I laughed so fucking hard at this

I feel ancient here, but Guyver - the original release, watched on vhs.

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Hard pass

Oh fuck, I had to work so hard on my poker face today.

Workmate who has been in my team for over a year: "I need to find someone transgender to help me on a comms piece about LGBTQ experiences at work, but I don't know anyone."

Me: Existing "Yeah, there are trans people who work here."

Workmate: "But I've never met any of them."

Now do I tell them or do I let them struggle?

They are a good soul who's doing it for the right reasons, but the sheer mischief of leaving them clueless feels so good.

HETEROSEXUAL CIS-PEOPLE LOOK HERE

Snaps my fingers at you as you scroll past this post

Look at me. Listen.

I'm not the best at serious posts, but that article up there reminded me of how important it is that people like you stand up for us. So hold on while I try to get this out of my mushy end-of-work-day brain.

We could fight this fight ourselves for decades trying to reach the equal laws, gender affirming trans healthcare that doesn't have a 2-5+ soul-eating years of waiting time, medical care with equal knowledge of lgbtqia+ bodies, and, what is often forgotten, inclusion in the little everyday areas of life like our way of speaking or things being set up or designed with the existence of queer people in mind.

But you joining in could get us there so much faster.

The power you have as a hetero cis person is that you set the standard for what is seen as the average way of treating us among other hetero cis people. You have been given the power of deciding what's "normal" and I'm begging you to use it.

Richard Green is a great example of to what extent your actions can help our situation, and smaller ways of support still add up to a great impact on society, and could make the days of the queer people you interact with.

Educate yourself before you speak up, but don't be silent.

On the one hand, women should absolutely be able to wear shorts if they want to.

On the other, men wearing thongs would definitely encourage me to watch volleyball.

Reblog every time!

The drawbacks of becoming a deaf vampire.

Shout out to the best joke I’ve ever told, WWDITS style.

Beautiful.

Nothing brings cultures together like music and food.

[Video ID: The video shows two women singing on a boat, taking turns. The woman on the right is Sofia Adriana, she starts singing a traditional Spanish song often hummed while baking bread, called Panadera. Then the woman on the left , Palestinian Singer “Terez Sliman”, follows by singing the Palestinian song 'Ya Talleen Al Jabal'. Both women show harmony and synchronization in their singing, clapping their hands on the boat to create music.]

"Ya Tall’een Al Jabal " - "يا طالعين الجبل" , a song from the Palestinian heritage was sung by Palestinian women in coded language to their imprisoned husbands and relatives in British prisons during the 1936 revolution to tell them resistance fighters would soon free them, while disguising words with the letter "L.". While "Panadera" in the Spanish language means baker, it is a traditional Spanish song that women sang during the baking process. The movement of the hands in rhythm represents the baking process.

"يا طالعين الجبل" أغنية من التراث الفلسطيني كانت تغنيها النساء الفلسطينيات عند زيارة الأسرى في سجون الإحتلال. كانت النساء يضفن حرف اللام بين مقاطع الأغنية للتمويه لإيصال رسالة للأسرى أنه الليلة سيقوم الفدائييون بتحريرهم.

باناديرا في اللغة الإسبانية تعني الخبّاز، هي أغنية تقليدية اسبانية كانت النساء تغنيها أثناء عملية الخبز. حركة اليدين في الإيقاع هو عملية الخبز فعليًا.

Sung by: Terez Sliman (to the left) | Sofia Adriana Portugal (to the right)

Do an innocent guy with a good werewolf friend a favour and enjoy a little retro music.

He has a good voice, just don't say you came from tumbr!

How to tie a tie.

Also, a great example of trans sibling love and cooperation.

I guess I was lucky on this particular skills, I had a school uniform where everyone wore a tie, but there are some gender specific experiences where we get dragged into a pink or blue box against our will and help like this is invaluable.
