#not birth

[cinwritesbirth]

this is a small very unsexy thing, but sometimes I think about the fact that the biggest reason I left last time was because one of my favorite things I'd ever written turned out to be a request from a minor lying about their age (who's still trying to interact with the kink community, by the way) and I can't look at it anymore. and then I think about the fact that even if I block every ageless blog I see the ones with ages could still be someone lying and my stomach hurts.

New weird horse just dropped, folks.

A spotless giraffe was recently born at Bright’s Zoo in Limestone, TN and was just announced in the media this morning. They’re starting a public naming contest for her, of course.

I’d love to know what type of mutation causes this lack of of pattern, but I don’t know if we have genetics on that for giraffes the way we do other species. As far as is known, she’s the first spotless giraffe ever documented!

And just to be clear, writing dissertations at me justifying why he should instead be a conventionally attractive twink will involuntarily cause me to draw him with even fewer teeth.

terfs celebrating that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women's FIDE competitions, because it's sooooooo feminist to argue that women are so biologically inferior and nowhere near as smart as men and thus can't play chess on the same level. girl that's not feminism that's literally just misogyny

when birth is depicted as body horror, as an act of violence

[noknowshame]

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

I think I might maybe be a little *too* into my special interests because I'm currently reading two books and the first one has annotations like "this is why men shouldn't be allowed in the birthing room" and other such critiques of male obstetricians historically. And the second one just made me start saying, OUTLOUD, "ugh... What do you think is happening? This is why men-"

hello cin may I ask when will you start posting stuff again I missed reading your posts and I'm glad you're back!

you absolutely may! i've gotten a couple asks like this but thank you anon, for being the only one to come at me like a human being

so, shortly after i announced my return here, my job shut down and everyone was laid off with literally no warning. understandably, my focus has been on keeping the lights on. i considered maybe opening commissions here but i was in nowhere near the right headspace for it. i have a new job potentially lined up, so i'm hoping that i'll be back to writing here sometime in the next few weeks. thanks for ya'lls patience in the meantime.

I had a baby but it was so ugly people thought I got knocked up by a goat.

identity reveals are always fun

[fallahifag]

what’s an identity card

its a colonial documentation system that states our palestinian identity and determines our residency and what places we can / cannot go.

there are 5 ID systems enforced by israel:

1. Gaza Strip ID: if ur a palestinian who holds this ID, you can’t live anywhere in palestine except gaza (i believe this has been in effect since 2007)

2. West Bank ID: if u hold this you can’t live anywhere but 40% of the West Bank due to military checkpoints and settlements (i have this ID)

3. East Jerusalem ID: if u hold this u can have access to most areas in palestine but israel can revoke ur access whenever they want if you live outside of jerusalem

4. israeli ID but held by palestinians: can access “israeli-only” cities but still cannot reside in most towns in israel

5. jewish/israeli ID: if u hold this ur free to live anywhere throughout “israel” . u can even live on the palestinian territories (60% of the West Bank) as a settler
