my family wasn't this strict, but in some sects of buddhism you're not allowed to eat the "five pungent vegetables", onions garlic shallots leeks and umm chives i think, really any of those kind of vegetables. probably some monk ages ago was tired of onion farts stinking up the temple. anyways, one time my brother made a soup using all five of them. he said, "one sip of this, and you'll be reincarnated as a flea."

If you that concerned about Trump "renaming" the Gulf of Mexico, you can see why Indigenous folks are so serious about the continent being "Turtle Island".

a long time ago i watched a tik tok from an older trans woman, in her 60’s or 70’s. someone had commented on another video of hers asking “why don’t we ever see trans men from your generation? why aren’t they involved in activism?” and her response was “because a lot of them died.” she told stories abt the trans men she knew who committed suicide rather than be married off and forced to live as a woman, or died from medical neglect or botched abortions. “they would be here if they could, but they can’t because the world failed them.”

when you reblog a post because you think a specific mutual would enjoy it and then they reblog it from you

we all have that one mutual that speaks in tongues

I hope I'm not just a mutual to you, but someone you want to bring up in irl conversation so you have to awkwardly and cryptically say "my friend..." and refuse to elaborate on my origins or the origins of our friendships

Trump basically declared disabled people ‘unfit to work’ as he put it by revoking the Equal Employment Opportunity Law of 1965. It means employers no longer have to legally give accommodations to disabled employees. This will render so many Americans jobless and barely anyone is talking about it because disabled people like me are treated as expendable.

I should be able to both read for 8hrs a night and sleep for 8hrs a night. That I cannot is very rude and, frankly, poor design.

so last year during a period of intense suicidal depression i made this necklace that i always wear, right, and the thing is it's genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and relief and i've developed a strong sentimental attachment to it, to the point that i can inarguably state that it's had a net positive effect on my mental wellbeing. however i did now just have to stop to almost throw up laughing because i realised that i've succumbed to the amulet.

why dont people get that Jason grace being milquetoast and underdeveloped compared to Percy and Nico is like. the point. that's his thing. he's the guy who gave everything he had to everyone else and had nothing left for himself. he's superman. he's a sacrificial lamb. he gave his whole life to a cause he believed in and his reward is being a footnote in other people's stories.

I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter was one of the best works of sci-fi of our generation and one of the best works of transgender fiction ever written, and there are world renowned authors who still have successful careers after they publicly assassinated the nascent woman who wrote it. I don't think they should ever know peace.

Watching the trends of trans advocacy on tumblr has been strange over the past… more than a decade.

I remember the initial push to de-gender-segregate spaces because that was the safest way for trans people to access safety and resources. And then something changed at some point and tumblr started shifting from that to what those of us still intent on de-gender-segregation are pushing back against now, which is… like… the use of the systems cis people put in place as a way for gender validation at the expense of other trans people being able to access a space they need.

It’s been… yeah… very strange.
