So I follow N. D. Stevenson (comics writer and animator, most famous for Nimona and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) and his husband Lee Ostertag (also a comics writer and animator) on Instagram. When I started following them, they were both publicly presenting as women, and then a few years ago N. D. came out as transmasc nonbinary, and then earlier this year Lee also came out as transmasc. Anyway this is all setup to say that Lee had the chance to make the funniest post of all time and he took it:

Absolutely iconic.

[fearoftheminotaur]

I want to throw in that part of the context behind this meme was N.D. talking about how he sometimes gets hatemail for marrying a man as a former lesbian, and how many people seem to think he divorced his wife.

I have not managed to find anyone who thinks that in the wild, but it is so damn funny.

[siberianchan]

Another wild take is that N.D. is appropriating lesbianism and taking away platforms from queer women when he - then still presenting as a woman - created She-Ra. Because he - then still presenting as a woman and having been socialized as a woman - is nonbinary/transmasc. And thus could not know what it means to be the very thing he presented ans had been socialized as for a large part of his life.

women are like diamonds: synthetically-produced women are not meaningfully different from naturally-formed women, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is probably trying to justify keeping their women mines open

I just had the best encounter with a child at Kmart. I was in the aisle shopping, and this girl and her dad come around the corner. The girl sees me and excitedly exclaims “There’s a human here!!” to which the father replied “Yes, there’s humans everywhere.”

[mandatalks]

It has officially been one year since I met aliens at Kmart and the Kmart in question no longer exists.

[karimitic]

The Aliens took the K-Mart back home with them?

[holeodemony]

THAT WAS MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Literally me!!! Little girl!!! That was me!!! (I’m a guy now but that was me!!!)

Okay for context, long story short,

Our family is really weird. Really weird. We’re not aliens (at least not that I know of although it’d explain some things) and yet I was a weird kid. Normal autistim child. Mom says that I called everyone ‘humans’ which is really funny — shes always told me that humans are humans, and yet you dont have to be human to be a people (example: cats, bunnies, dogs, et cetera — not human, but still people). Aka mom never corrected me because i was right. Of course she also calls humans humans because we are. I still call people humans but yes. Back to story. Went off topic there.

A long while back, like maybe five years ago, I asked mom if I’m anywhere on the Internet, because given how weird our family is, that wouldn’t be surprising.

She replied that yes, she believes so, because she found a tumblr post that happened earlier that day mentioning an alien encounter in K mart. This exact post.

When she saw it, she was really confused, because wait. My child. With my husband (who transitioned a few years back so is now my other mom!!!). Earlier today. At K mart.

She checked with mom and yes, that interaction did happen, they laughed about it and went about their day. When she told me about this a few years back, she didn’t remember what store, only that it doesn’t exist.

Finally, it recently circulated in conversation again, and since mom remembered the name I have found the post!!!

TLDR; I’m the alien, and hi :) we’re doing fine

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say

[vulpineprince]

sometimes the subject of your thoughts is just in this thing

[ablondpanda]

Ah, there it is!

Did you know nonbinary people who were afab and nonbinary people who were amab can have the same genders

[tlirsgender]

Kind of the fucking idea that nonbinary people aren't their assigned sexes, innit

[tlirsgender]

Enforcing the idea that nonbinary people are cisgender women wearing jeans is directly harmful not only in that it's invalidating to nonbinary people afab but because it makes people who were amab think they can't be nonbinary at all, or at least not in the same way as people afab. Which is so fucking disheartening to see. This is not to deny the unique challenges of transfeminized nonbinary people but to draw attention to them; this phenomenon is an effect of transmisogyny

[tlirsgender]

Hey this addition is pretty important context for what I mean btw. Reblog my transfeminism, they

[tumbwr]

not the point of your post, however i found it important to highlight your usage of the terms afab and amab because so many people use them as ‘current’ terms or like static terms or like nouns(?) when they’re describing a point in the past, just as youre using them here.

white people go like “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman evil character as a poc?” and not wait for an answer

white people go “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman good character as a white person?” and not wait for an answer

[junietuesday]

white people can rb but please do not clown

[junietuesday]

white people really cant give a shit abt anyone but themselves unless held at gunpoint or smth huh?

“what about the poor little white kids just trying to have fun?” what about the poor little kids of color made to feel unsafe and unwelcome in a space that was supposed to be fun?

“why can’t poc just make their own redesigns and we can keep these ones” why cant you realize that your actions have consequences and that you should maybe try to not enforce racist stereotypes??

like ofc its ideal to have VARIETY among both villains AND protagonists, its when your characters look like this

that the issue arises

scratch “can”, white people are encouraged to reblog

are the two brothers from supernatural really gay for each other or is that a fan thing

are you really asking me if a network television show from the mid-aughts had canonical gay incest in it

[cav-core]

[shaaknaa]

Supernatural has an episode where Sam and Dean discover the fanfiction about them. One is like, "They know we're siblings right?" And the other nods in a very judgy manner.

It's one of the two episodes I actually watched.

To quote said epislde: "Doesn't seem to matter."
