@useful-ghost for things i personally find mildly useful
A third secret blog, for my own art.
And now a fourth secret blog, for my thoughts!
jowls are normal double chin is normal stretch marks are normal armpit fat is normal. none of the things that tiktok and instagram are telling you to change are things you need to even consider changing. you can have a normal body, it will be okay
forced caretaking as a trope i think is like cocaine to people who know they need to be taken care of but have mental blocks in the way like yeah please do gently force me into a state of vulnerability so my body learns it is a safe thing to feel around you
This has gotta be a hit with the girlies who have always wanted something terrible to happen to them just so people realize they're in more misery than their outward appearance lets on

May 14, 2026 - Unions in Bolivia have called a general strike to demand the resignation of right-wing president Rodrigo Paz, saying: “Resign or we will kick you out – those are your options.” The president's neoliberal reforms, anti-indigenous land reforms, plans to sell of Bolivia's industries and natural resources to foreign companies, and an economc and fuel crisis are the main sources of anger. Workers have set up road blocks, shutting down all major highways. Workers from rural indigenous communities are marching on the capital La Paz. They say the long march is "in repudiation of the government that wants to turn us into a US colony". [video]

Project hail mary is very much an 'I would die for you' story, but it is also, crucially, an 'I would live for you' story.
I would spend four years awake in a tiny spaceship with you to make sure you get home safe, I would build an atmosphere for myself so i can work on your ship with you, I would suffer starvation on an unfamiliar planet for years to stay alive with you, I would gather every one of the most brilliant scientists and engineers on my planet to keep you alive, I would turn back for you, I would take you the rest of the way.
They would sacrifice their lives for each other in a heartbeat, and if they live, they will struggle through all of the messy painful healing they need to because they love each other, and they love being alive together.
project hail mary is insane bc the first half is like oh my god the world is dying and there's alien bacteria eating the sun and there's some guy alone on a ship and he's having a breakdown and the flashbacks are getting darker and this is a tragedy the likes of which i have never seen. then BAM andy weir says fuck you actually. here's this pokemon guy he's here to save the day with the power of friendship. and it's the best thing you've ever seen in your life
'Why does every nonbinary person want top surgery' I dunno maybe because having visible breasts immediately makes everyone assume you're female and only female, and therefore put you into a binary. Also why are you assuming every nonbinary person has breasts.
I think people who believe that should also put some thought into whether every nonbinary person with breasts actually wants top surgery, or whether they've just decided that the nonbinary people with breasts who want to keep them don't "count" as nonbinary.
#i know plenty of nonbinary people who want breasts or like their breasts#but they're viewed as either transtrenders or trans women in denial <- prev tags
Having a flat chest/an absence of breasts is also a secondary sex trait typically associated by society with being binary male, but everyone seems to think it's neutral for some reason. Almost like maleness and masculinity are viewed as the default and female and feminine traits indicate some kind of deviation from it, or something.
Saw several people angrily responding to this one & all I can say is she’s 100% right
Paths of Past Lives (classes & lore)
god it’s so sad living in an allocentric world. There are so many relationships that are so complex and nuanced that are all put under the label of ‘romantic’ and immediately all the intrigue is taken from it. Like don’t you realize that these relations are actually ENHANCED by the fact that they are not romantic or sexual?
NOOO DONT PUT THE CHARACTERS IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP YOURE TAKING OFF THE SEASONING!!!!
"I would do anything for you; I would cross worlds for you; I would kill for you; I would die for you" etc in fictional romance= tired and expected
from a boss to their employee= what the fuck is happening there

Hey by the way if you're an American and you're against the war, it's your duty to call out the shit that is insane and monstrous and wrong.
If someone says something that you know to be wrong, say something. Push back on it. Iran didn't start this war. They haven't been at war with the US for forty seven years. The US didn't have to support Israel's strikes with this kind of escalation (we haven't in the past, in fact Trump hasn't in the past). The Iranian people are not looking to the US as liberators. The Strait of Hormuz was always going to be used tactically in this way, it is absurd to suggest that the Iran would open it because it is the single best method of leverage they have to resist annihilation from a superpower. Bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Saying that an entire culture will be destroyed is genocidal.
There is no moral reason for the US to do this, the reasons that the US is doing this are oil and to destabilize the region. Hubris, cruelty, and a vile old man who wants to give himself a hero's legacy play a part as well.
You should be saying out loud to the people around you "This war is unjust, unnecessary, and cruel, and every reason our leaders are giving us to tell us why we're doing it is a lie."
People should know you feel this way. Some people will feel the same way, and it will be good for you and for them to know that you're not alone. Some people will NOT feel this way and it will be good for them to know that there are people all around them who haven't bought into the violent propaganda of empire.
Simple things to say to push back:
There is no justification for bombing water and power infrastructure for ninety million people; that will kill thousands of civilians and is a war crime.
Iran was bombed while they were negotiating with the countries that bombed them; they were willing to make the agreements requested by the US and Israel before they were bombed.
The Strait was open in February. If the US and Israel hadn't attacked Iran there would have been no reason for Iran to close it.
You can't be an "imminent threat" for forty seven years, so either Trump is lying about the immanency or is lying about Iran being at war with us for half a century.
Canada too. Lean on your local politicians, show up to a protest, it'll take you 2 minutes to send an email! These are human lives on the line.
me when i fucking lie
"there is no evidence trans users were disproportionately... impacted" but by our count, since we are the only ones who care enough to count, of the ~200 blogs termed wednesday literally only one wasnt transfem

tumblr totally not hiding anything definitely for sure /sarc
who wants to see tumblr once again flagrantly abusing its moderation tools to bury bad press about the blatant transmisogyny in banning patterns? I love how they use ToS and mature labels to silence trans women and anything that could serve as evidence that trans women suffer here. Because, you know, there's no need to talk about any of that if we just erase it right? :) That makes it go away and the problem stop existing, right? :)
may 17, 1993 the police raided her home armed to the teeth. they detained her. they separated her from three kids for whom she was their only mother. and she was. she was sentenced to a year in suspension. they said she kidnapped them, that she stole them, that she was a perverse transsexual who was intent on harming them. she then took to the media to tell her story. years later, sitting at the table of mirtha legrand she would describe that day as a day of cruelty. but she'd had to face many more things before being heard.
she was born the 24th of december of 1943 and was given a male name in the province of tucuman. 14 years later, in 1958 she decided to change her name. for all that wanted to listen, and for those that didn't too, she would be mariela. mariela elcira muñoz.
she spent her entire childhood receiving beatings, bullying, collective rapes. her father took her to psychiatrists, to brothels, did everything to straighten her out. and couldn't.
at age 15 she took care of a sick woman. she had two children, one of 6 and one of 2. naturally since the woman couldn't take care of them, she took them under her charge too. eventually they grew up and she never saw them again.
at 21 she moved to the greater buenos aires, in a house she bought in florencio varela. there, she started welcoming children into her home, children whom she raised and loved. the first was the child of a sex worker who couldn't raise him and gave him to her. then came a teen girl abandoned on a train station with a baby in arms. she took them both in.
she raised, throughout her life, 23 children and, by the end, 30 grandchildren. four of them were the children of a builder whom she lended a room in her house in exchange for help in upkeep. since he also couldn't take care of them due to work constrains she also took the children in as her own. "i raised them all until they got married. they left the house with their partners, like any couple." she would tell on an interview to gente magazine in 1993.
her labor with the children was that of care: she took them to school, she fed them, she kept them healthy and helped them with homework and life. but society wasn't ready for it.
one day a woman left her three children to her. mariela took them in. after a while, the woman changed her mind and without mediating any words, sued her. that was the day of cruelty, she was detained and never again saw those three children she had raised with all the love in the world.
it was then when she took to the media to fight for them, to tell her story. she said, without beating around the bush: "i want to clarify that i am a woman. my older children are progressive, they're well raised and educated, they take pride in it, that's why they show their face and say: mom is mom. i did everything i could for them, i never deceived anyone, never."
it was 1993 and argentina faced for the first time the debate of if a trans woman could be a mother. it was her, even if many doesn't know it, the one who kicked open that door.
mariela had underwent sex reassignment surgery in 1981 in chile. years later, during her tribulations, guillermo mac millen, the surgeon who worked with her had to say to gente magazine: "her womanly attitude, her motherly feelings, her nobility to achieve adoption, which are some of the most sublime sentiments in the world, are comforting. that's the response we always seek in every case we operate on."
in 1997, that very same interview with mirtha legrand opened up with the diva showing mariela's id to the camera. "this is impressive, i never saw a case like this before, it's revolutionary", she said, as she read "mariela muñoz. argentinian. tucumana" and finished: "i hand your id back to you, where you show up as a capital l lady". she was the first person in the country to achieve a sex and name change in the documento nacional de identidad.
mariela was now an icon, a woman who stood up not just for herself who, against the surprise of mirtha, said: "i believe that this is something important and that after me will come other transsexuals who will also do it, but i would like it to be by law". her struggle wasn't in vain: her wish came true in 2012, with the implementation of argentina's gender identity law.
in 2013 mariela had a stroke and a judge granted her an "extraordinary and reparative" pension due to the discrimination the country, the law, and indolence and apathy had subjected to. she was 70.
four years later, in 2017, mariela passed away at the age of 73. she left this world victorious. having sown the flag of a new homeland.
today is mother's day in argentina, and i wanted to share her story with people from outside the country. the story of our very own trans mom
