Tingle just cranked out 50k words for a spite story for JKR and I am LIVING for it!
[Image one: Tweet from Chuck Tingle ( @ChuckTingle ): please enjoy new full length adult romance novel (52000 words) in paperback or ebook about the best wizard: TRANS WIZARD HARRIET PORBER AND THE BAD BOY PARASAUROLOPHUS available now also trans rights amazon.com/dp/B08B386R6J ]
[Image two: Cover of the aforementioned Harriet Porber novel; Harriet is front and center, a young trans woman with light skin, long dark hair, and glasses; she has a wand raised in her right hand. Behind her are a mammoth in a wizardās hat, an anthropomorphic duck-billed dinosaur, and a motorcycle with the head of a woman.]
Chuck Tingle is a gift.
OMG the summary:
Trans wizard Harriet Porber is a master spellsmith whoās found herself in a bit of a pickle. After finishing wizard college, Harriet made a name for herself by creating a hit viral spell, but has since failed to craft a follow up. Now Harrietās agent, Minerma, is breathing down her neck, suggesting that Harriet take a trip to an island off the coast of England for inspiration. Hoping for some peace and quiet to clear her head, Harriet Porber arrives to find that her new neighbor, an angsty bard named Snabe from the band Seven Inch Nails, is already there making a racket. This parasaurolophus spellcaster is a bad boy through and through, and with his incredible powers of metamagic, Snabe reveals that this layer of reality is much more than it seems. Could Harriet and Snabe really be characters in a parody romance novel? Soon enough, these two are discovering they have more similarities than differences: both trans, both strong, and both hoping to create a new spell that will change the world. But with the addition of two devious sentient motorcycles to the mix, Dellatrix and Braco, things start to get complicated. Now trans wizard Harriet Porber is caught up in a tale of magic and mystery where nothing is as it seems, except for one universal truth: love is real. This is a 52,000 word bad boy romance novel for adults. It contains some explicit scenes.
Chuck Tingle is a god.
If youre fat all of the like fashion subcultures out there arent really accessible to you.
Fashion is made for skinny people and oversized clothing is made for skinny people and tall boots are made for skinny people.
Of youre a fat person and you want to wear any of these things you either arent going to be able to find it or it wont fit you quite right because designers dont actually care about designing things for fat bodies.
The only thing out there thats actually made for fat people is tummy control jeans. And those things are fucking awful.
If youre a fat person interested in fashion youre meant to squeeze yourself into the smallest thing that can possibly fit you so that you might look just a little bit smaller so people can be like oh you look like you lost weight to your face and then behind your back mock you for the inch of back between your shirt and pants and how you obviously dont dress your size.
And if you wear anything baggy or loose people will be like oh what a gross monster. You obviously dgaf about your "health."
Like there is literally no way to win.
And of course theres the sexualization that goes into fat bodies. Like show a little bit of titty with a fat body and people will throw a fit like your whole nipple is sticking out or wear a short skirt with a fat body and people will act like you flashed grandma.
Fat bodies are policed so much harder than skinny bodies and its just super upsetting to know that no matter how cute I look and no matter how many pieces of clothing I save I will never really be allowed to capture the look I want because people will never see me as some cool fashionable person but rather a gross nasty lazy slob.
SLAAAAY TORONTO IM SO PROUD OF THIS
*offers you an evil retirement plan and extremely good evil workplace benefits*
But do you offer evil dental?
Of course??
I said it was extremely good evil workplace benefits, and that is the bare minimum smh. All of my henchman have dental. If some āheroā comes in and punches one of your teeth out while youāre guarding my lair or any of its many nefarious secrets, I will ensure you get seen by one of the finest dentists money can buy
Excellent, I look forward to working with your evil team and being apart of your Ā nefarious schemes and plots
Thank you. Iām overthrowing God

Hereās the post mentioned btw :Ā https://another-confused-ace.tumblr.com/post/620381965243301888/this-pride-dont-forget-about-us-id-this-pride
i really donāt have the words to describe how cruel this is. itās pride month. weāre in a pandemic. itās the anniversary of the pulse massacre. and you can now legally be denied medical care and insurance for being lgbtq. i am unspeakably angry. my heart is heavy.
This is misleading. According to the TGIJP:Ā āRepealing the regulation does not make discrimination against transgender people in healthcare legal. The repealed regulation merely clarified that federal healthcare anti-discrimination law (The Health Care Rights Law also known as Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act) protections on the basis of sex protect transgender people. However, those section 1557 protections for transgender people still exist, because multiple federal courts have held that federal protections on the basis of sex protect transgender people. The repealed regulation had only served as recognition by the federal government that this is the law. Repealing recognition of the law does not repeal the law. Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress, so it only can be repealed by Congress. The executive branch has no power to overturn this law. What they are doing is creating confusion that will likely cause healthcare providers to think that they are allowed to discriminate against transgender people, which they cannot do, and make it harder for transgender people to show that they are protected. Additionally, many states have protections against discrimination against transgender people in health care.ā (source)
Also, anti-discrimination laws are not where we will find our justice and equality. They do not protect us. We need to think beyond a rights-based framework that centers individual prejudice and discrimination and obscures institutional biases and systemic injustice.Ā
āit doesnāt repeal protections per se but it makes everyone think itās repealed so the outcome is the same unless you take the people who left your loved one for dead to courtā and āequality isnāt found in the law so there shouldnāt be legal protections for oppressed peoplesā are not the sparkling arguments you think they are
What writing this rule (which replaces the Obama-era rule) does is give protective cover to insurers and providers to be able to either charge LGBTQ but specifically trans people more or deny payment for services, or deny specific services, because there isnāt explicit protection preventing them from doing so, because, per the HHS Office of Civll Rights head,Ā āWeāre going back to the plain meaning of those terms, which is based on biological sex.ā The Obama-era rule was an explicit expansion and explanation that sex was defined as āmale, female, neither, or a combination of male and female.ā All Section 1557 says is that it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of ārace, color, national origin, sex, age or disability in certain health programs and activities.ā So it actually very much allows providers and insurers to discriminate against people, if they donāt consider transgender individuals to be protected under sex discrimination.
Specifically, the new rule involves:
Eliminating the general prohibition on discrimination based on gender identity, as well as specific health insurance coverage protections for transgender individuals;
Adopting blanket abortion and religious freedom exemptions for health care providers;
Eliminating the provision preventing health insurers from varying benefits in ways that discriminate against certain groups, such as people with HIV or LGBTQ people;
Weakening protections that provide access to interpretation and translation services for individuals with limited English proficiency;
Eliminating provisions affirming the right of private individuals to challenge alleged violations of § 1557 in court and to obtain money damages, as well as requirements for covered entities to provide non-discrimination notices and grievance procedures;
Narrowing the reach of the regulations by only covering specific activities that receive federal funding, but not other operations, of health insurers that are not āprincipally engaged in the business of providing health care,ā and no longer applying the regulations to all HHS-administered programs;
Please note that part of the rule is to make it hard for people to be able to claim that Section 1557 was violated and go to court. Also, considering the Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the transgender rights case(s) before them, I wouldnāt be so quick to rush to theĀ āfederal courts have already said this is a thingā. I mean, Aimee Stephens, the transwoman involved in one of those cases, died last month waiting for the Supreme Court to hear arguments and issue its decision.Ā
The real impact isnāt to outright remove the protections that had been put in place (though it absolutely does do that) - itās to make LGBTQ people afraid of getting medical care, and particularly right now, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Itās to promote more health crises and likely deaths among an already vulnerable and targeted group of people. Itās going to be snapped up by the red states who are more likely to not have those protections as well as moreĀ āfaith-basedā health care providers. Also note that abortion is listed there because we need to get another attack on women.
Due to how much the ACA has caused the health care industry to adjust and shift over the almost ten years that it has been around, and due to the fact that a lot of health care corporationsā actions are governed by which state they operate in or are technically based out of, youāre not going to see an immediate jump toĀ āfuck LGBTQ people and especially trans individuals I hope you dieā but something just as bad, which is the quiet shift to higher costs for services and treatments, the little denials and rejections, and even in states with fairly robust protections, thereās enough bigots and assholes who will do it anyway because they feel empowered to do so, and itāll be ages for any resolution.
Parents Supporting Their LGBT Kids During Pride Month.
Fuck spreading hate like wildfire, spread this! Compassion, love and pride during pride month!!
Some poc parents showing their support because images like these are rarely shown and hard to find.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
SPREAD THIS LIKE WILD FIRE.
I'm proving a point to my mum.
Reblog if you think that your gender is NOT defined by what intimate parts you have at birth
i had a dream where the hottest meme on tumblr was like⦠posts where you listed off people who should be prioritised for safety if the great flood happens again (like noahs arc) and it got to the point where they would span for hours and hours down your dash listing more and more obscure traits likeĀ āpeople who have had a front tooth removed but never had a fillingā andĀ āpeople who stood in dog shit last saturdayā
i dont think i explained this concept well enough, i remember some of the images and they looked like this
i hate when rich people condescend with the whole āmoney canāt buy happinessā argument like listen. just because buying your fourth car didnāt fill the void in your deluded disconnected-from-reality life doesnāt mean not having to worry about food/ bills/medicine wouldnāt greatly improve the mental health of literally everyone else on the planet
Money canāt buy happiness but it can buy peace of mind, which is a step in the right direction
Also this has been disproven. Money DOES buy happiness up to the point where you can live comfortably and afford some luxuries. The threshold is about $75,000 a year. If youāre earning less than that then the āmoney doesnāt buy happinessā lie is to stop you from aiming for higher pay.

You can identify a fake redneck by their passionate support of āblue lives matter.ā Real rednecks have been in at least one physical fight and/or high-speed chase with police officers and would do it again
My dad is one of the biggest rednecks youāll meet and before his health declined his favorite activity was to walk down the street until he was about to pass a cop, make eye contact with the officer, then act nervous and take off running so the cop would chase him and bring him to the ground. Then he would sit there like a smug asshole while his info was run and thereād be no warrants out for him or anything and the cop would always be pissed that he ran and ask why he did that and heād always grin and say, ājust wanted to go for a run Officer. Didnāt know exercise was illegal.ā
Also my dadās half cherokee and has darker skin but most people donāt really know what natives look like so heās always mistaken for hispanic. This dumb bitch loves to spout off random spanish words and phrases to anyone with a badge until they go get or call the translator only to then reveal he speaks english. I think every morning he wakes up and thinks of how heās going to ruin some pigās day in the most mundane way possible

hey guys just wanted to inform you this video takes place today
As an experiment, we planted someĀ āGlass Gemā corn in the garden. A tiny packet of seed corn was given to us by a daughter. We had room for only a few plants, so we didnāt have high hopes that it would pollinate well. Today we pulled back the husks and found precious little ears of corn!
@madeofwhitebone
Iām always so, so happy when I see people enjoying glass gem corn as it was borne out of the work of Carl Barnes, a Cherokee man, as a way to further connect with his heritage
When he began growing some older kinds of corn, the genetics of different ancestral types started to reappear.
He took it upon himself to seek out the elders to whose tribes those ancestral strains had been loved and cultivated by previously. It allowed these tribes to welcome back and cultivate the corn their ancestors knew.
The glass gem varieties were part of the selective breeding he worked on.
Unfortunately, Carl passed in 2016. Something that tugs at my heart is that he gained the name White Eagle, which is also the name of the dent corn our tribe is known for and is grown by us to this day.
The corn he cultivated (and re-cultivated) are still available to purchase and grow yourselves here

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he āregularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,ā I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I fucking love him
i can imagine this guyās voice very clearly in my head but i couldnāt put a name to itĀ
He also jabs racists in the eye!
I love the justice grandpa of fists
Iām very lucky to own a book thatās a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.
He was a enjoyable cuss who didnāt care for war mongering.
Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!
He certainly didnāt like selfish husbands and fathers!
Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs werenāt safe.
He said fuck the police!
He absolutely didnāt like people ruining little things for kids.
He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.
He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.
You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. Heād right that wrong real quick!
And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.
I have a new role model

Itās nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon thatās NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.
