i will never forgive tumblr for what they did to cbs elementary you're telling me that in 2012 we had by far one of the most interesting and accurate depictions of a MODERN sherlock holmes with cute little easter eggs and characters from the original stories with great characterisation, INCREDIBLY written female characters (PLURAL), and one of the best platonic relationships that i've ever seen in media, SEVEN WHOLE SEASONS 154 EPISODES and you still chose bendysnap crunchyback. you were all too obsessed with english people and bad yaoi to see

idk why people tend to act like only medical transition has any bad repercussions when social and legal transition too are constantly under attack

trying to ban using someone's correct name or pronouns at the workplace or school, outing kids who socially transition at school to their parents, the whole bathroom thing, the fact that legal transition is impossible for british nonbinary people, the fact that legal transition in general was made very difficult in germany for the longest time until last november and that nonbinary germans couldn't legally transition until just a few years ago, the fact that the US is destroying passports of people who legally transitioned, the fact that german bureaucracy makes it so that social transition sometimes requires legal transition because a lot of places will refuse to change your name if you don't have legal documents, that an X in your passport makes if dangerous to go to certain places, that the mere concept of pronouns is mocked to death, that nongendered terminology for gendered languages is mocked to death, that places in germany are actively banning the use of nonbinary-inclusive language, that i got mocked at my graduation ceremony for daring to ask for inclusive language, that my second ever therapist refused to actually help me with my real problem because all he wanted to talk about was my gender, that my loan with my bank kept getting denied over and over until we realised it was because my Mx title caused a problem in their system, the fact that i had to fight for my legal transition for 6 years all the way up until i was signing my paperwork because they falsely forced a middle name on me, that socially transitioning at school increased bullying, slur calling etc, that transgender people "coincidentally" became a debate topic in class after i came out, constantly legislating transgender people out of existence and so much more

none of these have anything to do with medical transition and yet they're actively making transgender people's lives harder or even dangerous, fucking with our health and livelihood. or do you all really think these are someone exclusive to medical transition.

I'd probably make it for another ten or so years. I think I could be statisfied with that.

Truly a tragedy that 'squire' is not a job anymore. I have all these skills, and none of them are useful :(

I’m not sure how widespread it was so this may be common knowledge or completely unknown idk but I must tell this story. So maybe 5 or 6 years ago there was a bunch of people who decided that they just absolutely *hated* the shower thoughts blog so they would make side blogs called stuff like “fuckshowerthoughts” and “just-idiot-thoughts” and harass them in every post they made. After a while they got bored and more people were making blogs with names like “just-dog-thoughts” or “just-hat-thoughts” and they would post shower thoughts style nonsense but from the pov of a dog or hat or whatever. Eventually this mutated so far that it became completely divorced from shower thoughts at all and just became a mass roleplay. Lots of people used special fonts, text colors, and typing quirks in their posts and everyone used the same picrew maker for their pfps. Fun times.

Anyways. Devils sacrament moment this blog used to be called just-tree-thoughts and it was a whole bunch of this

parker may be the best autistic woman representation. she could've sooo easily been Generic Sexy Cat Burglar Woman but instead shes the weirdest little guy who's also extremely talented and intelligent when it comes to her special interest (theft). and the team never really makes fun of her for it. the pilot ep is kind of weird but for the rest of the show, everyone just accepts that parker is Like That and works with her how she needs to be worked with. and when they teach her social skills, its just another tool in her theft belt. shes a little childish sometimes but shes never treated like she isn't a full adult. shes allowed to be blatantly autistic and weird AND have a genuinely sweet romance with someone who cares about making her feel understood. I will never be over the Dubai chess episode where she has what I interpret as a small meltdown & hardison immediately helps her calm down and comforts her. AND the fact that hardison recognizes that she is struggling with alexithymia and works with her pretzel metaphor to say "hey you don't have to figure this out right now, I can wait" !!! queen of television autism now and forever

Cyclops gets such a rough deal man. imagine having brain damage that caused you to uncontrollably shoot laser blasts out of your eyeballs destroying everything in sight that you had to worry about literally 24/7 and also you had to supervise teenagers throwing cars at each other because your father figure and his ex are taking leftist infighting to the streets and also on top of that whenever you show any amount of concern over this situation people are like "jeez what a buzzkill. loosen up control freak. why can't you be all chill and cool like wolverine" meanwhile wolverine is having his amygdala forcibly removed by the us military for the third time this month

Look i don’t know where i personally stand on wether transandrophobia is a good useful term or not. But i’ve learned more valuable information about trans men/mascs (that was delivered in a genuine and kind manner) from people who use that term, than i ever have from people who despise the use of transandrophobia.

Hell i’m starting to get to a point where (even though i don’t know how to feel about the etimology) folks that hate it are getting a tentative red flag, because none of them seem to be able to be normal about trans masculine people.

Seriously if yalls first reaction to a trans masc mildly disagreeing with you or having a different interpretation about something is to immediately be a transphobic bully to all trans mascs then you are just kind of an asshole, regardless of if you’re “technically” right about the hill you’re willing to drag all of us through the mud on.

I wanted to add on to this. Which is, in my experience, you're an immigrant, until it's a discussion on immigration. I'm an immigrant when discussing British politics (I'm not British, so I'm not allowed to comment), when discussing British places (I'm not British, so I'm not allowed to comment on different places (I can't say where I think is nice/kinda shit, I can't recommend locations, etc)), when discussing the English language (since obviously my dialect is inferior/not 'real English', so I can't have an opinion (despite the fact that I'm taking a lingustics class).

However, if we're discussing immigration, I moved from the US, so I'm not a 'real immigrant'. Despite the fact that we uprooted our entire lives to move halfway around the world to a country where we knew all of eight people.

People will talk about loving Trump to me though. So clearly I get the long end of the stick.

(but yeah. I know people who consider themselves expats, and they're mostly assholes).

the dichotomy between the "immigrant" (someone from the global south who moves to the north) and the "expat" (someone from the global north who moves to the south) makes me feel fucking crazy. a white person who moves to asia is an expat but an asian who moves to the west is an immigrant. & how those terms are politicized and assigned class statuses, like the word "immigrant" tends to imply a blue collar worker (even if that isn't the case) while "expat" implies a white collar worker. the associations with "expat neighbourhoods" in asian countries is very very different from those of "immigrant neighbourhoods" in western nations. also how "immigrants" who dont assimilate are seen as "failing" and bad, lower class, a burden on society, etc. whereas "expats" not assimilating into local culture is expected and viewed as a sign of their higher status. the double standards are so insane
