idea that there are some trans people who just "have it easy" because they are trans or because they are trans in ways you may not be.

Social transition is just as difficult, hard, and rewarding as medical transition. Maybe it is not as hard for some, sure, but that is not the same as thinking that social transition is inherently easier or lesser. If you're socially transitioning, your voice still matters.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #not to mention that so many people DO want to medically transition but *can't* #so it can be even harder for some when they feel social transition is their only option when they don't want it to be #but social transition carries its own risks and challenges and again rewards #and i've seen this idea plenty where it's like 'oh you don't GET my struggles because you're SOCIALLY transitioning' #and while yes i am different than some trans people to say i'm struggling *more* if i'm the only one medically transitioning is??? huh???? #i don't buy into this idea that social transition is never scary because you don't have the boot of the medical system on your back #(though non-med or pre-med transitioning people still face issues in medical settings so even THEN we aren't seperate) #like there's very few ways you can separate my issues as a medically-transitioning person and the issues of somebody who isn't... #...and by that i mean there's few ways you can separate our issues so that mine trumps theirs or that i'm seen as like... trans but More #does that make sense? #medical transitioning is important but that doesn't mean it is *more* important or that only *it* is important #you can support us who are medically transitioning without erasing the experiences and struggles of other trans people #and plus... so many of us who are medically transitioning NOW are the people who socially transitioned THEN #and dare i say i despised social transition more because of how hard it was? medical transition has been (more or less) easier... #...in that i can just *be* now

elle and emmett from the legally blonde musical are one of those m/f couples that i think work best as a woman and a man purely because their relationship and how elle wouldn't stay at harvard for him because she has grown to want true respect & success more than a man she loves' approval/desire is like so important to the themes of the story and it's the whole point and it's part of what makes them so good. on the other hand emmett could be such a hot butch lesbian it's crazy i want to eat drywall when i think about emmett forrest but a butch lesbian BUT it simply would not improve and in fact would detract from the themes of the story. they have to be m/f

#chirps #tangentially. i think that a trans man casting for emmett would be really great for a lot of reasons #the scene of elle buying him really nice men's formalwear and finding clothes that he likes and feels good in... #'take it like a man' in general would have such another layer of meaning and love to it #anyway. there would be a really interesting dimension to their relationship in terms of elle embracing hyperfemininity & emmett being trans #and how their respective relationships with & presentations of gender impede them in the upper-class Professional world of harvard #man that'd be really cool... that would add soooo much to the show... #Emmett Forrest. You Must Be Transgender Now. #tbh thinking more. t4t f/m elle/emmett would be so incredible but also so fucking devastating for certain things. BUT THEY TRIUMPH!!!!! #<- all my tags aren't me trying for a 'best of both worlds' option wrt casting. just me thinking abt how the roles gender plays in this sho #and the ways different casting choices could shine light into different facets #the 2022 west end revival had them both as black which also is really great stuff i think... i wanna find a full boot for that

great news for mylittleredgirl survival enthusiasts: i stopped taking that stimulant med today and now at 5 pm i can finally sit up without feeling like my heart or eyes will explode :) unfortunately not taking it also means the severe fatigue is back so i don't want to sit up anyway. still a net positive i suppose.

#trying not to be devastated about this!!! #how am i going to survive the in-person work upon me #starting with: how am i going to both get dressed and walk from the parking lot to the office on the same day #maybe i'll try a half dose of the med tomorrow and split the difference :/ #a doctor suggested i consider another partial leave so i can budget energy for things like Take Walk and Buy Grocery #but like come on. i can't be that coworker again. at that point can i just die in a pile of leaves #just gonna put off that option for a few weeks and Somehow make it thru until one of my colleagues gets back from overseas #the symptoms

"tee hee amazon loses money for every book you read on kindle unlimited! ☺" girl. girl this is their business model. girl this is intentional. girl this is how they became a monopoly. girl they can afford to lose this money because they make enough through stolen wages and environmental pollution. girl this is the whole point. girl if you keep supporting them there will be no other bookshops to buy from at all. girl you are helping amazon destroy the publishing world. girl this isn't a bug you are exploiting this is a feature ment to lure you in. girl you are not the predator you are the prey. girl.

#i know consumerism under capitalism is a fucking hell #but please #use your fucking brain #just a little bit #i am not saying don't buy from amazon #i am saying that if you have other options #use them #especially if the difference between the two options is just a tiny little bit of effort #amazon #capitalism #booktok #bookstagram #booktube #book tumblr #bookstore

not to be an old lady on main but discovering puzzle-nonograms.com and its mass print function has really revolutionized how i pretend to be writing down important things at work

#original #'yeah i like to unplug you know how it is' #*is listening to a vinyl record of video game music while doing Picross But It's Manual And I Printed It* #there are so many different types of puzzle options at the bottom there tho... #anyway this saved me from buying one of those LARGE TEXT PUZZLE BOOK FIVE HUNDRED PUZZLE things #the one problem with actual paper nonograms #is that with picross or murder by numbers when i fuck up i just start the whole thing over #that's a lot harder to do with a piece of paper actually #edited because i somehow forgot a very common word i wanted sshhhhh

This thing is haunted by the souls of at least three distressed children

here is the question, the question is "would your muse consciously decide to let go of someone (a stranger)'s hand, if that someone slipped over the edge of a building/cliff/etc, and if they did not let go, they'd both go over the edge together?" would you muse let go if the options were 'we both die' or 'just one'. that's the question

#controversial: #in the heat of the moment and without time to find any alternatives and rapidly cascading toward the edge and #with only milliseconds to spare and with so much apology and so much guilt. tk would let go #(controversial: Tommy would actively Order him to let go ''that's an order'' style because she would want to protect him #from having to make that decision himself. he loves his captain. he would make it himself if he had to.) #but i do think there is space for self-preservation and in fact Demand for self-preservation in the role and TK is willing to die #trying to save someone and he is happy to and Would stay in a burning bus to give cpr to a woman underwater #he is very no holds barred. but there is a difference between 'backup has to be on the way' or 'just a little longer' and #the acute 'there is no time' and he cannot Buy time and he is not Strong enough and the options really are A or B #in that scenario. and that is a very bare bones scenario. in most versions of this scenario he would hold out and find an alternative #PS pls don't. pls no 'my muse flatly rejects the premise' answers #that's nice but ksjdflksj it rejects the premise of my question and my question. Is Entirely The Premise

Honestly, I'd personally love to see D2 take some breaks. Maybe have 2-3 years between expansions with, instead of seasonal content, smaller permanent content drops (alongside our few annual special events) between. It would mean longer without brand new content, but it would also mean the new content could be more expansive, more polished, and hopefully devs having even better working conditions. Obviously the "MORE ALL THE TIME MORE MORE MORE" crowd would never survive that, but it's sort of what's needed if they want better content. (But also I suspect the only way D2 could do that would be if they swapped to a sub model, and I don't see that happening. It also wouldn't work great if they kept their FOMO model alongside a sub model, vs what some other games do where you can sub and unsub as desired and won't miss out on important story, lore, etc. content)

Same, I would really love more time between content too. I don't personally mind seasons, but I think seasons should be longer or have more time between them. Definitely fewer seasons per year.

But yeah, it would need some massive changes to how the game works, how content is managed, what players can expect and so on. Historically Destiny gamers have been quite annoyed by any longer waits between content drops which is probably partially what inspired the seasonal model. And any normal player is often oversaturated with this model as it is now, but the same people who complained before are complaining now as well. So there's no winning here with the Gamers (TM).

They did announce some changes post-TFS that they'll tell us about during the showcase so we'll probably get some insight into how things will go after. I assume there will be some changes to this model. I hope they go for more breaks and longer dev cycles.

#destiny 2 #ask #i'm personally not a fan of subsciptions of any kind they stress me out so much #when i know that something will have to be paid for each month. eugh. #this can sometimes also be a trap where you think 'i'll just cancel when i'm not playing' but then end up keeping it just in case #which ends up costing you more. pretty much every subscription service works that way to make you reluctant to switch it on and off #but depending on this is done and how content is going to drop this could potentially be a good choice for the majority of the players #i'd still love an annual pack where i can just buy everything i need and be done with it for the year #but a different option would be nice too #one thing i'm hoping they change is the seasonal stuff going away #but that will require such a huge restructuring of literally everything in the game so #we'll see in a week!

Why is it SO goddamn hard to get a goddamn plain focaccia in the Seattle metropolitan area. The thing that drives me back to the east coast is going to be the absolute lack of Italians in this city. I am trying to make a CAPRESE SANDWICH.

#this is not a hospitable zone truly #if anyone has leads on an actual Italian deli in Seattle that doesn't involve me taking a ferry to buy bread every week I would love to kno #i cannot live like this. #caprese on a sourdough loaf is just like. wrong. that's incorrect. #there are some other options at Safeway but they have like. different FLAVORED focaccia and NOT A PLAIN ONE. #hell on earth. i do not want asiago and olives introduced to my caprese ecosystem. #i am really not That Italian when it comes to food purity but on this i am unmovable #there are a lot of swear words in this post and i stand by every one of them as well.

i can’t believe piracy is such a sensitive topic on tumblr dot com i can tell you guys are not latin american

#since i was a kid my two options were: you either buy a pirated copy off the street/park or you don’t get this thing at all #and today it’s pretty much the same especially if i have to buy stuff in a different currency. i can’t afford it most people can’t #i’m from argentina. the economy is beyond fucked. but that doesn’t mean i shouldn’t be able to listen to my favorite artist. like be fucking #serious for a moment. people focus too much on charts and streams that forget that some people genuinely cannot help with that and it’s not #because we love him less or we are just cheap assholes we literally can’t afford it that’s our reality #i’m glad it’s different for you! i wish that was my case but it isn’t. i can’t do anything about it. #however i’m not gonna deprive myself from enjoying something because it’s morally incorrect or whatever. we are talking about a millionaire #here let’s not forget that small detail! now i’m gonna go listen to those links that dailytomlinson has shared. thank you goodbye 💋 #*

hang on i need opinions about this. im focusing on sites that offer multiple kinds of products not just art prints which disqualifies a lot of them.

go for whatever you feel is most accurate.

#this is mostly because ive never really gotten the difference between redbubble and society6 #aside from redbubble having a way better search system lmao #polls #redbubble #society6 #etsy #words and things #also i didnt make buying from the artist directly an option because: #1) that's not a marketplace it's just one person #2) every artist uses a different service with varying prices and products/quality #3) we all prefer to do that when it's an option #4) it is almost never an option

ive said it before and I'll say it again but id die for a xenosaga remaster

#''the remaster was cancelled mid production because there was no market'' but there's market enough for new cameos and crossovers in 2023? #''no market'' but xenoblade amiibos keep selling out within the first hour of being restocked?? #with xenoblades success and xenosaga still making new cameo/crossovers in the tales series I'd say its plenty relevant enough #I personally would buy 5+ copies if they ever released xenosaga on switch (for me my partner my sister my mom and my bestie 💅) #If they ever remaster xenosaga I am getting everyone I know a copy idc. I'll go into debt making sure it sells well #When xenosaga ep 3 released dif stores had a preorder bonus. #We got the best buy preorder but I heard each store had a different bonus? We got an art book and poster #If they did that again I'd preorder from each place to make sure I get all the options.. would be a decent excuse for getting so many copie #I need Xenogears Xenosaga 1-3 and Xenoblade X switch ports plss.... #I would even get a ps5 if it was a PlayStation exclusive idc just please remaster xenosaga I beg 💔

im going to be so fr.... i hate it when im shopping for something, perusing online or in person for stuff in my size and approximate measurements... and a skinny woman says to me “you should try poshmark instead” 🥺. u should look on there for stuff because it’s second hand 🥺 u should go to good will and thrift stores bc it’s more ethical 🥺 like i really wish u would be quiet bc u know damn well poshmark doesn’t do returns and that goodwill rarely carries good shit in my size. like ma’am, i’m fat and that transforms the ENTIRE way i shop for clothes compared to you. clothes are made for bodies like yours.... i’m expected to make do. 

#i hope im making sense i just.. #sorry it is simply my BIGGEST pet peeve #like... it's already hard to shop in regular stores for things my size bc of my measurements #and to have a skinny person come up to me and say 'use poshmark to buy pants ' like they have just... #opened the doors of fashion for me... like no you have not. #i will still have the same exact problems as i do with every other store... except on poshmark i can't return the clothes #idk i just.... sometimes i think that a lot of thin people think that shopping for clothes as a fat person is the same as shopping- #when you're thin #when that is.... simply not the case #literally.... everything is different #and the fundamental difference is that clothes are made for skinny shapes whereas fat bodies have to compromise #idk i just... i have a lot of thoughts about this #but i genuinely hate being told that bc miss do you think i haven't already looked?? #like i use poshmark for t-shirts and like... big jackets #everything else i need to be able to return #and i also think that they don't consider... what it's like to try and consume ethically under capitalism.. #when you don't fit the general group that clothes or those sustainable options were made for #like any fat person can tell you how FRUSTRATING it is to try and thift for pants or shop for clothes #because all of those sustainable brands RARELY carry things in inclusive sizes #so to already STRUGGLE with that while shopping... and then to be told 'use poshmark instead... go to good will' #when those options... do not function the same for fat bodies... will never not be irritating #vent #tw: body image #tw: fatphobia

WIP: Gomp's Robe

I haven't shared any WIPs in a while, so here's Gromph's gray archmage robe!

This one is a prototype and will be my own personal plush, so I glued the accent ribbon on instead of sewing it. It's not as noticeable in person, but definitely shows in the photo. That said I might stick with gluing them, but use a metallic glue stick instead of the clear ones to add a few extra visual effects, since it's a little too thin to sew.

I have a few more little accents I'd like to add, like embroidered runes, but I'm not sure how well my glow thread will show up on this fabric D:

#felted dragon shop #legend of drizzt #gromph baenre #I'm also looking at different rat charms so I can give him a little Kyorli pendant #I will have 2-3 Gromphs available for purchase within the next week or so #so if you're interested let me know! #also I love love love this velvet fabric it is SO much easier to sew with than the stuff I was using before #when I can afford to buy more in different colors I'm gonna do it #and start making a lot of alternate clothing options

step 1: buy a touch screen laptop step 2: use it to control your phone with the touch pad

#txt #absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary that this works but damn i'm having a great time with it #i can now: use my phone with my laptop with windows smart link #and also: use a mouse + laptop keys on my phone with samsung multi control #now i really want to be able to control my laptop with my phone tbh #but originally i discovered that last part bc i'm considering buying a tv and using it to mirror my laptop so i have a bigger screen #for tv shows/movies and the like so i wanted to see my options #and it'd most likely be samsung cause i'm just a samsung girlie what can i say #so i could definitely connect my phone to the tv with smart view #but my laptop doesn't have smart view and i just wanted to check if it would connect to a samsung tv #and samsung website says that it does but windows implies that i'd need smth for the connection #but idk if windows' mind would change if it knew that it would be a samsung samsung connection #this all started bc i want to watch eurovision with a friend btw anyway #not sh #saskia talks #wildest part is actually that i can wake up and unlock my phone with my mouse like that is truly something #then again i wake it every time i accidentally put my mouse too far to the right #also also i can now locate my phone and laptop #and the address is almost right but damn they are not even close to each other on that map. different cities in fact
