[smallerontheoutside]

[spikedru]

girl vampires are so cool we need more girl vampires in general

[spikedru]

and like. girl vampires who are given the same kind of depth as male vampires of reconciling their own monstrous desires with how human they still are or not. and not like. vapid sexy temptresses or whatever. they have their time and place but i want a girl vampire desperately gripping the sink looking into the mirror just to see what isnt there anymore

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

People love simple, extremely practical things. I hope you win!

If the Witches books taught me anything, it's that the mortifying ordeal of being known doesn't mean the person doing the knowing is going to automatically run for the hills. I just got to the line in Witches Abroad where Nanny says 'There was no talking to Granny when she was in that mood', whereupon she left. There's no talking to me in certain moods and it's reassuring to imagine that there's people who may tolerate that and still want to hang around.

(not to say Nanny Ogg is a perfect saint, she has her downfalls too and Granny tolerates her in turn)

I do love the mixed media formats of books and audios for Bernice Summerfield. I wish big finish continued doing this for the Benny range.

Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.

Yeah so anyways, contrary to popular misconceptions and fear mongering spread by bigots, post op trans women's vaginas are amazing actually. 💛

[certifiedsexed]

ID: A screenshot from the Reddit post linked, with text reading:

"So I'm going to refute some of the more popular myths about trans women's vaginas by directly describing my own fully healed experience. (I had surgery several years ago using a fairly standard penile inversion technique that used some spare internal mucosa to supplement the vaginal lining. Recovery sucked, but it wasn't that bad.)

Yes, all the normal parts of vaginal anatomy are present. I have a vulva with clitoris and labia, a vagina, I can pee normally, etc etc etc.

No, I don't have visible scars. Some of us do, but they're usually not prominent, especially after a few years. Internally, thing must look quite normal too, since I've passed as cis during a pelvic exam with a speculum.

No, it's not an open wound and it won't heal shut if I don't dilate. It's not a piercing, it's a vagina. I don't dilate at all, and not only do I not lose depth, but I can take a fist if I want

No, I don't have to wash my vagina out. It has its own flora, so douching would generally be a great way to get an infection; luckily, it cleans itself. Yes, it smells and tastes normal.

Yes, I have totally normal sensation in my vagina, clitoris, g spot, etc. Yes, I can orgasm. Yes, I can self-lubricate. Yes, I have totally normal vaginal muscles (the vaginal canal transects the pelvic floor muscles, that's why you can grip and do kegels, though my pelvic floor is stronger than most through a lifetime of kegels).

No, I'm neither immune nor unusually prone to STIs, BV, yeast infections, or UTIs.

Yes, I can cis pass while having sex. No, I don't pre-disclose before casual sex, though I also tend to meet partners in trans-positive environments.

Yes, everything feels like it "should"; nothing feels out of place or misaligned, unlike before surgery, and really the only surprise was how unsurprising everything feels.

No, I don't miss my old equipment at all. I do enjoy wearing a strap on sometimes, but that's pretty common among wlw."

[papercranesandpride]

I'm a CNA. My job is 90% changing diapers or helping people pee. We see a lot of genitalia. And while I haven't had a trans woman patient yet, I once had a coworker tell me about the time she did, and she had absolutely no idea until the patient told her. And mind you, we work in nursing homes, so this was an old woman. Her surgery easily could have happened 30 or 40 years ago, before recent surgical techniques and innovations. And still, a woman who looks at vaginas and vulvas for 40 hours a week couldn't tell the difference. Anyone who tells you that trans women's vaginas are anything less than amazing is just lying.

It's on the wikipedia page that literal sea people attacked out of nowhere?

[peoplegettingreallymadatghosts]

Never doubt my shitposts again

[ryoastra]

YES YES I FUCKING LOVEEEE THE BRONZE AGE COLLAPSE (well not the actual occurrence but I find it so very interesting) THE SEA PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!

Do you know the weird thing about the sea people??

We don't know for sure where they actually came from. They're just wild guys that came out of nowhere from the sea and attacked people. We don't know if they were pirates, random scoundrels or an organised society. They just appeared, fucked shit up and then disappeared. It's such a cool topic!

snakes really make you appreciate how gross mammals really are. squamates are very dry and clean

a bird is a kind of reptile that has learned to be yucky.
