DON’T become even a casual nerd about historical fashion because you’ll start looking at pseudo-medieval fantasy and going “that jacket and those breeches are 200 years apart and reflect extremely different social movements” and “oh no they were NOT making shirts like that prior to industrialization” and “a fly front? in MY ~1500s???”

I need someone to have the tumblr sexypeople competitors in their tomodach life place. I need the drama!

or should I get the game?

[glitchfang]

there should be a term for characters you personally don't care about but you defend them anyways because the way people treat them is really uncomfortable. like ok this is a very middle-of-the-road character for me but the fandom's either been super misogynistic, racist, etc. about them or harassed innocent people who try to genuinely explore that character warts and all, and i find that more annoying than the actual character.

[androgynousmoonboy]

the term should by 'my client', like you're a lawyer defending your client that you are completely indifferent to but you are obligated by your job (or your morals) to defend

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?

This is Gaza today !!!

Despite the talk of a ceasefire, the bombing continues and the danger never stops. Explosions do not distinguish between a home and a tent, or between a child and a woman. The occupation repeatedly violates the ceasefire, proving that there is no safe place here and no guarantee of life.

[ghadafamily01]

With the announcement that the Rafah crossing will be opened for civilians to leave, we are not asking for comfort or escaping responsibility we are asking for survival. We want to leave Gaza because staying means living under constant threat of death, under bombardment that never stops and promises that are never honored.

[ghadafamily01]

Leaving Gaza today is not a political choice, but a humanitarian necessity.

We want to live, to be in a safe place, away from this permanent danger, before we are added to the endless list of victims.

wow i wonder if that 300 year gap could be explained by any outside factors…….whoa! for some reason it lines up with the timeline of britain’s invasion and subsequent colonization of ireland! wild, huh? i wonder if the two are connected in some way? i guess the world will never know….

“why do the Irish hate the English so much? It couldn’t have been *that* bad!!”

This was in place till 1973.

[commie-cosmo]

Seeing non irish people reblogging this makes me happy

[shofarsogood]

The stereotype of “the Irish are drunks” is English propaganda used to justify paternalism and controlling the Irish. It’s bullshit.

my hetero married mom is turning 65 and I shit you not she’s being denied Medicare unless she changes her legal name back to her maiden name on her birth certificate

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

she’s been contacting attorneys and speaking to every possible office and administrator and I’m like mom you might want to go to the news tbh

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

she is a very mildly unusual case because she had to shorten her first name when getting married so that her name would fit on the license form in 1990 and so now she has to petition for a name change to undo both that and taking my father’s surname because MAGA hates trans people so much lmfao

[penrosesun]

This reminds me of a surreal experience I had in law school, when I learned that my law school had LITERALLY no way to change your name in the system or on your ID. I pointed out that I knew multiple people who had gotten married while in law school, and asked the person at the registrar's office what they did in those cases, and he said that he guessed that they'd just have to not legally change their name while in law school?? I asked him if this was perhaps because the law school had introduced this system back when they still expected to be able to keep women from attending indefinitely, and he got really silent for a bit and then told me that he was busy and I should leave unless I needed something else.

Btw, I've gotten a LOT of traction with conservative folks with this story when I've told it, to the point of some fairly right wing people even agreeing with the much stronger position of "yeah, and why the fuck should you need a court order just to change your name either?" It hits all the right notes of absurdity, and of the government and other institutions intrusively reaching into other people's lives, while also demonstrating that that overreach is a clear attack on people with traditional values too. I always present it as "Now, look, I know it's not as fashionable for a woman to take her husband's name anymore or whatever, but she should at least be able to if she wants to, right?" and I don't even get people trying to argue slippery slope about it, most folks we just jump all the way onto the "preferred names are an issue of freedom" train.

Which is all to say that yeah, your mom should absolutely go to the news about this.
