i CANNOT express how much more lovable my friends are to me at their most annoying. i'd rather hear the same story 3 times than not at all. i'd rather read a 22 message text rant about something totally inconsequential than not hear from you all day. i'd rather you tag me in the stupidest post i've ever seen than not know that it made you think of a conversation we had a month ago. BE ANNOYING AT ME. I LOVE YOU
i am an intense person and i am going to be an intense person for the rest of my life but the right people will stick around i think hopefully
Sometimes
I want to be understood.
I have got friends, pretty people. They do ask how I've been and I go with the classic "I'm good how about you"
I want to tell them how really I am and I know they mean it when they ask
But I need assurance
like every 5 minutes I want somebody to go "Hey, I see you, you're loved" and that sounds like a lot, I get it
But I am a lot, how do I change that?
I want to look at The Sun and talk about it being the most beautiful thing ever
I want to talk about family of flowers and which ones I like best
I want to look at the stars and talk about constellations and the stories they tell
I want to have a full fledged healthy argument on economy and how things work and why they don't
I want to talk

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treate
Well fucks? Get to it!

Trans rights are always wavering in safety and are not stable and well protected in the UK. Please sign.
Trans rights in the UK is my rights.
Alas I have already signed...
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
What is the most important step a man can take?
The next.
I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.
am taking perverse pleasure in reminding people it's 2025. that's a star trek year. silly little science fiction number. except it's happening, and DANG ain't it underwhelming!
for Gen Z folks who didn't live through it:
the late 2000s to mid 2010s were culturally, a time of a resurgence of hope. I don't think we seriously realized it at the time (for all the Obama campaign posters), but it honestly was the last period in recent history where it was assumed the future would be better.
that was a big thing, that many millennials didn't realize was a big thing, until it was torn away. we honestly thought it was over, the fear and uncertainty of the Cold War and the Nuclear Age (and Bush 2.0). we were born in an era of reprieve. things were bad, yes, the world was insane and unfair, but it was better than it was before. the world had been at the brink of ultimate disaster, and then it stepped back. (And we honestly thought we had escaped our parents' legacy, by sheer virtue of being born in the correct decade.)
I cannot overstate how much that shapes your worldview, growing up in a time where the recent present is better than the recent past. we had reason to believe the world was getting better. because it was, actually! for a good while there! progress was slow, but it was real, and we could feel its grit on our fingertips.
and now we're in an age of regression. because you were robbed. we were robbed. a great global era of robbery (of housing and food and time and health and body and freedom and fundamental human rights), has blossomed, and is happening everyday today.
be furious. they will steal the teeth from your gums.
SO BITE WHILE YOU STILL CAN
Hey, married women: Go apply for your passport.
The SAVE Act has passed in The House. It makes it illegal for a woman whose last name does not match her birth name to vote as a "citizenship verification measure." The main way around it is being able to present your passport at the polls since that proves your citizenship.
Look up your Senators here and raise hell on their phone lines about this blatant attempt to disenfranchise millions of women:
https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member
wow this is an extremely blatant voter suppression bill. it makes extreme modifications to the motor voter act to make it significantly harder to register to vote for everyone, not just women. it's so patriotic that it even disenfranchises military personnel!
here's a summary of house rep morelle's (NY-D) comments from the hearing on july 10, 2024 when this passed the house. this bill would:
prevent most americans from registering to vote using only a driver's license, including REAL ID-compliant licenses
require additional documentation beyond standard photo IDs to prove citizenship
only accept passports as standalone proof of citizenship, which only 48% of americans have (nice middle finger to the 130 million citizens who don't have one)
prevent military personnel from using military IDs alone, requiring they also provide records showing US birthplace. new registrants deployed overseas will be unable to register due to in-person requirements
prevent native americans' tribal IDs from being accepted unless they show place of birth in the US, which most don't
screw over married women as described by OP
and for what? what great threats are there to the Integrity and Security of our federal elections that inspire this bill? let's hear it from rep steil (WI-R) in his opening remarks:
First, I point you to a 1996 congressional race in California where an investigation by this body revealed that 624 noncitizens voted in that congressional election. I also point you to a race less than 4 years ago where our colleague from Iowa won by six votes.
ohhh shit. ohhh FUCK! yeah we definitely need to disenfranchise millions of people over this.
see which fuckers voted "yes" in voter role call 345. all republicans voted yes, 5 democrats voted yes, and 10 democrats didn't vote.
follow the bill's progress on congress.gov under HR 8281
as OP mentioned, find your senators and raise hell
And if you're a woman and planning to get married, DON'T CHANGE YOUR NAME. Unless you've been desperately longing to get rid of your name your whole life, or your husband's name is absolutely perfect, don't change it. You could be socially known as Mrs. Hisname but legally still be Yourfirstname Yourlastname, and tricks like this won't catch you. And best of all? The amount of work it takes to accomplish this is none. Zero. Negative work. You do absolutely nada and your name doesn't change.
Your children can still carry his name if you want
People at school will most often call you "Childname's Parent" rather than "Mrs. Childlastname" anyway
Your credit cards and drivers license and all the other pieces of your identity don't have to be replaced
The only issue you'll ever encounter is that once in a while to get a married couple discount at a gym or something maybe you'll need to present your marriage certificate, so don't lose it
Your mother in law does not need to know what your legal name is if you're going by his last name socially
Your work email address won't change
I mean, I kinda wonder why any woman with ADHD ever would change her name anyway, seems like a giant pain in the ass.
As you know, because you are on Tumblr and therefore you know some trans people, it is quite possible to socially go by one name and legally go by another. In fact if you know anyone with a nickname, you know this fact. Well, it works for last names too.
(If you don't want to be known socially by his last name either... more power to you, sister! There need to be more of us that just never changed our fucking names at all. But if you do want to take his name... don't take it legally. The US government currently is run by people who think Handmaid's Tale didn't go far enough. Protect yourself.)
All that. Thanks to everyone who has time to do deeper dives on legislation than I do at the moment. ❤️
ugh.
This is a plan to disenfranchise millions and rig elections. Call your representatives NOW whether they are democrats or republicans and tell them you want them to do everything in their power to STOP this bill.
And then get out and protest. Don't have a protest near you? Organize one. If you have contacts with unions, civil rights organizations or advocacy groups work with them to try to get the word out about protests and get more people involved.
The Fascists are coming for your votes and your rights. This is not a drill. Stand up.
Republicans in Congress have introduced the extreme anti-voter Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 22/S.128 and declared i
You can use 5 Calls to call your reps about this. It even has a handy script. (Which can also be used if you email them).
hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed a "security app".

I had to go and delete it myself this morning.
And several others as well. Clear data, disable, uninstall if you can.

my cat hates taking his pills. the only way we can get him to eat them is to turn it into an elaborate pantomime - we take the packet out of the cupboard slowly and hold it up, saying “oh!! what’s this? what’s this? a TREAT? a TREAT for louis????” while making surprised faces. we offer him a pill… then, before he has a chance to sniff it, we wag our fingers at him and replace it in the packet so it becomes a Tantalising Forbidden Mystery. we continue doing this until he’s so confused and excited that he will eat the pill as fast as possible, just so he can find out what it is before we can take it away from him again. as soon as he’s eaten it he looks utterly disappointed and betrayed, like a child who just ate a delicious sweet only to find it was a chocolate-coated brussels sprout. it never gets old
Op this is the funniest thing I’ve ever read
op how could you just hide this from me in the tag this makes this objectively 10000000% funnier

To reiterate:
Trump's transphobic Executive Orders regarding healthcare and Federal documents are currently unenforceable and are not current actionable policy of the Federal government.
Do not despair.
Do not panic.
And most importantly: do not comply in advance.
Staying alive is a radical act as a trans person in Trump's America.
I honor Martin Luther King Jr. today and every other day. Respect.
Of all the insults you've thrown
"Soft" has hurt the most.
To hear that the years of love and laughter
That carved the lines in my cheeks
Were a weakness
Wounds me as much as the slaps you endured
At the hands of people far less soft than I.
In a moment my pain will pass, I know
And pity will set in
At how sad it is that you were raised
To see compassion as a flaw.

"kids are detransitioning"
no. actually, children now feel comfortable and accepted enough to experiment with their gender, pronouns, name, and presentation. and while some of them end up realizing they were cis the entire time, they now have a new understanding and appreciation for one of the most marginalized and abused groups of people in the world.
there, I fixed your shitty headline.
Also quite honestly, if kids are detransitioning- so what? Honestly, good for them.
Nobody is doing surgery on trans kids. Nobody is doing anything more than MAYBE puberty blockers (which are clinically proven to be safe and are also the go to treatment for cis kids going through precocious puberty). If they decide that actually they're not the gender they thought they were, GOOD.
I want kids to feel safe trying things out. I want kids to experiment with their self expression, be it clothes or hair or gender. If it turns out to be "just a phase" I would far rather it be a phase that they are loved and supported through rather than something they feel is shameful and that they have to hide. I want them to feel like there's no pressure to go one way or the other, just to feel safe to figure themselves out in whatever way makes them comfortable.
Protect trans kids. Protect detrans kids. Protect questioning kids. Full fucking stop.
Investing in something that turned out to be not what you wanted, but nonetheless left you with insight into who you want to be? That's being alive for ya
Posted this on Twitter: I'm tired of the fear over trans kids. My son thought he's trans. Lived a year with different clothes, name and pronouns. Came back and said "I think I'm not a girl after all." We switched things back. Poof!
Side effects: he knows he'll have support in journeys of self discovery.
There's literally no harm. None. Years later and he's so open with me about his feelings and his needs. He knows I'll take him seriously and stand by him. He was never in danger just existing for a while as a trans kid, even though he didn't turn out to be one.
"But what if I identify A and wind up B?"
Then you did some exploring followed by some learning, and that is more than some people ever do.
Daily Reminder To:
Take your medications that you need to!
Get up, stretch, walk around a bit!
Get some food and water if you haven’t in a while!
Plug in your device!
Feed any pets!
If it’s between 10 pm and 7 am and you have no reason to be awake, go to sleep or at least get comfortable and rest for a bit!
Check around you and stack any dishes and bring them to the kitchen! Including plates, cups, bowls, and utensils!
Do a quick look around and pick up any trash and put it in the bin!
Message anyone to check in on them and yourself! Respond to any messages you may have gotten, answer some asks if need be, let your family know that you’re alive and well, whatever you need to do!
If you need to and are able to, go take a shower! Or clean your face! Get changed at the very least, put your clothes in the dirty hamper, and feel better about it!
That’s all for now! Good job, I’m proud of you for doing that!
The idea that bodymod of all kinds from piercings and tattoos to gender-affirming care and amputations "goes against God's design" is such a fragile fucking take imo.
Like. Fuck, Brendine, you don't cut the moldy bit off a block of cheese? You don't spit out the bones when you eat fish? Do you never bake bread or cook food or chop off your hair? You just crawl around in a fig leaf bikini eating pine cones off the ground and shit in a hole?
Eve ate the apple already hon we ain't gonna undo that shit dressing like we're Children of the Corn
