Now you know.
I must reblog this comic from time to time to make sure I skip the theatrical curse.
thesecretknots.com (which hosts this comic) has this extra bit of lore when you hover your mouse over the comic
Reblogging for the extra bit in the alt-text screenshot.
We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched
Like there is nothing sexier hthan this
Can’t wait for OP to get scurvy
Are you under the impression that the ships themselves are what caused scurvy
Once again. Do you think this is the fault of the ships themselves
I laugh every single time
im realising that I have way too many personal experiences with terrible teachers being terrible lmao
at this point it would be less of a liability for elon’s lawyers to just kill him and take their chances on a murder trial
this is why elon suddenly hired a praetorian guard
The Ides of March is almost here, and I have this great idea for how to celebrate this year!
ALOK VAID-MENON Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness 1x03 (2022)
Alok’s book report of The Biopolitics of Feeling: Race, Sex, and Science in the Nineteenth Century by Dr. Kyla Schuller
this is the best thing to happen to twitter
Was a city
The same place in 2021:
Pretty good short video on how bad the new hp game is
This is 100% correct.
If you have purchased or intend to purchase this game, I do not consider you a safe person to be around.
If you have pirated or intend to pirate this game, I DO NOT CONSIDER YOU A SAFE PERSON TO BE AROUND.
The first means you don’t give a shit about trans or Jewish people (no matter what you might say, as the video admirably makes clear).
The second means you’re more invested in getting to kill pretend Jews than you are in giving up Harry fucking Potter.
Stop and think about that.
If you like the word “queer” reblog.
Honestly as much as I love Tumblr now, I’ll never forgive this site for the “ace discourse” era that nobody has ever fucking apologized for. Irreparable damage was done to aro/ace people and our communities and now that shit is being recycled on TikTok. And then aphobes have the gall to say “well it’s not like you guys have ever faced any hardship in your lives” as if they still don’t bully and discriminate against aro/ace people to this day.
Go rot.
love love love that the people who engaged in this are rebranding it as a silly toothless phase rather than accept even the faintest smidgeon of responsibility like
lol remember when it was acceptable to tell people they were lying about being correctively raped, and that even if they weren't lying it was appropriation? reblog if you're part of the ageing tumblr userbase!
omg and when we'd talk about how conversion therapy was fine if it happened to asexuals bc something something antidepressants and lmao is it really ""oppression"" if you can't go to your doctor without them repeatedly trying to alter your sexuality? so cringe
who was around for the onceler fandom and responding to people opening up about coming out to their parents and facing utter rejection or outright abuse with "ew gross what kind of freak would tell their own parents about something as disgusting as their sex life??" anyway what is with all these puriteens yelling at pride marches nowadays?
good times, glad we've all neatly compartmentalised that into harmless memeposting so we can all pretend to be very surprised that in 2023 people think it's appropriate to emotionally bludgeon a trans hacktivist over an orientation they don't understand and therefore think is worthy of bottomless abuse
The Midnight Market - Out Now
Sulaphraine, sorceress and lawkeeper of the seafolk, has had the very core of her magic stolen from her — her voice. To get it back, she must follow the thief onto land, but she’ll need some help to bring him to justice.
Enter Walter Fairfield, guardsman of Gullport. The chance to track down a thief is greatly appealing, but first he’ll need to get on the same page as Sula. The unlikely pair will have to navigate clashing cultures and a host of magical obstacles to recover Sula’s voice — before it gets used as an ingredient in evil charms.
‘The Midnight Market’ by Miranda Wright is OUT NOW, available in paperback and eBook format from a range of stores.
Keep reading for a preview of the first chapter below!

hey autistic transphobes, stop being transphobic. Just because you are autistic does not mean you get to speak for all autistic people. If other autistic people say being autistic affects how they understand or view gender, you don't get to fucking say they're being ableist for literally just describing their own experiences.
Your experiences are not fucking universal.
Just because you do not struggle to understand gender and don't feel like your being autistic affects or impacts your gender does not mean you get to shit on other autistic people and being ableist as shit.
Just because you're autistic does not mean you get to be fucking transphobic.
Just because you're autistic does not mean you get to fucking be ableist as shit to other autistic people and tell them their experiences aren't real.
Shut the fuck up and leave other people alone. Autistic people are not being ableist by describing their own experiences with being autistic and being trans. You're just an ableist transphobic peice of shit.
If you think you're going to argue with me on this post and say autistic people don't do this, or I'm just making things up to be mad about, fuck off because if you do you're literally just being blocked and reported.
Autistic people stop fucking being transphobic and ableist challenge.
You can reblog this even if you aren't autistic or trans. I'm tired of other autistic people being bigots and no one calling them out.
Never understood "immortality would suck cus you have to watch everyone you care about die" oh you mean like. You mean like being mortal. You mean like being a normal person who reaches old age. You mean you just think being old sucks. You mean just having a very normal life with normal relationships with normal people sucks because people inevitably die. I'm not sure immortality is the issue there bud.
Being immortal, you'd grow numb to the pain of grief. Your sense of empathy might wither away.
Or, even worse? Never dying makes you reckless. You become careless, maybe get hit by a bus, but you walk away.
You walk away, and that should be impossible but no way are you waiting around for EMS to show up and have questions you can't answer.
Everyday you risk becoming a government experiment.
What flavour of immortal are you, OP? Do you age? Will you aging, even after you become dust?
Oh buddy dont say "your empathy would wither away" like its a bad thing
Not just empathy for humans, I'm talking like you'd become a puppy kicking monster.
Please explain why having no empathy means you would become a puppy kicking monster. I am genuinely curious.
Honestly? A lot of my thoughts rn are people who hurt small animals for shots and giggles.
You really gonna tell me animal abusers have empathy?
Puppy kicking monster is an extreme example.
You seem to have missed the point: Why are you assuming that animal abusers don’t have empathy? What quality of a lack of empathy makes someone particularly prone to abuse animals? More directly, what impact do you think this stereotype has on real people without empathy?
Fuck. Every goddamn time someone equates empathy with morality, they go on to immediately demonstrate that they never bother with either.
I do wanna point out that like, as humans we have significantly longer lifespans than many animals that we take on as pets and yet for the most part this does not erode peoples morality when it comes to animals. We still see pets as having value, and as being worthwhile to connect with despite knowing that we will inevitably have to face the deaths of those animals especially for animals with very very short lifespans. The inevitability of outliving them, and grieving for them, is part of the deal when it comes to caring for one of them. As far as Im aware, having lost pets in the past does not make the grief any less further down the line.
Now, my question is: why would mortal humans lose value to immortals just because they will inevitably die? That doesnt at all apply in real life to other living things with shorter lifespans that we care about. I don’t buy that immortality would mean losing the ability to connect with or care about people, or losing your morals, even if it might mean that those morals may adapt to the circumstances. The immediate leap to “immortals would become the sort of person to kick puppies and not care about humans at all” is one I just don’t get sorry.
And yeah, no empathy is not by any means a bad thing nor does it mean a loss of morality. If anything, I can see a lack of empathy as a useful tool to have as an immortal for their own long term wellbeing, especially if theyre in the immortality thing alone. (Hi, low empathy person here. Can confirm I don’t kick puppies wtf.)
we need to talk about the profound disgust&loathing people obviously still have toward AFAB masculinity.
around trans spaces one often hears AFAB masculinity is more socially accepted.
this is bullshit.
a straightwashed, gentrified, defanged aesthetic of assigned-female androgyny is fetishized in certain niche mostly upper middle class circles, originally popularized by radical feminist "andro dykes" in the 1970s appropriating the aspects of working class butch presentations they deemed Politically Fashionable while picking us apart for being wannabe men.
we need to talk about surplus body hair and high T acne. we need to talk about "butch" fat distribution in the belly and the arms and shoulders.
we need to talk about Everyone Knew Before You Did and Why Do You Walk/Sit/Stand/Move Like That. the mortification of being masc on your period and every single person believing your masculinity is the result of your sloven laziness, like some deep seated, perverse refusal to be "clean". the invisible walls between us when communicating with fems. the gaping despair and terror surrounding unknown, unseen, never spoken of sex and sexuality, of always being Too Aggressive, Too Visible, Too Much, nevermind embracing our own queerness.
the transmasc community has been gaslit about this for long enough.
y'all take your bone-deep ingrained repulsion to us and dream up countless reasons to justify it.
you know who you are, incensed at our muscles and fat and droopy breasts and scars and hairy cunts with big fat clitdicks and booming voices.
you're mad we chose our own power over the right you think you have to sexualize us, emotionally vampirize us, to access femininity thru us for your own gain and that's why you feel betrayed.
"Sex Traitors" indeed.
i see you. we see you. and we know you know.
