Being sex crazed and perverted is good when tgirls do it
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.
it's literally cute to get really sleepy and start snuggling into your friends as your defenses drop and your inhibitions lower. really it would be rude not to take advantage of a cute sleepy girl throwing itself into your arms.

Ty for 10k that’s crazy. Here’s the drawing of their daily life
if an archaeologist says an artifact was probably for “ritual purposes” it means “i have no fuckin clue”
but if they say it was for “fertility rituals” they mean “i know exactly what it was for but i dont want to say ‘ancient dildo’”
Back in the day I worked at a certain very famous and very high caste art museum in the US as a junior curator. Part of my job was to catalog the objects in the museum database. This includes details like provenance, measurements, and a visual description of what the object looked like.
Like I said, the museum was a pretty snotty institution. It’s got a LOT of objects it’s way famous for possessing, but nobody knew about the absolutely massive collection of Moche erotic pottery it had because the curators were totally embarrassed by this stuff.
Some examples:
Pretty hot shit, right? They never, ever put any of this stuff on public view or published it in any catalogues but - we legit had like several hundred pieces of Moche ceramics in the “dirty pots” category. Anyway, I was left alone to just do my job with regard to the database for several years, ok? And I figured, well, these’re accessioned objects in the museum’s collection - better get down to bidness.
I catalogued every goddamn bestiality, necrophiliac, cocksucking, buttfucking, detached penis, and giant vulva drinking cup in that collection. I’d be like,
A drinking vessel in form of a standing man wearing a tunic and cap. He holds an oversized erection in his hands and stares into the distance (note I did not say “like he’s hella-constipated”). The vessel has a hole at both the tip of the penis as well as around the rim of the figure’s head, thus forcing the drinker to drink only from the penis or risk spilling wine all over themselves from the top of the vessel. Red and orange slip covers the surface of the piece.
Pretty straightforward, right? Apparently the deep seated fear of these objects that the curators exhibited was meant to spread to me as well, but - no one ever gave me that memo, because I guess Midwesterners reproduce asexually. When the curators understood that I had catalogued all of these objects in addition to the other, non-sexy pieces in the collection, they were apparently livid, but knew they had no legs to stand on in terms of getting pissed at me for it.
I visited the museum’s online public access database a few years back and - every single description I wrote of these pieces has been totally neutered to say something like Male figural vase.
Long story short? Just call a dildo a fucking dildo. It’s all gonna be ok, I swear.
This is absolutely the MOST unusual reblog I have ever tagged with what is probably my second-favorite tag, “talk to me about your work.”
Plus it’s hilarious.
I love ancient art history !!!!!
@lowercasetrashwriter
Museums should have sections dedicated to artifacts like these with a warning that says “There’s a lot of private parts in here but we’re dedicated to displaying history so we won’t censor these. Enter at your own risk” or something. It’s prudish to deliberately hide history because of some ding dongs.
Fucking Puritanism.
Unpopular opinion: Sex exists. Making body parts taboo is both psychologically bad for us and kinda stupid.
Look I know all of you collectively hate velvetvexations but like
This is such gross transmisogyny. None of this is even remotely true. Like none of this is true. All of this is just to lie about a trans woman to put these ideas into the world. There is plenty of real information about velvex out there to have beef with her for, and I get all of you are annoyed of her or whatever, but genuinely I don't think we should be allowing bigots to talk about a fellow transfem like this even if she is collectively hated.
Transmascvoicesproject is not real. That blog is meant to upset us and spread transmisogyny. Its bait. And he will target the vulnerable.
I was told that this post was condescending to "transfems with any vested interest in transfeminism" and I'm going to just make this clear here. I find that remarkably self serving and transmisogynistic. Why is it condescending to point out transmisogyny? If I made this post about any other trans woman that blog is lying about, you would not find it condescending. "You're trying to rehab her image" sure, why not. Talking about the transmisogyny the vulnerable face is "rehabing image" I guess.
The point I have had for the longest time now about velvetvexations is that she is a victim of transmisogyny, not just from these people but from us. She is the face of a community of people we hate, instead of the men and the cis people endlessly saying and doing worse things, she is the butt of our jokes, she is the one we mock at every turn. She gets suicide bait all the fucking time and is constantly mocked for not having an ideal relationship with her transhood. We have long since abandoned her as not one of our own and I think saying it's "condescending" to point out transmisogyny towards her proves that. When I told a popular transfem that she needed to stop using her blog as a platform for transmisogynistic call outs, she told me something to the effect of "and let people like velvetvexations get away with it?" And it's like. The fuck has velvet gotten away with? She is quite literally removed from our community and her own community. She is ridiculed nearly daily. Maybe I am too knowledgeable about her irl but y'all are not somehow righteous to continue to isolate her and mock her.
I get it. I hated her too. You don't have to be friends with her, you don't gotta forgive her, you don't have to even agree with her on a lot of shit. But you cannot be ok with the transmisogyny she faces and consider yourself a transfeminist. You cannot say it's condescending to want her to live in a space where she's not lied about. You can't say I'm insulting you by pointing out she faces transmisogyny. The most vulnerable of our communities don't deserve to be victims of bigotry, even if we don't like them.
Nobody deserves to be the target of Transmisogyny, nobody ever deserves that. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy let alone a girl with some bad takes.
if you pay attention you can start to notice a little secret about why discussions online, especially political discussions, are often so insufferable. Its because so many people have no other avenue for political change. They reasonably get disillusioned with the state of the world, but remain trapped in a system which beats them over the head with the idea that doing anything to actually change the system (joining a party to build a movement for revolution) is actually reactionary for one reason or another. So people remain confined to acting out their political ideologies online, or through their consumption or lack of it, they try to boycott and Post their way to a better world. and so, what you post and what you buy, stops being regular part of life, or even a part of life which may have political elements, and turns into the entire political sphere, one misstep balloons out of proportion and is put under a magnifying glass, because its the totality of political consciousness. hence every discussion and interaction is a matter of life and death, and spirals out of control from there.
of course, this isnt to say that the things we say and do online, what we consume, etc... aren't important, but whats far more important is your actual political actions, how you organize for change in the real world. Organizing within a communist party will do far far more for the state of things than making sure you and your friends have the correct opinions on fandom ever will, even if those views genuinely connect to important political concepts, they just will never matter as much as the actual political-economic system of society.
If you actually organize and get connected, what used to feel like the world falling in around you, will start to shrink into a small mistake. you wont feel like you've abandoned your moral character and have to fight to defend it, or fight to make others around you agree with eachother to feel like you're doing things right, because you already will be doing things right in a much more direct and immediate way.
this isnt a "touch grass" post, theres so much bigotry and hate offline too, what im saying is to touch politics, touch organizing. political change in history has never come from gossip, it comes from people grouping together to make something better.
I've said it before but consumerism isnt just when you consume a lot of things, its when you view your political agency and you very existence through the lens of consumption. Similar can be said about how people view their existence online on social media. Act for political change, join an organization, and you'll stop feeling trapped into acting out a caricature of progressiveness online, you can just fight for revolutionary progress in real life, and then live your personal life without worrying so much about making sure you and everyone you ever talk is Posting correctly
join an organization
considering how obvious it is conceptually, im surprised there isn't more "liminal space" horror media that has like. anything to say about the sort of rampant capitalist expansion + subsequent economic crash that leads to seemingly endless, samey public spaces like malls, resorts, and parking lots being abandoned and empty. The feeling of being the only living thing within a structure that seems, on the surface, built for people, but in reality expands into infinity in an inescapably banal maze of careless, empty rooms. There's no need for a monster, the environment itself both desperately needs you and wants you to die
The lack of things like benches, water fountains, trees or plants or living things of any kind. An environment that seems built to shelter from the dangers of the natural world but in and of itself is a danger to you the moment you become trapped there with no access to the outside. Malls with fake plastic plants and playgrounds full of plastic cartoon animals and fountains with foamy blue water with so much chlorine you smell it before you see it. Yeagh
Idk if this exactly fits but it came to mind from reading this
The last time I went to ikea I had an unreality induced panic attack because of the show room of fake rooms clustered together, set up like rooms for people to live in but with fake food, everything having a price tag, printed out textures for the inside of a water pitcher like it's a video game. It felt hostile but also too comfortable. The chicken schnitzel I got at the cafeteria was an unnatural heart shape and the cutlery was wooden and wouldn't properly cut or pierce anything. The bathroom assured me that it was extremely environmentally friendly.
That’s an approach to liminal horror I hadn’t thought of: The total falseness of the experience. The feeling of disconnect between what your eyes see and what your mind knows. Like, I’m sorry you went through that, but you could probably write a terrifying novella about it.
the statement: "a legal theory was proposed in which trans women could be targeted without violating the Constitution because other women and other trans people are excluded from our specific oppression, which suggests that transmisogyny is real and that transmisogyny affected and exempted are meaningful categories for analysis of our material conditions."
the response: "you are sowing divisions in our community by saying this. everyone has to get on board to fix things, which will only happen if you stop bringing this up. you are crazy, paranoid, and confused and the more you talk about your problems, the more we'll blame you for the violence that's done to you."
the smug condescension of a man who, upset that his privilege has been identified, asserts his male privilege knowing that a fair number of people will hop on board the "trans women are paranoid and divisive" train rather than interrogating their own biases and coming to the defense of more vulnerable members of their community.
the cherry on top was the tags, where he addressed the transfem he reblogged by name and said "I'm disappointed in you" as if she had done something wrong by sharing a post about her specific oppression. it's genuinely gross how trans women are treated so poorly so casually. how dare we speak?
i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are
and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy
So much of transphobia isn't really for us. It's for cis people, as a warning: this is how you will be treated and perceived if you step out of line. Like how the scapegoat is mistreated by abusive parents as an implicit warning to the golden child so the golden child obeys on its own.
Watching a bee documentary and they're saying shit transfems on here would get absolutely horny over
Hey there sis you wanna focefeed me a pheromone enriched slurry that's going to teach my my role in the hive? I'm only a day old I don't know how to be a bee yet
👉👈 anyone wanna forcefeed me the pheromone enriched slurry that teaches me my role in the hive? 🥺 anyone wanna teach me how to be a bee? 🐝
tme people, when a trans woman is being vocal about grieving the childhood that she never got to have, it is incredibly disrespectful to lecture her about the things that suck about growing up as a girl, because we DID grow up as girls. girls who were deprived at every angle of all the joys we sought, shoved into places and spaces where we did not belong, tortured by a community with a deep hatred of transfemininity.
if your instinct when confronted with a trans woman's grief is to contradict her and "correct" her, you need to do some serious self-reflection about why you believe it's your place to speak over her.
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made
“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”

i hope every lesbian gets to feel how it feels to have another woman be just as crazy about you as you are about them…. not having doubts or confusion.. I wish this with all my heart, for every lesbian, especially trans lesbians.
