"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs

I am so thankful that books & reading exist

me, aged 12, reading about a 17 year old character: omg that's so mature.

me, aged 19, reading about a 17 year old character: that's a BABY.

the reason that wounds that break the skin hurt is because its always supposed to be dark inside your body and when your blood sees sunlight for the first time it gets scared. and that causes the pain. or maybe it doesnt

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

[aromanticduck]

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

Ya know what, that's it. I'm taking the term 'media literacy' and am putting it on the tippy top shelf until some of y'all understand that someone not agreeing with your interpretation of a text does not automatically make them media illiterate. You are not the arbiter of the meaning of every piece of media you engage with. People can disagree with you and still understand what they read just as well as you did. It's why people are still discussing thousands year old texts for the love of god! If there was one definitive, correct way to read every piece of media with every other interpretation being a sign of media illiteracy, we would not have scholars dedicating to their lives to the study of works like the Shakespeare plays, the Greek epics, classics in general, and then discussing (or sometimes arguing about) their oftentimes contradicting reads of those texts with each other.

they should legalize polyamory. everywhere. and im not kidding at all. if someone wants to marry multiple people they should be allowed to. for any reason.

[transfutch]

before anybody tries to say some bullshit about this, extending the definition of marriage to include multiple people would give members of religions forced into abusive polygamy the same rights any divorcing spouse would have without putting them at risk for being charged with bigamy. this would make it easier for people to leave abusive plural marriages.

[flipocrite]

Once again, the best way to protect the exploited is through regulation, which cannot be done without legalization.
