My friends are all roasting me for living a fanfic cliche when I just want to get swole on the cheap 😔
Does your roommate also just want to get swole on the cheap, or are they looking for... Something more?
i just saw a trans dude like My Age say some shit like "im a trans man and im bisexual so theoretically i could date women but then i would be subjecting them to having to date a man and i dong want anyone to suffer that much" and ive seen so many similar videos on my fyp from trans boys so if ur a trans boy reading this i love u its okay to be a man. ur not a monster ur great transitioning wont make you abusive or anything i promise its okay to be a man
“Being a man makes you Contaminated In Some Way and women having romantic contact with men are Suffering” is radfem koolaid.
one of my favourite linguistic phenomena/in-jokes is spanish potato chips being “ham-flavored, probably”
y’see because spain and portugal are so close, labels in stuff like food, shampoo, etc often come in portuguese as well as spanish
this brand of chips, Lay’s, displays the flavor in spanish and portuguese, resulting in ham-flavored chips looking like this:
with “jamón” being spanish and “presunto” being portuguese
however, “presunto” is also a spanish adjective, meaning “presumed” (or suspected)
so you have this in-joke going where spanish chips taste like ham, presumably
You’ve heard of “I can’t believe it’s not butter!” now get ready for “It’s questionable whether or not this is ham”
“i may sound like a biological essentialist” says the biological essentialist
plenty of AFAB people opt out of menstruation anyways. i would if i wasn’t worried about the side effects and found the right regimen, and i don’t think that my psychology is all that affected by my menstrual cycle to be honest. maybe i’m unusual but i don’t think my body is made to do something just because it can.
(this screenshot is from an article about attitudes towards artificial wombs. count me solidly in the pro-‘artificial wombs as a viable option’ category).
“Women are defined by their wombs” remains the traddest take out there.
Isopod Table FAQ
how do you take care of the isopods and plants?
i can take the glass off it´s just layed on top and not really heavy. isopods also are very low maintance so are all the plants in there so i only really have to do this once a week
what isopods are that?
the isopods i keep in this table are Armadillium vulgare “magic potion”. A. vulgare are naturally just gray but these are a morph bred to have this specific color. they are very active isopods who don´t mind me knocking on the glass or putting things down.
are the isopods okay in there?
generally isopod care is very easy since they are detrivores and especially armadillium species prefer a dead leaf and rotting wood diet. don´t worry they won´t eat through the table they can only eat wood that has been claimed by fungus and become mushy! here is a great care sheet
i personally have been keeping isopods for the last 3 or 4 years and feel confident with this setup. i asure you i would never put any of my pets in a situation that is stressful for them!
wont the isopods eat the plants?
yes they will but Armadillium species are generally not as hungry for plants and other “fresh” food and prefer their leaves and wood. most of the plants are also just moss that i can easily replace or grow fast enough to not be concerned.
won´t they need air?
don´t worry there is ventilation. generally i prefer smaller ventilation area with isopods so humidity stays in better. they are crustaceans and actually breath through gills so you want to make sure their home is always damp. not soaked like a bog tho just damp like a natural forest floor!
can you explain how you built it?
i´m sorry but i likely won´t share a detailed step by step because i didn´t document it and i´m really not that skilled in carpentry so i think there are much better resources out there. the easy explaination is:
i got the main bodies wood custom cut, stained and painted it, sealed the outside with a few coats of clear paint, screwed it together.
than built the frame with the legs.
stained that and all other brown parts.
in the mean time i sealed the inside with epoxy and let it cure.
screwed the bottom to the top and put in the pond liner
added the brown side and top pieces
measured the final size and got the glass custom cut
put in the sidewalls made from black cork
set up the inside (more on that later)
put glass on top
this whole thing took me 2 months or so. time is a blurr in 2020 for everytone. it might be longer it was definetly a lot of work to even just gather all the material and i figured a lot out as i built it. it´s also built in a way that would probably make actual carpenters end me because i don´t have special tools i really just have a drill, jigsaw and some small hand saws.
okay can we talk about mold now. won´t it get moldy?
please look at this post i made just about mold and how the inside is set up:

being moderately proficient with computers in the early 2010s was casting a hex on your family to call you sheldon
i got a big bang theory box set and a bazinga t shirt for christmas when i was 16
my dad wanted to get me a psych eval so i could say "im not crazy. my father had me tested." like sheldon did and after the psych eval they diagnosed me with paranoid schizophrenia
this could be the funniest thing that has happened to anyone ever. my condolences king
left tumblr for a few months when did the ui get so w i d e
My fav whaling logbook phenomenon is when their keeper opts NOT to use whale stamps and instead hand-draws very ornate whales to indicate when he sees them, but then as time goes on the whales get progressively shittier looking because that’s too much work. I know how it feels to get locked into an artistic bit later regretted, man.
E.g.
[ID: Detailed drawing of a sperm whale with shading, eyes, and a spout]
[ID: Wobblier drawing of a whale with no shading and no detailed features]
[ID: The vague blurry notion of a whale]
Maybe he kept encountering shittier whales

Ol’ Two Terabyte Ted over here thinks they’re hot shit, huh?
I feel like terfs are such an obvious and clear example of how dangerous upholding only a single aspect of identity as being the Most Oppressed can be. They’ll fight for the prison system, at the expense of the black people who are the most OVERWHELMINGLY high demographic incarcerated. (Often falsely at that.), because their fear and hatred of men extends to bipoc men.
(Also, claiming that fear of rape is the only reason people would be against prisons is… insane. )
I have a lot of thoughts about exactly how fucked up this is and I don’t think I’ll be able to put them into words clearly. But like. These are feminists who believe that rape (the threat of it and the practice of it) is a tool for justice as long as it is used against men. (Never mind that, hello, women also go to prison and are also raped there.) The way that they see men as inherently guilty is not actually a counterculture idea when it comes to black men in our society, who are presumed guilty by the world around them. And this is how you get self-proclaimed radical feminists who fight to preserve the carceral state that allows those in power to profit from the forced labor and suffering and rape and torture that goes on in our prison system. It’s sick.
I have, on two separate occasions, seen TERFs refer to women's prisons as "women's spaces" (in the context of them being 'invaded' by men) so this should not surprise me.
But after reading about the prison system these screenshots are truly some of the most abhorrent shit i've ever seen.
Even if you can't haul yourself out of the Mariana Trench to pass over the bar of believing that no one should be raped...women are raped in the prison system. Not only that, women are essentially raped BY the prison system through forced 'searches' of their bodily orifices.
Also, having to give birth while incarcerated? Being denied sufficient menstrual hygiene products in prison? Sounds like something Exclusively men would care about. Yup, just men,,
Prisons are really not for protecting anyone, not the people inside them, not the people outside of them. Prisons likely do more to expose women to sexual abuse and assault than they do to protect them from it.
But I guess they don't count if they're poor women and women of color, huh? 🤨
i drank a lot of vodka while packing last night and i was really worried about forgetting where i put my passport i guess
i have adhd and this seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do
