Humbaba guardian of the cedar forest had one of those.

Well you see minors under 25 years old should not be allowed to get gender reassignment surgery because what if they go to the clinic but instead of giving them a normal penis the nurses mess up and give them the evil penis. That's irreversible

Corporations have weaponized tech illiteracy as to make exploitation a selling point.

Technophobes need to apologise for "just put it in plain English you stupid machine!" because, well for one the decline in accurate error messages in favour of simplicity has contributed to the rise of tech illiteracy, but also because now whenever an "app" has a net connection error it will pop up a box saying something like "oo ooopsie! Your super duper feed went poo poo. We'll try again soon!" which having said to me by a corporation is about 8 million times worse than having to hear the word "network".

This! Adventure Time feels genuine. It feels like a world where queer people just exist. Queerness in Steven Universe feels like the writers thought of it as a scifi element. But Adventure Time just feels like queer people exist in it the same way they do in our world.

I can't believe this was a season 5 episode btw. Season 5 out of 10 seasons. In 2013. A year before korrasami. Just casually open with Bubblegum sniffing the FUCK out of this shirt she got from Marceline. A fat fucking snoof and rub and a satisfied sigh. She got it from a girl she broke up with several centuries ago and is at this point just barely on speaking terms with. Marceline does not know she does this. Absolutely deranged behaviour. The down baddest anyone's ever been. The fact people were still debating whether she was gay after this. Pearl steven universe is nothing next to this shit

Well, I'm 21 now. So perhaps I'm speaking to myself more than anything.

Than again I rarely take any actions before I've consumed coffee.

Tumblr, it is 625 am, I’ve been up for a bit more than an hour, and I won’t have caffeine in me for at least another 2 hours. How am I expected to function like this?

If I can't trust you to support trans femboys then every queer person you do support has to constantly be proving to you that they aren't something you consider invalid.

Can someone tell me where these feminine trans guys with massive tits who wear push-up bras and skimpy outfits that I keep seeing transphobes complain about are? I’d love to see massive tboy boobs.

Because you defy the grave by existing, determination flows through your blood.

I've seen people do this. It's possible. Most people can't tell the difference between a switch and a tablet from afar.

guys

if I put it on mute and keep my head down, I could totally get away with playing Pokemon in my lecture

should I do it

Hey, young worldbuilders. Here's three peices of advice.

- there is a difference between a speculative fiction element in your world that couldn't exist in real life, and something not making logical sense. Think of it like the faerie and walrus thing, your world should have a minimal amount of walrus moments.

- it's 100% fine to not know things about your world. It's better to have a world that has unexplained elements then a world that's empty because you only put things in you should know something about. If you're filling out a map there should probably be a few countries you know very little on, trust me.

- scale is important in keeping your setting grounded. An entire planet can have multiple civilizations, and a thousand years is a lot longer than you think. With timescale specifically compare it to the real world timescales. Trust me.

For some reason almost nobody reblogged this story, I put a lot of work into it. Usually my work gets more than this.

Please reblog this story or you'll make the demon sad.

There's a demon that's been spotted around your city, around your neighborhood. All the local monster hunters are getting ready to find it, it won't be the first time some dangerous creature got loose in your city and had a hunt out for it. But this one is dangerous, she's faster than most cyptids, humanoid but not from a humanoid species that's known or common, and she's deadly, a few days after she's spotted its found that she kills. Somebody was found dead in the winter snow, on a street corner, with her claw marks on his chest.

You're not a monster hunter. But you are interested in these types of things, and you thought you spotted her one night and chose to give chase, against your better judgment you gave chase. You just want to see her, you just want to see something so strange, so inhuman. And when you see her she's as strange as you can imagine, most of her looks humanoid, slender and graceful, like the most beautiful human you've ever seen, but she has eyes with slit pupils like a cats, and long horns coming from her head, and sharp teeth in her mouth, bat like wings come out her back, and a scorpion's tail from the base of her spine, and where her genitals should be, instead there's the body and head of a snake coming out of her body. She's beautiful and horrifying.

When she comes near you she doesn't hurt you, she just looks at your camera. She doesn't seem to know what it is. When she realizes you're as harmless as you are she let's down her guard. You're afraid, but you slowly realize she's not interested in hurting you. She seems cold, it's very cold and she's not wearing any clothing. You offer to let her into your apartment, just for a night, just because nomatter what she is she deserves to be warm.

She lays on your bed for awhile, she seems so excited just to be on a bed, just to see a bed. She spends awhile under the covers. You were originally planning on letting her sleep on your couch, but she seems so excited to have a comfy bed. She finds one of your plushes and starts cuddling it at one point. You've never seen someone so happy just to have a place to rest.

In the morning the demon is still there. You don't want to kick her out. You bring her food and she seems really paranoid, it seems like a lot of people have hurt her before. You have to leave the room while she eats. But she does seem really happy to have something to eat at all.

Eventually you ask her about who she is. She says she doesn't have a name, and doesn't remember when she was born. She admits to having killed those people, which scares you to be reminded of, it scares you to hear her say it. But she tells you they shot at her, and she doesn't seem like a good enough lier to lie about that. They shot at her the momment they saw her. She was demonized for it, but it's the right of all creatures to attack someone trying to kill them, rather than die.

She really likes being in your apartment. You let her barrow your clothes, though she doesn't like wearing clothing, except for pajamas which she wears when she sleeps. You show her cartoons she can watch, and give her paper and pencils to draw with. It takes awhile for her to be willing to show you her drawings, but when she does they're quite good, you compliment them, and her face lights up. It takes her awhile to feel comfortable being touched by you too, but when she let's you she starts to love your affection, she likes being pet, and hugged, and cuddled, you don't think she's felt these things in a long time.

You let her stay longer than you expected too. There's still people hunting her. And there's still the winter, she says she's been through worse, but it's getting colder. Eventually you even introduce her to some freinds who you know you can trust. You just let her rest there, and part of you home this can just be a way she can exist, getting to draw, and have her head pet, and laying in bed when she wants to. You end up talking with her a lot, she's passionate about stories, and about things she finds pretty, and she loves asking you about the world, and about humanity, about all these things that are alien to her.

Eventually she tells you she has to leave. You try to tell her to stay a little longer, but it's a demon's nature to be free. She's been hurt by humans before, hurt by more than cold and bullets, but by binding spells, and deals she shouldn't have made. And as spring comes she needs to find a new city, and new space to exist it. You spend your last night together cuddling in your bed, and she tells you of ancient lands, and stories nobody else remembers. And then in the morning she's gone, she said she might visit you again, but for now she's gone. You thought you would see her leave but she spared you that pain, she thanked you for being warm to her as you fell asleep, and let your hands run across her cold skin. And now your room lays empty.

"Autism Speaks of the Jewish Community" is such a perfect way to describe jpv. It puts so much into words.

Another idiot for the blocklist

Sir this is the being impregnated by a werewolf website.

do you take a werewolf boyfriend to the vet or the doctor. this is too complicated

Shoutout to the ancient shoemaker. They did a good job.

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.

I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.

Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.

And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!

Is that not just the coolest shit ever????

I honestly hope someday people don't see sex workers as something shameful. I hope some day it's something you can tell your family and have them be happy about it.

Her name is Kaylen Ward. Thanks legend!

I like how the blue line goes down more in the first years then in the later years, to show that he will in fact roll back the little amounts of progress he makes.

oh Hillary, never change. this is her message on earth day.

oh and btw

They belive the fundamental state of women is being potential victims of men. They believe this is nature. And when you belive women are fundamentally weak and need protecting you fundamentally believe that any equality between genders, or blurring of gender lines, is impossible.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

[whereserpentswalk]

Freindly reminder that interacting with these studies can lead to real world harm. If an article can tell the world where grey and black market hrt is that can lead to crackdowns on it and new laws being written. It will lead to death.

REMINDER TO NOT TALK TO THE GUARDIAN ABOUT DIY HRT IF ASKED ❗️❗️❗️

Susanna Rustin is a huge TERF too, and a quick search of her name on The Guardian brings up repeated proof.
