I should note that Rocky is Not beating up or throwing the soft rocky into the ocean (tho i totally understand why it looks like that lol). He's just running with it to get it out fo the dome as fast as possible, while also trying to keep it as far from Grace as possible while doing it lol

Also, Grace is safe! The asbestos becomes a problem if it starts breaking into little fibers that he could breath in. Since eridans use it as clothing, they probably do it in a way that it doesn't break down so easily (tho it would over time). But Grace didn't have it long enough for that to be a problem, but they want to get rid of it to make sure

However

At Grace's next birthday

Oh to be so loved that your friends go to all the work of finding a safe material that they can produce for the sole purpose of giving you comfortable touch

[narwhalsarefalling]

Grace: Oh yeah, Rocky, I have a question!

Rocky: Yes?

Grace: What is the material of your clothing made out of? Since it doesn’t seem that you have any wool-bearing animals or cotton-like plants on Erid.

Rocky: Oh, it’s a rock with a fibrous material!

Grace: (Uh oh)

Grace: Uh, what’s the chemical composition for that rock?

Rocky: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4

Grace, doing mental chemistry: So that’s something we call asbest- Uh oh.

Grace, thinking back to the Rocky-shaped weighted plushie he got from Adrian for his birthday last year: Uh Oh.

[narwhalsarefalling]

Rocky: Is something wrong, question?

Grace: I am pretty sure that your clothing can give me cancer

Rocky: Oh-shit.mp3

[narwhalsarefalling]

Adrian: Grace does not like Soft Rocky, question?

Grace: No, no, I absolutely love it. It’s just that Soft Rocky can get me sick if I stay around it too long. See on earth we have this thing called Mesothelioma-

I'm coming to realize how vital it is to keep a running list of shit you did in the past few weeks so that you can participate in small talk. It's literally not anything to do with them being interesting at all it's just having Something to say to give people even the barest thing to hold on to. It's so you don't get into the "what have you been up to" "nothing much what about you" "yeah same" trap. Literally just say something.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?

Like. It's Something. All you need is Something. And if you're like me and your brain immediately goes blank upon entering small talk then keeping a list will help you remember things to say.

I don’t know if this is an obvious take or a hot take, but I think people need to start re-framing feminism as the fight for body autonomy as opposed to whatever this second wave revival gender essentialist bullshit we have going on right now. Once you reframe it in this way, it’s easier to understand intersectionality and why cis women are not the only people who need feminism. The lack of body autonomy effects cis women, trans people, intersex people, disabled people, poc, homeless people, sex workers, etc. and your feminism needs to include and prioritise all of these groups of people (which will include men btw) because feminism is about autonomy, not about establishing a matriarchy. Body autonomy is the biggest threat to the patriarchy, both with reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and even the right to not be drafted into military services. Once body autonomy is established for everyone, the patriarchy no longer has a leg to stand on.

And body autonomy does include things that you don’t personally like either. I was prompted to write this post after a series of bad takes from progressives, but one of them was re-hashing the Sabrina Carpenter album cover drama with “I don’t think it’s conservative of me to think that the album cover is a bad look when we’ve seen images of women being abused in this way” because I do actually think you’ve failed to understand feminism by projecting your morals onto a woman who was consensually expressing her own autonomy just because she expressed it in a way that you didn’t like or that made you uncomfortable.

Body autonomy also means unhealthy choices. Body autonomy also means regret rates. Body autonomy also means freedom of sexuality. Body autonomy also means mutilation. If you believe body autonomy has limitations and exceptions, then your feminism is most likely surface level.

TERFs are some of the biggest opponents to body autonomy, and if you find yourself thinking “oh people can do whatever they want with their bodies as long as it doesn’t harm them or make others uncomfortable” then you are far more susceptible to TERF propaganda than you think.

I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!

This is Linda, 60

Alexis, 64

Helena, 63

Kendrah, 72 (!!)

Tasha, 65

It was deeply healing to me to discover this project. The site has selected photos and attached interviews and it's definitely worth your time. I didn't include any because the focus of this post imo is transfems but there are a lot of beautiful interviews with transmasc people too if you're interested! But that'll have to be another post 💖

for those interested, the photographer is Jess T. Dugan. The link to this particular project is as follows:
