Hi. I’m a trial attorney now and every last one of you is a motherfucker.

[chthonicgodling]

but seriously though i’m sick and tired of those masterposts that are like “here! A reference site on Greek mythology for all your needs! Look it has all fifteen Greek gods on it!” And I’m like. tHERE WERE LIKE HUNDREDS OF FIGURES IN MYTHOLOGY YOUR CRAPPY HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL BIBLIOGRAPHY SITE MEANS NOTHING TO ME 

if you want a basic outline of Greek mythology okay sure fine??? but like. if you want an extensive fucking reference site you are looking in the wrong goddamn places

as a self-declared greek mythology snob my reference site is fucking always this fucker right here. almost every single figure ever mentioned in a Greek text is on it, it has the most obscure gods, spirits, nymphs– it’s GREAT. You really wanna extend your mythological knowledge past the basic 12 and like four others? USE THEOI.  plus plus PLUS everything is cited so you can actually read the source material written about whoever it is you’re looking at.

fucking signal boost this. i’m so sick and tired of writer’s helpers blogs referring people to sites with as much information you would get from opening a third grade mythology book jesus chriiiiiist

“You think every citizen should have access to free and accessible healthcare?”

Wrong!!!

I think that Asylum seekers and Migrant workers and The Undocumented and Everyone Else should get free healthcare too

I love immigration

In case anyone's been wondering where I've been, I've been very quickly learning how to be an investigative reporter vis a vis my doctor making an attempt on my life, intimidating me, attempting to force me out of the practice, and lying about me to other medical professionals in order to avoid raising my HRT dose

[dumbass-transboy]

My dose was kept at a level unsustainable for my long-term health, which also caused massive short-term health effects. My gynecologist told me that all I needed to do to stop the effects were to raise my dose, so I asked my provider and she refused. She performed my bloodwork, described a level of 336 ng/dl at peak as “looking good,” then refused to raise my dose. She then lied about this and claimed to be completely amenable to raising my dose when pressed by another doctor. I have paper evidence of this, and I am fighting as hard as I can to have her license revoked because she genuinely tried to kill me.

Our most recent appointment? I confronted her not only about microdosing me without my knowledge or consent, but also doing the same to many trans patients over the years. Her response? Accusing me of hysteria and having my university health center call a wellness check on me.

I raised my dose just one step up on my own and guess what? The symptoms stopped completely within 3 days.

[dumbass-transboy]

People are allowed to reblog this, by the way. This is a blatant example of medical transandrophobia and I have put my story out to be shared to warn people of what this looks like.

[dumbass-transboy]

Update: my new provider is forcing me to reuse single-use vials, only giving me a one month supply for three months. Her reasoning is “it’s fine, I’ve never had a problem prescribing it.” She has upped my dose but not my prescription, so I do not have enough to make it through three months. She has openly told me that she will not remedy this.

Honestly, I don’t know what to do about this one. This is one of the only ways I can afford HRT, but I can’t keep going like this.

'I thought I was bleeding to death' -- intersex life in Kenya

She was intersex and raised as a boy for most of her life in Kenya. Then the bleeding started.

When 18-year-old Roberto first experienced menstruation, she was terrified. Born intersex and raised as a boy, she had never been taught about periods, let alone how to manage one. Before that terrifying day, Roberto had spent her entire life in a quiet village in Kisii County. Her parents never disclosed anything about her intersex identity, partly because they did not fully understand it themselves, and partly due to the stigma surrounding differences in sex development. Roberto grew up playing football with boys, dressing like them, and following all the expectations of male childhood. Yet, as she entered adolescence, she began noticing subtle changes in her body that did not match those of her peers. She occasionally experienced discomfort, mood shifts, and physical traits she could not explain. With no information about intersex bodies or reproductive health, she simply brushed these feelings aside. Conversations about menstruation were reserved for girls, leaving Roberto completely unprepared for what was coming. “I thought I was bleeding to death, but I could not tell anyone, not even my mother,” she recalls. “I used an old T-shirt and hid it under my mattress.” It was only years later, after meeting a community health volunteer who worked with intersex and gender-diverse youth, that Roberto finally shared her experience. The volunteer explained what it meant to be intersex, helped her understand her body, and connected her to a safe support group. Through these conversations, Roberto slowly began embracing an identity that felt more aligned with who she truly was. She chose to use she/her pronouns because it was the first time she felt seen, understood, and comfortable in her own skin. “It felt like breathing freely for the first time,” she says. “Like I could finally be myself without fear.”

The hidden reality of intersex menstruators

Roberto’s experience reveals a little-known truth: intersex individuals who menstruate are often invisible in menstrual health policies, education, and aid programmes. While Kenya, and Africa more broadly, has made progress in addressing period poverty among girls and women, intersex people are left behind, navigating their cycles in silence and shame. When 23-year-old John first experienced menstruation, it was not a typical “coming-of-age” moment. Instead, it became a confusing and isolating chapter defined by stigma and secrecy. Growing up in South Nyanza, John lived in a household and a wider community that neither understood nor accepted their identity, let alone their menstrual health needs. “I bled in silence for years, and yet I could not talk to anyone,” they recount. “My mother kept asking why I was not ‘normal’, but I was too scared to explain something I did not even fully understand myself.” Intersex persons like Roberto and John are often excluded from the conversation about menstruation. “This is despite the fact that they suffer in silence,” says Margret Mogaka, a reproductive health advocate at the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital (KTRH). Although the Kenyan government launched the Menstrual Hygiene Management Policy in 2019 to promote menstrual equity, intersex individuals are not included. “Menstruation is still framed as a female-only issue,” says Mogaka. “This excludes not only trans men but also intersex people, many of whom menstruate and need the same support.” She adds that many public schools, clinics, and community programmes assume only girls need menstrual products or information. “This makes it nearly impossible for intersex menstruators to access sanitary pads or counseling without facing ridicule.” [...]

Some quick resources I found for those who may be unfamiliar with the concept of period poverty and its impacts:

Period Poverty - Why millions of girls and women cannot afford their periods

On Ending Period Poverty for Trans, Non-binary, Gender Fluid & Intersex People

Glossary for the Global Menstrual Movement

TL;DR - For people who menstruate, the inability to access menstrual education, hygiene, and care is a significant contributor to education loss and poverty. Even if one wishes to discount the severe harm to one's physical and psychological wellbeing that a lack of access can cause, this is a problem that can and does also perpetuate cycles of poverty and abuse.

And all of what I stated above is true even when the person in question doesn't also have to face the additional barriers to access caused by intersexism in particular, as well as by transphobia and exorsexism - barriers which, as OP explained, can bar these individuals from even aid intended to help alleviate period poverty.

So! I have most of the next part completed, but in the meantime!

Here’s my team card for ArtFight this year! All of BriarClan is included, but I have a lot of fondness for LionRipple and GlowPaw so I decided to add them as the featured characters. I didn’t have time to make any new drawings like I did last year, but I like my older art anyways. If you know about my other clan that I’ve been posting, @ridgeclan-a-mega-clan, all characters posted there are also included on my profile :)

A little hint, I prioritize revenges against attacks on characters that don’t have more than 2 attacks. So. Most of them really.

You don't have a male or female brain – the more brains scientists study, the weaker the evidence for sex differences

Rather than distinctly male or female, the human brain is much more like the heart, kidneys and lungs – basically the same no matter the sex of the body it's in.

“This collapse is a telltale sign of a problem known as publication bias. Small, early studies which found a significant sex difference were likelier to get published than research finding no male-female brain difference.”

[mckitterick]

the notes on this are toxic - to help clear up any misunderstanding, here’s the actual science paper:

Dump the “dimorphism”: Comprehensive synthesis of human brain studies reveals few male-female differences beyond size

With the explosion of neuroimaging, differences between male and female brains have been exhaustively analyzed. Here we synthesize three dec

real talk tho ive seen ppl talk abt how long hair on men isn't intrinsically feminine & assuming so is racist can we get the same convo going for Black women w short hair can we start talking abt how short hair isn't intrinsically masculine or is that a step too far

[uncleromeo]

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
