If King Charles dies on or before March 25th, 2024, he will technically be the shortest-reigning king in English history.

Anyway, like to charge, reblog to cast.

The people who police your gender will police your gender even if you're cis.

Eat them.

[libraford]

"OH those body builder women with pancake breasts arent-" eat them.

"This woman has a beard, thats not-" eat them.

"That man has a baby face, that's not" - eat them with barbecue sauce.

Eat them. You will never be gender enough for their definition of gender. Eat them.

Some of y'all will post "be gay do crime" and then clutch your pearls the second someone does drugs or shoplifts. Fuckin' posers.

[catgirlanarchist]

the most annoying response to this kind of (true and relevant) post is when people say that "be gay do crime" only refers to the fact that being gay has been/still is criminalized and isn't condoning other crimes

if you're gay and can recognize that state enforced homophobia is stupid and immoral then you should be able to recognize that most other laws are stupid and immoral as well.

[clarificationsw]

I feel like so many people(and liberals) get hung up on the fact that law≠morality, that most who have their lives ruined by the police are literally doing nothing wrong.

Dual wielding in real combat is pretty impractical outside of idk sword dancing to intimidate people I guess but if you must, lightweight sword in one hand, dagger in the other.

[vineee2000]

As a sword nerd, forgive my interjection, but I have info to dump:

Firstly, small point, is that "sword + dagger" isn't simply a matter of "if you must", it's pretty darn effective. Nor does the sword have to be particularly lightweight - the rapier is one of the heaviest one-handed swords by weight, and rapier + dagger was quite a widespread way to use that weapon in, for example, Renaissance Italy.

Secondly, and more curiosly, we do actually see historical examples of people dual wielding full sized swords - and even writing fencing treatises about how to do it. It wasn't much more effective than sword + dagger best I can tell, while being harder to learn and less convenient (try carrying 2 swords around), but it was a thing, not just pure fiction

Thirdly, not really a contradiction, just a note: if you were to use two swords in a real fight, you wouldn't want to use two of them for one block or one attack like it's portrayed in fiction. You want to do two different things with each sword, that's your whole advantage. Blocking with one sword while attacking with the other at the same beat is a prime example.

with my nakba posts, here's some website recommendations if you want to learn on the history of specific depopulated palestinian areas:

palestine remembered is probably the most famous and comprehensive website with full documentations of former locations and depopulated villages. it also lists information on palestinian refugee camps, guestbooks, and the ability to upload pictures. information on each village varies.

zochrot is an organization dedicated to teaching both palestinians and israelis about the 1948 nakba (which is not covered well if at all in israeli schools, as you can probably imagine), which includes documenting information on villages and even an app. information on each village varies.

the interactive encyclopedia for the palestinian question's places page has some detailed histories and a map as well, but doesn't go into the detail of the last two sites, and doesn't have pictures or sources.

many villages also have their own websites, and many of them are also in english (for example, the one i linked for kafr bir'im). honestly just look up (village name) + website and if it's there you'll find it.

wikipedia also has surprisingly comprehensive coverage of the villages, the articles include a little more of the "war" background than the other websites do.

all that remains: the palestinian villages occupied and depopulated by israel in 1948 is a famous book by palestinian historian walid khalidi which gives a detailed account of what became of 400 different depopulated palestinian villages. it was released in 1992, so it's not current, but many of the things he wrote still hold.

Here's your reminder that AFAB doesn't mean that person has breasts and a vagina. That AMAB doesn't mean that person has a flat chest and a dick.

AFAB PEOPLE CAN HAVE DICKS.

AFAB PEOPLE CAN HAVE FLAT CHESTS.

AFAB PEOPLE CAN HAVE BEARDS.

AFAB PEOPLE CAN HAVE DEEP VOICES

AMAB PEOPLE CAN HAVE TITS

AMAB PEOPLE CAN HAVE PUSSIES

AMAB PEOPLE CAN HAVE CURVES

AMAB PEOPLE CAN HAVE HIGH-PITCHED VOICES

Don't let AMAB and AFAB become the progressive binary
