My Life After It All

My life as told through reposts. Sit down and enjoy as you take a look into the inner workings of an average, ordinary, American college student as he makes his way through life. I do not do follow for follow. I will however check out your blog if you do follow me, and consider following back if I enjoy the content. If I don't , don't take it personally. We can still be friends! :)

we joke and jest but there’s literally nothing more ‘monkey brain’ than the primal urge to climb things

[valtsv]

me: *sees any tall structure with features that i could use to scale it*

monkey brain: CLIMB. ASCEND. SCURRY UP THE BOUGHS OF THIS TREE AND FIND A SUITABLE VANTAGE POINT TO STRATEGICALLY SURVEY YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

[valtsv]

me: alright, i’m up. now how do i get down?

monkey brain: use tail to maintain balance and JUMP!

me: we don’t have a tail, remember? we evolved beyond it.

Sundresses are legit the most universally flattering article of clothing out there. I’ve never seen a girl in a sundress manage to not look like she could woo you into marriage within the first 24 hours of meeting. Girls in sundresses can summon butterflies at the flick of a finger. They can make beautiful bouquets of flowers spontaneously appear. A simple flip of their hair renders all sapphics useless. Like hello yes take all of my money and waste my time I’ll enjoy every second of it.

[gogh-save-the-bees]

And boys? In sundresses? Amazing! Truly universal

[this-account-is-a-mistake]

and the nonbinary people too. they look amazing in sundresses

[lakeffectqueer-deactivated20240]

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

[officialdamonalbarn]

THANK YOU

[hickeywiththegoodhair]

somebody please explain

[dykemisspiggy]

Someone once told me it’s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.

[iwilltrytobereasonable]

…I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle

[caecilius-est-pater]

There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) that’s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think that’s what’s going on here.

[crtter]

In case anyone’s curious, here’s what it looks like when you walk past it irl:

It does have a 3D effect to it! It’s pretty neat, guess it would be even more impressive to people from the 14th century.

[but-the-library-of-alexandria]

the thing about writing fantasy stories is that language is so based on history that it can be hard to decide how far suspension of disbelief can carry you word-choice wise - what do you call a french braid in a world with no france? can a queen ann neckline be described if there was no queen ann? where do you draw the line? can you use the word platonic if plato never existed? can you name a character chris in a land without christianity? can you even say ‘bungalow’ in a world where there was no indian language for the word to originate from? is there a single word in any language that doesn’t have a story behind it? to be accurate a fantasy story would be written in a fantasy language but who has the time for that

[a-kite-dancing-in-a-hurricane]

Tolkien had the time apparently

LIsten. Linguistics Georg, who invented over 10,000 conlangs each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

I appreciate that this site has info on the differences between heart attacks in girls and in boys, but like

As a trans girl that’s been on hormones for almost two years now, I have no idea what to look for lmfao

[kiriamaya]

Yeah, I really wish posts like that would specify whether it’s caused by hormones or something else, because like, they’re not much help if you’re not cis.

[abomination-of-gender-deactivat]

Speaking as someone who is trans and is a researcher: The horrific thing is actually that we don’t know.

Trans science is new, and we don’t know whether any given gendered trait is altered by hormones. It’s unfortunately as simple and awful as that.

Of the tiny amount of medical research which exists on trans people, the lion’s share focuses on HIV, because that is where the funding is, or on endocrinology, for obvious reasons. In other words, it’s all applied: there is almost no basic research on trans health.

[meshugenist]

additionally: even in people who have not taken hormones the signs are not that binary and much of that info is inaccurate to begin with

[cannabiscomrade]

Hey!! I can help with this!! I’m certified in first aid/CPR and have been for years, and I’m about to get my next level of certification to become an instructor.

Trans girls can experience a mix of symptoms, so it’s best to know what symptoms present most commonly, as well as the different appearances symptoms can present as. Since the reason why heart attacks somewhat have “gendered” symptoms isn’t totally known, it’s hard to determine exactly who will experience what, and whether gendered symptoms are psychological (like some other illnesses), physiological or both.

One of the problems is heart attack awareness is generally divided explicitly between the recognized sexes. So the symptoms seem cut and dry, at least in the mainstream.

What you need to look for: >Sudden arm pain: can be in your left arm only, but can be in both arms. The pain may build >Nausea/cold sweat or heartburn >Sudden chest ache or pain, or even a squeezing feeling >A feeling of dread/severe anxiety or nagging mental discomfort. Most commonly described as a feeling of impending doom. >sudden back/neck/jaw pain

When in doubt, call the emergency line (911, 999, etc) or get someone to take you to the hospital asap. If you can’t get transportation, try to make it as easy as possible for EMS to get to you. Go to an open space/landmark, unlock doors if you’re inside, park your car and pop your trunk/open your door, etc.

The biggest symptoms of this list are the arm and chest pain. But trust your gut.

if anyone was wondering the above list applies to a lot of intersex people too!

[knifebiting]

Would the mix of symptoms also apply to someone afab taking testosterone? This is a thing I’m really paranoid about as well

[cannabiscomrade]

Yes! Trans men/non-binary people on testosterone need to look out for mixed symptoms as well.

Honestly everyone should know all the symptoms, gendered or not. Dyadic cis people can experience symptoms opposite of binary assignment.

The biggest thing with heart attacks is the symptoms will be sudden. They’re not carry over symptoms that last for days, but people with chronic illnesses that cause similar symptoms should be proactive about symptom tracking. You need to know when things are different so you can act quickly.

As a last note: heart attacks may not present with chest pain at all. Be aware of your body and any abnormal changes you may experience.

Noir: Has a whole fucked up origin story in which his uncle ben is cannibalised, he watches someone get eaten alive by spiders, he gets cursed by a spider god with intense power, he has his mentor killed, and a whole SHIT TON of other horrible traumatic experiences that include but are not limited to having his best friend lobotomised and brainwashed thanks to a racist scientist

Also Noir:

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

[daywatch]

I know this is a funny post but

There are a few major points in Country Music’s history that got the entire genre labeled as ‘annoying’

Post 9/11 nationalism

A term that I couldn’t make up “Bro-Country” which intensifies themes of booze, objectifying women, and partying that were present in past decades but not to such an extent

This is Gospel Music But With an Accent

Now looking at the songs op listed there is

A woman pleading to another woman

A woman wrecking a shitheads life

A guy loving the scenery of where he lived

A song that could easily be mistaken for a number of other genres

But it is easier to say that one hates country while privately enjoying select songs than explain why one doesn’t like the current market oversaturated with our nation’s problems of nationalism, sexism, and so on
