If I dont just get over myself and post this thing then it will inevitably get forgotten about again so here’s that (now finished) drawing I mentioned yesterday
Dewey would be the biggest drama queen when he’s sick and you cannot convince me otherwise.

to be honest late last year I realized that for a while I'd been absorbing some misogynistic and in some cases specifically transmisogynistic beliefs and attitudes from the Internet Culture at large and I really didn't like that. I don't need to get into the personal feelings and relationships that played a role in it but suffice to say I needed to break out of a self-defeating echo chamber. so I started reading feminist, queer feminist, transfeminist poetry and essays and books and I followed more trans women online who spoke up about transmisogyny and uplifted other transfems and pretty quickly all the angry raging feminism of my teenage years came rushing back to me.
so to see the current trend of transmascs online doubling down on erasing and belittling transfem voices, sexually harassing and threatening women who disagree with them, it's like I can hear them thinking "well, I'm a guy, I can't treat normal cis women like shit or I'd be a misogynist, but it's fine to do to transfems because we're the same yknow they're-" they're fucking what follow through with that thought. say it.
like did we all decide to forget that privilege doesnt mean special treatment from the world it means advantage over certain others and not having the same violence and victimization and oppressive forces leveraged against you as they do, and it's benefiting even passively from the systems that keep those others disenfranchised - transmascs absolutely hold privilege over transfems and benefit from transmisogyny whether we like it or not, regardless that we may share other axies of oppression like transphobia, or possibly race, ability, class.
why the fuck are all of yall so much more willing to wallow in your own perceived misery and drag trans women down with you rather than use our fucking privilege to uplift their voices, promote their stories and art, materially support the transfems in our communities, and educate ourselves on the diversity of queer experience?

I have been putting off the grad school stuff out of like, "I need to get some experience before I go back to school and dump that kind of money because I've chosen a field that doesn't have a lot of jobs and doesn't have a lot of/any funding to offset the cost and I need to make sure I'm going into it setting myself up for success." But I haven't tried to even get any volunteer experience so what are we actually doing here, Meegs?

okay okay okay so in trying to come up with a headcanon for what instrument Pete would play if he needed to (clarinet) I've come to a very important youngest-sibling-of-poor-parents conclusion:
it isn't what instrument peter would want to learn to play (listen, I know it's clarinet, but in a world where it isn't) because those are expensive and I don't think pete is musically driven enough to really bother putting a lot of effort into convincing his parents to buy him an instrument or saving up for one on his own,,,,,,,,, no.
whatever instrument pete would know how to play is whatever ted would buy because he was convinced knowing how to play an instrument would make girls think he was hot
and then (very important note: this is coming from a bass player myself) the only answer to what a pathetic, kind of gross guy with very little perception of what women would find hot who probably heard one time on twitter that guys playing acoustic guitars were cringey would buy and promptly never practice (leading to his little brother stealing it and teaching it to himself when he was bored and under stimulated) is absolutely bass guitar

i say this with all the love in the world: we really, really do not have to rb posts that have racial slurs in them. i feel like there has been a surge of very racially weird posts lately and i would like that not to be the case. i don't know where these weird posts are coming from, but nobody is holding a gun to your head and saying "reblog this racist joke"

Saw Kevin Conroy's doppelganger at work yesterday but decided not to say anything because 1. are voice actors too niche for this to be appropriate? and 2. it seems weird to compare a living person to one that recently passed

all elements besides hydrogen and helium are considered metals btw. it's fucked up
That is the case in astronomy/astrophysics, yeah! It is fucked up, but I get why they do it. Shit is different in space (and especially when you're talking about stars rather than little old planets).
HOWEVER magnesium sulphide is still a salt, not a metal

my headcannon is that everyone in gotham more or less agrees that one of the Wayne family/associates is a bat, and that none of the rest of the family knows about it, but jo one can agree which Wayne or which bat
