“go early, it’s hard to find parking” you want public transit. “don’t go on weekends, traffic is terrible” you want public transit. “once i parked i had to walk half a mile to the entrance” you want public transit. “it took me an hour to get out of the area after the concert” you want public transit. “ugh somebody needs to DD” you want public transit. “can you drive? my car won’t start” you want public transit. you want public transit. you want public transit. you want public transit.

”transandrophobia/anti-transmasculinity isn’t real” When i was younger one legitimate thing o had against transitioning (in the future) was that instead of being a women scientist, instead of being progressive and boundary breaking, i would just be a man. What would all the little girls think if i abandoned them, left the harshness of female hood to become a man instead, become not the idol they looked up too?

[ted-undead]

literally used to get so upset that i would not be a “woman in STEM” and would be taking spots away from women who could be in STEM instead of a man like me. that once my gender changed i was the statistic we were trying to push against. who needs more men like me in STEM?

[boycreaturefeature]

Not to talk over you but use this as a way to get the conversation outta the tags — it’s younger trans men who needs men like you in stem. When you transition, the world doesn’t just lose a women in stem it also gains a trans man/masc.

@echoiiing said it very well.

So, for everybody that feels that strange shame and pressure of needed to be the Women Scientist, the Women Role Model in the room — you’ll instead be a Trans Masc scientist, a Trans Man Role Model.

Not to mention the fact that the world is always gaining new women every day in the form of trans women. They get to be the Women Scientists and the Women Role Models for women and girls to look up to. It’s not our job to fulfil that role when trans women are doing it so much better than we ever could.

Whenever the world gains a new trans person, future generations of trans people gain an extra bit of hope that they wouldn’t have otherwise had, so never ever feel guilty about transitioning. The world needs you exactly as you are!

[id: a screenshot from a tumblr comment by the user @/echoiiing. It reads "I was worried about this for a while, until I realized I wouldn't be "just another man in STEM". I'd be a trans man in STEM. If I ever make it anywhere, I could be someone for young trans boys to look up to, because they have even less role models than young girls. end ID]

do you guys remember when we googled something and we would get results that were actually related to the things we searched

[akindplace]

do you guys remember actually socializing on social media instead of seeing ad after ad after ad

I think tumblr should preserve the following/mutuals badge on anons. It'd make the website worse but in a really good way. it should be applied retroactively too

very cool but also kind of a dick move

Stop making Hannibal furry headcanons unless it’s this bird

It's apparently only ONE population of this species that does this. Everyone else hunts and caches normally. The other falcons probably talk shit about this fucked up torture family.

Ooooh that’s even more fascinating. That means it’s a learned behavior they TAUGHT one another.

i like to imagine how people in the post-material-scarcity future would romanticise the current time period.

having a job gave people a sense of community and purpose lacking in our modern age where nobody is forcing you to get out of bed on threat of starvation. actually the average office worker in the early 21st century was so much wealthier than a UBI-having-modern if you forget to count paying rent and also make some very bad purchasing power conversions. if you look at contemporary records (sitcom where the main characters are only at work when it's plot relevant) it is obvious that employment was never really a major obstacle to having an active social life or pursuing your own passions.

"it's pronounced fyootch-archy," pleads sponsor of proposed prediction-market-based system of government

[eightyonekilograms]

We've now seen what it's like when prediction markets are closely bound with government decision-making, and it sucks. I'm ready to try the other one.
