How did it get up there

[piratekayte]

It’s difficult to tell - typically light fixtures are installed using some combination of screws and brackets to affix them to the wall, but in this case the actual point of connection is obscured by a cat.

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Well-to-do finance manager with tidy shoes: "Why hello, sweetheart. Can you say 'hi'? Aren't you cute. Are you on a trip with your mom?"

4 year old me: why must we do this

Fantastic old woman in the leopard print coat: "Why yes, my tooth IS real silver! Nobody ever asks me that. Do you like cats?"

4 year old me, suddenly paying attention: Finally, A Person Of Intellect

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the doctor down the street who gives me my T shots in a clinic so small that it's just two rooms was excited for me when she said my voice had dropped yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the receptionist who could see that I was a man didn't bat an eyelash when I asked to see the gynecologist and called me sir when he asked how I wanted to pay yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the barber cuts my hair exactly how I want it and never gave me strange looks for being in a men's salon not even back when I didn't pass as one

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my friends have always gendered me correctly and stick to it even when it confuses other people and my friend's little sibling calls me older brother in Kannada yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my dog learned my new name quicker than the humans and she runs to give me a kiss when she's told to without being confused about who's being referred to

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I can feel the Adam's apple growing in my throat and my muscles getting stronger, and my smile more real and I'm growing a beard, and I talk more freely

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I'm here, and I'm alive, and so are you and there are good people, people who care and don't let them make you forget that-- you are not alone.

airpods are literally such a massive downgrade like remember when headphones cost £2 didn’t need charging didn’t randomly disconnect and didn’t get lost all the time. remember when tech kinda worked for kinda cheap

I think a really really funny idea to pop up in this recent anti-trans hysteria is the idea that someone needs consent to use a public restroom. like so many cis transmisogynists throw around "we don't consent to transgenders using our bathrooms" as if the act of a transgender woman pissing, literally in the privacy of a stall, is tantamount to a violation of someone's body. it's genuinely so beyond ridiculous it boggles the mind. i didn't consent to you pissing in a place where I can't even see you doing it.

[girldixieflatline]

they use that word deliberately because it evokes imagery of sexual assault tbh, thew view us being there as inherently violating so they describe it as if the violence has already happened.

i didnt consent to sharing a restroom with you. i didnt consent to seeing you exist in public. i don't consent to this fact of life and the fact you couldnt feasibly get me to consent to it means YOU are a predator now.

[theconcealedweapon]

You see this a lot with bigots. They take a boundary that would make sense for access to one's own body or one's personal property and try to apply it to access to people in general or public places.

You don't want someone in your house? That's fine. Your house is your personal property. You decide who's welcome there. You don't want someone in the country? Fuck off. The country is a public place, not your personal property.

You don't want to have sex with someone? That's fine. It's your body. You decide who has access to it. You don't want them having sex with others either, even when those others consent and there's no power imbalance? Fuck off. You don't get to decide what others do just because they don't fit your personal tastes.

[flame-shadow]

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

oh, Sisyphus! i got you

I am going to have a fucking stroke the fuck are you on about

Oh, yeah, let's compare overly elaborate skincare routines that women choose for themselves (albeit under the influence of advertising that, in aggregate, has a very negative effect on perception of women and their bodies) and pay for with their own money with the fucking tradwives who actively promote submitting yourself to a sexist man. Surely spending way too much on skincare is the same thing as devoting your entire life to an extremely unequal relationship and actively eshewing all forms of independence, financial, social or emotional.

We owe so many apologies to choice feminism holy fuck

-Sincerely, a fat hairy queer you claim to speak for

[themythicalcodfish]

You’re not reading closely - it is root and branch and pipeline. Choice Feminism, of which I am a personal advocate, only works if you’re making an INFORMED choice, if you know WHY you’re doing what you’re doing and what the ramifications of your decisions are. Choice Feminism requires constant critical thinking and a lot of people aren’t doing it.

These skincare routines, the ones that the OP is referencing specifically, the ones that are eight steps a session and want you to use red light therapy and dermal fillers and microneedling - why are you doing this for yourself? Okay, it makes you feel good. Why? Is it that you are taking the time to care for yourself because you’re lacking care in another are of your life? It’s anti-aging; okay. Are you using anti aging products for a health reason, because you have a family history of skin issues, or because you fear aging? If you fear aging, then why do you fear it? If it’s for your self-image, why are you comparing yourself to others?

Yeah, it’s a lot, asking why why why why like a toddler. It’s soooooo much easier to sit back and not be critical and just go “it makes me feel good” and let someone else do the thinking for you.

And that’s the pipeline, right there; if you outsource your critical thinking skills, you outsource your agency.

Hollywood has gone backwards in size inclusivity too. Seeing all these emaciated women crying in interviews because they’re malnourished on Ozempic and loosing their ability to regulate their emotions is so hard. It reminds me of all those stories about Judy garland living on coffee, bone broth, cigarettes, and diet pills while they were filming Wizard of Oz.

I think back to all the old misogynistic stereotypes about women being week and over-emotional and wonder how many of our great-grandmothers were starving themselves to try and keep their husbands from straying because there was no life outside of marriage and their reputation and wellbeing was dependent on their attractiveness.

[audliminal]

I swear to God it's not even just the looks thing, either! Fucking "girl math" and "I'm just a girl"-type statements are literally infecting everything and the way they insist that we have to keep trans women out of sports bc they "have a natural advantage" over cis women and then there's shit like full body deodorant (which I know the tags mentioned earlier but like. We gotta repeat that one. It's so unhinged)

And it really feels like it came out of nowhere bc being so deep in queer communities is like a innoculation against it all so suddenly you go outside and realize that the world is deeply, deeply sick

every day i think about how wild vaporeon would live mostly in the water but come to shore to have their pups (eevee), and then would probably groom their pups in a special way to trap air bubbles in their soft fur to make them more bouyant so they can float unaided on the water. and then as soon as the eevee have control of their little legs they're being taught how to swim, so you could come to a lake at a certain time of year ans see a vaporeon swimming around with a tiny soaked eevee paddling along behind it like
