Merpshire's Thoughts on Things

My name is Merpshire and this blog is a collection of things I personally find interesting on Tumblr. Usual kinds of posts include funny memes, comic/tv show commentary, or political opinions I agree with. Your mileage with this blog will vary depending on when you're browsing.

At Toba aquarium in Japan, after closing time, some clever little otter pups help their grandpa tidy up their toys. As a reward, he gives them ice cubes

Back in my day when you dropped an image into google image search you could SORT BY POST DATE TO FIND THE EARLIEST USAGE OF THE IMAGE

[patema-introverted]

Like no wonder people don't try to find the sources of art. The best tool is fucking gone. I hate that technology has gotten noticeably worse as I age.

[thequeenoftheentiregoddamnworld]

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone

[shadowicepuma]

@noodles-07 get peer reviewed

[katelyn-danger]

Ladies is it CIA propaganda to *check notes* describe the observable reality that trans women are materially disenfranchised more than trans men?

Is it CIA propaganda to be a feminist?

[bisexual-engineer-girl]

I think it's a fed goal to get us to split with this kind of discourse. How much does it like materially affect us to decide who has it worse. We're both being murdered and systematically oppressed. Irrespective of whether you're right if they're right I just don't see how it's productive for us to spend our time on "oh actually trans men have it easier than trans women." At the end of the day, Juniper Blessing was still stabbed 40 times in cold blood, and Brandon Teena was still raped and murdered. There's more important things than arguing about this stuff.
