This is very vivid. Did this guy actually have an affair with Chris Evans?

“Douglas Adams was asked many times why he chose the number 42. Many theories were proposed, including that 42 is 101010 in binary code, that light refracts off water by 42 degrees to create a rainbow, that light requires 10−42 seconds to cross the diameter of a proton.[7] Adams rejected them all. On 3 November 1993, he gave an answer[8] on alt.fan.douglas-adams:

‘The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought ‘42 will do’. I typed it out. End of story.’

Adams described his choice as ‘a completely ordinary number, a number not just divisible by two but also six and seven. In fact it’s the sort of number that you could without any fear introduce to your parents’.” - source

LIKE there’s this whole thing in this book about how your brain grows stronger and healthier by practicing responding to stress in healthy ways, because if a stressor is predictable and you feel a sense of control over it, you habituate and stop reacting to it, but if it’s random and unpredictable you have the opposite response and become sensitized, so your reaction actually gets more and more extreme. (if you hear a loud noise at predictable intervals you’ll soon stop noticing or reacting, but if you hear it at random intervals you’ll become sensitive to it and anxious.) so one way to help people who have adverse reactions to reminders of trauma is to give them control over how they’re reminded of the trauma, because it helps the brain practice responding to stress in a safe way so you can habituate to the stress response.

which is why if someone tags something for a trigger and you still choose to look, it’s actually an act of healthy resistance against your reaction to that trigger (because it teaches your brain to habituate), but encountering something triggering in a random and unpredictable way actually increases your stress response and makes you more sensitive to the trigger. so people who are against trigger warnings because “you have to learn to cope” are actually taking away your tools for learning to cope, because encountering stressors in a way that further strips you of control over your trauma is never, ever helpful. it’s a lot of stuff i kind of knew but integrated and explained with more context and science

The other woman in this photo is Chavela Vargas, an influential ranchera singer-songwriter. Though she didn’t “officially” come out as a lesbian until late in life, she was well-known for dressing in men’s clothing and not changing lyrics/pronouns when performing songs traditionally sung by men. She and Frida are alleged to have had a relationship. 

[tejuina]

chavela actually did talk about her relationship with frida very explicitly! she even lived in frida’s house for an extended period of time. here’s some things they said/wrote about each other:

chavela: “frida loved me. it’s a shame I burned a letter she wrote where she said, ‘I live for you and diego only.’ it was a beautiful love. she used to say, ‘I birthed you. I had you.’ and I told her, ‘yes, I feel your blood in mine.’ she gave birth to me. I admired her deeply, but I loved her more than I admired her paintings. she had her black mustache. it was thick, thick black hair. I loved seeing her eyebrows and her mustache. and she loved her mustache.” (x)

frida: “carlos [pellicer], I met chavela vargas today. an extraordinary, lesbian woman. in fact, I took a liking to her erotically. I don’t know if she felt what I did, but I think she is a very liberal woman, and if she asked, I would not hesitate a second before undressing in front of her. how often do we not just want a good lay? she is, I repeat, erotic. is she perhaps a gift sent to me from heaven?” (x)

the hag in folklore actually is symbolic of men being afraid that when women get older we’ll realize how shit they really are and eat them which is fair and they should be

As much as I appreciate the creepy atmospheric supernatural use of the concept of “liminal space”, I don’t want people to forget that liminality is an actual anthropological term used to describe states of personal and social transition, as in rites of passage, or the state of being somehow between sanctioned identities, ex. immigrants, LGBTQ people, mixed race/ethnicity people.

[sidneyia-deactivated20210826]

that’s not the only acceptable usage of the term, though. liminality is also a storytelling term and it’s being used correctly in those liminal space posts.

[glumshoe]

I’m not saying people are misusing it. I’m saying that the original meaning of the term originates in the social sciences. If your only exposure to the term is via fiction or “this is a good location to cast spells”, which is the only context I ever see it used on Tumblr (despite heavy discussion of sociological and anthropological topics), you’re going to be awfully confused when you read about teenagers and undocumented immigrants and unsentenced suspects and LGBTQ people occupying a liminal place. They’re not in an abandoned bus station or on the threshold of Elfhame, they’re straddling or stuck between identities/social roles in ways that make them vulnerable and poorly-defined.

I think the trouble is people taking “liminal space” to mean only a literal physical location. That’s fun and all, but even in folklore it’s got a lot more meanings than that.

Articles I can use against truscum

[queercoded-villain]

I have got your back. Here are those damn sources

There is not enough difference in male or female brains to tell them apart

A gender-neutral pronouns other that they/them has existed since 1858, thon 

There are more than 2 genders (tons of sources in the description that if i tried to write them all here i would die of age)

“””Transtrenders””” aren’t actually transitioning and then regretting: 1  2  3 4  5 

Biological binary sex isn’t a thing: 1 2 3 4

in the wikipedia page for social construct of gender category sex and sex category the sources are 7 27 28 

He indeed is

Being trans is not a mental illness/ you don’t need dysphoria to be trans: 1  2  3  4 5 6 7 (this one is massive)  8 (also if you want a living example of a cis person with dysphoria search godflex here on tumblr, careful it’s nsfw)

From here

This might be updated in the future

You ever sit back and think about the global influence of black american culture? Like there aren’t many places you can go that doesn’t have a thriving hip-hop culture or use slang developed by black americans and yet still everybody hates black people
