a lot of 'transfeminism' relies on "stop making fun of her, she's literally just a girl!" so here's a shoutout to women who can't defend themselves with that instead. shoutout to women who don't get that choice. shoutout to women who aren't perceived as feminine.

i love you Black trans women. i love you Brown trans women. i love you Indigenous trans women.

trans women above 5'7 or above 5'9 or above 6'0ft. trans women with broad shoulders and big arms and big frames and short legs.

trans women with deep voices. trans women who can't or won't voice train.

trans women who won't or can't take estrogen. trans women who do take estrogen and experience its effects [subjectively] slowly or insufficiently.

trans women who are not comfortable in traditionally feminine clothes. trans women who won't or can't use make-up.

trans women who are not comfortable with or can't have natural, pretty, long hair.

trans women who don't shave or don't have the capacity to shave.

trans women who can't have a 'feminine' strut/style of movement because of mobility issues.

trans women who don't show their emotions on their faces or trans women who experience the "serious" emotions over the "sensitive" ones.

trans women who like dominating sexually and trans women who want to feel like women when they do it. trans women who like being dominant bottoms.

trans women who like men. trans women who don't like women.

trans women who aren't 'girl-mess' or 'deer in headlights' or 'a little dumb' or any of the other stupid little things you're forced to learn to do to be 'coded' as who you are.

you deserve compassion and connection and community even when you "look like a man". you deserve compassion and connection and community even when white, abled, gender-conforming people can't feel bad for you. you deserve compassion and connection and community even when you're not the 'tasteful' type of trans.

reminder for all hockey fans:

netflix is making a hockey show called "the sticks" that is based on a very real tragedy that occured in canada in 2018.

the show follows a minnesota high school team after their bus crashes and coming back to hockey afterwards.

in 2018, the humboldt broncos' (a junior A team made up of 18-22 year olds) bus was hit by a tractor trailer on a highway intersection. 16 people (10 players, 2 coaches, and 4 team staff members) were killed, along with 13 other players severely injured.

the memory of the humboldt broncos crash is an incredibly sensitive subject carrying a lot of trauma to both the survivors, their families, and deceased's families. the trajectory of hockey in canada was changed significantly after this tragedy.

despite this, netflix has decided to make a show using the death of young hockey players for profit. they did not consult the survivors, nor the deceased's families. they stole a canadian story for a feel-good cash grab.

i understand wanting to watch shows about hockey, but this is not the show to watch. do not give it attention, as the humboldt broncos' memories deserve to be theirs and theirs alone to share.

I've had a small part-time gig to pay the bills for a few months. Pay is inconsistent (as in sometimes several weeks late) but it's been something.

But today, I found out that I don't even have that. The business is being sold and it's unlikely they'll keep me on once it sells.

So I'm putting out feelers for help. Again. I'm sorry to keep asking. My disability trial is next month so maybe this will be the last time I have to ask. Please, if you can spare anything, my Kofi is below.

what this fandom needs

What fandom, you ask? All of them. There’s not enough in any fandom.

[lesbiansforboromir]

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

pls support trans girls and trans women who like traditionally masculine things

[nlkjbkhvjucgkyfxjtd]

no seriously please reblog this ive seen so many posts saying to support trans boys and trans men who like traditionally feminine things and those posts are good!! i love them!!

but i have never in my life seen a post saying to support masculine trans girls and trans women or trans girls and trans women who like traditionally masculine things and its really important to understand that showing support for trans women in any form is just as important as showing support for trans men so please, please reblog this.

support trans women and trans girls. support trans women and trans girls who like traditionally masculine things. trans women and trans girls who like traditionally masculine things are not any less valid than trans women and trans girls who don’t!!

Banded bee fly on common yarrow. If you look really closely (third picture especially) you can see a gall midge to the lower right of the main fly, laying eggs in the flowers

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

[snaxle-deactivated20260531]

"dni if you engage with irredeemable media! dni to kill a mockingbird stans" ok well CLEARLY you have never read to kill a mockingbird if you think it's irredeemable media and also having a book that was published in 1960 on your dni stan list is kinda ridiculous actually

[snaxle-deactivated20260531]

i literally do not think any of you have ever read a book published before the 2000s before in your entire life

[snaxle-deactivated20260531]

#'Dni if you've read to kill a mockingbird' what's is this the Florida banned books list #Who r u Ron DeSantis

[snaxle-deactivated20260531]

#can somwone pleasw provide context to whatever the fuck op is referring to

[s-a-blotsky]

You really buried the lede by only mentioning To Kill a Mockingbird

yk I think it would be funny if Lennart could actually read a lot of different languages purely for the sake of diversifying his reading without actually being able to speak in that language

conversationally the best he’s got is doing a terrible accent while speaking English and hoping someone understands. literately he can perfectly understand the themes and depth of a 4000+ page novel as if he grew up with the language. he can write eloquently as if he is some old noble from the country of the language’s origin. it’s just that his speech doesn’t line up with that

I got some fucking things to say

[loveridden1999]

rich people should not be allowed to access, collect, modify or wear ancient artifacts as fashion statements. they're historical pieces that belong in public domains & should remain accessible to everyone. this especially applies to colonial artifacts & jewellery. end of discussion.

[ishimarukiyotaka]

literally the worst way of ending a series is “all the survivors are happily straight married with tons and tons of babies!” 

[ishimarukiyotaka]

people still getting mad at this post i made in 2014 so I will add here. in 2026. that the point of this post isn’t “happy endings bad” its when the story’s only way to imagine a happy ending is a heterosexual nuclear family for everyone.

[shadedtragedysandwich]

My internet is not cooperating and letting me watch the next Digimon Beatbreak episode. I'm mad because it looks like we're getting the story of how Asuka and Kyo met. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THEY MET!!!!!!!!

[shadedtragedysandwich]

It's still not cooperating GAH

[shadedtragedysandwich]

It cooperated on my phone so no liveblogging this week's episode. Genuninely sobbing over Kyo and Asuka's friendship. Also feral screeching because I'm pretty sure my favorite evil ruppee waved hello in the backstory before peacing out. Probably needed to go find Ryo.

BUT HOLY SHIT??? ASUKA HAS A DIGIMON PARTNER THAT IS A GIANT ASS SNAKE NAMED HELIOS-BOAMON?? WHO TURNED THEMSELF INTO THE WHITE CORE FOR SOME REASON???? WHO IS SO COOL BUT THIS FUCKER WHO MANIPULATED MIHARU AND SOUJI HAS FUCKING STOLEN HELIOS-BOAMON AND ASUKA'S PERSONAL WILL AND TURNED THEM INTO A WEAPON??

And Tomoro's the target, because somehow Tomoro's e-Pulse is what can evolve Helios-Boamon into their Ultimate form. Aaaaaaaghhhh.

[shadedtragedysandwich]

Yeah and Chairman Wong can't tell he's being played like a fiddle by the guy who manipulated Miharu and Souji for who knows WHAT fucking reason. I refuse to believe its only because the guy wanted to be a Five Star.

Hope Rose chills out and becomes a better person now. I amm glad she's okay. Poor Lilamon went through hell and managed to keep from devouring her partner's ePulse she is so strong Lilamon.
