please don't get your political/social justice news from tumblr. pretty please. alison bechdel is my mom. home grown gay; sorta genderless; they/them. INTP. I don't exist materially most of the time. If I ever express an opinion, please tell me and I'll delete it.
Iām screaming LOL? Youāre a terf if you criticize porn literally at all, even just some of it. I canāt imagine trying to learn about feminism for the first time in this online environment.
Didn't realize that my friends who work in the industry, who regularly criticize the industry, especially on how trans performers are mistreated, are all TERFS.
once in high school i was walking down the hall at a brisk pace wearing dress pants and boxers and my (home made!! with nylon stockings + condoms + gak) packer just fell out of my leg and rolled down the hall a little ways and thankfully the only other person in that hall at that time was mr. hayes, the weird stoner english/philosophy teacher who rode his bike around the halls sometimes, and he literally just looked at me and said āi HATE when it does thatā and walked away
also thinking about this like gay sephardic poet from like the 13th century who wrote that moses would not have written down the laws against being gay if he had seen how beautiful his lovers face was and im like god the layers the romance the religious emotions..
the poet is rabbi yehuda al-harizi/judah ben solomon harizi! itās from his book ofĀ taįø„kemoni iirc, and the quote is āif Moses had seen the way my friendās face blushes when heās drunk, and his beautiful curls and wonderful hands, he would not have written in his Torah: do not lie with a manā
im making a new post with updated info, the old one had a lot of notes but not many donations lately. my cat has a limping leg and thereās a chance it might be a tumor; we tried to avoid it cause itās dangerous (thats why i spent the donation money on visits and medicine) but itās the last chance to know what the issue is. heās in a lot of pain and im tired of seeing him like this
i need 250 euros (not 300 anymore cause i changed vet) at the moment, probably more if he has to get his leg amputated
unfortunately im in a very bad place mentally and i cant work.
so id be extremely grateful if you could donate or boost this.
i also have a redbubble shopĀ https://www.redbubble.com/people/butchgems?asc=u
good news! my motherās partner decided to help me and mostly paid for the biopsy. weāre gonna get results in a couple of weeks: but thereās a high chance they amputate his leg (and my mothers bf cant pay for that too) so i still need money for that. thank you so much for all the donations so far, i was able to pay for visits and tests that werent covered by the price of the biopsy
They had to repeat the biopsy and we got the results. Itās a tumor.
So he needs his leg amputated and also another test to see if it spread in the rest of his body but amputation is the priority cause heās suffering too much and that would take the pain away. my vet told me theyāre gonna tell me the cost of everything these days but I guess itās pretty high. Iām gonna post it as soon as I know
my vets called me and said the cost of the test is 400 euros and the amputation 500 euros. now, im aware im probably never gonna manage to get 900 in donations but i need his leg amputated at least so heās gonna stop suffering like this. please reblog thisĀ

i think itās fun when i google how to do something and get results fromĀ āart of manlinessā or whatever like iām infiltrating Man World and stealing the secret Man Skills. and itās true, i am.
For fantasy is true, of course. It isnāt factual, but it is true. Children know that. Adults know it too, and that is precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living. They are afraid of dragons, because they are afraid of freedom.
So I believe that we should trust our children. Normal children do not confuse reality and fantasy - they confuse them much less often than we adults do (as a certain great fantasist pointed out in a story called āThe Emperorās New Clothesā). Children know perfectly well that unicorns arenāt real, but they also know that books about unicorns, if they are good books, are true books. All too often, thatās more than Mummy and Daddy know; for, in denying their childhood, the adults have denied half their knowledge, and are left with the sad, sterile little fact: āUnicorns arenāt real.ā And that fact is one that never got anybody anywhereā¦ It is by such statements as, āOnce upon a time there was a dragon,ā or āIn a hole in the ground there lived a hobbitā - it is by such beautiful non-facts that we fantastic human beings may arrive, in our peculiar fashion, at the truth.
