“I was more when I was alive.”

Teapot with fossil design, c. 1760-65, The Met.

A similar fossil patterned teapot, also c. 1760's, Milwaukee Art Museum.

Another 1760's teapot that is very very similar to the first one, also at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

I added the first teapot to a longer thread, but the fossil teapots are so delightful they deserve their own post.

I'd assumed this was pretty heavily stylized, but I was wrong! It turns out crinoidal limestone really just looks like that!

What I thought was fanciful teeth and abstract shapes is just a straightforward depiction of the cross sections of all these little bits of fossilized sea lilies, flower shaped centres included. Amazing.

Toph 🏳️‍🌈

[ID: A full body digital drawing of Toph from Avatar: the Last Airbender. Her eyes are closed, and she’s smiling with her tongue stuck out. She’s got one hand on her hip, and another hand holding a nonbinary flag. Wrapped around her shoulders is the lesbian flag. There are white lines drawn around both flags to draw attention to them.

love is insane you feel like you're always subtly asking "do you still love me even though i'm flawed" and the answer just keeps being yes

honestly even if ur 100% monogamous its healthy to be able to like... discuss your own attraction. your partner shouldnt be getting wildly jealous over you having the hots for a celebrity or fictional character, and if your partner thinks your friends are good looking that shouldnt be panic attack inducing. thats like... normal? its normal to notice when people are attractive?

[godyoupeopleareannoying-deactiv]

like ok be miserable but me n my bf will be laughing together over which pathetic fictional man we'd have as our third if he were real

ive known so many “cis” people who’ve told me they thought they might be trans or nonbinary but they dont really experience dysphoria so they felt like they werent allowed to call themselves trans. how many people have had to live their lives in the closet because they were told they werent in enough pain

[eptck]

i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again. EUPHORIA is the greatest identifier of a trans person. not dysphoria. dysphoria is hard to define and thus it’s hard to regulate what is and isn’t dysphoria. but euphoria? that feeling u get when someone uses the right pronouns? that “i can’t contain my smile” sort of joy? THATS what the trans experience is all about. that’s what unites us

[ghostofhallownest]

anxiety dampened my euphoria for a long time. still does—getting correct pronouns is mixed joy with a feeling of imposition, like i’m asking too much. that’s a valid response, too. it’s okay if it’s not pure, undulated joy. if it brings you some margin more happiness, then you’re probably moving in the right direction.
