"Make sure all beliefs and practices make sense in your mind before you make them part of your life."

The Hierophant, The Gilded Tarot Companion by Barbara Moore.

I feel like more people need to hear this, especially my fellow Christians. Jesus was all about questioning authority. Choosing to follow Christ does not mean you get to cast out every other spiritual practice.

New weird dream: I had to write this French exam, but one of the questions was "list in order the ingredients of the instant ramen you had for dinner last night". Uhhhhhm no thank you.

The worst part about being a nobody content creator is when you pick up one of your own references as a vocal stim, and people inevitably ask what you're referencing, but it feels far too self-centered to say you're referencing your own works.

Beth McCarthy gives trans fan new name

My Reddit account was suspended for 2 days for "promoting hate" and I genuinely cannot figure out why. My whole ass account.

So because I can't post this on the trans subs, I need to subject you all to this:

I went out in public shirtless for the first time!! Granted, I was wearing a PFD for most of it, but a good portion of my chest was still exposed. So not only was I shirtless for the first time around other people, I also had the immense privilege of being visibly trans today.

I live in Ontario, Canada, where all genders are allowed to be topless in public. Not only that, but Canada is one of the safest countries to live as a trans person. Until these basic human rights are afforded to every person, being visibly trans is a privilege that I'm so grateful for.

Note: I'm 9 months post op. My scars are still at risk for hyperpigmentation from UV exposure. I did have sunscreen on, but I otherwise made the informed decision to not cover my scars. Tbh, I don't want my scars to fade. They've healed really well so far, and I'm pretty confident hyperpigmentation is only a cosmetic concern at this point in my healing.

This is the only appropriate response to your partner telling you they're trans:

Prove to their friend group that you can please them sexually.

So I've got this friend whose nervous because she's trans and dating this guy who she hasn't told yet because they've only been on a two dates. For this story let's call the friend Jane and the guy she was dating Jason. Happy ending don't worry. So I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having and she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful. She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy. So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction when she tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her it's no big deal. He's baffled, so we explain what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet... "Oh you have a dick?" "... yeah." He look's around at the room full of people with baited breath, his clearly a little afraid girl friend says "Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"

And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we had for grilling and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at the group absolutely beaming with pride. My mans saw his worried girlfriend and her support network and thought to him self "Oh they don't think I can please my girl but I'll show them!"

Literally so many of my classmates in paramedic school cheated on their tests. In paramedic school. You know...the place where you learn to save lives in the back of a tin can with limited gear.

"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.

six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.

point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but you won't build you the the muscles.

[remirixjones]

You're allowed to grieve the loss of material items.

Accidentally sent your earbuds through the wash? I'm so sorry that happened. Dropped your phone in the toilet? Aww that sucks. Left your backpack on the train and it got stolen? That's shitty AF.

It doesn't matter how easily these items can be replaced; you're allowed to feel emotions when these things happen.

Woke up with this intrusive thought:

Lesbian? You mean...cliteromantic?
