Hobbes and Tigger would find some aspect of tigerhood to bond over, but Calvin would put Christopher Robin in the ground.

[gallusrostromegalus]

I've seen this post go around a few times and I have to respectfully disagree. Calvin and Christopher Robin are ADHD-Autism solidarity and share mutual interests in "elaborate daydream RP", "fucking around in the woods", "Precocious Rage at the injustices and tragedies of life", and (if we want to include that one particularly unhinged winnie-the-pooh baseball videogame in canon) "being the living incarnation of chaos"

They'd circle each other awkwardly and repeat bits of memorized social pastiches at each other like two furbies reacting to each other's noise before realizing the other is just as just as unhinged as they are, and then they'd be inseparable.

Like, Calvin will absolutely throw Christopher Robin into the creek at least once, but this is the way of profound childhood friendships.

i don't care how uncomfortable you are around cis men, queer cis men still need places to go, and sometimes, those spaces will be shared with yours. disabled and neurodivergent queer men and queer men of color especially need a place to go. the queer community isn't the "fuck cis men" community. that is the rad fem community. if you think cis men and people who read as cis men are inherently "too scary" or shouldn't be allowed in queer spaces, you joined the wrong community.

[butch-witches-deactivated202412]

additionally: hi, trans woman here. who gets called a cis man by the queers around me pretty consistently. literally no matter what im wearing or doing or what my makeup, nails, clothes look like. trans girls will come up to me and compliment my partner for having such a gnc cis boyfriend. just wanted to say: well i cant say that but im gonna say: dont do this shit.

also it becomes real fucking clear after a while of this that its not even "cis men bad" in their heads, its "anyone im not attracted to is bad" and theyre only attracted to skinny white femme. cis men bad is just a "progressive" label for pushing white supremacist ideals.

not to fucking mention how "cis men bad" forces trans men who could be mistaken for cis to disclose their trans identity. which a cis guy could just lie about anyway so like. whats the end game here are we gonna start doing genital checks or can we all just settle the fuck down and believe that if somebody showed up to the queer event they prolly belong there and its none of our fucking business why

okay last thing, sorta unrelated, but if u never dated a woman with a beard then i think ur a loser and beneath contempt. okay i love you byyyyye

[genderqueerdykes]

thank you so much for this addition- this is exactly what i was implying when i said that people who "read" as cis men also need safe spaces to go and should never have to disclose their trans or cis status in order to be able to find safety. this mentality disproportionately affects trans women and trans men. this affects trans people way more than it does cis people- people project their idea of what a cis man "looks like" on to whoever they want to without discretion. you summed it up perfectly. thank you

um don't you know that when you play toys it releases dopamine (a CHEMICAL) in your brain... and it literally acts like a DRUG... you might think you enjoy playing toys but it's actually just dopamine dependency... so yeah playing toys addiction is a serious problem :/

ford regrets what happened with stan so much actually

this is the page where ford decides to ask stan for help

there are 2 things about this page

1. it has tear stains. ford cried either while writing this, drawing stan, or both

2. the code say "have been too harsh all along?" which, i feel like writing this in code was a way for him to not fully admit it while still at least getting the thought out of his head

but the thing about the particular code this was written in

is that its the one code stan could also read

[queer-here-and-in-fear]

i think its really really important to remember how EASILY stan couldve dropped a "now i have to deal with you BRATS for the summer.." or ford to slip a "dont let these snotty little children near my lab again, stan." but instead they never do that like. idk.

i like how the show makes it a very important and clear point that at least hear, the twins are Loved and Cherished and Wanted. so very wanted.

stan ADORES THEM. in his bones. hes trying to give them freedom but he is so so worried.

ford goes from growling to MELTING on sight "shermie had kids?" they are his babies.

its a very good and nice point like. these children are Loved and Wanted and their guardians are trying so hard and that is the bare minimum. and Not loving your kids is a bad fucked up thing to do with bad consequences.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

[catmask]

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

Sweet Dreams - Rora Blue

2020.

“Sweet Dreams explores the intricacies of everyday ableism and everyday ableist comments. Some of the comments recount dialogue said to the artist. Other phrases were submitted by other disabled and/or chronically ill individuals as documentation of comments that have been said to them. Through using recognizable objects associated with disability in correlation with playful colors, Sweet Dreams aims to reclaim objects commonly associated with pain and disrupt the narrative on what it means to be disabled.”

People on tumblr love to emphasize how being disgusted by something doesn't mean that thing is immoral, meanwhile not even thinking about how this goes both ways and an asexual person who is entirely sex repulsed is not the pearl-clutching anti-sex lunatic you need to worry about

[aromantic-diaries]

I can assure you that sex repulsed people are not the ones responsible for everything being censored and sanitized, you just want an excuse to throw asexuals under the bus. We have nothing to do with this shit

i love it when "liminal space" pictures are described as "strangely familiar" because they do not ever invoke nostalgia in me. on account of me not being american. this is what eastern european liminal spaces look like

So a thing about homeschoolers, specifically the kind I come from, is that they're simultaneously:

1. Really "smart" in the sense of doing well on tests. Homeschoolers usually have to take yearly aptitude tests to confirm they're actually learning school stuff, and they usually ace them. This makes sense! Homeschoolers get to learn at their own pace and they have amazing student/teacher ratios: like, 1/1 to 4/1 (or in one case, 12/1). Imagine a public school that could say that!

2. Really fucking ignorant because the curriculum is a joke. The books they teach in American public are bad enough, the ones homeschoolers use are worse. Like I remember worksheets from the first Iraq War that were talking about how it was an important war against the forces of Magog. I had a biology class (with an external teacher who WAS ACTUALLY a doctor!) where the entire final test was "why isn't evolution true?"

So these two things often combine to result in what's basically the most annoying person you can imagine:

They think they're smart

They have the test results to prove it

But they don't know a fucking thing about the world, outside of a very small bubble of Evangelical Christian Conservativism

This bubble usually only bursts when they go to college. Despite their amazing SAT scores, a surprising number of these kids don't go to college (or they go to a Christian college). I knew a very smart girl who got married before she turned 19 and had her first kid by 20. She's never going to college. Her husband (another homeschooler) didn't either, since he had to take a job to be able to take care of his new baby. They're going to homeschool their kid. It's a cycle that repeats, and repeats, and repeats.

But yeah. I just want to explain: this guy isn't just an ignorant mislead fool who thinks they know everything, they're from a system that perpetually generates exactly that guy.

So sure, "screw that guy", but also, "pity that guy" and hope he escapes this nigh-cult.

(disclaimer: my experience is specific to Evangelical Christian homeschoolers. I have no beef with Christians in general (I'm a pope, for fucks sake!) or even homeschoolers in general. It could be done well and properly, it just isn't being done that way where I came from)
