a new kind of angel has come to earth it's called transgender woman in her 30s

[mousidy]

for a transgender woman your 20s are for struggling and suffering and clinging to the tiny scraps of joy you've foraged. they're for watching your life burn down and then rebuilding it and watching it burn down again and wondering if it will ever stop burning down. it doesn't feel like it will ever end, but after lying in your despair enough times you will start to notice that the scraps you've been collecting are forming a modest little pile. and, though you're left again with nothing but those little gold flecks, they are what will form into your halo when you turn 30

[mousidy]

I love you

[monidoll]

i really wish it was viable to make everyone else do ears training instead of me having to do voice training

People don't get that non passing trans women are not seen as men, they are seen as non passing trans women and are treated the way they are according to the social script for trans women, which is transmisogyny.

[dracoj]

what they dont tell you about adulthood is that it’s startlingly easy to go long periods of time without having any fun at all not even a little bit. btw this causes ur brain to try to kill you with knives and hammers.

[kirikomamura]

schizophrenic TMA agere girls being treated kindly is one of the best signs you're in a good place online

[kirikomamura]

its so fucked that the canary in the coalmine for this has a 1:1 overlap with "sweetest people ive known"

tumblr staff will let the thousands of porn bots on here run rampant yet will take down trans comics with no actual nudity

i originally reblogged this post, but since staff took it down you can't fucking see my reblog anymore. well i liked this comic, i want it on my blog, and it does not include any fucking nudity. especially compared to all the straight up porn staff allows to go free

so here it is

people like the idea that there is an identity they can claim that will absolve them of the responsibility to examine their beliefs and actions and adjust them accordingly to better align with their values and desired outcomes but there isn't, we all have to practice humility and do the work regardless

A lot of people get defensive about queers protesting for long covid accessiblity at pride using the pink triangle

Long COVID Justice on Instagram: "For Long COVID Awareness Month, ACT UP NY and Long COVID Justice are continuing to partner up to highlight

1,456 likes, 5 comments - longcovidjustice on March 21, 2024: "For Long COVID Awareness Month, ACT UP NY and Long COVID Justice are continui

But lookie-lookie who's behind the push for the symbol in conjunction with queer organizing around long covid! Act Up NY has been a proponent of covid caution since 2020, first for HIV/AIDS patients who are at high risk of death from infection, then for the shocking number of queer people affected by the lingering post-viral illness. They even host the covid-safer pride guide zine on their site! Do a little research before you freak out, please, and show this to the people clutching their pearls about "misusing" the symbol.

there is no nursing shortage btw. just a shortage of nurses willing to work under the terrible, unsafe conditions created by capitalists 👍

[meangirlnurse]

how to solve the nursing shortage:

mandatory patient-to-nurse ratio laws modeled after the laws in California

pay nurses more

🤷‍♀️

[meangirlnurse]

perpetuating the myth of a "nursing shortage" only benefits the healthcare administrators fucking us over, giving them an excuse to claim that they can't help but short staff the hospitals because there just aren't nurses to fill those roles

nurses literally make up a full 1% of the US population. there is no nursing shortage

[meangirlnurse]

3. also unions

[dizzyghoast]

brain, heart: idiot bitches who never know what they want

stomach, genitals: idiot bitches who know exactly what they want and never shut up about it

lungs, kidneys, liver: pretty chill organs, all told. if these ones are complaining then i'm usually the one who fucked up

This should never have been a thing

[the-supernatural-atheist]

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

[the-supernatural-atheist]

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

[makaeru]

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

[marzipanandminutiae]

this is exactly why I love talking about historical passive heating and cooling techniques

oh wow the glass-tower office buildings we constructed when we thought air conditioning and central heating would never have downsides...have downsides?

and we're still building them?

while the Victorian house museum where I work, with thick walls and small windows and big wooden shutters stays ~10 degrees above (winter) or below (summer) the outside temperature for days on end with no help at all?

uh. okay then

(also public transit. the history of public transit in the US is infuriating, because we had it! and then we destroyed it!)

[headspace-hotel]

THIS IS SO TRUE

[headspace-hotel]

in some cases it goes back to colonialism. colonizers trying to put a certain aesthetic that was thought of as more valuable or attractive in a place we were trying to force to be the way we wanted.

Trying to import a new culture, and replace the old culture, bringing in the architectural ideas of the old place. ignoring the local climate and ecology

[torstherapy]

[headspace-hotel]

was in the car with family pointing out all the empty lawn spaces around homes businesses churches etc that are used for nothing and could be replaced with wildflowers or vegetable garden or some other important ecologically functional and enjoyable thing easily

[headspace-hotel]

Once you see it, it's impossible to stop seeing it, and it will drive you crazy

[headspace-hotel]

If you go around Google Earth street view you will see that basically no other country wastes space the way USA does. We make buildings and in between them we turn huge spaces of earth into lawn because we can't think what to do with them.

[argumate]

I keep thinking this! very frustrating

[argumate]

fuck!

[our-queer-experience]

i’m sure you guys have heard about kansas invalidating trans ids- just so you know it’s not all hopeless

[our-queer-experience]

hi did you know that trans christians spend their entire lives in faiths that try and convince them that on a cosmical level they should hate themselves and for them this would be emotionally fufilling? hi did you know that kansas is over 70% christian? hi did you know that just because you think atheism is the correct and the only thing that deserves respect that doesn’t mean that this isn’t incredibly impactful and meaningful for many people?

[donniehaspronouns]

reblogging this again to bring up that when my grandma said she didn’t understand trans people, and why would they betray the body God gave them, it would have been 0 help to explain to her all the biological and cultural and societal components to the existence of the concept of gender and trans people. You know what did make her pause and reconsider her stance? “Did you ever think that maybe God made trans people on purpose?” And we got to have a conversation about all the interesting things God has made so why wouldn’t God make trans people? And she came out of the conversation with more grace and understanding.

[headspace-hotel]

I don't think it's the truth that "biology" created trans people or makes them valid... it's true in the sense that we are ultimately made out of biology, but biology doesn't stamp something "Valid" or "Invalid," it simply is, transcending our ability to categorize it in uncountable ways

it seems like the screenshotted statement is trying to argue against god but making biology into something like a creator god that grants things reality.

i don't know how quite to express it...
