some vent art for the trans experience.

do not repost .

[theartofanimation]

[nathsketch]

As I was going through my Tumblr posts, I got really nostalgic thinking about these older pieces (some of them were my first ever attempts at paper art) and how green and terrified I was when I first started down this path! These characters were such a part of my past and it’s incredible to think that now they’re my present and hopefully, my future, for years and years ❤️

It’s true, you know? If you can dream it, you can do it.

DON’T KNOW IF THIS HAS YET BEEN SHARED BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.

I DON’T KNOW IF ALL OF US CALLING WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE BUT IT IS BETTER THAN DOING NOTHING.

If you don’t want to call, at the very least, reblog the hell out of this.

[numinous-queer]

alternately, you can write a message to the superintendent of the Harrison County Board of Education here:

Important addition.

[finninsanelycoolish-deactivated]

Also if your message is too large for that contact, email in to  Dr. Mark A. Manchin, Superintendent at [email protected].

why saying “trans men are men” as a dismissive statement comparing them to cis men is harmful:

i was first wolf-whistled at 11 years old by a man in a passing car, and was frightened and sick to my stomach. the creeping, sickening dread that comes with realising men are beginning to see you as an object for consumption is terrifying. walking down a dark street with keys between my fingers, being touched suggestively by drunk men at social gatherings, consoling my childhood friend after she was sexually assaulted and trying to help her find the confidence to press charges - these were things i had experienced firsthand through having a “girl’s” childhood and adolescence.

6 months into hormone replacement therapy i continue to experience misogyny firsthand from those who perceive me in my day to day as a masculine woman. i experience homophobia both from those who perceive me (incorrectly) to be a butch lesbian and those who perceive me (correctly) to be a gay man. i experience transphobia from those who can place me as a trans man, who see my high waist and hint of breasts and pubescent stubble and hear a mans voice from my mouth. even when i pass as a man completely i have to be on edge, i cant speak to a cishet man without worrying that he will take issue with however he could interpret my appearance and confront it, potentially violently.

i am a man, but i was brought up as a girl, and that has intimately shaped the way i experience and portray masculinity. denying what i experienced growing up as a “girl” would be essentially denying things that made me into the person i am today. trans men are men, yes, but its a completely different experience of manhood, and equating it to a cishet male experience is not only objectively wrong but also harmful, as it ignores the struggle, isolation & marginalisation that comes with being a trans man

[npcdeath]

not to push this post but i really do want to foster some kind of understanding here bc theres a lot of assumptions and misconceptions about what its like being a trans guy from other people in the lgbt community and its really important to me to try and reduce that

So today this kid yelled Nani the fuck?!? in the middle of a test and I felt compelled to share this to the world.

teachers, share the weird crap your kids have done!

[ralsalot]

I’m not a teacher (yet) but I do work with students and one of them had the nerve to look me dead in the eye and ask me “why would it be a bad idea for me to eat this entire marker?” They’re 11

[official-lyzzystardust]

An 4th grader asked for a high five by saying, “A little slappy to make daddy happy?”

I did not give him a high five.

[myathesleepyoctopus]

A student during break had her head in her arms and was shaking a bit, so i asked the kid next to her whether she was laughing or crying and this 8 year old stared me in the eye deadpan and said “im crying on the inside”

[myathesleepyoctopus]

Wait i take that back, I cant believe i forgot about the time i brought in a small stuffed octopus as a class mascot because why tf not. It was a class of high schoolers and i didnt imagine theyd actually care much, but one student snuck in a snack and gave it to the octopus as a tribute. Which led to other students doing the same thing, until every day there was a pile of of offerings to Fweej the Overseer, mostly consisting of things like string cheeses and small bags of chips, but sometimes there wouldd be a couple bucks in quarters, one kid brought in some giant pocky i think, and at one point there was a cold stone gift card. This stuffed octopus gained a cult following.

Later i brought in another stuffed octopus that looked exactly the same but bigger and told the class that Fweej the Overseer accepted their offerings and became stronger. These highschoolers lost their goddamn minds.

[shieldmaiden19]

Oh my god I love this. Thank you for letting those kids be the dorks all high schoolers are.

When I was teaching English in China one of my kindergartners threw his shoe out the window

[lorem64]

I’m so confused why he would think cookie dough would give him salmonella??? What parent told him this. There’s no chicken in there!

[ankaa-avarshina]

Two words: Raw eggs.

[lorem64]

?? What kind of world do you live in where Raw eggs carry salmonella or are in anyway unsafe

[ankaa-avarshina]

Don’t ask me, ask them Americans. I’m an Asian just passing the word on

[phantoms-lair]

*deep breath* Though the risk is small, raw eggs can carry samonella.

MORE THREATENINGLY Raw wheat can carry E. Coli. However, if you don’t mind making your own cookie dough, you can easily make it safely.

Take your standard recipe. Omit the eggs. Eggs serve as a binding agent to hold the cookie together. Since we’re eating the dough raw, that’s not needed. Take the flour, put it in a pan and bake it at 350 for 7 minutes. Any E. Coli is now dead.

Just mix the rest of the ingredients together as the recipe is called for and BAM, perfectly safe edible cookie dough.

[crayyola-deactivated20220827]

Thank u so fucking much for this wisdom

[antique-scarecrow]

wait you’re telling my i can get E, Coli just FROM EATING FLOUR straight from the bag???

[kingantlion-deactivated20231130]

Why..why are you eating flour straight from the bag?

[just-call-me-ella]

Dear youngins,

When you start a job, WRITE DOWN THE DATE YOU STARTED. Also the date you ended, if it ended. Write down the address. Write down the supervisors name.

You have NO IDEA how many forms this will be on. Seriously. I dont care if you have to email it to yourself on your hello kitty email or something, write it down and keep it. 

[sacredgayometry]

Also!! The date any promotion or pay raise is implemented!!

[intj-confessions]

^^^ They seriously ask for this on so many job forms.

[asidewalksymphony]

Honestly, the best option is to keep it saved in some sort of document on your computer or phone. I use a certain template and just copy and paste it, and refill it every time I go to a new job. Maybe it’ll help others, so here’s the template I personally use.

(Name of the place you’re working at) Supervisor/Boss name: Address: Phone number: Job Title: Starting pay: Ending pay: Reason for leaving: Start (From): End (To):

It’s all shit that you’ll be asked on pretty much any job application. So go forth and be organized kids.

[nicocacolaaa-deactivated2019043]

It’s also nice to keep a semi-updated list of references! I have a word document with job history (which includes info from @asidewalksymphony’s post, as well as a general summary of duties) and one with references. I never delete old references, I just add new ones to the top. I try to update all of this, as well as my resume, whenever I’m about to start or leave a job, or a couple of times per year.

[dalniente]

Remember to ask your references whether they’re willing to be a reference for you!

[amarretto-cowboy]

I’ll never forget the last in person conversation I had with with a woman I was on and off with for years because whenever there was an issue, she would just stop talking to me for months at a clip.

At one point she straight up blocked me and bragged to mutual friends about it. Friends went to me and told me to move on and that it’s her loss. Her and I didn’t talk for 2 years. In that time, I moved on to the point of getting married. Soon after I got married, she popped in to see if I was single still and lost her shit when she found out I had gotten hitched.

She tried to convince me to get a divorce and called me and idiot for getting married in the first place.

The best part… When she asked why I didn’t wait for her to “come around”. I told her she gave me no choice but to move on when she blocked me.

This was her answer: well a block is only temporary. You should have just waited for it to end then hit me up!

Yeah…. I’m so glad I didn’t.

[samael-d-h]

fuck those people who play these games

[rainbowloliofjustice]

People who play these games should be kneecapped

[mahoganydesk]

My dad nearly fell into this trap. He was engaged to a woman who would go silent for a while after an argument. Dad finally told her, “Either you’re by my side or you’re not. I’m not playing these high school games anymore. If you love me, talk to me. Otherwise, we’re done.”

He ended up marrying another woman who never played games with him and helped his better side come out.

This advise can go for anyone out there: if your SO is doing this shit, tell them to cut it out or you’re leaving. And follow through on that threat.

fun language fact!!

“shrek” is the yiddish word for fear

[realsadjewishhours]

Okay but can we talk about this though, we all know the movie Shrek, the big green ogre.

But did you know it’s based of a picture book names, “Shrek!” published in 1990. It’s a book about an ugly ogre (hence the Yiddish work Shrek) goes around to see the world and ends up saving a princess (so almost literally the entire first Shrek movie’s plot). Here’s what it looked like:

Guess who wrote the book? A cartoonist names William Steig.

Guesss what? That’s right he’s Polish Jewish.

Shrek was created by a Jewish person. And, since he’s named after a Yiddish word, Shrek is quite literally a Jewish icon.

Cheers.

[summercrane-deactivated20201109]

best addition to this post everyone else can go home

also, maybe his living in poor conditions outside the rest of the city was indicative of the shtetl? and donkey was a poor non-Jew who had nothing to lose by being friends with Shrek?? The possibilities are endless

[realsadjewishhours]

YESSSS!!!!

[d0llqueen]

Maybe the inclusion of the song Hallelujah (written by Leonard Cohen, also jewish) was more intentional than initially thought?
