One little discussed dimension of the spoons analogy is that utensils are not interchangeable. Sometimes Iâve got plenty of spoons, but I canât find the fucking salad fork, and do you know what a pain in the ass it is to try and eat salad with a spoon?
Hey kids here's a piece of actual for real experienced adult advice: don't make songs you like your alarm. Ever. You're gonna Pavlov yourself into hating it or sleep through it and have weird dreams. Don't do that to yourself. Seriously.
Politicians should be paid minimum wage.
They should want to do it because it's a service to their community and the work is fulfilling, not because it makes them money.
They can petition for a raise once a year during their review, but it cannot exceed 25% of their hourly rate.
when twins are stated to be identical in some show but different genders cause the people writing it donât know how twins work itâs like oh rad cool trans. one of you is trans. but also both of you are trans. because when I ignore how twins work for Trans Reasons itâs chill.
Femme lesbians on TV need more aesthetic diversity. If theyâre out and donât have stylistically conservative jobs, thereâs no need for them to dress like conventional TV Hot Girls, and frankly I think it interferes with verisimilitude and authenticity. Whereâs the camp, the playfulness, the stompy boots and experimental hair, the subculture influences, the âtake what you like and leave the restâ attitude to performative femininity, the attempts to stuff as many âfashion trends men HATEâ as possible into one outfit, the candy-colored cartoon character vibes? Where are the fat femmes of any description?
All trans people are not either transmasc or transfem and I need some of you to destroy that binary in your head, please and thank you.Â
Image Description: A reblog by @dreary-giraffeâ with tags reading:
âi thought transmasc and transfem just meant your starting gender. transmasc are just afab trans ppl and transfems are amab trans ppl? like. if ur nonbiney youâre still one of them.. itâs just what itâs called or idk. maybe thatâs not what this means lol-maybe this is abt being intersex and iâm just dumâ END ID
With utmost sincerity, @dreary-giraffeâ: this isnât you being dumb. Plenty of people do use transmasc to mean afab trans people and transfem to mean amab trans people! But this wasnât specifically about being intersex, though a big issue of mine with people using transmasc/transfem like that is the fact itâs intersexist.Â
What I mean is that just because someone was AMAB and trans doesnât mean theyâre transfeminine. Transfem is a term for a trans person whose gender relates to or even relates their gender presentation to feminimity, in some form or another. Itâs not even AGAB(Assigned Gender At Birth) specific!Â
Not all trans people who were AMAB identify with feminimity, or want to be called transfem. And vise versa for trans people who were AFAB. By separating trans people out into these two categories, with assigned genders at birth attached, not only is it intersexist as fuck, but itâs transphobic and just creates another gender binary that tons of trans people donât fit into.
Some people like to use terms like transandrogynous or transneutral but people shouldnât have to specify which type of trans person they are or any intimate details about their gender at all just so that people donât decide for them whether theyâre a âmasc or femâ trans person.Â
This isnât me saying transfem and transmasc are useless or should never be used or something. But separating all trans people into masc or fem is not only playing by our oppressors rules but isolating those of us who donât want to be attached to our AGAB or constantly labeled as feminine or masculine. So, I guess Iâm saying keep us in mind. And stop using binary language to talk about our community when weâre diverse as fuck. Youâre going to meet all kinds of trans people and youâre going to have to be ready for us not to fit expectations, whether thatâs transfem or transmasc or transgender or transsexual or nonbinary or GNC.Â
i love you my fellow disabled people. i love you i love you i love you. your pace is perfectly okay and you deserve people who respect your needs. your accommodations are not too much, you are a human who deserves comfort like everyone else.
the world is so frustrating and iâm sorry. but iâm proud of you because you work harder than anyone else. and on the outside that may not be seen by abled society, but i see and believe you. itâs okay if you want to rest today.
The inherent violence of buildings you have known being destroyed. Iâm not saying this from an activism perspective, Iâm talking about the shock to the system and the incomprehensible nature of a whole building simply not existing anymore. Rooms that you will be unable to visit again or make more memories in. Itâs like a death. And we very rarely hold funerals for it. Am I making sense? I feel like iâm going crazy

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? Itâs cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.

The lungi is a traditional garment worn in many southern states of India. It's different from the dhoti, in that it is a tubular shape (like
Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

Itâs only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.
I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.
oh my god
Omg Iâve been looking for this post for ages
Heat index was 110 degrees so we offered him a cold drink. He went for a full body soak instead
he accepted ur cold drink!!
actually genuinely if you are going to talk about serious topics you need to say the words for the thing you're talking about
i've seen people talking about abuse and rape spend the whole post saying "@.bus3" and "rpe". People will spell suicide like su1c1de, or just say "unalive" and "aliven't". pedophile is now p*d*ph*le. I get that you have to do that on tiktok, but that's because tiktok takes things down.
If you're going to discuss serious topics on tumblr, please, just spell out what you're saying. Even aside from being terrible for screen readers, it's harder, slower, and incredibly distracting to read a mile-long post about mental health & depression that's desperately trying to avoid the word "suicide". Meanwhile, people who have "suicide" as a filtered word on tumblr will see the post, because when you talk about suicide but say su1c1de or sewerslide or unalived, anyone who has filtered "suicide" because it's a triggering topic to them will now see the post. It is IMPORTANT to use the actual word in your TW tags and in your post. Seriously.
this whole obfuscation of language is really frustrating. like how are we supposed to address very real problems if we can't even name them
my spouse and I watched the mexican episode of great british bake off because we're mexican and we thought it would be funny. the hosts asked if mexico was a real place and none of the contestants had ever heard of pico de gallo. even the judges weren't very knowledgeable about the food they were making. that one lady peeling an avocado like it's a potato. guacamolo. tah-cows.
americans take for granted their proximity to authentic mexican food. look at this bro this could be u
With Halloween just around the corner, NASA has released its latest Galaxy of Horrors posters. Presented in the style of vintage horror movie advertisements. As fun and creative as all three posters are, they're based on real phenomena. đ
Can you hear this exoplanet screaming?
As HD 80606 b approaches its star from an extreme, elliptical orbit, it suffers star-grazing torture that causes howling, supersonic winds and shockwave storms across the planet. Its torturous journey boils its atmosphere to a hellish 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit every 111 days, roasting both its light and dark sides. HD 80606b will never escape this scorching nightmare.
This bone-chilling force will leave you shivering alone in terror!
An unseen power is prowling throughout the cosmos, driving the universe to expand at a quickening rate. This relentless pressure, called dark energy, is nothing like dark matter, that mysterious material only revealed by its gravitational pull. Dark energy offers a bigger fright: pushing galaxies farther apart over trillions of years, leaving the universe to an inescapable, freezing death in the pitch black expanse of outer space.â
Cygnus X-1 Presents:
Itâs Dinner Time and Youâre The Meal!
Lurking in our galaxy, approximately 6,000 light-years from Earth, is a monster named CygnusX-1. This black hole, which has about 14.8 times the mass of our Sun, will stretch and squeeze anything it captures in its immense gravity. Cygnus X-1 is waiting, snacking on its neighboring star. Donât get too close, or youâll become its next meal!
This chillingly haunted galaxy mysteriously stopped making stars only a few billion years after the Big Bang! It became a cosmic cemetery, illuminated by the red glow of decaying stars. Dare to enter, and you might encounter the frightening corpses of exoplanets or the final death throes of once-mighty stars.
Something strange and mysterious creeps throughout the cosmos. Scientists call it dark matter. It is scattered in an intricate web that forms the skeleton of our universe. Dark matter is invisible, only revealing its presence by pushing and pulling on objects we can see. NASAâs Roman Space Telescope will investigate its secrets. What will be revealed?
In the depths of the universe, the cores of two collapsed stars violently merge to release a burst of the deadliest and most powerful form of light, known as gamma rays. These beams of doom are unleashed upon their unfortunate surroundings, shining a million trillion times brighter than the Sun for up to 30 terrifying seconds. No spaceship will shield you from the blinding destruction of the gamma ray ghouls!
These doomed worlds were among the first and creepiest to be discovered as they orbit an undead star known as a pulsar. Pulsar planets like Poltergeist and its neighboring worlds, Phobetor and Draugr, are consumed with constant radiation from the starâs core. Nothing but the undead can subsist in this most inhospitable corner of the galaxy.
This far-off blue planet may look like a friendly haven â but donât be deceived! Weather here is deadly. The planetâs cobalt blue color comes from a hazy, blow-torched atmosphere containing clouds laced with glass. Howling winds send the storming glass sideways at 5,400 mph (2km/s), whipping all in a sickening spiral. Itâs death by a million cuts on this slasher planet!
"tbh we might have clowned on [aros & aces] a lil too harshly" bigotry. the term you're looking for is bigotry. denying communities their vocabulary and ability to safely exist because you think you're the personal arbiter of which identities are "valid" is bigotry. minimizing and infantilizing and harassing entire groups of people based on their orientation is bigotry. aphobia isn't some forgettable phase of being cringe as a teenager, it's bigotry that inflicted long term damage to these communities.
i love 3D glaphics don't get me wrong but it pisses me off that 3D is the AAA standard now, i wish bigger studios were still making more big budget 2D games and shit. shoutout to indie devs for keeping the beauty of it all alive lol
glaphics
glaphics
glaphics
it was on purpose. i know cooler words than all you im not owned. i always say glaphics all the time forever
I hope the Mario movie fiasco helps studios learn that celebrity voicecasts only receive vitriol when theyâre poorly casted and distract from the actual characters and movie.
When you watch Shrek or Megamind you donât spend the whole movie actively aware youâre listening to Mike Meyers and Cameron Diaz, or Will Ferrell and Tina Fey. Fuck it man even when you watch Despicable Me, Steve Carell does a good job of being the character. Chris Pratt is just like himself? Doing an impression of your friend from New Yorkâs dad? And it actively pulls you out of the movie because youâre so aware of that! Good voice actors do the exact opposite and create a believable character and performance!!
Celebrity voice casts are not inherently bad, studios just do not know how to cast them!!! Fuck!!!!!
i also think it says a lot that ryan reynolds did a better job playing actual literal pikachu than chris pratt is doing as mario, a human man
