I thought about the wordplay "bronouns" and I thought about the best way to show it off, so Vinnie decided to help me out.

Vincent, a character from the cartoon Biker Mice from Mars, young and muscular humanoid albino mouse with half mask on the right side of his face, holding a rifle behind his head with a green on his face. White text with black outline on the image says: "I don't have pronouns, sweetheart. I have bronouns."

I wish there was a platform named Twatter. I am unsure what people will do there, but probably there will be a lot of shitposting and feminism. I also also think many lesbians will like it too. Also, sharing will be called "qwifing" or "reqwifing", whatever's popular.

Here is a possible idea for a logo I sketched with my finger on my phone, but feel free to suggest additional ideas for logo and things that will be on it.

PS: TERFs will be banned immediately.

It is also a vicious cycle for some: Tou are isolated because you are weird, and the isolation results in being even weirder, which isolates you even more.

People seriously underestimate the long term effects of constant loneliness

"why are you so weird?" Idk, maybe because being completely isolated while growing up has destroyed my brain and now I'm nothing more than a human-mimicking creature that bases all of my actions on what I think is normal human behavior rather than just doing things naturally

Also. OMG...this screams wealth privilege. Not working while your husband does is something that mainly people with money could afford, while I was growing up with my whole family, including my grandmother (for sub minimum wages which was illegal, but immigrants have no choice sometimes) working their ass off to make ends meet.

This is such a spoiled behaviour, and also a very western thing.

saw this very [ben affleck depressed smoking image] comment and thought why does blue job / pink job sound like an established concept so I looked it up.....

what's next?? having a bank account is a blue job 💙🏦☺️ not being legally recognised as a person in your own right is a pink job 🩷🥰💅

people like to act like logan is not long lived but is instead a time traveler who woke up from the 1800s yesterday and has never heard of electricity or planes or the devil's talkbox and only likes Books and Log Cabins and Reading By Candlelight and like look. Listen.

yeah, reading is cheap and easy and portable with no ads and is timeless, i bet he likes to do it. i bet he likes it by candlelight because he doesnt need a lot of lighting to see by anyway. i bet he likes a cabin where he knows how to fix any particular thing that goes wrong with it. you know what else he would like?

heated floors.

he isnt a caveman 😭

he isnt scared of flying because he doesnt understand the mechanics unga bunga, its because it made him motion sick. he uses a smart phone like everyone else, because it's just the type of phone that's out there these days. his complaints about it are largely about the lack of variety, lack of options to make it dumber, lack of options to keep it from tracking you, etc etc, hardware and software complaints that come from understanding the technology enough to have a problem with it. he likes watching hockey games and turning on lights to get food out of the fridge on a 2 am snack run, he likes not having to build a fire to heat a whole house inconsistently, modern conveniences arent something he Doesnt Understand!!! they dont go over his head or shock him!!!

half the time he only remembers the past 15 years, why would he NOT have a working knowledge of modern technology with only the modern world in his memory?????

I took Amy to the vet almost a week ago. As our local exotic vet is only available on Sundays, we took the bus to the vet clinic in the city I previously lived in and is in another district. On the way back we took the train, and as we had some time to wait and the station was empty, I let Amy explore the bench we were sitting on and shared with her a bit from the snacks I bought (date snack with nuts and also a rice and beatroot crisp) , and I took this lovely photo of her. She has recurring diarrhoea, and we are trying a steroid treatment, that went away some time after finishing antibiotics and trying some dietary treatment.

She was the best girl at the vet clinic, and at some point the vet just held her in his arms and petted her.

She seems to be doing better now.

"Mine!"

I wish I was told that in my youth.

(TW: Sex) 

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

It’s okay if sex is not the best thing in the whole world to you.

I’m not only talking to people who have zero interest in sex or strongly dislike sex (both of those things are perfectly okay, too!) - maybe you like it and think it’s fun. It just doesn’t live up to the hype. It’s nice… but not more than that. It’s not this big explosion of flowers and butterflies and happiness.

For the younger ones/the ones who haven’t had sex yet, maybe it’s something you think about, sure - but it’s not the most exciting thing in the world to think about. You can imagine that you might enjoy it some day but you’re in no rush to try it and it’s not really on your mind that much. 

It can feel kind of embarassing to feel that way. We live in a pretty hypocrite society when it comes to sex: It’s a shameful topic and apparently a bad thing to do. At the same time, it’s everywhere and in our face all the time and it’s supposed to be this amazing wonderful thing that we think about all day. 

That can lead to a really strange kind of pressure and stress! You may worry you’re prude, that you’re doing it wrong, that you’re missing out on something, that something’s wrong with you… 

None of that is true. Sex is neutral, it’s neither good or bad in itself. You don’t have to hate or love it. 

Normalizing sex or being sex-positive doesn’t mean it needs to be everyone’s favorite thing. It’s just a thing. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

Coming back to that post it still breaks my heart.

Odo was a victim of the Cardassians as well, but others don't see it. I think it also effects why his relationship with Quark looks the way it looks, but I should probably rewatch DS9 to figure it out.

DS9: Dr. Mora and Odo

(TW: emotional abuse)

The character I dislike the most in DS9 is Dr. Mora. He is extremely emotionally abusive and manipulative towards Odo every time they meet, he barely can admit that he abused Odo, even if part of the time it was unknowingly. each time they meet he seems to change and understand Odo a bit, and see him for a moment as something more than a test subject, an experiment, an extension of himself, a child his for the abuse. Odo having a short a tragic opportunity to be a parent figure was so heartbreaking. Again, it exposed how much Mora does’t see Odo as a real person. Sure, he compliments him in the end, but he never apologizes to him. It almost seems like he is trying to show some growth just to keep some kind of relationship with Odo. This reminds me how some parents see and treat their adult offsprings, who are disabled, or not, but who were abused anyways. The way they talk, like the offspring is never their own person, and their inability to admit mistakes and hurting their child, even if they had the best intentions are so similar. I have a hypothesis that Odo having hardships with doing faces of other humanoids is a direct result of his childhood trauma. In a way, he tries to hold on to something of himself alone. Being a caregiver showed how much love and compassion he has inside him. But losing that child was traumatic as well, so traumatic that he rejected himself again. Dr. Mora poisoning Odo’s mind while Odo fought him to treat that child with care and dignity, really pushed Odo back into self abandonment. Dr. Mora is one of the most horrible characters, but only Odo can see it, and others just don’t see all the hidden needles he pokes Odo with.

This is hilarious!

Ok since that last Hallmark Romulan post was a hit, I'm hoping this one does well as well.

Here's a Hallmark ornament commercial for Klingon bird of prey ornament. It has Gowron AND Martok. And they're speaking Klingong throughout the whole commercial. Peopele complained about having to read subtitles when Parasite came out a few years ago. Now imagine if you were some guy in the 80s and having to keep up with all the subtitles here. And it's an accurate Klingont too instead of Paramount Hol. (The accuracy of their Klingon is attested by the clearly audible word for bird of prey, "toQDuj")

They really could have just tell the actors to say random gibberish, or not use Klingon at all. But they did. They gave a shit about Star Trek because this was the early 90s.

Also I love this frame.
