im sure theres a word denoting the divide btwn what you believe as a citizen of civic society and what you believe as an animal with anger synapses. as a civic citizen i do not believe in the death penalty nor do i think anyone deserves to die for being stupid on twitter. as an ape,
I feel like making this distinction would also help with venting. "I acknowledge my feelings are irrational and primitive, and would never wish death on another human being. That being said, the asshole who slammed a door in my face deserves to be eaten alive by ants."

being transfem is trying to take younger transfems and drag them kicking and screaming out of the tar pit until they learn to love themselves and stop being bitter over what they dont have
it gets better. it fucking gets better i promise. unfortunately you cant wait until youve gotten every surgery youve ever wanted and been on hrt for 10 years to start loving yourself. you have to do it now. i know you dont feel like you deserve it and youre fucking angry and you want all the pain of existing as you are to just go away. but youve gotta look at yourself every day and say "im beautiful as i am right now". when people give you compliments you say "yea i am cute!" instead of no u or whatever deflection youve hardcoded into your brain. happiness is attainable but you have to grab it and hold on as hard as you can because the world would rather rip you away from it and kill you.
gsuuddhhdhhhh

The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.
Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize. So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.
But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.
So a Barbie in a big hat themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.
Like I wouldn’t buy the fuck out of stagecoach transformers

artist tips
don’t save as jpeg
as a former yearbook editor and designer, let me explain this further
if youre only planning on posting your art online, them please save it as .png ;this is also better for transparencies as well
BUT
please, if youre planning of printing your art, NEVER use png. it makes the quality of the image pretty shitty. use jpeg or pdf instead. and always set your work at 300dpi to get a better printing quality - this means, the images are crisper and sharper and theres no slight blurriness. i had a talk with my friend who is currently taking design, and pdf is much better to use when youre working with a bigger publishing company because it still has the layers intact, but if youre only planning on printing your stuff at staples or at some small publishing store, the jpeg is the way to go.
this has been a public service announcement
Want a good picture to save as? PNG
Want a good printed picture? JPEG
TIL that the English word “Lord” in the sense of the head of an estate comes from an Old English word of Germanic origins, hlāfweard, later hlāford, later lord.
Normally I wouldn’t remark on my romps through etymology, but “hlafweard” is a compound of hlaf, or loaf, and weard, which means guardian (see also Ward or Warden, etc). Meaning that when you call someone a lord you are calling him an esteemed keeper of the bread.
HEY THERE BREADBOX PETER WIMSEY. LOAF GUARD PALPATINE. BREAD CLIP VETINARI.
Lady also derives from hlaf, but in this case hlafdige or bread kneader. She makes the bread, he monitors it. Women have to do all the work as usual.
Now, the reason I was looking this up was that I wanted to develop a gender-neutral analogue to lord/lady; there are analogues already out there naturally, but the Shivadh must be different and anyway I didn’t like the ones I’d seen suggested online.
Given that the origins of Lord and Lady aren’t all that strongly gendered anyway (they’re about what the person does, not what their gender is), I decided that if a woman is a bread-kneader and a man is a bread-guarder, a nonbinary person should be A BREAD EATER, which would be Hlafetan.
Thus I present to you the gender-neutral analogue to Lord or Lady: Ledan.
wait is this where Tolkien got the Elf Genders thing?
(for context, Laws and Customs Among the Eldar says that only female elves can make bread, and that’s how elves distinguish gender)
I have no idea, but I would imagine it’s extremely possible, given how passionate he was about early English dialects.
But I have a question right back for you: When you say “only female elves can make bread” in the canon, do you mean that in universe only female elves were permitted to make bread, or only female elves could, physically, make bread, like a male elf wouldn’t be able to even if he wanted to? Because either one has fascinating implications….
I imagine, given the comment about elves having no other gender distinguishers, that it is neither
Rather, elf genders are “bread-maker” and “non-bread-maker” and people who aren’t elves just equated them to female and male
Making bread is what makes you female as an elf, and not doing so is what makes you male, and there is no other way to be either of these things
Bread comes first, gender comes as a result of the bread

the queen of Oz is a trans lesbian and she’s dating Dorothy
reminder that Ozma and Dorothy were Special Good Bedroom Friends
You mean she was a… friend of Dorothy?
this illustration from The Road To Oz has already shown up in the notes but i dug out my copy to take this photo and i feel like i have to share that yes this is in a physical book i owned and read as a child:
(dorothy left, ozma right)
Apparently, she’s also a socialist queen
