tired: mermaids are all women

wired: much like elves, merfolk are mistaken by sailors for being all women because they have long hair and are very pretty

reminder that "allies welcome" was once secret code for "those not out yet can still participate without putting themselves at risk", and for those who aren't out yet to comfortably exist in these spaces you have to let allies exist in those spaces too.

Went to the gallery for the first time in months. I needed to be reminded that I love appreciating art. It makes me feel whole in a way that is hard to express, except through creating art myself

reverse gaslighting where i pretend to know exactly what you are talking about

Oh good, I’m not the only one who does that

He’s a goober & I love him for it

sometimes when I’m being especially self deprecating and convinced no one likes me I have to tell myself “you’re being goob. you are being goob right now”

I need an entire series about these sisters

OP made the post unrebloggable but said it's fine to screenshot and I'm in love with this

[amikyle]

Reblogging cause I got a job! That I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy!

Still waiting on a contract, but I’m excited!

[amikyle]

Thank you for sharing! There’s a lot in this that I resonate with.

I’m reblogging it now, but might come back to it with more thoughts later

Here's a comic about surgery & gender.

Gianmarco Soresi is quickly becoming one of my favorite comedians. Funny and politically astute

this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.

When I was tagging my previous post for ‘aromanticism’, the next suggested tag was ‘frog art’ and it’s nice to know that tumblr gets it

It's interesting how, especially for non-partnering aspecs, the issues of affordability is paramount since this world is structured to force people into marriage for financial reasons--you need two working adults to support yourself in this economy. As such, higher minimum wages, fixing the housing crisis, and a million other things are specifically aspec issues. This feels ironic almost, but married couples, especially couples where one parent wants to be a stay at home parent, would probably be very strong allies on this particular fight.

Maybe it’s cause I recently finished reading All the Light We Cannot See, but I’m very much on the train that we’re all insignificant in the grand scheme of things & therefore can only do our best to be true to ourselves

I really cannot emphasize enough the mental health benefits of abandoning the idea that you're special.

How I know I’m an adult: I’m incredibly excited about my new vacuum

Story time! a few years ago my grandma found out that my sibling is nonbinary. Sibling was nervous at first bc it was an accident, and even tho our grandma fully accepted me as a trans guy, she presumably had no idea what being nb or genderfluid meant. and to an extent the sib was right—she was totally unaware that those concepts existed when we agreed to meet for lunch that day

but. but. she brought a full on PACKET of printed research and a pen. and asked questions. she took honest to god notes.

so anyway. thank you Grammy for loving your grandkids unconditionally. the feeling is mutual 💕
