Mad this. It literally says he got jailed for ignoring a court order telling him to stay away from the school - yet the headline says it’s for not calling a kid they. He broke the court order cos he was being a self righteous stalkery Christian weirdo. I know the sort, they did the same to us at school cos we were scruffy poor unfortunates / desperate people that apparently needed god to save us. Loads of Christians are like this, proper weirdos.
timeline of events:
teacher misgenders a kid in front of his class
the kid politely corrects him and the teacher gets really mad and upset
a few days later there’s an event at school. pretty much everyone is there. teachers, students, parents
during this event he makes an impromptu speech about how pronouns are bad. reminder that this event had nothing to do with LGBTQ stuff. it was like a big school dinner or something
he also goes on a huge homophobic rant. other teachers, students, and parents are annoyed.
he then follows around the principal all night begging her to “ban pronouns”
the principal repeatedly asks him to leave her alone
teacher does not fuck off
principal puts teacher on paid leave. tells him not to come to work tomorrow
he shows up anyway
someone showing up at school when they’ve been told not to is a security risk and also a crime
staff ask him to leave
principal gets a legal document forbidding him from coming to the school
he continues to show up to school multiple days in a row, despite not being allowed at the school
he is potentially a threat to students
staff ask him to leave or they will call the cops
he doesn’t leave
he gets arrested
judge rules that because he wasn’t allowed near that school, and yet still showed up at that school multiple times, putting everyone at that school in danger, he was found guilty of contempt of court
so no, this was not a teacher going to jail because he used the wrong pronouns. this was a ass wipe who couldn’t take no for an answer and violated a restraining order, potentially putting the kids and staff at school in danger, so he faced the consequences for his actions.

being an online weirdo is fucking awesome because you get to befriend other online weirdos. just now saw a sexual motorcycle post and i was like “hey i’ll send this to my buddy, The Motorcycle Fucker” and sure enough it was a smash hit
Remember: unless your character has been specifically drilled in how to respond to that particular situation, “I just didn’t think of it” is ALWAYS a realistic explanation for why they didn’t do the sensible thing.
Apparently in China peach wood (Along with the rest of the plant) is believed to have properties that repel evil spirits, a little similar to silver in European legends or iron for both European fae and West Asian/Middle eastern Jinn. Taoists sometimes keep swords made of peach wood because of this. This made me realize something. If you took a peach wood stick, and attached studs to it of both silver and iron you’d end up with a club or staff (or mace, flail etc.) that would have the weaknesses of many kinds of supernatural creatures while still retaining effectiveness as a normal weapon (peach is a hardwood and silver’s poor edge retention doesn’t matter for studs). You could even keep adding new stud materials to get something ridiculous that affects over 120 catalogued folkloric monsters. Since you just need a few little studs you could even get some really expensive materials like meteoric iron (a thumb tip sized meteorite can still cost like 10-20 bucks I think). I could somewhat feasibly make a weapon that affects every monster ever thought to walk the earth, from vampires and werewolves to jinn and jiangshi and even mankind.
Item: experimental OmnimonsterBane Club. I think you might get into trouble with needing to hit each monster with the correct stud, but the theory seems sound.
lemon stealing whores are a huge issue separate from food stealing whores. there’s a whole documentary about whores stealing lemons from the trees of unsuspecting victims. you can see the first two minutes of it here.
Thats a rickroll. That totally is a fucking rickroll. No fukin way. Not falling for it.
dude, trust me, that isn’t a rick roll. its something worse
Me to the rest of tumblr after actually watching what was in the link:
…I really don’t know what I was expecting.
What the fuck did i just watch.
It- it’s not a Rick roll
Have we really reached a time when the Lemon Stealing Whores are no longer common knowledge.
In Spider-Man 3 (2007), a journalist shows integrity and prints a retraction after he learned the news he was spreading was false. This is because this is a work of fiction.
@normal-horoscopes you’ve got a visual persona with bones all ready to go but I’m not sure what I’d illustrate @nudityandnerdery as for part two of this thing
i really wish the Matt Mullenweg Meltdown was easier to follow and explain because his public career suicide is extremely funny and i think i only understand about ¼th of it fully
have to note here that none of the CURRENT matt stuff has anything to do with his trans woman banning rampage earlier this year. it’s a completely new, separate thing. the people mad at him about this current thing are, as far as I can tell, completely unaware of his earlier behavior on Tumblr.
I haven’t had the time or energy to comment on the reddit threads where this stuff is being hashed out/Matt is being yelled at, but I think the WordPress and WP Engine people and all their interested clients should probably be informed about the shit he did on Tumblr this year. i don’t expect it would alter the trajectory of events in any way, I just think it would stir shit and be funny to add it into the mix 😀
the reason wizards aren’t into cryptography and shit anymore is because of tiktok & cocomelon. embedding your mystery teachings in a 5,000 word substack article renders it as inaccessible to the modern reader as an alchemical rebus written backwards and upside-down in aramaic. you only get into trouble if you can argue your heresies in under 240 characters, in which case they’re probably not even worth persecuting in the first place.
remember when jkr went full mask off and started acting evil and hp fans were like “ok we need to think carefully about the stuff we consume, how can we justify enjoying this series, how can we love it without supporting the author? should we try to separate art from artist or should we leave it be? isn’t showing solidarity to trans folks more important? if we remain openly fans of this series will it show trans people we aren’t safe or trustworthy?”
and then they decided that none of those questions really mattered and they continued to uncritically consume their stupid badly written children’s books, and jkr has only gotten more nasty and hateful, and people only hate trans folks more, and now the answer to the last question is invariably YES. I don’t trust any goddamn person who still loves Harry Potter in 2024 bc you’ve decided your nostalgia about a mediocre story written by a bigot is more valuable than the safety and wellbeing of trans people 🫶🖕
A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: “I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns.” I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

Hey, cis women who say “I wish I was a man but definitely not a trans way, haha! I would never be a man :)”
I say this with all the gentleness in my heart: It is okay for you to be a man. If you want to be a man, you can just be one. You also don’t have to stop being a woman to be a man. Multigender people exist. You can be a man and a woman at the same time. Or you can be just a man, or a non-binary man, or non-binary, or something entirely different. You can do and be whatever you want and whatever makes you happy.
Becoming a man is not a betrayal of womanhood and feminism. And everyone who makes you feel like it is an absolute asshole, and you should not ever listen to them. You do not have to push your own happiness aside for other peoples’ comfort.
If you want to be a man, try it out! See where it gets you. Maybe it turns out that you really weren’t trans, or not a trans man but something else entirely, and that’s fine, too. Maybe it turns out you are a trans man. In any case, following those thoughts might get you to a happier and better place in the end. And if you turn out to be happier as a man than you were as a woman, that is wonderful.
Please don’t feel forced to stay a cis woman for feminism - any feminism that mistreats or hates trans men and transmasculine people is bad feminism. Being a trans man or transmasc is not a moral failure.
Trans manhood and masculinity are wonderful, and you deserve happiness. And if you find that happiness in manhood/masculinity, you don’t deserve to be shamed or harassed for it, and you should not be made to feel the need to put yourself down for it, either.
Saying this because I used to be this “cis woman/girl” a few years ago, and felt exactly the same about myself. I did believe the “every woman feels like this! You’re not trans!” shtick for years, and forced myself to stay a girl and a woman because that was “the right thing to do” according to the “feminists” I was around.
I know what it feels like. It can get better.
All of this also goes for trans men and transmasculine people who still struggle with such thoughts, of course. It doesn’t just go away the second you realize you are trans.
What sparked this post, however, was a video I saw made by a cis woman lamenting that she was a woman and wishing she was a man but she couldn’t just be a man because she “wasn’t trans” and still liked being a woman, and a lot of other cis women in the comments agreeing. And I just feel so bad for them. If you feel miserable being a woman and wish you were something else, try this “something else” and see how it feels. See if you’ll be happier. Because sometimes, the grass is greener on the other side, and you don’t have to keep suffering in your own body or mind.
And being a trans man or transmasculine is not giving up, or taking the easy way out (fucking lol), and it doesn’t mean you are less of a feminist or that you will become an outsider to feminism. Your relationship with your life as a girl/woman and the misogyny you’ve experienced is yours alone. You are allowed to be a man in ways that cis men do not understand. You are allowed to have a relationship with misogyny and womanhood that cis women do not understand.
Hell, you can just decide one day that you are a man and change nothing about your life if you want to. The possibilities are endless. Transmasculinity is not a loss, a lessening, a closing of doors. It does not mean you are boring or traditionalist or falling in line with the status quo. It’s cool as fuck, actually, and takes a lot of bravery and determination.
Surround yourself with revolutionary transmasculine feminists; let yourself realize how many doors can open when you stop defining transmasculinity by everyone else’s metrics.
