“Sire, a new follower to our cause is at the gate.”
“Do they have an icon?”
“Nay, sire, a default icon.”
“Do they have a title?”
“Untitled, sire.”
“Do they carry posts?”
“A single reblog of a recent fandom post.”
“Hmmm… I’ll risk it. Let them in.”
“Very well, my liege.”
“Wait! What is their url?”
“I believe it is ‘gender-critical-kirby’, my lord.”
“Kirby would never! Shut the gate and banish this TERF from my realm!”
A term TERFs made up to legitimize and make their transphobia seem more intellectual
If you see somebody use it they’re most likely a TERF
In case you didn’t know, TERF stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist. They’re transphobes who use a “feminist” angle to justify their transphobia.
so what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna trim the top off a bulb of garlic, using the knife’s edge to take off the tip of every individual clove, that’s important. you’re gonna place the garlic face-up in a square of tinfoil, drizzle with olive oil, wrap completely in foil, place in baking tray, repeat with a copious amount of garlic bulbs. you’re gonna put that baking tray in an oven set to 375-400°F, for 30-50 minutes, until soft and browned. you’re gonna toast some good bread, slather generously with butter and honey, maybe a tiny lil bit o’ salt. and then. you’re gonna SQUEEZE. OUT. THAT. ROASTED GARLIC. onto the butter honey toast. and you’re gonna eat it. food stolen directly from the plate of the gods. that’s what you’re gonna do.
To you, he has the (well, a) gender and sex and presentation that you don’t.
You’re a man? she’s a woman. You’re a woman? he’s a man. You’re non-binary? So are they, but in a different way. Whatever you’ve got in your pants, he/she/they don’t.
You met her a few years ago, and she seemed nice. But now you meet him and say “oh, you transitioned… I didn’t know you were trans!” He smiles and says “I’m not. But you are, so…”
when he/she/they have a threesome with two people of different genital configurations (regardless of gender), it’s real weird to see. One of you can see a vagina, the other sees a penis.
if you ask him what pronouns he himself prefers, he says the ones you don’t use.
But you’re pretty sure that’s not the gender-perception magic, he’s just playing along and being coy. you can tell from his smile
He’s got a twin sister, who looks a lot like him, but she’s got the same gender/sex/presentation as you.
Annoyingly, when asked about his pronouns, she says she can never keep those straight, but any pronouns are fine for her.
So, if the original person is the opposite, or at least different gender than the person perceiving them, and the “twin” is the same gender as the person perceiving them, what genders are they when they perceive each other?
the same gender twin says “they’re the same as me” and the opposite gender twin says “they’re a different gender to me” and can’t be nailed down to specifics.
What they actually see, if anything, is between them and God.
People seem to forget homeless people have more needs than food especially to get out of that situation and there tend to be way more resources to get free food than to get things like menstrual products or clothing or hygiene items you have no idea what a homeless person needs money for or how much they have or if they’re saving. And yes, once again, they might NEED drugs. Alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you. You can’t give someone money or assistance with strings attached and pretend you’re doing it for anybody except yourself. That’s to make you feel better, not help them
So Ive been thinking about it and what I want more then anything for my birthday (which is pretty soon) is a comfortable place to sit in and a portable desk so I can properly work at home (as hard as Ive tried I really cant work on my laptop in bed without putting myself in pain). Ultimately what I’m asking for is the money to get a sofa and a portable desk which would be around $250 $200. If you like @rickybabyboy or y232.live or anything else that Im part of (or just want to help a disabled trans woman) please consider helping me out, ty for reading regardless!
Edit: realized I dont really need the desk I can just use my plastic dresser
Edit 2: on second look i think a sofa is more expensive then i thought
$60/$400 raised
Oh well this needs to go on hold, the appointment to get my mental health medication is tomorrow and its going to be about ~$370 more than expected, I dont need to have all the money for it then but Im afraid if I dont raise at least half they might not allow me to do a payment plan, can I please please get some more help?
Good Experience: My creative writing professor, one of the kindest, most open-minded arts teachers in any media that I have ever had, gave us an entire thirty minutes to just bring up stupid writing advice and complain about it.
Bad Experience: One of my classmates brought up how people always tell her to delete the word “very,” and then she asked us how we felt about “very,” and I completely forgot that I was a real boy in the real world and not on Tumbler dot Com, so I answered, “I love her. She’s my girlfriend.” And my professor was like “Did you just say the word ‘very’ is your girlfriend?????” and I had to just nod silently and reckon with the permanent damage this website has done to my brain.
Thinking about when I worked at a shitty restaurant + one night it was just me + 3 other women on closing shift, so some guy came in the back and waved a knife around, presumably for money but I’m not actually certain, bc he was met with the bartender holding a much bigger knife, a tiny teenager wielding a cast iron pan, an elderly woman holding up a crockpot of clearly boiling water, and me, turning on the meat slicer with eye contact for maximum effect. He left, but the moral of the story is not girl power or whatever, it’s just. Why the fuck would you threaten a room full of underpaid and sleep-deprived blue-collar workers surrounded by lethal weapons.
Even ignoring the quantity of workers or weaponry, I think there’s something special about specifically
Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Consider this your save point.
Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.
Things people in the notes have been able to do thanks to this post:
eat breakfast
go to bed
get out of bed
take a shower
write
practice
watch Superman Returns and write a paper on it
retain shreds of sanity
I need y’all to know that you’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad that I was able to help you break out of a procrastination loop you did not want to be stuck in.
Helpful post I’ve added to my queue in case it helps someone else at the random point when it’s posted.
Anyway if this post reaches 30000 notes I’ll sit down and professionally film a Goncharov movie scene you can send to people who claim it’s not real. This is completely serious, I’ve made movies before and I’m willing to do it for the memes.
yall see “love” and immediately go to “romantic love” if you translate “love is the whole point” to “romantic love is the whole point” you need to rethink everything because love is found in everything. in community, in friendships, in family, in food, in nature so actually love is the whole point and u can die mad about it. hope this helps <3
pop up ads on pirating websites are so fucking funny. “do you want sex?” if I wanted to have sex do you really think I’d be watching doctor who. answer quickly
I need a bumper sticker that is artful and fits my edgy aesthetic and also lets conservatives know I hate them because if I have to see dipshit magas in the work parking lot they should also have to see me
After seeing you on tumblr for years I just figured out you wrote ABoT and I feel. So stupid for not connecting the pseudonym phantomrose96 to tumblr user phantomrose96 I feel like that is maybe something I should've been able to do before today, but also wow, that fic is an incredible work of art and even though I admire your creativity in general that one is important yo me, thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into it. You probably get fan mail all the time for it so if this is annoying I apologize I'm just bursting with awe and gratefulness
Ahjsjd, thank you!! And I think this is perfectly reasonable. “phantomrose writer of the ~400k word psychological horror fanfiction” and “phantomrose who posts stupid shit on tumblr” are maybe not obviously the same person at first glance. If you met Stephen King but he was in his underwear at 3am standing in front of his fridge you’d maybe not make the connection right away. Not calling myself Stephen King but I am identifying with the 3am underwear bit
Anyway!! Not annoying at all!! I love love receiving messages like this. (Despite the hiatus for personal life reasons) I have so much love for ABoT and all the effort I’ve put into it so it’s so very rewarding to hear other people loving it too. Thank you!!
my names christian baby. im the one from all the questions. I grew up now but I’m not Christian anymore. I tell people my names “Lyle” and Im a shift manager at a secondhand sports clothing store. honestly I want to leave all that business behind me
sorry about the time a baseball pitcher threw you at me and I hit you with a bat and scored a home run to a chorus of sinful cheers and holy boos. I thought you were a baseball… 😎 wrong emoji 🤑 wrong emoji 🦶 wrong emoji 👄 wrong emoji 😷 wrong emoji 🛀 wrong emoji 😖
