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

1926: “This girl has all of [the] trends and she’s not loath to wear them at once: bell earrings, a dog collar worn as a necklace, a large beauty spot on her cheek, an ivory cigarette holder, a design to cover the vaccination mark on her arm, heavy bracelets, an anklet, a photo of a boyfriend on her stocking, an anklet watch, fancy garters worn below the knee and a mirror fastened to her wrist.”

Waiting for wristwatch anklets to make a comeback

Really, REALLY good article that helps put a lot of the shit I've been seeing lately into perspective, along with highlighting the weird intersectionality and social concepts that inform transmasculine issues and why they're difficult to discuss (and also makes me glad that I've like...rarely ever seen any of the Toxic Transmasculinity this article talks about holy hell)

this is my first jewish papercut! jewish papercutting is a folk art once done by many jewish communities that has largely been lost due to the Holocaust. a large number of the surviving papercuts are from Galicia, which is where some of my own family comes from, and i've been wanting to continue the tradition and join the modern artists working to revive the art.

i decided to make a mizrach, hung on the eastern wall of a home to indicate the direction of prayer, which is toward Jerusalem. for me, when i hang the mizrach and look to the east, it will serve as a reminder that 'Never Again' means never again for anyone, including the Palestinian people in Gaza at immediate risk with nowhere to go, who have already lost so much.

in the Ashkenazi tradition, there are often four symbolic animals used in papercuts: the lion, the deer, the leopard, and the vulture/eagle. here i decided to use the Palestine sunbird, the Palestinian mountain gazelle, as well as the watermelon and pomegranate, mixing together some symbols Jews and Palestinians share and some that are unique to us as a show of my own solidarity and love for the Palestinian community and my own Jewish community.

i have said it before and i will say it again! Jewish safety is *with* our Palestinian kin. We are mishpacha! i hear and see your pain and i want you all to live in freedom, peace, and dignity, the same as i want for jews and all people.

vampirism poses the question "what if there was a fundamental, horrible, unending well of want in your soul that, if truly satisfied, would lead to great pain for all those you hold closest and, in turn, their absolute and total revilement of you?" and naturally as a person with no problems I don't relate to this in any way at all.
