People on this website are really acting like "she/they" means girl nonbinary (usually with implications of "AFAB who wears dresses") and "he/they" means boy nonbinary (with implications of "AFAB who wears a binder/has short hair") and it's really fucking bothering me as a genderfluid pronoun anarchist so can we stop and realise, AGAIN, CONSTANTLY, that pronouns do not equal gender NOR presentation, nor are they necessarily reflective of someone's AGAB, and can we just. Stop. And think about what we are saying.

And most of this post doesn't even touch on the erasure of amab nonbinary people in the tumblr collective consciousness or whatever. When you imagine your she/theys and your he/theys remember that those pronouns can apply to anyone regardless of agab and regardless of presentation and for fucks sake stop trying to make everything into a binary! You've recreated the binary gendered associations with pronouns that I thought we were trying to culturally depart from, at least in queer spaces, and erased so many people in doing so. Stop! Just stop trying to think of a stereotype for a set of pronouns! Why do you need this so bad?

This Thangka is handpainted by the Nepali Thangka Artist from Bhaktapur, Nepal.

White Tara is peaceful deity sitting in vajra posture above a moon disc and lotus seat she is surrounded by a nimbus of various coloured rings and with pink lotus blossoms.

White Tara’s body is made of light. Transparent, it appears and yet is intangible, like a rainbow, mirage, or illusion.

In this way, her body represents the compatibility of the two truths conventional and ultimate. On the conventional level, she appears and exists.

White Tara conventionally appears, like an illusion, but ultimately cannot be found and is empty of an inherent essence.

She is the goddess of Increase Life and Wisdom. It is believed that White Tara is associated with Avalokitesvara, the god of compassion, and considered his female counterpart.

Cuba is genuinely such an inspiring and beautiful country. It's not just that its people passed a referendum to legalize gay marriage and adoption, but that it came after a year of consultation and modifications by Cuban citizens and activists which made it go way beyond just gay marriage to being one of the most progressive family laws in the world, and was itself enabled by Cuba's 2019 constitutional referendum which was also voted on by its citizens. Cuba is in lockstep with its people and that is why its revolution persists even after 60+ years of sanctions, invasions, and destabilizations by the US empire.

gee i wonder what might cause someone to have to escape from cuba

[pollackpatrol]

i would rather help 100000 fakers than make life harder for a single disabled person

[pollackpatrol]

if making sure that disabled people don’t have to jump through one hundred million hoops in order to receive accommodations means that people start faking disabilities to get those same accommodations, then i think that’s fine. that does not hurt anyone.

i love translations i love the act of translation i love it so so much

[lesbianaglaya]

translation is so fun because people feel so strongly about it and for good reason because ultimately it's all about sacrifice. do you sacrifice form for content? content for mood? mood for form? there are no solutions just compromises. as anthony burgess said, "translation is not a matter of words only; it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture". nabokov referred to a bad translation as giving "the impression that I am witnessing a murder and can do nothing to prevent it". the husband and wife translators of russian novels, pevear and volokhonsky work in tandem, translating and reading and polishing in a process pevear referred to as "raising questions". douglas hofstadter asked multiple people he knew to translate a short 16th century french poem and came back with wildly varying results. to use eliot weinberger's words, "every reading of every poem, regardless of language, is an act of translation" and the actual literal act of translating from one language to another exposes so much about the languages and the author and the translator and the reader of the translation! it's a deeply intricate analysis that expands continuously outward!
