hey don’t forget about nonbinary people this june ok. i see a lot of posts about binary trans people and i love binary trans people but don’t forget about us ok. we’re trans too and we’re struggling too and if you want to talk about trans people who can’t pass. there’s no cis passing when you’re nonbinary. so just remember to show some love to your nonbinary siblings too ok. and for the love of god please don’t argue over nonbinary identities infighting will not save anyone

Found on a friend's FB.

Favorite comment:

"Also, John is so Gen X that he's narrating his slow descent into madness by insistently and continuously making Pop culture references for literal aliens."

I think it's funny that in French the word for "unicorn" is "licorne" because:

The word "unicorne" was first reanalyzed as "une icorne"

The definite article was then added, making it "l'icorne"

The new definite form was reanalyzed once again, resulting in "une licorne"

Concept of Julian Bashir on Cardassia working in hospitals and constantly having like 12 Cardassian babies hanging off of him for the heat that he radiates. Then he goes to pick up dinner after work from a local restaurant and the cashier’s hand lingers when handing him back his food and just kinda holds his hand for a long time marvelling at his warmth. Then he goes home to his lizard man husband who attaches himself like an invasive species as they lie in bed to fall asleep together. Julian Bashir is content.

insane to me when ppl are like "ohh transfems can't be butch lesbians" "ohhh transmascs can't be faggy men" like. what are you on. oh my god a transgender person seems to have a layered relationship with gender presentation and performance. this is unthinkable. who will stop them

ive said it before and i'll say it again but carrying a weapon does not make you safer, it gives the person assaulting you a free weapon. i know we live in a time where fear is profitable and the cute pink stun guns make feminism sexy but they do not work like you think they do.

there is an extremely slim chance you will be able to deploy the pepper spray/taser/gun in a way that does not harm you at all. pepper spray blows back, guns miss, tasers slip. there is a much much larger chance things go poorly and you end up getting hurt worse than originally intended because now your assailant is pissed and more heavily armed.

im not talking out my ass here, i'm a case manager at a homeless shelter for addicts. we have a lot of violent behavior. none of our staff carry any sort of weapons. we are trained to de-escalate or remove ourselves from the situation. i have worked there over two years without being harmed despite intervening in many fights and having weapons pulled on me.

there is safety in numbers. there is safety in well lit streets and staying on your phone and knowing when to scream and run. there is no safety in "personal defense items".

things people have done to help me during a psychoses episode

i was on the buss and i hallucinated bugs crawling all over my hands, so my friend pulled my hoodie sleeves over them with permission and held my hands through the sleeves to "keep them off". they used the logic you would in a real bug situation.

i went nonverbal in a bad one in class, so my friend wrote me a note to give to the nurse since the teacher wouldn't let her go with me.

i often am very paranoid about the delusion that meat is actually rotten, so my dad will sometimes eat a bit of it before me

instead of telling me my delusions arent real, they help me through it using logic like it was real. they dont tell me that nothings going to hurt me in my sleep, they stay with me to keep me safe. then when it passes i can realize its not real

The problem with AO3 is that every online store's search function is bullshit by comparison

And that’s that on that.

I do love the idea of spiders Noir and Punk being friends. Punching fascists etc. And there is a lot of potential comedy with, like, the way they would Not be using the same lingo. But also isn't Hobie supposed to be from like the 70s. Hobie would not be using today's most politically correct terminology either. Miles is the only one here who's saying Poc

As much debate as there is about tone tags, 90% of the issues would be solved by just typing the word. Like instead of typing /gen or /hj you can just write (genuine) or (handjob) and you'll be doing pretty much the exact same thing.

When they're first introduced, Smoke is wearing a tweed suit with a flat cap that's typical of an Irishman, while Stack is wearing a fedora with a pinstripe suit accessorized with gold bits that lean into a more Italian style. This hints that the brothers dress appropriately to blend in with both the North Side Gang and the Chicago Outfit back in the city. [x]
