when you ask people to stop engaging in harry potter fandom they act like you've asked them to pull the plug on their own ventilator after murdering their entire family in front of them. like holy shit my bad i didn't realise that you formed emotional attachments that were that unhealthy

[makesoneteam]

"but it was my childhood" okay cool you're an adult now "but i love it a lot" okay cool there are other things to love "but it helped me through a hard time" okay cool you can find other ways to cope "but my ship/my character/my fic/my fanart/my--" someone has asked you to stop engaging with a woman's intellectual property because that woman is actively contributing to the literal genocide of trans people in her country and beyond. her actions have emboldened murderers, legislation meant to deny life-saving care, and ruined livelihoods and safety of many people. what could possibly be more fucking important. truly. i get that it's hard to let stuff go, because it is. it's very fucking hard, especially when you love something very deeply. but your personal struggle letting go of a comfort blanket is never as important as someone else's life, and that's the point we are at now, and if you are not listening to the trans people in your life and beyond that are whistleblowing this, you have blood on your hands and i will not help you wash it off when you finally look down and notice it

Pause the deltarune posting this is so funny

[ratbastarddotfuck]

really not sure when it happened or why but personally I'm pissed that the queer community at large seems to have given up ground on the "people with penises/vulvas/testes/ovaries" language to sex & gender essentialists in exchange for the much less precise, much more demeaning "AGAB" language.

is it because you're scared of the word vulva? of acknowledging out loud that some people have penises? of recognising that many many people, including but certainly not limited to trans people, have mixed sex characteristics that cannot be accurately summarised by "afab/amab" as shorthand for "female/male"?

"in [GENITAL RELATED] situation AFABs will need to do X and AMABs will need to do Y" there are "afabs" with penises and "amabs" with vulvas. Saying this shit makes you look so unserious & honestly transphobic (given the ongoing erasure of post-op trans people within broader community). Intersex people and GRS have both existed for long enough (fucking forever and, decades, respectively) that we should well past making this basic fucking mistake.

quit referring to people by a vague & often violent event that happened at their birth as though it defines ANYTHING about how they & their body currently operate, and start using precise language so you at least look like you know what you're fucking talking about.

i agree, and will add:

do NOT say 'people with a vulva/vagina" when you talk about PERIODS AND BIRTH CONTROL. the term you want is FUNCTIONNING UTERUS.

lots of trans women and transfem people (including intersex ppl, *including cis women*) can and do get bottom surgery. the procedure in itself does not make actual-blood-loss periods happen, though, because long-lasting uterus transplant is Not A Thing (yet?) and *the blood comes FROM THE UTERUS*. if it's about *side effects* related to *hormones* (so, not punctual iron deficiency, bc that's linked to the blood loss…) then… it's about HORMONES. again, not external(ish) physical characteristics like a vulva or vagina!

agab language can be useful and appropriate in some contexte, but when talking about medical stuff, PRECISION is indeed what we need. and "assigned gender" is anything but that.

[ratbastarddotfuck]

DING DING DING we have a good addition to the post!!!!!!

precision is key.

"estrogen dominant" and "testosterone dominant" endocrine systems are also useful terms, especially when interfacing with doctors.

i can’t allow myself to think too much about sensory differences on the erid road trip or i throw up and die. grace can look out at the stars any time he wants. if he wants to fuck around with his telescope, grace can see erid and grace can see earth. grace has a sense of place. for rocky, however, the universe is four rooms wide and there are two people in it

Florida Man Finds Easy Way to Stop Flock Cameras From Working Right

A Flock of issues. The post Florida Man Finds Easy Way to Stop Flock Cameras From Working Right appeared first on Mandatory.

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like

[theswisscheeserag]

And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

[theswisscheeserag]

And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions

Hey guys sorry my actual only evil and vile reason for the Stelladenti /Spacemer Au was for a PHM crossover. Yeah. It's true /j

[allmightyscroll-art]

HEY GUYS LOOK BEHIND YOU (turns your fav into a space merperson)

In other news. ISAT cast but the party are astronauts on a space station and Siffrin is a fish alien that swims through the vacuum of space and craves companionship

And perhaps the alien communicates through radio waves / vibrations and eats stars

I believe authors should be cryptic and unhelpful in the interpretation of their own work or even act like they’re dead and never comment on it ever
