do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

This is why aliens don’t want us in their Starfleet.

carebewear

Are you fucking kidding this is why aliens should be begging us to join their Starfleet. The precision?? The CONTROL?? The absolute mastery this driver has over their 20+ ton of steel is superhuman. This person could weave a mothership through an asteroid belt without making a single scratch on the hull. Foh “aliens don’t want us” aliens should be sucking our dicks.

For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner–I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

You know, of everything I’ve drawn, I should have known it would be weed-smokin, rock wieldin, asexual centaur shaggy to stampede off into the sunset; bringing hope, acceptance, and weed to millions in need

Can the people who keep buying High Geologist throw pillows please show me your couches

If you don’t have Nick Cage Blood Pillows alongside it I’ll be very disappointed

I don’t know about pillows, but I use my tote bag every day. Usually for books and such.

Everyone in the household is a big fan.

I’m reposting this with a link to some sources from the OP, btw; I’m sorry for not tagging them, but Tumblr won’t let me and I’m guessing it’s a privacy settings thing.

There is evidence of complex gender identities in Ancient Mesopotamia, particularly in the cult of the goddess Inanna and her priests.

[image description: screen cap of a post by Melissa Hillman. Post text says “The oldest human civilization from which we have written records is ancient Sumer. One thing we know from the copious amount of writing they left -- so much it isn't even all translated yet!-- is that they had a thriving and extremely varied transgender population. Let's get into it:

There were people who were cis men at home but who worked as temple priestesses.

There were full-time transgender temple priestesses sacred to the Goddess Inanna.

There were trans male temple guards, also sacred to Inanna.

The oldest extant signed poem is by a temple priestess, Enheduanna, whose poem extols the many powers of Inanna, which include "turning a man into a woman and a woman into a man."

Sumer had nonbinary people and nonbinary mythical characters.

Sumer had gender-affirming surgery.

Trans people have existed for as long as there have been people.

You're not going to legislate away a human trait.”]

5 Simple Breathing Exercises to Help Kids Calm Big Feelings

Big feelings can show up fast—like a storm rolling in on a sunny day. Whether it’s anger, sadness, frustration, or worry, children often need gentle tools to help them ride those emotional waves. One of the most powerful (and portable!) tools is something we all have: the breath.

Teaching kids to tune into their breathing can help them feel more in control, grounded, and safe. Here are five simple breathing exercises that are perfect for calming big feelings—and fun enough to become a favorite part of your child’s routine!

1. Bubble Breaths

Perfect for: Younger kids who love to imagine and play.

How to do it: Pretend you're blowing the biggest, slowest bubble ever. Breathe in through your nose, then breathe out slowly through your mouth as if you're gently blowing a bubble wand. Try not to "pop" the bubble with a fast breath!

Why it works: The slow exhale sends calming signals to the brain, helping the body relax.

2. Five Finger Breathing (click here to download a printable poster of this!)

Perfect for: Visual learners and imaginative minds.

How to do it: Hold your hand out and spread your fingers. Trace your finger up one side of a finger while breathing in, and down the other side while breathing out. Do this for each finger.

Why it works: The combination of movement, focus, and breath helps center attention and calm the nervous system.

3. Smell the Flower, Blow Out the Candle

Perfect for: Any time kids feel overwhelmed.

How to do it: Pretend there’s a flower in one hand and a candle in the other. Inhale deeply to “smell the flower,” then exhale slowly to “blow out the candle.” Repeat 3–5 times.

Why it works: This playful visualization helps anchor the breath and makes the process of calming down feel safe and approachable.

4. Belly Breathing Buddy

Perfect for: Bedtime or quiet time.

How to do it: Have your child lie on their back and place a small stuffed animal on their belly. As they breathe in, watch the animal rise; as they breathe out, watch it fall. Try for 5 slow breaths.

Why it works: Focusing on belly movement helps deepen the breath and slows the heart rate — both of which support emotional regulation.

5. Box Breathing

Perfect for: Older kids or during transitions (like coming home from school).

How to do it: Inhale for 4 counts. Hold the breath for 4 counts. Exhale for 4 counts. Hold again for 4 counts. (Tip: Draw a square in the air or on paper as you go.)

Why it works: This structured breath pattern is calming and helps shift focus from big feelings to mindful control.

Final Tip: Make It a Habit

These exercises work best when practiced regularly — not just in the heat of the moment. Try incorporating one into your morning routine, after-school wind-down, or bedtime ritual. Over time, kids will begin to use these tools naturally when big feelings arise.

🧘‍♀️ Just Imagine... breathing your way to calm, confidence, and joy.

hey just a heads up, oreo is doing this as a distraction so you won't notice the boycott on oreos and their parent company, mondelez. along with Nestle, and proctor & gamble

they're being boycotted because the harvesting of palm oil and sugar cane for their products, like oreos, kit kats, smarties, ritz, herbal essences, pantene (products being boycotted) is all harming the indigenous Melanesian communities of West Papua New Guinea. the way that these products are being harvested is straight up ecocide. the communities' rivers are poisoned. their forests are being cleared with nothing left

we NEED to care, boost the power of the Melanesian communities, speak up about it, and save their communities and this earth.

you can make oreos at home y'all

Hi! What are your thoughts on INFP/ISTP relationships? Objectively speaking?

[see this post for relationship tips]

INFP (Fi-Ne-Si-Te) + ISTP (Ti-Se-Ni-Fe)

Potential for Conflict:

Fi v. Ti: ISTPs lack Fi so they are really not in touch with their inner selves especially in terms of feelings, emotions, opinions, etc. This makes it easy for people to project emotions onto them, which INFPs tend to do. ISTPs like to “fix” things but INFPs are not necessarily interested in being “fixed”. With both being introverted there is a risk of the two becoming too distant as they are tempted to retreat to their separate corners when things get difficult.

Ne v. Se: INFPs might want to help ISTPs reach their potential but ISTPs might rebuff such attempts because they are generally content with themselves. ISTPs like to enjoy the moment but INFPs find it hard to do that because they often have a lot going on inside.

Si v. Ni: INFPs sometimes use Si to dwell in the past and withdraw into defensive brooding. ISTPs sometimes use Ni to pick apart external structures, distrusting institutions that “control” people and feel the need to rebel defensively. If both are using the tertiary function defensively, it would be hard for them to connect with each other.

Te v. Fe: INFPs tend to resist external structure and controls, which is a sentiment ISTPs could share in. In a way, both tend to feel like lone wolves. ISTPs are not very aware of how to meet people’s emotional needs, which might seem a bit cold or neglectful to INFPs.

Both like to keep their options open and this could lead to a messy or chaotic daily life/routine.

Opportunities for Growth and Balance:

INFP: Realize that ISTPs are generally laid back and low maintenance so do not blow things out of proportion if they are inexpressive. Although it might be difficult, express your needs as clearly and as matter-of-factly as you can because ISTPs want to have a good relationship but sometimes they do not understand what you want from them. ISTP: Realize that INFPs need some outward display of kindness and acceptance or they might jump to the wrong conclusion about how much you care for them.

INFP: Give ISTP their space to explore their interests. If you can, learn about their interests and share in them if it’s okay with them. ISTP: Give INFPs space to process things but show that you are concerned for their well-being by asking if they are okay or need to talk, and respect their response. Do not follow the urge to “fix” things for them.

Both types need to learn to communicate their needs better, especially before emotions become overwhelming. INFP: Instead of brooding, try to talk out your feelings. ISTP: Listen openly and nondefensively, without criticism. Share your thoughts or concerns about life and INFPs will feel you are building intimacy.

INFP: Listen when ISTPs try to give you advice about how to be more realistic or logical. You don’t have to follow but keep an open mind because they are just trying to help you. ISTP: Keep an open mind when INFPs talk about how you could do better; they see the best version of you and hope you can live up to your potential; they are not necessarily trying to change you or control you. Also, if they feel very strongly about something, do not argue with them because you are likely messing with their deeply held values. Just validate them by saying you are trying your best to understand their position.

Both of you need to pay more attention to practical life in terms of keeping schedules, doing chores, fulfilling responsibilities, etc. Try to make life run more smoothly for each other.

Since you’re both introverted, you’ll need to make a joint effort to get out more. Perhaps participate in more group activities so you can make mutual friends. Don’t just hide out together all day long.

legitimately my first feminist awakening as a ten year old child was realizing that girls were expected to respect “boy stuff” but boys were never expected to respect “girl stuff”

justsomeguycore

my science fair project in fifth grade was basically i had this printout of a bunch of toys that were stereotypically boy toys and girl toys, and i would have my classmates study the sheet for some short period of time, idr if it was like 30 seconds or a minute or whatever, then put it away and had them recall to me as many toys as they could remember. my hypothesis was officially that boys would remember more boy toys and girls would remember more girl toys, but secretly in my head i knew that girls would probably remember boy toys and girl toys relatively equally but boys would still remember mostly boy toys. and that ended up being the case. and i still remember this 20 years later because it hasn’t fucking stopped. and you know what they didn’t even like my project. participation ribbon. i was a fifth grade feminist theorist and no one cared

justsomeguycore

well i was not expecting the notes on this to say the least so i just want to add that the reason i was thinking about this again is because it’s a perfect introduction to how transphobia that transmasculine people experience is different from transmisogyny. the idea of people who were assigned male at birth doing “girl stuff” ie transitioning and being women is a different level of abhorrent to people whose worldview depends on biologically essentialist gender roles. why the fear of trans people boils down for many bigots to the “men in dresses” stereotype. the wave of feminism that now allows even cishet women to commonly wear pants didn’t have a mirrored rise in cishet men wearing skirts for some reason. and it’s exactly this. and that’s why i need fellow transmascs to understand that like. transphobic discrimination or microaggressions that trans women face are often ones we don’t.

like going back to the example of children and their interests, no matter what people think of tomboys, which i’m in no way saying is always approving, there at the very least still exists a concept of the tomboy: a child assigned female at birth who is into stereotypically male stuff. there’s no word for a child assigned male at birth who is into stereotypically female stuff. there’s just slurs.
