As many of you know, today is Trans Day of Remembrance.

There are no words to express the utter loss our community has suffered this past year. Thirty nine of our siblings in struggle, many of whom were people of color, were killed in the U.S. since January 1 of this year. There may be others whose names we do not yet know. This is a time of mourning for the entire community, and we must hold each other close as we close out the year next month.

Take care of ourself today, and every day after this. Give yourself the time to feel, to experience, to love, to embrace as we remember these thirty nine names, faces, lives, people, and the ones who came before us.

We say their names - and remember their stories

Okay…after sneaking through trees and buildings for what felt like forever we’re finally taking a breather. This is Alix. Basically he was like “okay who are you and where’d you come from” and I was like tryna play dumb and he was like “don’t be stupid, your money’s from the early 2000’s” and I was like “whatever bye idiot, it’s vintage” 💃🏽 (But ended up telling him everything). Anyway… apparently it was his boss that called the authorities, and Alix created a distraction with his gun and saved me. Which…I’m really thankful for. Who knows what could’ve happened?

If you are against BLM, you are unwelcome on my page.

If you support AllLivesMatter or BlueLivesMatter, you are not my friend.

If you think the riots are unjustified and irrational, unfollow me right now.

I am not black, but I support the black community all the way. I cannot possibly understand your pain or your suffering, but I'm with you. Now and forever.

Ravenclaw: ughhh. My body’s doing that thing again..

Slytherin: what thing?

Ravenclaw: the thing when I don’t sleep for days and it stops working.

Slytherin: ah. Sleep deprivation.

Ravenclaw:

Slytherin: I mean, like, I can knock you out if you want?

Ravenclaw: you’d do that for me?

Okay so we're all aware of the current job-classing system yes?

White collar - Office jobs, executives, doctors etc.

And

Blue collar - Anything that isn't considered a "good job" in our society

Well I don't like this. It lumps way too many jobs together and is overall really confusing. So I propose a new system.

Crisp collar, soft collar, scrub collar and no collar.

Allow me to explain.

Crisp collar - (literally talking about jobs with professional-formal dress code) high office jobs, executives, government and the like.

Soft collar - (literally talking about jobs with a business casual-professional dress code. Polos and the like) lower office jobs, janitorial staff, fast food, retail, teachers etc.

Scrub collar - (literally talking about scrubs) medical jobs

And

No collar - (literally talking about the lack of a collar on a shirt, t-shirts and stuff like that) trades, construction, volunteer work, childcare etc.

Not only does this allow for more classifications and more color possibilities, it shows a better representation of the actual jobs in our society. There can be crisp collar, soft collar and no collar jobs in one building. It presents every classification as equals and can give others a better sense of what you do without directly telling them.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Fun fact: According to Greek legend there was a famous prostitute who managed to avoid a death sentence by showing the judges her boobs and arguing that it would be a crime against the Gods to destroy something so beautiful. 

Before you ask, yes there are paintings of this. And yes, they’re amazing.

I love history.

[bipolarbulgogi]

Role models tho.

[barcoque]

The gay one

[suzie-guru]

No, but this is one of my absolute favorite bits of history! 

The courtesan named was named Phryne and she was indeed a renowned beauty, and was indeed was put on trial for a capital crime. And yes, the sum of her defense consisted of her stripping in court (helped by her lover/defendant) and asking the jury (all males) if they were prepared to destroy this. 

But this is actually a very interesting case of Values Dissonance - the capital crime she was accused of was blasphemy. In Ancient Greek society, exceptional beauty was a sign of favor from the gods, and they took the idea that beauty indicated goodness with great seriousness. They even called their nobles Kaloi k'Agathoi, “the Beautiful and the Good.” 

So by showing off her great physical beauty, Phryne was being very clever indeed, her argument essentially being “How could I possibly commit blasphemy if the gods have given me this body?“ 

God, I adore history.

And this is yet again another reason why history is my favorite subject.

Illustrator Imagines a World Where Gentle Giant Animals Live Among Humans

What if we lived in a world where giant cats and dogs roamed the earth?

[pomrania]

There’s even more pictures, from the second page of the link:

Never before have I so deeply wanted to live in the world of someone’s artwork. Those pictures with the human just burying their entire upper body in the floof, they speak to me on a spiritual level.

I can tell that my professor doesn’t have ADHD.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I just told my dad and brother about this and my dad said “But you do control your own motivation?” and my brother recoiled in horror so you can probably guess which one of them has ADHD

[15thedoctor-deactivated20240103]

Motivation is a rare and passing favour granted by the stars. An elusive wind that comes and goes in its own time

Who…who controls their own motivation??

[what-even-is-thiss]

Neurotypicals, allegedly.

[itscoldinwonderland]

Wait.. people can control their motivation???

[what-even-is-thiss]

Allegedly.
