i have always thought it would be awesome if someone had a non-nipple sparring mastectomy and then later had nipples tattooed on but in a comical 0 shape to look like they were drawn on with a thick magic marker

(i have no reason to do this as i'm cis and comfortable with how my body looks and would not have/accept any surgeries even to save my life (for personal reasons), but if someone else did this, i think they'd 100% be the coolest person on the entire planet)

(disclaimer: i work in the medical field (mostly non-patient facing) at a healthcare system with surgical services for gender affirming care, oncology and risk-reduction, and cosmetic reasons. sometimes the system is so bleak, i have to imagine ways that people can come out on the other side with joy and whimsy despite it all)

i hope all goes well and that the outcome is better than you could have hoped for, Teaboot!!!

I WANT CARTOON SHARPIE NIPS

OH this reminds me of the most fascinating patient I got to observe a breast biopsy of.

This woman had already had breast cancer with a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. She had the option for them to tattoo her new nipples. She instead had the Rolling Stones logo. Both sides. She told us she got the Rolling Stones logo just because she wanted to!

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

Shoutout to the people who grew up in a house where being gay or trans was just never talked about.

Shoutout to the people whose parents support lgbt rights but never told their kids until they were in their teens or twenties because they said it was “difficult to explain to children”.

Shoutout to the people whose religious communities came out in support just a little too late.

Shoutout to everyone afraid to come out just because they know they’ll be safe physically but they don’t know how everything will change socially.

Shoutout to everyone whose internalized homophobia that they’re trying to overcome came from subtle cues and not explicit statements.

Shoutout to the in betweeners. The pain you felt is real.

I see so many arguments over what is and isn't "good queer representation" that really just boil down to "y'all are actually arguing over matters of taste and genre preference, which is incredibly subjective and personal."

Worldbuilding where being queer is normalized and queerphobia has no impact on the plot? THAT'S FINE. Worldbuilding that includes queerphobia and tackles the effects of it as part of the story? THAT'S ALSO FINE.

Low-stakes queer romcom where the characters are fluffy and cute? THAT'S COOL. Messy queer drama with toxic people who fuck each other over and clash repeatedly? THAT'S ALSO COOL.

Stories that center the characters' queerness, show a trans character's transition, and are about the queerness as much as the rest of the plot? AWESOME. Stories where the characters' queerness isn't treated as a big deal, and have trans characters whose transition happened before the story entirely? ALSO AWESOME.

You may PREFER one thing or another, but it is actually good to have all these things. It's about variety. It's about queer characters being allowed to exist without censorship. It's about queer artists getting to make things without being told we're a "niche issue" or "adult content." It's about having as many goddamn cakes as the bakery can produce.

At the end of the day, I'd prefer a media landscape with fifty pieces of problematic queer representation over a media landscape with one single piece of queer representation that's trying (and usually failing) to be 100% perfect for everything and everyone.

I feel like every time we did standardized testing in school, we all said “I’m pretty sure I bombed that, that was tough. That was awful.” and I’m sure some of us meant it but I’m pretty sure a not insignificant percentage of the student population felt fine about their performance but didn’t want anyone else to feel bad and did not want to sound like a stuck up dickhead.

[byjove]

In all my years of schooling, I can’t think of one person who left end of grade exams or the SATs and was like “Wow, that was so fucking easy.”

[envys-stories]

I was absolutely a student in the "that was easy" because I am very good at standardized tests so can confirm I was being polite. My parents in fact coached me ahead of time to be polite.

Apparently Eva Stratt at the end of the movie on the ship had a prison tattoo on her neck that meant something along the lines of "life without parole." So, parallel to Grace and Rocky's adventure, there was a whole subplot where Eva Stratt

- Was eventually trialed by governments of the world as a scapegoat and sent to prison

- She somehow BROKE out of said prison and currently commandeers a rogue paramilitary faction of Project Hail Mary loyalists who believe in her over world governments, who presumably are still hunting her down

- She currently is on the run and staying mobile on an ice breaker ship like some kind of james bond villain base (but you know, good) while STILL working on project hail mary the whole time

- Her rogue loyalist faction controlled enough resources they could go to space and collect the beetles Grace had sent. Alternatively, it was the world government that collected the beetles, and Stratt had a whole ass heist movie to steal them, which is why she had the little xenonite figure at the end of the movie. Either ways she was running circles around them.

Absolutely insane. Never piss off a history major

Attempt number one to make macarons yesterday: a failure. Tasted like a brownie but absolutely not a macaron. 4/10.

[envys-stories]

Attempt number two to make macarons today: a partial success. We learned some things about spacing the macarons on the tray but ultimately did succeed in making macarons. Very chocolatey!

[velteris]

yeah i drive the truck that isekais all those lonely 20yo NEETs and bored salarymen. it’s a really hard job. they keep sending me to workplace counselling after each hit. “it’s normal to feel guilt at ending someone’s life,” they say. how do i tell them that’s not what makes me feel guilty? “but it’s okay. he’ll live a better life in another world.” yeah, with 100 girls who could have lived normal lives but got drafted into being in these boring dudes’ harems. how many women’s lives have i ruined. and they don’t even know. they don’t even know

[mcgravin]

Sounds like you need "His Soul is Marching On to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai" by CabbagePreacher, an actual fic on AO3 about famed abolitionist martyr John Brown getting isekaied to such a world and going on a rampage abolishing harems.
