The title really says it all

TIL “Yankee Doodle” was written by the British to mock americans. “Doodle” is thought to come from the German “dödel”, meaning “fool” or “simpleton” and “macaroni,” a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in one’s cap made them a “dandy.”

so you’re telling me that “stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni” would be like saying “wrote a G on his belt and called it gucci”

[beggars-opera]

that’s…a pretty good analogy actually

[ti-bae-rius]

US moron came to town

Hunting for some coochie

Wrote a G up on his belt

And this bitch called it Gucci

I'm genuinely so uncomfortable with any narrative that says anyone unwell is more worthy a member of society or happier if they can work. Can shows glorifying making disabled people just fuck off?

the funniest thing ever just happened to me

[razzbberyl]

im changing my name purely bc i don’t like it and we just told my family like a month ago. i haven’t been home since then but today i got back and my (extremely country) uncle gives me a pat on the back and goes “so i hear you’re my nephew now. proud of you, son” and i have to very gently say i am so so happy to hear that but i am still his niece just with a cooler name. and he throws his hat down on the table and goes “no! but ive been practicing!” so now he is calling me his nephew for fun

character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.

[bifeministfan]

Which character did this make you think of?

the worst is wanting to create and create and create but being trapped in a body that is so so so so tired

[passionfruitbowls]

you can tell that the barbie movie is going to be iconic because it's already generated two "recreate this with your favourite character(s)" trends despite the fact that it isn't coming out until july

I'm cosplaying for the first time ever this year and I'm super nervous. Not only about cosplaying as a plus size person but also just being neurodivergent and handling the different experience. I'm super excited too but if anyone has any tips on making it a better experience please do share!

If your goal is to normalize gender-nonconformity you’re gonna have to accept that some people will fuck with gender as hard as they can while still being unequivocally, 100% cis and that is okay. There’s no egg to crack or callout to write. This is a good thing actually.

[gaydva-deactivated20180104]

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”

more cis feminists should have this mindset

[gaydva-deactivated20180104]

one of the first examples that she uses to introduce her point about how perception by others can shape a person’s performance actually uses a trans woman. it explains that as a certain trans woman became to be seen as a woman more and more frequently, the ppl arond her eventually started viewing her as being ill equipped for tasks that they did not bother her about pre-transition. eventually she even found herself underperforming in these tasks herself.

whats the name of the book

Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine

[moon-boob-deactivated20191204]

Here’s a pdf, babes <3

[insufficient-earth-skills]

I knew it was this book before I’d finished reading the first two lines. Honestly this book is indispensible if you want to debunk any gender determinism people claim is science. I can’t recommend it enough.

[dodgylogic]

She’s written a new one! It won the Royal Society prize for science book of the year, and it’s called Testosterone Rex, and it is excellent.

(Bonus: it’s making old white men really really mad.)

(Bonus bonus: I am myself a neuroscientist, and the old white men mentioned above – who are not – could not have missed the point harder if they’d actively tried. Which. Maybe?)

[repost-this-image]

Thanks to moon-boob for providing a PDF, but please, buy the book if you have the disposable income. SUPPORT THIS AUTHOR!!

Next time someone comments along the lines of “I’m only okay with polyamory, when done right,” I’m going to reply “I’m only okay with monogamy when it’s done right” just to watch the sparks fly.

[thebibliosphere]

Some people are missing the point to this post. Yes, both are true, but the qualifier is almost only ever applied to polyamory.

No one tells people they’re not mature enough for monogamy. No one tells monogamous people their relationships won’t last because “monogamous relationships never do” despite monogamous divorce rates.

It's about the double standard.

*and if you’re one of the “polyamory is so much more enlightened, jealousy doesn’t exist with polyamory” arseholes, you can fuck off as well. Both relationship styles are valid, one is not more enlightened than the other.
