IT’S DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH YALL
BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY DISABLED AND TAKE UP ALL THE SPACE AND TIME YOU NEED!!!!!
I feel like I used to see trans guys talking about packing way more than I do now, even as jokes or whatever. I'm worried that some of you guys don't think you're allowed to pack, or don't even think to try it. Bottom dysphoria can be sneaky and I went years not realising that's what I was experiencing even as I was medically transitioning. Packing and being able to touch and feel my dick for the first time is what allowed me to realise I'd been yearning for it forever.
You DON'T need fancy packing underwear. Any men's underwear which has a little open pocket at the front will suffice. I got mine at kmart for $10.
You DON'T need an expensive packer. You can use a pair of socks, you can use a squishy toy, you can use a strap-on or dildo (my personal preference when just at home, though i have a soft packer for leaving the house), there are also knit and crochet penis patterns all over the internet (breast forms too, for the curious). If you use a hard toy you can play with it like an erect penis—you might be surprised at how gratifying it feels to stroke your own hard cock with your own hand or a stroker toy, especially if typical forms of masturbation or genital intimacy are difficult for you.
You're allowed to want a penis!!! You're allowed to use a prosthetic cock!! Everyone should try it if they're even a tiny bit curious!!!!! I love you!!!!!!!
girlcock on tdick frotting reblog if you agree

that photo is one of the sexiest things i have ever seen.
Tall women don’t you ever feel insecure, you hold so much power with just a simple stance, I love youuuuuuuuu
For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.
Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.
Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

Reject the idea that there is such a thing as high art and low art!!! Read smut! Write horror! Watch low budget shorts! Listen to a local garage band!!!
Read challenging classics! Write poetry!!! Watch foreign films!! Listen to experimental music!!!!!! Let a thousand blossoms bloom motherfucker!!!!!
I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.
Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.
Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.
It can not always be about your preferred topic.
You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.
i don't wanna be a cry baby but like, going outside and socializing and healing and reconnecting with people and the world has done wonders but-
I realized I've *ALWAYS* was a dark skinned black person, it's just that going outside less and less from depression and crippling social anxiety and fear from many factors caused me to stay inside and overtime lighten up/dull out.
recently I went outside for a week and realized I am dark skinned/got my proper skin tone back and I want to cry because this is what my body was meant to look like and that complexion is really pretty.
i was darker in my old school pics but I got lighter cuz of not going outside from living in a abusive situation but moving out and enjoying life caused me to fucking get my melanin back 😭
this is awesome
I HOPE I CAN MAINTAIN MY DARK SKIN YAY I LOVE HAVING DARK SKIN
like I'm trying to not cry because this is just what I always looked like and depression and assimilation during highschool stripped that away, but adulthood is making me realize I am a pretty black boy :>
SERVICE DOG PSA
So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)
I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up
If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help
Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him
do you live in seattle (the american city)?
yes
no
please reblog to get this poll out of my bubble, i want reach
so ive been meaning to do this poll for a while because my hypothesis is that seattle is the most Tumblr city, likely in the entire world. tumblr has a huge american majority userbase obviously, but just for comparison going forward, only 0.22% of the american population lives in seattle. as of this reblog, this poll is showing 4% of respondents are seattleites. given, this isnt scientific at all, because my blog just has a lot of seattle connections and seattle followers, but it's still an impressive bias
can we bring back the term "fair-weather friend" bc I feel like if fair-weather friends got called that more this whole argument about whether or not you should be there for your friends when it's inconvenient/at what point of personal inconvenience it's ok to bail on your friends would kinda fall apart bc like. we literally have a word for "friend who's only there when you don't need something from them" because the baseline expectation is that a friend should be there even when it sucks. like we used to make fun of people for bailing on their friends.

“make yourselves impossible to ignore. 10,000 signatures on twitter is a lot but 10 unique personal emails is enough to derail an entire council session.”
I was in a city council meeting last week about defunding the police and one of the council members mentioned multiple times that she’d been inundated with calls and emails all that day saying to defund the police.
[ID: Two screenshots of a twitter thread by alex flanigan, anti-fascist @Coff33Detective from June 12, 2020 beginning at 11:25 AM that reads: hi! i work in local government and community management, and i’m here to tell you a secret: it is like, really, really easy to overwhelm the people who work in your local government. especially right now. especially on things they can actionably do or impact.
you may not know this, but i bet your city or town or municipality has a website. i bet that website has some contact forms or email addresses on it. i bet you can use them to put together a message in about 5 minutes! i bet it’s almost as easy as signing a national petition.
which is to say: i’m noticing, like most other people, that the national level discussion on really important and long overdue issues is flagging. but the internet and news cycle is not the only battleground, and you will be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to—
—fight those battles at home, on your own turf, with much more immediate impact, and they are so, so important.
I am begging you: make my job, and the jobs of people like me, difficult right now. flood us with demands. make yourselves impossible to ignore. 10,000 signatures on twitter is a lot but 10 unique personal emails is enough to derail an entire council session. End ID]
I’ve been a city council observer with the League of Women Voters for nearly a year, and I have witnessed the following:
A few guys voicing their anxiety about speeding on a street where their children play and suggesting a radar speed sign. Despite catching all of two meetings where this was mentioned, I walked back home one day and–yep–there was a radar speed sign up.
A persistent force of 3-5ish loud residents coming to zoning and council meetings because they did not want a drive through style restaurant moving into a particular area where there were already major issues with traffic congestion and safety. This eventually resulted in a Chik-fil-a having its planning proposal shot down by council such that the lot is now likely to house an Aldi. I am getting low cost groceries instead of bigotry chicken in my neighborhood because of a D&D party’s worth of regular speakers.
A turnout of residents shouting down an attempt to reduce the amount of funding for the community Juneteenth celebration until Council backed down. One meeting. Roughly a dozen people + their kids speaking about the significance of the holiday. The celebration ended up having its full funding restored.
In my experience, it is incredibly easy to bully local politicians and get some sort of results, especially in small municipalities. If you have something that you want to see happen at the local level, seriously try to contact your local officials and see what you can make happen.
I single-handedly got them to double the number of chickens you are allowed to keep in my former town.
I used to cover town meetings for a local online news site, and the number of town issues that went essentially uncontested was a little astonishing. The Select Board would invite public comment on something, and 9/10 times the room would be either empty, or have a half-dozen people present for something else.
It took like 1 ACLU rep to stall out Automated License Plate Readers in town for the two years I was there with simple questions about how the data was used and stored. The Local PD has a grant for the cameras that they never used.
In the like 13 years since, apparently one local realty company in a rich part of town got some Flock cameras, and people are trying to get them removed. It was a big local issue, and it took just a few people reaching out to the ACLU about it.
did tumblr delete my post
yeah, they did. I wrote up a big long post about the Trevor Project and the 12 hour charity livestream I'm participating in right now, and they deleted it. twice. We've raised over $50,000 for a legitimate charity but because it helps trans kids it gets deleted from the site
please share this if you can. so many amazing people have come together to make this happen.
if I make these links clickable they'll get deleted so please copy and paste them:
