that quote like “god gave us transness for the same reason he made grapes but not wine; yeast but no loaves — so we may partake in the divine act of creation”
- Julian K. Jarboe, quoted in Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel M. Lavery
Here’s where they originally said it! And, with an icon I drew! We went to school together, I owe them a lot.
my brother was making fun of me and our other brother for having the same haircut, and we were immediately like “what the fuck are you talking about? you had this EXACT SAME haircut like a year ago. this is your haircut too. jackass.” so we start arguing back and forth until our mom stops us and says “come here.” and she brings out her ID from when she was a teenager and… its the same haircut.
sitting together with a friend and they tell you “wow, you are disturbingly susceptible to hypnosis!”, without any apparent prompt, and refuse to elaborate
I’m immune to hypnosis so if this happened I’d assume that they’d seen this tumblr post
Headphone fatigue is such bullshit. Oh you’re punishing me for listening to my beautiful songs? You’re hurting me because I’m listening to smart audiobooks? Get over yourself
Man it really, really fucking sucks being nonbinary right now.
Thanks for illustrating exactly what I’m talking about. There’s this massive fucking wave of hate coming from every fucking direction at the moment. Regular ass cis people who haven’t ever met anyone nonbinary are cracking these infantilizing snowflake-ass jokes like you just busted out. Shit about “sock” not being able to do the dishes. Painting nonbinary folks as weak, immature, hysterical whelps. Other trans people memetically degendering nonbinary folks left and right, straight up insulting people to their faces and insisting there isn’t anything derogatory about it at all. Right wingers spreading incredibly violent rhetoric of a tone unique to targeting the very idea of “nonbinary” and it just flies under the radar because nobody cares but nonbinary folks. It’s fucking exhausting. Our civilization is descending into a period of fascistic darkness, and even those in our community are turning against us without consideration.

btw it’s like. extremely inappropriate to go up to random strangers IRL and say you think they’re gay/trans/queer/etc. it’s not funny, it’s terrifying and a huge overstep of boundaries
it’s also inappropriate and dangerous to just in general bring up someone else’s queerness around people they are not already explicitly out to. i once looked a guy in the eyes and said “call me she/her and my deadname around my parents. it went badly when i came out to my mother and i am afraid of what she may do or say if she finds out i go by Nico when possible.” and then we went outside and he immediately yelled “BYE NICO!” to me, because he didn’t want to deadname me or some shit… directly beside my mother.
i still don’t know what would have happened if she didn’t mishear it as something else, and i never, ever want to find out. i do not care if it makes you feel bad, i do not care if you really want to make that gay joke, I DO NOT CARE IF YOU THINK IT’LL BE FINE, do not fucking mention someone’s queer identity to another person without explicit permission.
Between 2017-2022 the Gävle goat has only burned down once, at one point reaching an unprecedented four year survival streak (prior to this, it had only managed a maximum of two years in a row), and well. I’m not saying that the world needs more ritualistic sacrifices of large flammable icons to appease and balance the unknown forces of good and evil in the world, I’m just saying that it wouldn’t hurt to try, you know?
the disadvantage of a single party state is that abuses within the party cannot be easily challenged, whereas in a multiparty state there is always someone with an incentive to expose abuses and who hopefully has the power to punish the perpetrator.
a similar critique applies to a monolithic religious hierarchy, which tends to be rife with abuse unless it is embedded in a secular society that exercises effective oversight into its operations.
similar problems affect societies with no social safety net, or company towns with only one major employer, whose abuses cannot be easily challenged given the lack of alternatives.
if a person has no means of escape or recourse then you basically have to assume they’re going to get abused as you’ve already conceded that there is no way to ensure that they aren’t or get redress if they are.
the same logic applies to schools, prisons, families, companies, towns, every collection of people.

imagine if doorways grew back like scabbed over with fresh drywall and you had to keep carving them back out with a jabsaw to keep the doorway clear etc
Imagine if the membranes recoiled in pain every time you did this. Imagine if over time, some doorways became accustomed sensation. Imagine that very rarely, some even seemed to enjoy it.
*sleepover host voice* imagine if you two went to sleep
Oh for gods sake kids it’s like piercing an ear - that’s why you put a doorframe in - you don’t hang a door in drywall, you gremlins. You frame the door. It’s like those gauges that people put in their ears - the hole stays. It won’t scab over with a doorframe in it. You’ve lived around doors you whole life, you little clowns. Lights out
And DONT REPOST stuff that’s already here! WHY do we even have to go through this again huh? DON’T. DO. IT.
And if you share something from a different platform that isn’t on tumblr already you ASK the creator for permission and then give CREDIT!
reblog, don’t repost, this
Terminology reminder: reblogging is Tumblr’s in-site sharing system but REPOSTING is saving a picture from a post and then making your own post
I have seen genuine confusion about this in the past (largely from ppl more used to other sites that don’t have a reblog system) that’s the only reason I’m adding the explanation

Sadly the nonprofit orgs killer bill passed the house and is now on its way to the senate,endangering orgs such as ACLU,EFF,FTF, Internet Archive, AO3 ( @transformativeworks )and any fighting for human rights.
Take some time to voice your disappointment at the reps who voted yes on this terrible bill,and thanks the rep that voted against it.
If your senator is a democrat, you can use this script:
“I am calling to urge my representative to vote no on H.R. 9495 . This is a dangerous bill would give the Trump administration unilateral power to label any non-profit as terrorist supporting and shut it down without due process. I am calling on my representative to defend civil rights organizations and oppose this bill. Thank you.” You can also tell them you’ll vote for them if they vote no on this bill. Anything goes.
if your senator is republican/MAGA, use their own words against them :
"As your constituent, I urge you to vote NO on H.R. 9495. This bill poses a dangerous threat to the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment and must not pass the Senate. It grants any incoming administration unchecked authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of non-profit organizations without oversight or due process. Such government overreach is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned for our democracy. This bill undermines the principles of free speech and freedom of association, cornerstones of American liberty.
H.R. 9495 threatens to pave the way for political suppression, allowing the government to selectively target and shut down organizations based on ideological disagreements. This could affect any non-profit, including churches and conservative groups, as well as organizations that champion human rights and civil liberties. Regardless of political leanings, this bill sets a chilling precedent that no American patriot should support.
While situations relating to the hostages deserve careful attention, they can and should be addressed in a separate, narrowly tailored bill. H.R. 9495, however, is a broad, unconstitutional overreach that strikes at the heart of free speech and freedom. It is unpatriotic and incompatible with the values we hold dear as Americans.
I implore you to stand as a defender of liberty and uphold the rights of your constituents. Be a patriot, listen to the voice of the people, protect our God given right to free speech as Americans, and reject this dangerous legislation. Vote NO on H.R. 9495. Thank you, God Bless and God Bless America.”
no you’re not a “pro hater,” you’re just sitting around going “ew” whenever someone mentions something they like. real hating has conviction, passion, drive. We’re not on the same level

you don’t have a personal responsibility to break stereotypes about your demographics. you don’t have to be the perfect representation. you don’t have to be a good representation. you are allowed to exist as you are, even if it somehow fits into stereotypes.
you’re allowed to have your experiences, hobbies, expressions, traits, problems, symptoms, etc. even if they’re stereotyped. you are not a living stereotype. you are a person. a person who happens to have some traits. you’re not making the world less diverse. your existence already contributes to diversity.
That picture of Biden looking at a quantum computer and being unable to grasp the true form of what he’s seeing
To be fair that’s how I would I react too
I do sincerely love that Quantum Computers look exactly like what a 1950’s sci-fi movie prop artist would build if they were told to build something called a “quantum computer”
Are you an English speaker willing to volunteer a few minutes of your time to answer a few questions about Palestine?
Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 is a web developer based in Gaza. He is currently still studying, and you may have seen his fundraiser or his spotlighting for fellow Gazan fundraisers.
Mahmoud has taken up a project to publish a website aimed at foreigners who want to learn more about Palestine. He is currently in the information-gathering phase, where he is hoping to ask you all a few questions about how much information the average foreigner knows about Palestine, and what they would be personally interested in learning about. I’ve seen the first couple of pages, and the project looks lovely!
If you’re interested in lending a few minutes of your time to Mahmoud, please do get in contact with him!
It’s important, I’m currently working on a website to include all your questions about how Palestine looks like and what about it, so I need your help in that, tell me what you would like to know about Palestine to share on this site
