“Autism traits that are actually advantages-” Hey guys did you know that the problem with eugenics and ableism is the act of assigning different degrees of worth and moral value to different people and abilities and not that we were simply attacking the “wrong” group?

“It’s ya boy Guzma” is probably the smoothest translation of ore-sama I’ve ever seen (makes eyes at Hetalia and TTGL) but it’s also unfortunately hilarious wwwww
It’s for ore-sama? AWESOME!
Yeah, ore-sama is a bitch to translate because standard English just doesn’t use pronouns like that but “it’s ya boy” is actually a great way of conveying both the conceited “you should know me” and inappropriately close connotations. I think it’s kinda rare to see direct ways of translating how rough/friendly speech is kinda the same thing in Japanese. I mean, we DO have an understanding that being overly familiar is rude in English but I feel like I rarely see that aspect of ore speech translated gracefully.
Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want. Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.
this seems like a good thing to bring around as people holiday shop
a few days ago bf told me that a couple years ago when he played counterstrike he would respond to dudes getting angry and aggressive and hostile by saying “a kissaroo from me to you” in a slightly goofy friendly voice sort of like the voice you’d associate with a dog muppet. he said they would absolutely lose their shit every time, insisting things like “i dont want a kissaroo from you! only tall blonde girls!”. they always said kissaroo. i cant stop thinking about this
haha, well, you see, as an enjoyer of nuance in a website that hates nuance, if you ignore the weights of every social factor contributing to this systemic issue, then it actually really depends. it depends on hypotheticals which never emerge in the real life manifestation of this systemic issue. that’s why the system should stay as it is without being questioned
scurvy has got to have one of the biggest disease/treatment coolness gaps of all time. like yeah too much time at sea will afflict you with a curse where your body starts unraveling and old wounds come back to haunt you like vengeful ghosts. unless☝️you eat a lemon
I really do love when I get called a fujoshi because, like. Look, it’s not a cool thing to call any gay trans guy, but with me in particular, it is REALLY apparent that that’s just your catch-all insult for gay trans guys. Really obvious that you were just throwing some spaghetti at the wall and hoping it stuck. You didn’t even look at my blog. There’s not even real life guys kissing on here. Or anime guys not kissing. I was just talking to my spouse about anime boys I am capable of naming, and here is the full list: Goku, Sasuke, Naruto, etc. That’s all of them. Ain’t a holier-than-thou thing, either. Just not my scene. And it’s also a thing where, like. Let’s strip away the porn and romance parts of it. I didn’t transition to be a twink. If you did, I am hootin’ and hollerin’ and crushing beer cans against my forehead, but I’m fat and hairy and covered in tattoos and I often find myself in a hunting supply store staring at the novelty T-shirts and thinking, “That’s a solid pun and a beautiful wildlife painting. I can’t pass up the opportunity to wear this to a chili cook-off or perhaps to a different hunting supply store.” Just the way it worked out for me, you know? I think maybe if you asked the people who know me to rank things they’d be likely to find me doing, they would all put “gnawing on a human corpse buck naked on the side of the road” slightly above “rubbing one out to anime boys kissing”. But yeah. I definitely transitioned because I want to pretend that I am Sasuke kissing Goku. That’s what I’m up to for sure, you ribbonless county fair hog.
Thinking maybe this post came off a little harsh, so I do want to clarify that if you’re reading this and you want to kiss Goku so bad that you’re thinking about going down to your local Planned Parenthood and doing some steroids about it because you feel like that’s really gonna help you get into the zone Goku-wise, you might actually be the coolest dude on the face of the earth. I think you really know what you’re about, and I’m into it big-time.
hey you. young trans girl dating for the first time as a girl. you know you don’t have to date people that sick and you can have boundaries
if you’re dating cis people you should not be worrying about enforcing boundaries or saying no to anything for fear of offending them. if you’re dating trans people you should not have to worry about lateral aggression- it’s ok to experience gender and sexuality different from your partner, even if you’re both trans women. you are just as allowed to be uncomfortable with things as anyone else.
you are not alone. many girls, cis and trans, feel like they’re on their own when dating and things are just always gonna be bad. they don’t have to be.
you deserve a good relationship, too
“you deserve a good relationship too”
I wish I’d heard that a while ago, going into social interactions online with some self respect about a year ago would have been nice
just had a convo with my friend. she mentioned she doesnt like sake cause its sparkling.
“wait, sake is sparkling? what have i been drinking?” i said. because i also dont like sparkling stuff.
i look at the sake bottle ive been drinking from for fun events for the past year. its vinegar.
i’ve been drinking strawberry flavored vinegar.
in my defense:
and:
ALTALT
its very hard to tell for someone who only kind-of reads Japanese and just saw the component for “sake flask” (酉) and, rightfully assumed, that the bottle that said sake was probably sake.

its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops
The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”
This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.

Leelah Alcorn was a trans girl, a teenager, who sadly committed suicide nearly 10 years ago. I’m happy that her comic touches the hearts of so many people, years after her death.
I saved screenshots of her blog and last message to the world. Her parents had a lot of control over how she was perceived after her death, but it was also to prevent deletion by Tumblr itself. Even back then, Tumblr has been shadow banning trans women on this platform.
My heart goes out to all trans women who are struggling with society’s expectations of who they are supposed to be and who they are allowed to be. May you find peace, growth, and respite from whatever you’re going through. You deserve happiness, most of all. Thank you for living, thank you for being here with us.

if i had to explain what tumblr is like i’d only show this
No one seems to be acknowledging the far funnier element of this, which is, that when you go to the commenter’s account, you find out they are actually fucking roleplaying as a sexually repressed skeleton and jjst really committed to the bit while everyone in the reblogs is talking about how much they hate minors or whatever. thank you kharak the skeleton servant of the almighty lich king
I didn’t know bucket toothpaste was only a thing here!
WAIT! How do people in other countries put toothpaste on their toothbrushes??? You d-don’t use your toothpaste spoon????
You keep your toothpaste in condiment tubes???
This whole thread is making me so sad 😔😔
For the americans out there, 1kg is about 2lbs. Rewriting this bost gives:
“To answer a lot of people’s question: this package is [4lbs] there’s also, [10lbs] and [20lbs] ones (which used to be sold in most stores, but you can find them only in specialized ones nowadays). There are some tiny ones, like 1lb! Those are the ones you buy to carry when you travel.”
Croatians apparently take a pound of toothpast with them when they travel.
look I know it’s supposed to be a joke but that “irradiated wasteland” is the unceded homeland of the Paiute and Shoshone peoples and consists of fragile Mojave and Great Basin desert ecosystems that are actively being exploited and destroyed by mining interests who utilize the perception of desert as wasteland to justify their destruction of indigenous lands and communities. the joke’s not funny. fuck off with this.
also, as to the “irridiated” part of this - here’s an article by High Country News on cancer clusters in indigenous communities in the Southwest resulting from nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site (itself located on the ancestral homeland of the Western Shoshone and Southern Paiute) and the US government’s continuing failure to compensate affected families. it’s a horrific crime that the US government committed against its own citizens and the joke’s not fucking funny.
wasn’t expecting this to take off but shoutout to the Australians in the notes - getting fed up with this kind of shitty rhetoric about desert landscapes and erasure of the indigenous peoples that have lived in them for millennia is Australian-Southwestern US solidarity
every time I hear someone is gonna try to write a story that they think will explain to the fandom how the affini are Bad Actually™ i just think *they will never manage to write anything half as fucked up as the shit I and other authors have wrote entirely because we were horny about it" to myself
concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end
i like how the responses on this post are cleanly split between “hey this is a great story idea i love it” and “this is absolutely terrifying”
Yes. A Death that is kind, and patient, and inevitable.
A Death that need not fight against you, that will often
fight for you, because why not? It
will gather you home eventually. Why not enjoy you first?
A Death that treasures those who fight it most ardently.
That loves healers and defenders and survivalists and necromancers and mad
scientists and immortal gods. That lets them pour everything they are into
fighting it, denying it, adoring every desperate scrap of strength and will and
brilliance and raw determination poured out against it. That catches you when
your strength is done and all your will and brilliance run out, that gathers
you close beneath a warm, dark cloak, and whispers well done, oh child, you were magnificent, well done.
A Death who will not seek to hasten an inevitable end, who
will chastise those who seek to hasten it for others in Death’s stead, who will
slowly and patiently plot and sow and siphon away from the great monsters of
the world. Because who are they to hasten
Death’s domain, who are they to deny Death its time and its place, who are
they to cut short these vital glories that illuminate it so? Who are they to
presume upon its will, that is so much larger and so much longer than theirs?
Who are they to call, and presume that Death, of all beings,
should obey?
A Death that is not a hunter but a gatherer, who is always
and eternal, who loves you, and can afford to wait. A Death who will fight for you and defend you, who will place
its hand upon those who would speed you to its embrace, who has no need to rush you, only to greet you when
you call.
not interested in getting involved in the rest of this discussion, for the most part, but to me this is a GREAT piece of advice that many people these days don’t seem to be getting or understanding.
not everyone you meet or interact with is your friend, the requirements and expectations for respectful behaviour between friends is not the same as between strangers.
hey man, you’ve been looking really glum ever since we reversed the genderbend curse that that wizard hit you with. is there something you wanna tell us?
