I haven't seen this version anywhere so I made one!
This flag is pissing off TERFs of course but i am seeing so much colorful JOY from trans lesbians and other lesbians in the notes like I've never seen a set of tags so happy before omg
everyone should reblog the bipoc transbian flag. It should be law.
I used to be a passionate advocate for transmasc lesbians. My logic was this: lesbianism is a social culture that is defined not by rigid boundaries but by a shared language, in-jokes, memes, signifiers, etc etc. I argued that even a cis man could be a lesbian in theory (but that if "he" is there is definitely something queer going on with "his" gender so "cis man" is probably not the most apt descriptor). I pointed to other examples of queer words whose meaning has changed over time (e.g. "bisexual") to indicate that there is no need to insist on WLW as a definition (or its "non-men" equivalent) even as the reality of the use of the word "lesbian" is shifting right before our eyes. I took a descriptivist approach to "lesbian"="whoever calls themselves a lesbian".
But in all my activity along this line, I never even noticed that not a single transmasc lesbian (nor cis lesbian) had ever reached out to me to say "you are welcome in our community". I was putting in all this work to advocate for a group of people who didn't even want me around, and there is no way in hell they'd put in the same effort for me. I was doing the intellectual work of justifying the inclusion of a group that benefitted from my exclusion.
I think that when I realised that this was happening was when materialism really clicked for me. Who actually is excluded from lesbian spaces? Who actually needs help being included? Who doesn't need that help because they are already included? For all I heard online about the demonisation of transmasculinity, you can't move for transmascs of all stripes in my local lesbian scene, while there are maybe one or two transfems willing to put up with the indignity of how they are treated there.
My views on transmasc lesbians haven't really changed, I still agree with all that in principle. The thing that has changed is I no longer spend time and energy advocating for a group of people who will accept my advocacy only to slam the door in my face.
Never forgetting the time a trans man tried alienating my best friend from me when they were dating because I was "male brained" and only saw me as a potential rapist because of it, fortunately bestie knew better and we still make fun of him every now and then🤣
if you tell a trans woman she is "enforcing passing culture" by wanting to pass and expressing it i honestly hope nothing good happens in your life ever after that
Crazy that once I'm passing and starting to feel good about myself, fake allies are trying to tell me that being bricked tf out is actually the best.
it is genuinely fucking insane how difficult talking to normal people is after spending any amount of time on radical tgirl tumblr
even the most fucking milquetoast takes like "communism is worth serious discussion actually" and "the us military is an oppressive regime" get you funny looks and anything beyond that like "marriage should be abolished" or "incest is not the moral and genetic black hole you think it is" or "children should have legal autonomy" instantly turn the entire room against you
me (an angel): and this is the inner thigh, engineered to be the most biteable part of the entire design
god (just fumbled a tgirl, angry at world): put the femoral artery in it
"but paws how could god fumble a tgirl if He hasn't created humans yet?" she was an angel. like all trans women. write that down.
I had one of those patients last night with the tragic medical condition where his penis really hurts and needs urgent examination but only when a female caregiver enters the room. This is a known thing with this guy. He has a cognitive impairment that impairs his inhibitions, a sheepish kind of “fair enough” response to being told “we’re not doing that,” and a persistence in trying that is genuinely impressive. He told me he was worried about his penis within two minutes of meeting him and asked me to assess it. I did on account of him getting it out so quickly. It looked super normal, but in the name of due diligence, I told him I could get a male nurse to come examine it with me. He told me his penis felt better.
Anyway at the end of my shift, after a night of monitoring his GI bleed until he can get to surgery in the morning, his blood pressure is now waaaaaay down and his morning labs show his hematocrit and hemoglobin are only juuuust above the level where the results come in with two bold red exclamation points behind them. It’s a classic 6:30 am rapid response, complete with an order for a blood transfusion to start in the no man’s land of shift change. His numbers aren’t great, but he’s stable. I adjust the pulse ox on his finger to get a better read on his oxygen levels, and I go, “ooh man your hands are so cold. Do you feel cold?”
And he goes, “I don’t. Wait. I do. I feel cold in one spot.”
I ask, “where do you feel cold?” Some questions you know the answer to before you even ask. Anyway, would you believe it was his penis? But the thing is, there IS a potential medical crisis happening right now. We’re triaging it in the hopes it doesn’t become a crisis. I had this vision of a patient with a medical problem he isn’t able to articulate being continually blown off by staff who then dies of Penis Explosion. “My god, the signs were all there,” we would say to each other. “If only specifically female staff randomly answering his call light had examined his penis!”
So I snap my gloves on and am like, “alright. show me your penis.”
He’s happy to oblige. I give it a quick but thorough assessment. I’m checking shaft. I’m checking balls. I’m retracting foreskin. It’s all normal as hell. I tell him that. He goes, “but can you look?”
“I did look,” I said.
“Yeah but can you look with your hands?”
“A male nurse can.”
“That’s okay,” he said sadly. “You looked.”
I told this all to Cyrus this morning as we deadheaded our rose bushes. They said sagely, “The boy who cried penis.” It’s a toss up between that and “look at it with your hands” for the phrase of the night. Go ahead and title this post whichever you find more evocative.
why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic
He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.
Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.
And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?
Capitalism is disgusting.
Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj
What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.
Actually when I say “fuck all billionaires” I particularly mean Taylor “having my wedding in the middle of the busiest city in the world on the busiest weekend in the world in the part of the city the majority of commuters need to get through because fuck working people” Swift
fuck you if you like this dumb nepo baby white supremacist.
I think those fancomics where Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is transgender are cute and fun but I also think it's a deep misunderstanding of Calvin's character to think he would transition into a heterosexual normie who goes to her high school reunion. That girl would have neopronouns and fang implants
Adult Calvin is a tattoo artist named Panthera who is the bassist in a terrible metal band called Captain Napalm and Hobbes helps do faer E injections
I know it's like 2 weeks too late to change it but I'm so mad I didn't realize that the band would obviously be called "Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS". I walk the road of shame
awawwwawaaawa >///////<
Holy moly they're GOOD. The music is fucking FIRE, and the outfits??? They're all so PRETTY???
Does anybody know who these are??? Do they have albums!! 🤩🤩🤩
I was so curious that I had to go find this band. They're called Fortress Dwellers and they have a website with all of their socials!
They released an album too! I don't think this song is on it but the rest of their stuff is SO GOOD !!
Step into the fantasy world of Fortress Dwellers. A fantasy Renaissance musical collective blending epic original music, immersive performan
girls night
I wish my bloodstream was full of glowstick stuff so that someone could slap my ass so hard that I start glowing pink
Ya'll don't get it. I want someone to take me out in a miniskirt and no panties so that they can slap my ass so hard that my ass shines like the underglow of a shitty car
I JUST FUCKIMG. REMEMBERED. YOURE SUPPOSED TO SHAKE THEM AFTER YOU ACTIVATE IT.
IF SOMEONE SLAPPED MY ASS AND TOLD ME TO SHAKE IT SO EVERYONE COULD SEE IT GLOW ID FUCKING CUM
wait. brain blast incoming.

Adult restaurant/Play Place where you all play on the toys and jump around naked and have sex and all that fun stuff but if you dont want to you can sit and eat pizza and watch the other adults have sex and do fun things

Even if its a flop post you can at least pretend its a good post
i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.
past a certain note threshold on tumblr posts you unlock a bloodborne-esque insight and the strange lives of this site's users become visible to you
(x)
we fucking found them?
Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:
"Smooth edges of screen fonts"
My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.
Y'all.
I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.
Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:
Then you'll see this:
TURN IT ALL OFF.
I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.
My computer is so quiet and reasonably-temperatured now and I barely notice a difference in utility, why is windows like this
maybe I can even play computer games again
The second best thing you can do for a Win10 computer is turn off whatever unnecessary services it's decided it needs to run in the background always. Some services it does need, but others are useless. Here's an article that goes into step by steps.
10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.
Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")
The first best thing you can do for a Windows computer is install Linux Mint. But some of us do need a few pesky Windows-specific programs. Bleh. Still, if you're up for a project, you can have both (and it's awesome). Here's an article about setting up a dual boot Windows/Mint system.
you find yourself infront of 2 girlfriends one speaks only lies the other speaks only truth each one is guarding a door labeled julias room
they each will only answer 1 question
to girlfriend 1 i will ask the following. im thinking of starting a rivalry/nemesis thing and am working on some criteria or what would be compatible with both my style and schedule cause thats very important especially for a first public rivalesis these days especially with the internet being what it is these days. what is julias true weakness?
to girlfriend b. do elves need special pillows because of their ears like a slot or hole in them cause theyre in the way or sensitive or like a fluffy sock maybe?
Peanuts

I can do advisor possibly?
that or kidnapped princess. final offer
Ooo! I wanna be the kidnapped princess! I'm so good at draping myself across furniture forlornly >~<
wish literally any gay papers would talk about lil nas x cause every article is either written with contempt OR makes sweeping assumptions by only quoting the cops and blatantly lies about things they contradict in their own article. like how is there no coverage of support or efforts to keep an eye on his location?
shortest possible story is that he he got arrested and hospitalized after walking around outside at night, MAYBE having 'an episode', MAYBE he was drunk, maybe he was high, maybe he was just being loud, who knows. Dude was outside at night in boxers and cowboy boots and that's all he did to "invite" police interaction.
But cops claimed he assaulted them so he gets arrested. Then goes to the hospital. Then goes back into custody.
And then he's not heard of for a while, then days later says he's out and okay. But facing FELONY charges!
WHERE IS EVERYONE? Pinknews cunts? Them? OutMag? Hello??
Almost a year later, Lil Nas X is out of a mental health rehab program, looking good, saying he feels really good, and seems to be on the way up after all of this. I'm really happy for him. I hope he has good genuine support in his life through family, friends, and folks rooting on him that he can count on.
I am really disappointed but not surprised how quickly a lot of media support for him disappeared, especially queer papers. An interview from before the police incident really highlighted how many people wanted him to fail and wanted to see him fall, including certain pockets within communities that should have has his back.
Happy Happy Pride to Lil Nas X. I hope nothing but good things come his way.
