T-Rex actually stands for Transgender Rex
happy pride
i enjoy that every single human’s reaction to penguin is unrestrained delight
And penguins lack large terrestrial predators, so their reaction to humans tends to be, “HELLO STRANGE GIANT PENGUINS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU HAVE ANY FISH?”
I will reblog this on my deathbed.
Please let him science 🐧
i think at least half of the million reblabs on this are from me
There is an international treaty that says we’re supposed to stay 6m away from penguins, and it’s really difficult because no one told the penguins, and they all desperately want to wander up and say hi.
After some years of HRT I've been left with this deep, low simmering rage. Because what do you mean it was always this easy to be happy
I take a shot once a week, and even if that was too much, I could do it as pills, and so many of my problems just evaporated overnight.
And not one person thought to bring it up.
When I was talking about how horrifying puberty felt. When I was cutting myself. When I was in inpatient care. When I attempted suicide. When I talked for YEARS in therapy about how dissociated and trapped I felt in my body. When I felt like I never truly fixed something that was deeply wrong about me that started at puberty.
Not one person said it was a possibility. No one thought "hey, maybe this kid should go to someone trained to identify dysphoria". No one mentioned that trans people weren't some weird other group of people. It didn't have to be pressure. It didn't have to be "forcing" me. Just mentioning that trans people exist and it could be me. That it was possible and it was easy. No pushing, just laying the option out there.
HRT is treated like this last ditch option. This horrific, mutilating thing that I GUESS we can give to you if you have NO OTHER options. Because did you know it's permanent? Did you know you'll be on it for the rest of your life? Did you know the health risks? Did you know it'll make you infertile? Did you know that it's deviant? Did you know that it's an alternative lifestyle for other people?
No one said it was okay to WANT it to be permanent. Or noted that most people are reliant on the medical system in one way or the other anyways (and it's not even necessary for HRT). Or that the health risks are the normal parts of having that hormone, even in cis people of your gender. Or said it was okay to not want kids, or mention that you can just freeze gametes. Or acknowledged that the "deviant" people are just people, living their lives, that have been violently pushed out of "normal" society.
I grew up in an area that Republicans mock for being a kind of "woke central". And even then it's just. Not treated as an easy option. It was never on the table if you don't specifically already know you're going through gender stuff, and no one will help you get to that point. At which point, it's still treated like the last ditch option. Did you know you can be a feminine man? Did you know you can slap a "she/her" in your twitter bio and be done with it? Did you know that you're oh-so-valid without it? Did you know that you shouldn't take HRT? Maybe don't take HRT? Don't take HRT? Don't take HRT? Don't ta-
When you've been in it a while, HRT is the easiest, most casual thing in the world. Just pop a shot on a Saturday as part of your "everything shower" routine and you're done.
Anyways. Support trans kids always and forever.
And if anyone comes swinging in here with "but Sierra you don't have to take HRT to be trans this is toxic" I'm going to fucking scream, because that is the status quo. "Just do this without doing this" has become a "give them an inch" refrain when making ourselves "acceptable" to the cis. Of COURSE you don't need to take HRT. I'm only reminded of it a dozen times a day.
congratulations to the straw hats for adopting their first adult!
5/31/2026 UPDATE: I have redrawn this image now, link here!!!
Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?
Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate
Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.
In all seriousness, if you live in the US and you aren't familiar with the misogynistic harassment these people in the game industry faced during Gamergate, you need to watch this series right now.
This was the beggining of the current form of the US fascist movement and it underpins the entire thing about it to this day. If you live in the US and Gamergate isn't familiar to you, you're missing critical history to understanding US fascism. I'm not joking even a little bit here, you will understand modern United States fascism so much better if you are familiar with Gamergate.
Not an exaggeration. Gamergate led directly to the redpill/incel movement, which white supremacists exploited and colonized. Not to say that most of the white men in those movements weren't already racist to some extent, but that wasn't an active part of their politics until white supremacist recruiters came along and convinced them that the women ruining their videogames were part of the conspiracy to destroy the white race.
That's a very brief summary but you can go back step by step over the past decade and see how they did it.
I've found it funny that people criticise Sarkeesian for, paradoxically, not saying "much". She gave fairly surface-level analysis, it wasn't very complex, etc.
Yes. This is because her series was introductory.
Like. Folks. Do you expect every lesson to start at the end?
Please do not criticise her work for not being complex enough, when its purpose was to start a path of learning. Holy shit.
Before June I have to share one of my favorite tiktoks
i don't like calling things cognitohazardous, even when used semifacetiously it gives some amount of credence to the idea that one can be mentally corrupted by reading something. like even outright fascist propaganda is not a cognitohazard, one can read like mein kampf or smth and understand that it's bad just fine and not be like duped into hating da jews or whatever. reading stuff that is bigoted abt a group you are in can be painful and triggering but that isn't what is conveyed by the term cognitohazard
I don't care who you are get comfortable with the fact that you have privilege over some people and groups
if you think this doesn't apply to you almost certainly wrong.
are you white? are you cis? are you able bodied? are you a man?
have you ever been bombed?
are you perisex? are you non-Black? are you developmentally abled? do you have passive income or inheritance? are you legally an adult?
are you pregnant? do you have a disorder you can't treat because of lack of health insurance? are you feeding yourself off $20 a week? did you have to drop out of college because of a family situation? do you have migraines? can you get to the grocery store alone? do you have memory issues? did your parents threaten to kill you because you're gay? does your mom have schizophrenia and has she tried to kill you because of it? did your stepdad lock you in a bare concrete room in a third world country to sleep on the floor for two months?
As summer is approaching, I’d like to remind everyone that you are not entitled to ask someone to cover up their scars, self inflicted or not. I don’t care if they’re big, I don’t care if they’re noticeable, or purple, or all over their body, or what. You can’t police people’s bodies.
This also goes for my friends with feeding tubes, ostomy bags, central lines and urinary catheters. People are allowed exist in bodies that stray from the expected norm.
Folks who're using tube feeds or similar already know if their feed can be exposed to light. You telling them to "cover it up (oh, but because I want to make sure you're okay!!)" is absolutely faux-concern. Even if you don't think you're doing it out of faux-concern... ask yourself, do you think it's LIKELY that the person you're talking to knows less about tube feeding than you, a person who is not on tube feeds?
Besties. People on tube feeds generally know more than me, a person who prescribes and administers tube feeds. I am professionally required to know about tube feeds, and they know more than me, so they sure as shit know more than you.
This brought to you by "shut the fuck up and stop making people feel like outsiders in their own bodies, they know more about their illness than you do, shut up shut up shut up forever".
in absolute tears about the pride module at my work
HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY
Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...
Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).
happy first day of pride everyone
Oh my god, I'm having to take some workplace training thing and it shows you a page of text and then there's a Next button, but if you click the next button before 60 seconds have passed, it tells you:
"To better understand the material, please spend more time on this page"
I am a very fast reader with ADHD! This just means I read the page and then spend the next 48 seconds fucking around in another window.
Amusingly the page I'm currently on is about respecting neurodiversity in the workplace.
I think I figured out why it works this way, and it's because of California state law. It says that employees must be given one hour of sexual harassment/abusive conduct prevention training every 2 years.
But it's just a bunch of text & images, so in theory an employee could read it all very quickly and be done in 20 minutes, which means they didn't get their one hour of training.
We have something similar here because I work as a medical student and I have to do training programs as part of that. It only lets you move on when you've done "enough", with no real guidance on what that is but it's clear it's just box-ticking.
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
At time of posting, this is at 711.6k notes
29 Days Remain
Only 12 days left.
It’s Saturday, May 30, 3:18 PM EDT
The note count as of 3:12 PM EDT was 742.4K.
We’re almost 258,000 notes short of the Committment To The Bit Tumblr Curse goal, or what I am choosing to call:
The Bear Nessiecity
You know what to do.
