Hey guys.
So a couple weeks ago I came to the realization that I am transgender. Could you guys please use he/him pronouns when referring to me?

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.
USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.
This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:
ActionAid India
SEEDS India
GlobalGiving
Raise India (Project Tapan)
This is the best ad for Project Hail Mary I have ever seen. Like if I was on the fence about watching or reading it, this would convince me to do so.
Talking to friends about this review and the thing is THE THING IS that to have made this review the person seems to have somehow managed to both sit through the whole film and spot a couple of minor details (the hermaphrodite thing is only in the BOOK!) AND miss multiple key plot points (like the fact that he very much DID NOT CHOOSE to go). Like
This is a fascinating level of haterism

Reblogging again because: whats wrong with this person lmao how media defunct and picky do you have to be to get pissed if your main character isnt a flawless perfect hero? If you want the same cardboard cutout of a charicature of a masculine hero go watch 80s animated series meant to sell toys.
And about the asexual part: if you are so pissed that a movie doesnt include romance, then stop readng movies of any genre that isnt romance. But then you'd get pissed at me because you dont want to get called a romance-lover because thats "a womanly thing" right? God this review has layers of dickness.
So this is not a plea for money. This is something that surprised me, and chatting with people on discord, they were unaware of as well.
Discovered last year I couldn’t look at my 2015 MacBook Air without it triggering nausea and migraines, and figured the screen died. Have been getting by on my phone, but concluded I really need a laptop again.
Saved up, realised I could afford a brand new MacBook Neo, and got one.
-And I couldn’t spend more than five minutes looking at the screen without massive eye strain, nausea, vertigo, and if I pushed it, I-need-to-lie-down-in-a-dark-room-for-hours migraines.
Looking up MacBook and Eyestrain explained what is going on. The liquid retina displays that Apple currently has uses Pulse Width Modulation or PWM. In order to give the screens a deeper depth of colour and contrast, PWM flickers between several hundred to thousand times a second.
And there is currently no way to turn it off. There are settings and apps to reduce it, but there is no way to stop the screen from flickering. Checked Apple forums, called Apple Support, and the time I could look at the screen kept shrinking. Got the laptop Tuesday, returned it Friday, today is Sunday and I’m still dealing with a vertigo migraine.
For MacBooks, it seems to vary on the computer model and the software it uses. In retrospect, the issue with my MacBook Air started after a major software update.
And it’s not just an Apple thing. Current Windows and Android screens do the same thing. There’s even a Reddit for people who are sensitive to PWM flickers to help find computers and screens that won’t trigger eyestrain and headaches.
So, yeah. This week has been a learning experience. But for those who are prone to headaches and migraines, this may be something to be aware of, cause I was not.
Oh, this definitely belongs on Tumblr.
From the Nib, by Mattie Lubchansky
ok so
everyone knows about this meme, right?
but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!
This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.
She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:
He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.
Look how happy she was to hear that!!!
anyways, I hope she has been able to continue her love for baking since the restaurant closed down.
For these who don’t know: The restaurant she worked at closed down but she left before that and opened her own bakery, that’s apparently very successful!
when I was like 15 we went to Rome and my mum unwittingly piled us into one of those fake scam taxis that was basically a mob car with “definitely a 100% genuine taxi” taped to the window.
anyway I have no regrets bc he drove us around at like 1000 kmph blasting some italian classical music station through pimp my ride subwoofers, blew every traffic light, and at one point stopped in the middle of a ring road intersection to get out and cross 3 lanes of traffic and have a fist fight with what I can only assume was a rival fake taxi driver. he tried to overcharge us but my mum was like ‘no I looked up the journey prices before I got here’ and he was like lol fair enough have a nice trip and rocketed off into the night
this is why I will never support lyft or uber

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.
post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats
At minimum about 4.5 thousand people liked this without reblogging it.
We gotta fix that.
I know everybodys talking about the article but its this tweet itself that makes me lose my shit
tinder link in bio.
the replies:
*tapes scissors to my dick* why won’t anyone fuck me, edward scissordick?
I’m sobbing
I love going trough the notes every time bc there’s always someone in the notes insisting we’re all mean and that you can just wear thick dish gloves over your fake nails as if I wouldn’t assume you’re going to Patrick Bateman my ass if you walked into the bedroom with claws and yellow rubber gloves
her pussy
OUTTA MY WAY IM BOUT TO GE- ouchie. Ouch. Ouchie.
get back here and share that with the class
I am going to pause and point out that the assumption that gloves are a bad thing is not good, and the safe sex campaigners of the 80s and 90s are crying. “No glove, no love” isn’t just a euphemism referring to condoms, it does also literally mean gloves!
“Safe sex” includes fingering, my friends! While it is lower-risk, it isn’t zero-risk, and gloves should not be stigmatized.
Okay, that’s all, let’s go back to making fun of this woman’s Kreuger Kitty Killers.
I would definitely consider “are gloves a good safe sex precaution” and “would gloves capable of containing these claws without puncturing be an improvement in the bedroom” to be wholly different questions.
If you’re gonna wear dish gloves to finger someone instead of something that’s actually approved for being in a human body while alive, you deserve to get kicked in the face because those shits are not made for that and are the absolute WRONG TEXTURE AND COMPOSITION to be inside of a body! Use protection, yes, but fucking stop trying to insist that you can use the wrong protection for the job. We have body-safe options for using during sex for a fucking reason. Use those options. That is why they exist. That is all. Don’t fucking come at me with some goofy ass bullshit about “back in ye olden days they used”, either, because “back in ye olden days”, otherwise intelligent people thought you could literally “catch the queer”, but science has evolved since then.
Now back to making fun of Jackass the Coochieripper.
Lick it, stick it, you’re not going to flick it
No toy, no joy
Whatever I don’t do sex, but dear god what the hell is wrong with you that you think anyone would want those in them? Stigma? Really? Thought this was going to be about who can and can’t have fake nails not who wouldn’t want to be torn to shreds.
Also this is the first time I’m actually learning tips on safe sex not involving dicks so thank you for that!
Reblog if you think the person you reblogged this from deserves to be happy.
DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY
I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.
I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.
Do not give to the Salvation Army.
Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army
My turn.
I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.
I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.
I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.
They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.
Then I found out.
Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.
Don’t FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.
Unsettling update
Find better local charities and shelters and give to them instead!
Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?
Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.
They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.
And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:
And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that
So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad
The “Fuck Salvation Army” posts are making the rounds again, so conisder this your reminder: Do. Not. Give. These. Assholes. A. Single. Fucking. Penny.
Do not support them in any way, shape, or form.
‘Tis the season to say FUCK the Salvation Army.
If you see the timestamp and think ‘maybe the Salvos got better in the last 8 years’ no. No they didn’t. Actually they got worse. DON’T GIVE TO THE SALVOS. THEYPISS ALL THEIR MONEY UP THE WALL ON THE CORPORATE END AND DO LITTLE TO NOTHING TO HELP WHO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP.
i know a lot of people who donate regularly to these people and they don’t believe me about this so maybe you can find someone who will
today I was wearing my “yes homo” shirt and some lady told me “you’re going to hell” and I said “with you around it’s like we’re already there” and I swear she made this exact fkn face
I cannot believe this post I made in 2015 is still going around…. anyway plot twist this same lady got famous on my town’s facebook gossip group for divorcing her husband for a woman 💅🏻✨ I like to believe my yes homo shirt pointed her in the right direction
reblog to boop prev
incredible stuff happening out there
do not let tumblr staff see this or they are going to try to push this in an update 🙄
I grew up with Harry Potter. The first movie came out when I was in the third movie, and I was (of course) a Cedric Diggory truther, my first OC was Hermione's sister (lol), and I distinctly remember getting into sophomore year in high school and reading the 6th book and going "huh." and then never picking it up again. I realized at ~14-15 years old that I was already a better writer than Joanne so when ppl are still into it it's like goddamn
