Hey guys, I've added the google doc where me and Nairuz have been compiling the vetted fundraisers all on one list that can be easily updated and seen by everyone. I think it's faster than the system I had going before.
Go check it out, I've added 13 links in the past hour.
there are corners of this website where the year is still 2013. and sometimes, on beautiful nights when the veil is thin, you can find them . if you know where to look
French-Iranian author and illustrator Marjane Satrapi, best known for the book and film “Persopolis”, has died of "sadness", members of her
This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.
May her memory be a blessing
tumblr glitched and now there’s just a guy in the void
Wile E. Coyote, two milliseconds before he lights a match only to reveal he's surrounded by flammable traps he himself has set and the whole website explodes
lesbian scifi is so easy. here’s a woman in cargo pants and a tank top on a spaceship. are you with me
maybe it’s not even cargo pants. maybe it’s coveralls rolled to + tied around the waist. maybe she even has fuckoff boots
a helping hand during plum season
i'm sorry i never did your tag game. i love you

I think part of the reason "egg discourse" gets people so riled up is (surprise) misogyny, again. Because from a cis perspective, to say to a cis woman "hey maybe you'd be happier as a guy" under patriarchy is to imply "you're not appropriately upholding your feminity and not putting in enough effort and not staying in your place", which to someone who hasn't really interrogated any of this, would be a grave insult. And, to say to a cis man who hasn't interrogated any of it "you might be happier as a woman" is to say "you have completely and utterly failed as a man and clearly instead have some kind of twisted perversion that would make you enjoy being a member of the designated lower class that we hate except for their role as sex objects".
So, in a patriarchal and misogynistic society, to even lightly suggest transition to someone is a drastic insult and potential social death blow, and for people who aren't transgender, that is not worth the risk.
Which like the point is that womens rights is tied to trans rights as well, all these attitudes are intertwined and if you want trans rights you want womens rights too (and if you try to have womens rights while also hating trans people, you will undermine yourself)
Sometimes being like, even mildly aware of transfem issues will have you feeling like you're losing your mind. The news mentions that trans women specifically have been banned from something in a matter of fact way with no mention of the repercussions. On the internet people are loudly complaining about how this is terrible because it will harm cis women. Someone you know uses a term for themselves that is frequently used to aggressively argue against trans womens womanhood, and when a transfem friend rightfully raises her hackles, she is accused of denying people their identity, talking over and suppressing them, her own identity not even figuring into the matter. The medical guidelines are vague to nonexistent, left largely to the whims of any individual doctor, and besides within transfem circles this is barely discussed at all. Like it really feels like a great chunk of society, including some people who regularly interact with trans women, does not really comprehend that trans women have their own internal lives and are a real demographic actually affected by the world all on their own.
If you mention that being told you might be a girl would have saved you years of anguish and self repression, someone else will state that if they'd been told that it would have made them really uncomfortable. And everyone will agree that it's just not worth that risk. And you sit there going, what? How does that math check out, are you insane? But the answer is that even when you're sitting right in front of them, a lot of people just won't properly comprehend that you have your own internal life.
So grateful to be 28 now, I could not remember my age for the life of me the whole year I was 27. Bizarre age
Update: same problem
how many people on this website like actually absorb the fact that race is a social construct? that race is indeed assigned at birth and reinforced socially through an entire lifetime? that race is fluid and racial privilege is granted and taken away arbitrarily based on what white supremacist power structures benefit from the most? that racialization is relative and changes over time and space? that there is no genetic evidence that race is biological, that it’s a farce in the same way the idea of biological sex is?
I love autistic/autistic relationships you can say shit like “is it resolved to your satisfaction ?” N if everyone says yeah then you can just move on n be chill
