How do you know you're not Asexual? Maybe you just haven't met the right nobody.

PARENT: I got "rubber duck" for my child's "bath" and she loves it.

AUTISM RESPONSE: Rubber ducks and other rubber bath toys can accumulate mold on the inside because of small holes underneath where moisture becomes trapped. The mold often goes unnoticed because it's not visible from the outside.

CORRECT RESPONSE(?): That's nice, I am unaware of how mold could impact this situation.

im just so happy i live in a time period where actual meaningful biological transition is possible. even if we lose rights or the ability to exist in public, nothing can turn back the clock on that, and just by having any sort of access to that our lives are made immensely better. millions of our sisters throughout history would never have dreamed of a day where they could have what HRT does for us.

please don't lose the plot of this. if you're a trans person on HRT you're a living miracle, the dream of hundreds of millions of your ancestors. your lives are all deeply meaningful no matter what anyone says.

Cursed be the one who announced to my father: “It’s a boy!"... ...How could he twist the course of the stars so much? How could he have erred so in his astrology? A lying tongue, a fool’s mouth it had given him For he foolishly transformed justice to poison He altered the law and transposed the lines

Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.

I think I'm gonna go lay down for a little while.

lvl 1: the plural of octopus is octopuses because the plural version of a word is the word with an s at the end

lvl 2: the plural version of octopus is octopi because if a word ends with "us" the plural version replaces the "us" with "i" e.g. cactus -> cacti and fungus -> fungi

lvl 3: actually, that rule is only for latin words. octopus is a greek word and the correct plural is octopuses or octopodes

lvl 4: actually, language is descriptive not prescriptive. since enough people over time have used octopi as the plural for octopus, it's a valid plural

lvl 5: the plural of octopus is octopeese, like geese

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Lvl 6: My Marine Biology professor told me it was technically “Octopods” to bring it in line with “Cephalopod,” but that if the class is falling asleep you can call them “Octopussies”

i was into the words bindle and oubliette before all you guys were (wonders if that's a weird thing to develop a superiority complex about) no. this is good and right

[tlirsgender]

As a principled feminist I'm often tempted to say shit like "are men capable of higher thought" but then I have to remember not to perpetuate gender essentialism and change it to "why do men choose not to think about anything"

[rathayibacter]

sometimes artists worry if their art is actually capable of making the world a better place, or if its all just wasted effort. what you need to remember is: all art is evil, and the sole aspiration of the artist should be to maim as many onlookers as possible.

I think one of the best things The Masquerade does is how it, rather than completely disengaging with any sort of gender politics or at least diminishing them to allow its female character mobility across what are or have been considered in the past, masculine domains, approaches and repurposes real world gender politics in this fictional world with different understandings of gender. The Falcresti domains of gender and how they’re influenced by Incrasticism. The matriarchal structure of the navy. The Stakhi construct where gendered role is dependent on how one adheres to a gendered sphere. how Baru’s own gender is mutable, taking different meanings and implications depending on the context she is currently residing within. As a Falcresti agent and product, a lot of who she is, is shaped within that structure; her presentation and role is socially feminine, she keeps her appearance relatively plain and is someone who works behind the scenes in logistics. But her identity as a lesbian and a Taranoki woman complicates this, and the role of Incrasticism, which dictates her as needing to overcome ‘the deficiencies of her race’, which assigns her as a ‘sexually provocative, excessive and indulgent’, and means there’s this constant sexually charged threat of violence in her periphery, that sexually corrective therapy, to break her down and reconstruct her. This isn’t conclusive and I’m not quite sure where I’m going with it, but it’s so fascinating.
