my mother taught me to crochet when i was young. she was left handed, so she taught me how in the bathroom mirror so her hands would be in the right position.
she learned to crochet from her grandmother, who was right handed. her grandma was the one that originally used the bathroom mirror to teach her granddaughter properly.
i find something poetic about that. here in this bathroom mirror, through generations, we adapt to our young who have a different way of learning and interacting with the world
Sometimes I think I’m too mean so I just wanna say I’m proud of y'all. I don’t know y'all personally, but the fact you survived this long is pretty cool. I mean, the fact humans exist at all is amazing. You being your own person is even more amazing. 8 billion little worlds and you’re one of them. Congratulations!
Everyone playing the “what kind of queer is MOST oppressed?” game is wasting their time on pointless bullshit, and, quite frankly, they’re doing the feds’ work for them.
Stand together or die together. They want to put us all in the same pit.
this is reductive and dishonest - it is not pointless to acknowledge which demographics will be affected the most by harmful policies. The point is to accurately judge who is at the most risk of being first affected by these policies and to respond by putting the requisite amount of effort into protecting those most vulnerable targets. this is at the core of meaningfully protecting people by standing together. if you cannot prioritize protecting the most vulnerable then you should not be surprised when they can no longer be around to protect you when it’s your turn on the chopping block.
My transfemme wife, transmasc husband, nonbinary roommate, and I, an intersex person, manage to have frequent and robust conversations about the different ways we are impacted by different things, and we are perfectly capable of doing it without coming up with some bullshit hierarchy of who has it worse and is the “most oppressed.” It is completely possible to discuss different impacts of different things without playing the “who is the Most Oppressed” game. Trying to rank oppression and decide which individual person in the room has it “objectively worse” is not productive, nor does it foster healthy community and organizing. Putting one group on a pedestal as “the most oppressed” and shutting down everyone else as “not as oppressed” does nothing but feed into infighting and petty sniping. It doesn’t actually help anyone.
Tacking on a tag about how I like Steven Universe is just about the most childish thing you could do. In what way is my taste in television remotely important to this discussion? You’re reaching for a cheap way to perpetuate pointless drama. Get a hobby.
This is also a pointless debate to be had because it implies that your cultural experiences are the same as everyone else. I grew up in Southeast Asia, where countries like Thailand (at least, at the time) and Singapore had more trans rights than they had gay rights. However, in North America and Europe, countries tend to have more gay rights than trans rights. In some countries, intersex people have rights, where other countries do not allow this.
As you can see, draculas-tits’s argument is null. It is irrelevant and quite frankly close-minded. It does not consider the rest of the world, only your own experiences.
“This group is more oppressed!” Maybe where you live, it just might be. But not necessarily everywhere else. This cannot be a universal claim and is therefore reductive and dishonest.
idk if i told the full story on here but i signed up for a research study where they were testing a new opioid, and it was supposed to be up to 5 injections increasing the dose to see what people could tolerate
i got the first dose and almost immediately fainted. they had to call in a whole medical team and it was a huge fucking deal
i was kicked out of the study and got a phone call later where they were supposed to tell me what the drug was, so i could avoid it in the future. they told me it was saline water. a placebo. i fainted from the placebo effect.
anyway, it’s been a few months and i just got an email from the same department asking me to be a research participant in a new study: testing the effects of open-label placebo.
open label placebo is when the subjects and the researchers all know it’s a placebo. they’re testing the power of my mind. my power to imagine anything.
i like to think that they chose me for this specifically based on their past experience with me. “get the guy who fainted like a little bitch boy from saline water.” anyway i just submitted all my info and i’m looking forward to getting started.
placebos georg is fucking with the control group again
But see they’re just SAYING it’s a placebo this time around. You’re going to get dosed with heroin or curare or horse aphrodisiacs and (through the power of your mind) negate all effects.
I would climb down there like a lizard and the magma wouldn’t hurt me
That’s not lava, sorry. This isn’t in Þingvellir, this is a display at the earthquake exhibition in Hveragerði. That’s a line of plastic lights in a crack that opened up during the 2008 earthquake. It’s in a shopping center. This is what it looks like from another angle
The fault in Þingvellir looks like this
The fault at Sandvík is closer together and looks like this
There isn’t any lava visible from the surface continental divides currently but when there was a fissure eruption nearby Sandvík a few years ago at Fagradalsfjall, it looked like this
He said he burned his ass and got frostbite everywhere else taking this picture
It’s a difficult choice, but I think this might be my favourite Tumblr thread of all time :)
Irl i am known as the guy who keeps experiencing the most insane shit while always being able to back it up. Like i have experienced stuff none of your ancestors have even expirianced.
As an example a plane basically crashed in my backyard (not joking). None of my colleagues believed me until they spoke to an old colleague of ours that was there when it happened. Literally what happened was that we were watching beaststars and when it was over we chatted for a long ass time, she was turned with her back to the window and i looked at her (and to the window) as we chatted for so long before i suddenly shrieked as a plane just crashed behind my home in some wooded area. I could see everything as my window was just looking out over it.
Me and that friend/colleague sadly dont talk anymore after i gave her a potato for her birthday.
Just here to remind you all that llamas are cool and smart but that they are NOT taking over the world. They are just sitting there, waiting, do not be concerned, you will be ok. :)
Shut it u smug animal I got a baby shower coming up and I am NOT going to settle for a cotton blend synthetic fiberrrr!!

ok so hopefully this doesnt annihilate the servers of this poor website but, what i use to convert webp’s is https://ezgif.com/
it has converters for myriad file types including video to gif, webp to png/gif/jpeg, png to pdf, and more; different ways to make and edit gifs, including special effects and adding text; there’s a resizing tool, clip splitter (only for animated gifs and such), and some more doodads. i love this website
they even added a sprite sheet creator ?? i think it extracts a sprite sheet from a gif but i havent used it yet
Transphobia is so antithetical to genuine feminism it blows my mind there’s such a wide overlap like you either believe in autonomy and self determination or you don’t
If there is one thing that’s never worked, it’s trying to legislate sex work out of existence.
Let’s clear up the definitions here.
Sex is something done with consent.
“Bought consent” is not consent.
Sex without consent is rape, and sexual services without consent are sexual assault.
Voluntary sexual workers are few, most are trafficking victims.
Criminalizing the purchase of rape and sexual assault is the best a society can do to shift attitudes and protect women.
If by clear up you mean - deliberately muddy the waters.
Rape and sexual assault are already illegal, and this legislation will neither protect sex workers nor ‘shift attitudes’.
As a former sex worker, let me make something absolutely clear.
A person who doesn’t respect my ability to say yes has exactly the same amount of respect for my consent as a person who doesn’t respect my ability to say no.
The people who think they have the right to revoke my consent over their own emotional reactions to situations that do not involve them have absolutely no respect for my consent what so ever.
My lived experiences are not yours to rewrite to fit your agenda.
My consent is not yours to give or revoke.
My body is not yours to define nor control.
And lastly.
Every research done on the effects of the nordic model show that it DOES NOT help sex workers.
It does not protect them, neither from police nor clients. It increases the risk and harm.
I makes survival sex workers lives much harder.
It does not give anyone an out.
You know what would though?
Money.
Safety nets.
If you genuinely want to help people out who want to get out you can not do so by going after sex workers livelihoods.
You need to build the paths out.
UBI, no questions support systems, better disability payments and access to them, better unemployment systems, affordable housing, etc, etc, etc.
And if you want to do anything about the sex work itself, listen to the people actually doing it! Work with them, not against them.
And what they are calling for is DECRIMINALISATION!
