Alchemical Disaster

I'm a hag in her late 30's. That's all you need to know here.

A transgender woman in Kansas was required by law to have a license that said she's male.

She was then accused of having a fake license.

Reason number 784,572 why cops are not welcome at pride.

Recent discourse reminds me of that cult indoctrination trick that's often used to weed out more difficult marks early on, where they tell you all that you aren't allowed to eat rice on Tuesdays and then if you protest they go "wow SOMEBODY likes rice a little much huh" as if you're the fucking weirdo who cares too much about how much rice is consumed between Monday and Wednesday instead of them.

And this forces you to decide whether your autonomy matters to you more than the approval of the group - while they'll still act like you're on thin ice either way, if you give in at this point they know you're theirs forever, because now they've established a foothold, you've shown a moral weakness, which they will brand you with so it can be used against you in the future ("hey RICE-addict here doesn't want help break into the city records office") to force you to double-down and isolate you further.

And if instead you do decide to push back further, after your abrupt departure from the group ("You're seriously leaving us over RICE?!? Seriously?") and subsequent ostracism, you can then be used as a demonstration to the others who were more pliable, of how the outgroup is full of people like you who are obsessed with violating the No-Tuesday-Rice rule to the point where they'll abandon all their friends, who cared so much for them, so it clearly isn't an arbitrary restriction, you're the kind of monster these rules are intended to protect them from, thus all the other wise and esoteric precepts of the charismatic leader are implied to be equally justified.

This isn't just for cults either! Shitty partners, bosses, friends - they all do variants of this where if you kick back the first time they make an unreasonable request, it proves you weren't ever committed since you'd let such a small thing ruin everything. And of course, if it's the third or the tenth unreasonable thing they ask of you, it's SUCH A SMALL THING to be a deal-breaker at this late point in your relationship!

Hey, we’re in line for some absurd temperatures here in the southwest this week. This is very important to know and keep in mind. Be safe, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun as much as you can.

[feefal]

My body is already an inhospitable environment, there’s no way a friggin baby would be able to survive in it

[feefal]

Also babies can’t even fight, how would they fare in battle against my inner demons?

"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH

If you've ever seen images of sweatshops in the early 20th century, in New York or the UK or other developed countries

Guess what

Your clothing is still made in a place that looks like that. The only thing that's different is the tech level of the sewing machines and the race of the workers

I can feel The dryness of those markers in my bones

[the-silent-screamer]

Fun fact those dry markers were supposed to have water put into them to make them work. You take off the bottom thing and pour water in and bam, instant marker success. Only learned about this four years after I’d lost my set 🙃

Hey. Reblog to save some poor kid lots of grief.

[no-lo-lo]

Fucking what?!

[tinydooms]

Every ‘90s child on Tumblr raises their head in outrage.

[justenoughlight]

I just stood up so fast and snatched mine out of my closet brb going to the sink

[justenoughlight]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[amyreadsandstresses]

OH MY GOD

[brink-of-insanity-georg]

WHAT

[alchemicaldisaster]

God, I keep having on Tumblr these fucking ads for AI generated Omegaverse soap operas, and usually they're so stupid I end up watching the ads until the end because I'm baffled by how much some of these are worthy of the shittiest telenovela I've ever watched...

But I've finally found one that I've been obsessing over because INCEST?!

Lemme explain. It's this story called "The Luna's Second Choice" and it's this human chick who was adopted by an Alpha who is offering her to marry one of his five sons... But none of them really want her because they all have the hots for their maid.

After the five wolf men gush to the maid about how good she smells and "omg my wolf howls for you" or some shit, she goes in to kiss the guy that the protag's supposed to choose and THIS HAPPENS:

Those two kissing on the bottom? THEY'RE BROTHERS. Like, LEGIT BLOOD BROTHERS. THEY'RE ALL SO HORNY FOR THE MAID THAT THE POOL IS TURNING INTO AN INCESTUOUS ORGY.

I remember when "trans women benefit from the male privilege they had pre-transition" was accurately described as a TERF belief and now its something you gotta get in the trenches and fight other queer people about. Depressing.

[lady-viccy]

"pre transistion trans women have male privlilege"

is on par with

"there is no law that says women get paid less"

in terms of understanding bigotry

[kingcatnine]

guards! read me my bedtime yaoi

[seven-oh-four]

my liege if you keep having all of the guards come to your bedroom to read you bedtime stories, there will be no one to actually guard the castle during that time!

[kingcatnine]

[cvntkisser]
