If your business can only be reached and all info about it only be accessed via Facebook or Instagram, know that it isn’t reachable or accessible AT ALL.

The whole metaverse can no longer be properly viewed without an account and I am definitely not making one just to see your contact info or opening hours.

Get a fucking WEBSITE. It can be just a static landing page with the relevant information. But get off the metaverse!

xena gave us trans drag lesbianism as a treat

[autisticexpression2]

There are layers to this. Earlier in the episode, Xena discovers her secret while they're sharing a locker room. A woman she has got naked with turned out to be trans. It's the exact scenario terfs are always fear-mongering about, but Xena just shrugs it off.

Also, the kiss was a big deal not just because it was gay but because the trans actress was HIV positive. They wanted to show the world that you can't contract HIV just from kissing someone. Bear in mind, the AIDS crisis was still fresh on people's minds in the 90s.

Happy Pride.

more people need to start making OCs because I just saw a post of a woman who named her real life human baby O'lyrix and I think that child's life could've been saved if mommy had just gotten all her quirky naming conventions out on a fantasy character instead of inflicting it on someone who's gonna have to submit a job application someday

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs

TW parental death, alcoholism, abuse, neglect

So my mum passed away a few weeks ago, at age 55, from complications related to alcoholism. A decade ago, my dad passed away, also at age 55, also from complications related to alcoholism.

The weird part is, when my dad died, I felt like the world was ending. I wanted to scream at random strangers to stop just going about their day, because didn't they know my dad was gone.

Like, I know what this grief is supposed to feel like.

But I'm not feeling it. Like, yeah, I'm exhausted to the bone from visiting her in hospital every morning for weeks and weeks, from handling all her bills and social work type stuff, from being the main point of communication with the doctors... but I don't miss her.

My dad was often a shitty neglectful dad, but he was also wonderful. He played the guitar, he loved Tolkien, he taught me to like art and music and poetry, he was funny and always tried to make me laugh, he let me crash on his couch, made us both hot chocolate and made me watch the super dumb action movies he loved. He was an ass about my cooking but somehow always ended up eating two helpings, while claiming that "one day he'd teach me to cook real food"

My mum... i don't know who she was beneath all the crisis situations she was always throwing herself into, or whatever new identity or illness she'd build her entire personality around for a few months. I know she was afraid of being alone with herself. I know she sought out situations where she could feel victimised because that would provide her with validation and attention and temporarily remove expectations of responsibility. I know she was grotesquely neglectful and often very abusive to my (half-)siblings and me. I know she was miserable her whole life.

It's difficult to find the person I'm supposed to grieve. I'm just tired.

This all just makes me miss my dad so much, which seems very weird and inappropriate, considering he's been dead so long and my mum hasn't even been gone a month.

common advice for social anxiety is to tell yourself "people aren't going to think less of you just because you said something a bit daft" but the thing is. sometimes they will. and you just have to learn to be cool with that and to treat it as a dnd random encounter rather than letting it ruin your whole day

recent example. lady at my careers appointment had a post-it with her name on it stuck to the monitor, so i introduced myself by saying "hello, i'm eliot! you must be [name], it's nice to meet you!" and she stared at me as if i was the stupidest person alive and said icily, "yeah, i'm [name]. congratulations, you can read."

in bygone times this would have reduced me to a sort of quivering blancmange. thankfully i am now in a place where i was able to pull back, calmly evaluate this interaction, and say to myself "this woman should probably not be working in a customer-facing job"
