I recognize so many anime I've watched here omg! This edit is beautiful!

[briefpeachdinosaur]

Those are the typ of edits I love and yes it has always been about love because love is all around us and we all have love in us.

Everything is love and whenever you don't see it, It's cuz your looking away from it.

[erispenelopeandalittleviolet]

Love is everywhere, in everything and in everbody. We are made of Love itself, we are love in all it shapes and formes.

Many think love dosen't exist but that is just not true we are the manifestation of love itself.

We all have love inside us.

Try to look and appreciat it rather then looking away from it.

Remember how it started as 14 days?

[hardylettuce]

FUN FACT!

I was working as a contact tracer during the pandemic. I was in a supervisor position, so I'd be on calls with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), who would relay to us what the CDC's current guidance was. And when the 5 Day Isolation thing came out, all of us asked "but is it safe? Is there any guidance that suggests people are less likely to infect others?" Their answer was "no, but businesses need workers, and this is about people getting back to work faster."

I know a lot of people think that the 5 Day Isolation must have come about because of some new scientific discovery that 10 days was too long, or new strains don't last as long, and blatantly no. THIS DECISION WAS NEVER MADE TO KEEP YOU SAFE. THIS DECISION HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT MONEY.

I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, “WAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!” before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. I’m sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadn’t previously considered.

Sort of relatedly I once had professor who was deaf, but she had learned to read lips and speak so she could communicate easily with hearing people who didn’t know sign language. One day she had gotten off topic and was talking a little about her personal life, so that one of the students said “Oh, I know, I grew up in Brooklyn too.” 

She stared at him for a long time and then said “How do you know I’m from Brooklyn?”

And he said “You have a Brooklyn accent.”

She said “I do?” and the whole class nodded, and then she burst out laughing and said “I had no idea!  The school where I learned to speak was in Brooklyn.  I learned by moving my mouth and tongue the way my teachers did.  So I guess it makes sense that I have their accent, I just never thought about it.”

My moms a sign language interpreter, and she’s signed with people from all over the US. According to her, when she signs with people from the south they sign with a “drawl.” They have slower hand movements and exaggerate certain parts of the sign. People from the Midwest sign very fast and people from the south sign very slow.

So we were at a restaurant once and my mom started interpreting for someone who was trying to order and she was like “oh you’re from the south!”

And they were like “how did you know that?”

And she said “you sign with a drawl.” And they were really surprised that it came through that much.

It’s really interesting that even when not speaking verbally accents and heritage come through.

I’ve read that Agatha said she loved being married to an archaeologist because the older she got, the more interesting he found her. And I think that is one of the best quotes about love that I have ever heard.

bumbleby stans! in the tags. tell me when did you start shipping bumbleby, how old were you, and did you think it was gonna happen at the time?

i'll start; for me it was some time after watching volume 1, i was 12, i saw fanart of them and was sold because looking back on their interactions it just made sense. i did not think it would happen, in fact i thought WR had more chances! what about u?

Too many of you conceptualize trans men as having access to all the advantages of cis womanhood and cis manhood combined, when the reality is that most of us just see the disadvantages of failed manhood and failed womanhood combined

[doberbutts]

All trans people are Schroedinger's Gender. You are simultaneously both and also neither male and female, man and woman, depending on what they feel would hurt you most at the time. This can change day to day, hour to hour, even minute to minute.

Examples:

Trans woman who is told she can't change her gender marker on her ID, takes off her shirt in a parking lot to change and is arrested for public indecency for her female-presenting nipple exposure, and is currently housed in a men's prison. What gender is she? The gender that hurts her the most at the time. Both and yet neither. Because fuck you that's why.

Trans man who requests to compete in boys' wrestling, forced to compete with the girls instead. Punished for "flashing" his bottom growth while taking a shower in the locker room. School's parents want him kicked out of sports because he keeps winning by a *lot* when he wrestles the girls, saying it's not fair to make the girls compete in strength with his testosterone. During yet another meeting where he requests to wrestle the boys, he's yet again denied *despite this* because he's a girl. Eventually beaten up by the boys at school mad that he's thrashing their girlfriends. Boys justify it by saying it's okay to hit him because he's not "really" a girl. What gender is he? Whatever gender he can be punished with at the time. Both and yet neither. Because fuck you that's why.

I didn't pull these out of my head. They're real people, real transgender stories I've been told either through news or firsthand accounts.

"there is no racism in MY european country 😌❤️" ok so when I go and look into how your country handles immigration, in particular migrants who come from the global south and aren't white, and also take a quick look at the experiences of people of colour in your country and my own being born and growing up in a european country I better see nothing but sunshine and rainbows

only ppl on this post who matter r the ppl who r saying "me except im not a girl anymore" & "me except i wasnt a girl yet"

[bananonbinary]

the thing about f1nn5ter for me is like, it really highlights how much "clocking" someone is complete bullshit, because here's a cis dude who 100% can "pass" as a cis woman just with some makeup and padding. which makes me seethe with rage every time i think about depictions of trans people as someone wearing an ill-fitting costume, because here's someone who actually IS wearing a costume and he's frequently confused for a girl. like i know trans people have been saying for ages that these bullshit ways of "proving" someone is one or the other are in fact nonsense, but its nice to see someone else joyfully engaging with gender like its just a big stupid game. girl month. who cares.

Excellent, couldn't have said it better myself

I love that phenomenon where ur talking to another neurodivergent person for the first time and u haven’t quite grocked their flavor of brain yet and they haven’t grocked yours and you’re both using your Acceptable Friendly Person Getting To Know You Script on each other but of course those scripts have been calibrated mainly for use with, like, normal people, so you just end up being like two conversational roombas bonking gently off one another like “hello fellow human” “hello fellow ‘hello fellow human’” until you both at some point manage to adjust your programming and actually like, communicate

It’s like when I was a kid I had two furbies and when you put them next to each other they’d just natter nonsensically past one another for a bit and then at some point one would abruptly recognize the other with its furby sensor or w/e and it would shout “DANCE!” and the other one would flap its ears and reply “HEY, DANCE” and then, in perfect unison, they would begin to rock back and forth while chanting “doot doot doo doot doot doo”

It’s exactly like that. I love it. Crazy people are the best, we are super excellent, i love us, i love crazy ppl

I wrote this post in my head while having a major dissociative episode in the bathroom and its the best and truest thing Ive ever said

[rubixpsyche]

Besties I think yall need to use your brain a little and realize your haughty lil "I always knew" comments about Ned Fulmer also implies you were smarter, more observant than his own wife. And that's a dick move. It was always a unknown. You are all literally strangers. No small act or behaviour is a surefire way of 'tipping you off' because somewhere else in the world some dude acts a similar way and is a perfectly loyal guy. You didn't see it coming. There was always a chance you were wrong. I know you didn't mean it like that but fact remains, you can't confidently say that shit because we both know you could have been wrong.

People are already feeling pretty shit about themselves right now, you can keep clowning on the man (do it) but like stop treating yourself like hot shit

Why was their apology better than half of the apologies some influencers put out and it wasn’t even for something they did.
