reminds me of how artists flip the canvas to make sure their art looks good

Just flip the genders real quick and check if you accidentally made a cult

my conspiracy theory is that rupaul named her movie stop that train so it would be harder to google the time she tried to beat the transphobia allegations by posting the trans flag but she accidentally googled train flag instead

Found the source of the infographic that explains how the results were obtained!

[alexseanchai]

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado

something tells me Skunks Georg

we did it, we created furry gerrymandering

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[loth-caatgirl]

here’s my first kick!

[homunculus-argument]

I had a dream that was apparently heavily inspired by the movie Spirited Away, at least set in a world extremely similar to it. I was at a spirit wedding of some sort, and the only human guest there. It seems I knew some of the spirits from another time, where they had been the antagonists of a terrifying adventure I had been thrown into, and they were time and time again surprised to be reminded that I was still skittish around them.

None of them were offended by me not being entirely comfortable with them, just going "oh lmao yeah sorry I tried to kill you the last time we met, I honestly forgot humans are so sensitive about that kind of thing." Like mortals beings terified of death was just a funny cultural quirk they forgot about.

I met some demon/spirit woman whom I had met this way before (if you've seen Spirited Away, just picture her looking exactly like Yubaba, she was very close to that), and she remembered me and was both amused but somewhat awkward about the whole thing, going "oh lol sorry you must hate me now" but I reassured her that nah, I get it. If I had ever tried to kill a bug because it was annoying me by being in my line of sight, and later met that same bug as a guest at the same party I was attending, I'd feel really awkward about it too.

Then I asked her about that dragon boy she had had as a servant (slave?) that she had turned into a human as a punishment for something. I remembered her having him walked out of the spirit city while wearing a sheer silk cube suspended on some rods and attached to him with ropes from each corner, tied around his head in a way that forced his mouth open. I had to draw what the apparatus looked like because I still remember exactly what it looked like.

The punishmen wasn't just that he had to support the entire weight of the structure on the ropes tied painfully around his head, nor even simply this being an extremely public shaming punishment. The square silk block was also wide enough to take up the whole street at the narrowest points, so the people on the street had to move out of its way, and got angry at him for blocking traffic.

So anyway, trying to make casual small talk, I asked the spirit lady what happened to him in the end, did she ever let him go and let him go back to being a dragon. And she was like oh goodness of course, that'd be so fucked up if I had just left him human. And she immediately corrected herself like oh no offense of course, I'm not saying that being a human is inherently a horrible punishment. You must hate me now.

And I was like nah no I get it, if I had been dragon my whole life, and then got turned into a human, I'd hate that too. I also reassured her that she's fine, she's actually very polite all things considered. Most of the guests here had shown up uninvited, and most of them ahd not even thought of bringing the newlywed couple anything as a gift.

I don't remember what she had brought as a gift, but it wasn't a human or anything living. I also don't remember seeing the bride and groom (or whoever was getting married) at all.

did a bit of driving through the state of georgia today and wound up driving through a small town that i later discovered was called newborn, which is an odd name but doesn’t technically have anything wrong with it, except for the fact that i nearly gave myself whiplash doing a double-take at a building sign advertising NEWBORN TAXIDERMY

Medication is so annoying. I don’t want to get up so I can take more ibuprofen because the cramps are starting up. I want to take 100 pills of Tylenol and 100 pills of Motrin at the beginning of any given cycle and then be good for like three months. Or one month! Or one week! It doesn’t have to be an efficient usage of the medication if it means I don’t have to think about it at all for a bit. That would be nice. But unfortunately this kills you. Yet another example of how the science engages in a constant conspiracy to make you get up out of bed just when the nap was getting good.

Absolutely sick and tired of this mammal bullshit. Give me a sunbeam and one enormous pile of all my necessary medication in the form of a fully intact pig that I slowly digest over the course of a week

I love grindr images like this, they're so awesome sauced

Cis ppl will be like "transitioning is far less effective than my solution of dismantling gender norms" and then not dismantle gender norms

[catboybiologist]

Also additions from @peelerofpotatoes and @tvtimaeus that are good

I would still take estrogen on a desert island. If that doesn't describe you, then good for you!! But dismantling gender norms would still not alleviate bodily dysphoria for all.

Transitioning is itself a morally neutral act. It is your decision to make a statement with it, internally or externally. The statement I make with my transition has always been about bodily autonomy.
