Do you like poems?
yes! my favorites are The Tiger and the unnamed werewolf fridge poem
for context these are the poems
also I almost forgot but the r/ambien Gives Us The Sleep post takes a completely serious third place in my favorite poems list:
and COMING IN HOT at NUMBER FOUR on my list, it's Fragment 147! an accidental poem created when the original parchment containing a text by Sappho was used to stop a wine jug more than 2,000 years ago- eventually the wine dissolved most of the parchment, leaving just a few words and BOY do they prove that the Universe has a sense of irony.
I will reblog this every time.
Literally this.
Getting dirty, asking questions, being unapologetically enthusiastic about things, going overboard on projects. These are a few of my favorite things.
This is so heartbreaking, but so true.
And it’s even more heartbreaking when you see the transition and how performative it is.
I was a camp counselor at a science/nature camp when I was 16, for a bunch of 10 and 11 yr old girls. And one day while we were waiting around for the naturalist to come get us to go on the day’s hike, the boys cabin we were grouped with was exploring the area and overturned a log and found a salamander. One of the boys picked it up and they brought it over.
My girls all went “ewww, gross, keep it away!”
…right up until I said “whoa, cool, can I see it?”
This boy handed me the salamander and all of a sudden my girls were clustering around. They wanted to hold it. They were asking questions about it. They had stories of other times they’d seen a lizard or caught a frog or something. A couple of them went with some of the boys to look under another log and see if they could find another one.
All they had needed was permission to be curious, to show interest instead of disgust. And as soon as someone they were looking to for cues on “how to be a girl” showed interest, as soon as they didn’t feel like they had to perform socially-acceptable girliness and pretend to be grossed out in order to gain adult approval, all that natural curiosity and the fascination most kids have for the natural world just came bubbling right up.
As a female engineer, I have to reblog this.
i wish all trans girls a very kissed on the face by someone they love
i wish all trans boys a very kissed on the face by someone they love

in 2021 i want to see fat butches and femmes succeed. i don’t mean ‘flat tummy’ and ‘hourglass’ fat. i mean double chins, rolls, big arms, and round tummies fat. not society’s allowed image of fat. i mean f a t.
thin people can rb but do not derail or you will have a bad time!
I want to see fat butches and femmes who aren’t fashionable succeed. I want to stop feeling like I have to perform a certain aesthetic to be worthy of love.
its so shiddy when u have to convince yourself to do your hobbies. like, its fun, you like it, why cant you just do it. do it. do it. but what if.... mindless media consumption instead....
im so sorry to the seven thousand of you so far who relate

being a woman is thinking ur the ugliest person ever and then coming across a photo of u as a kid when u had already started to hate ur appearance and realizing u were so cute and then u do this every so often for the rest of ur life and u never learn
to any 13-15 year olds following me, i mean this genuinely, you are a child.
i know right now you might feel like you know everything and that you’re too smart to let anything bad happen to you, but please keep yourselves safe. there’s bad people on the internet and i don’t say that to be a buzzkill grownup, i say it because i learnt it the hard way.
use your block button liberally, you don’t need to justify blocking people/tags that make you uncomfortable. you don’t have to entertain conversations and interactions with grown adults.
you are children. you’re still growing up. make your experience safe for you. adults know what they’re doing. please stay safe on the internet.
