[wonderlace19]

Adhd is completely different than bipolar disorder. Bipolar is one minute feeling extremely disneyland levels happy to sobbing your eyes out. Adhd is trying to focus on one thing like class lessons to have 30 minutes go by and realize you don’t know what the fuck is happening

[forsakenmess]

That is absolutely not what bipolar disorder is. Please go read up on it. No one is feeling manic one minute and depressed the next. The cycles can last months to a year at a time and there are extended periods of neutral mood in between.

[gentlecourse]

thats not true that no one is feeling manic one minute and depressed the next. there are mixed episodes.

[unadulteratedprincessking]

as someone with both adhd and bipolar disorder im begging yall to please learn what the fuck your talking about before you say anything i-

[phantomrose96]

Hey so I know Toph can’t read in canon and like okay, checks out, makes sense, she’s blind and her parents sheltered her from everything so no one taught her to read okay. But I think if someone DID teach her she absolutely could learn. Pen tips leave indentations on paper. Toph can sense the tiniest contours on things, including ants in the dirt, so why not physical marks in paper? And the paper wouldn’t even need to be in view. Wouldn’t need to be facing her. Wouldn’t need to be OPEN. Just would have to be near enough with enough vibrations running through it for Toph to feel it out.

Like, imagine a post-series coup against Zuko being thwarted because the unopened, un-tampered-with, unintercepted letter correspondence between two conspirators was transported via a letter carrier boy who came within 20 feet of the Avatar’s earth bending teacher and she read it.

The Avatar’s blind earth bending teacher.

[jheselbraum]

In Legend of Korra, Toph can see what’s happening literally anywhere on the planet (at least as long as she’s in the swamp). So later in life she could potentially just know everything. Ever.

[despazito]

vegans who refuse to even eat backyard eggs….why

[despazito]

people who think its unethical to eat chicken eggs are like people who think bees should keep all their honey. they literally produce more than they need and your unwillingness to even buy local means you are doing nothing to help them, support your small farmers you heathens

[feminist-james]

This is not true.

1) honeybees do not produce “extra honey.” And beekeepers don’t take some of the honey, they take all of it.

2) chickens have been artificially selected from naturally producing eggs once a month to producing eggs every couple of days. Their bodies are not sustainable and the health complications of this rapid egg production kills chickens.

[spoonfulofwhoopass]

Hey idk who like. Lied to you about the way honey farms work, but could you stop spreading misinformation? Are you a beekeeper?

Because I am!

Beekeepers make sure hives are fed before there is pollen in the air, protected from predators and the elements, and have enough honey to sustain themselves. We don’t take all of it.

But overproduction of honey leads to stagnation in the hive. It puts stress on the queen to lay eggs, and when they inevitably fill up all their space with honey (instead of filling up the multiple empty, clean boxes of frames beekeepers might put on top of the main hive box), the queen can get so stressed she dies. If there’s a spike in the weather and the hive hasn’t prepared new queen brood, that’s it! The colony is dead. Because there wasn’t enough space for eggs and honey in the hive.

Beekeepers take excess honey. We are constantly monitoring the state of the hive, checking for parasites, analyzing the eggs for diseases, and making sure they are fed and healthy (usually with sugar water and pollen substitutes until they have made enough honey to sustain themselves in the early spring months). If a queen dies prematurely, we make every attempt to replace her to save the colony.

I know there’s an urge to patronize everyone who works in the farming industry, but try to understand the differences between small scale agriculture and industrial farming. There IS a difference. And stop spreading misinformation.

If you’re this passionate about ethical consumption, look into some of the ecofeminist research on non-hierarchal interspecies relationships (working on building animal-human relationships in a non exploitative way).

But yeah! Stop spreading misinformation! Please 🐝

[fslut]

Also if I can harp on the chicken part?

Yea Chickens are some of the most abused animals on big factory farms and I’ll be the first to admit it’s criminal and more needs to be done to regulate this.

Yes selective breeding over time has caused an increase in the ammount of eggs produced by chickens and factory farms have some messed up practices to get more eggs from them including forced moutling.

THIS IS WHY YOU SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS AND THEIR EGGS

Many people take to raising their own hens because of America’s immoral treatment of hens in factory farms like you’re not helping the poor chicks by starving these farmers financially you’re just hurting the one people trying to change things and making the OPTION of cage free organic cruelty free eggs even harder to find

[harvestspriteirl]

Yeah, as someone who like… lives on a chicken and duck farm… Coops help keep wild animals out but birds are kinda dumb. And chickens literally do not need to keep the unfertilized eggs! 

Most chickens will sit on unfertilized eggs until they can tell if they are or not… By the smell of rotting egg. Yeah, ew. Farmers can hold that bitch to the flashlight and tell if there’s a baby in there! They know! The eggs are not being abused!

[kuzuryuu-course]

Also, if you separate your cocks and your hens, there wont even be that issue in the first place. Egg-laying is basically chicken menstruation, but unlike mammalian menstruation which is full of blood and dead tissue, chicken menstruation is full of tasty tasty nutrients

[cluckbuck7]

Support local farms! Most grocery stores carry eggs from small, local farms that give hens acres of open pasture and healthier housing.

[jheselbraum]

Also, that “selectively bred to lay eggs more often” thing? Literally just comes from feeding the chickens every day. The chicken’s ancestors would only lay an egg when there was abundant food, so people started feeding them every day to get more eggs. That’s it.

[feministism]

Reading wiki entries for historical trans men…

Dr. James Barry, Albert Cashier, Charley Parkhurst, Billy Tipton, and Dr. Alan Hart could have each written “I am a man and want to be recognized across history as such” and transphobes would still be like… “wow what misunderstood butch heroes… lesbian icons!!!!”

[angelescoffee]

interesting how they… didn’t all write that. across history women have disguised themselves as men in order to escape misogyny cus u couldn’t get anywhere much in life (much less become successful doctors) as women. and anyways, of course a woman constrained by sexism would prefer to be given the privileges of a man. i can’t confirm these women were lesbians, but you cannot confirm they were transmen either. 

[nitrosplicer]

Interesting how… I didn’t argue that women haven’t disguised themselves throughout history. I mentioned specific instances of historical trans men for whom there is evidence to conclude they identified as men and not women. I said nothing against lesbians in my post either, only about transphobes.

Anyways: 

Dr. James Barry had a close relationship with Lord Charles Somerset and was subsequently accused of buggery, which led to a court trial and investigation as homosexuality was illegal. He could have revealed that he was female at any time during the trial to escape condemnation, but he did not. Upon his death, Barry left strict instructions that his body was not to be undressed and he was to be buried in his bedsheets. 

Albert Cashier could not read or write, but lived as a man for 53 years, even after fighting in the uniform of a Union soldier, he maintained his male dress and presentation until he slipped and fell, breaking his hip. 

The indomitable stagecoach driver Charlie Parkhurst lived as a man from the time he was 12, and after retiring, maintained his identity as a man until his death.

Also it’s interesting that you said that I could not undeniably prove any of these men were trans: Alan L Hart was undeniably trans, as he sought out medical transition and pyschotherapy for his gender dysphoria, referred to himself as “one of the fellows,” legally changed his name, lived as a man from a young age, and continued to do so until his death, so yeah, you really can’t say “oh he’s a lesbian,” can you?

[gayknight]

while billy tipton might’ve initially identified as a lesbian, he later transitioned to presenting male full-time. he told his future female partners that he was a man and that his body was the result of a serious car accident. he went on to adopt children, and was known as a “good father”. at the age of 74, he refused to be seen by a doctor when he contracted emphysema, which caused his death. neither his later female partners or his children or friends seemed to know he was trans until he was forcefully outed at death

i’d also like to add

little ax broadnax, a gospel singer who performed in multiple quartets over the years with his older brother. while still living with his family, he was recorded in the US census as male. he was outed publicly as a trans man at death in 1992, having presented as male for over 60 years

[beachdeath]

#when albert cashier had dementia and was in an institution he used to take clothespins and try to make his skirts into pants #regardless of the trouble it caused his caretakers #being a man was so integral to him that even when his memory was shot he clung to his identity with both hands and refused to let it go #our history isn’t big but it’s vital and it’s present and it’s not going anywhere

[drpepper-is-a-woman]

None of these examples even prove they were trans men and not just women finding a loophole in society in order to pursue their goals. Of course they didn’t want to be outed as female, they could have faced jail time or even death. The fact y'all are deliberately ignoring historical context is not surprising but it is shameful.

Women in those times weren’t allowed to practice medicine or be independent from men, and refusing to wear dresses or developing symptoms of dysphoria from being a woman (and most of the time a lesbian) in a society that saw you as nothing but property isn’t surprising.

Y'all are also the ones who keep transing dead people for your fake woke bullshit and it’s so hypocritical. The fact you label dead people with your weird modern context as justification just shows how performative and full of shit you all are.

[nitrosplicer]

I like how you didn’t read the post at all and went right for your only rehashed, tired, ahistorical point, refusing to remember people as they wanted to be remembered. James Barry DID face jail time for refusing to say he was a woman- because he engaged with other men sexually! He could have escaped all of that, but he chose not to. I also like how you’re ignoring how he specified that he didn’t want his body to be disturbed even in death, and how you’re ignoring the fact that Alan Hart sought out surgery and legally changed his documents to male, saying he wanted to be “one of the fellows.” It’s interesting how you keep saying that women weren’t allowed to operate within the field of medicine as your only point, when Barry was a contemporary of guess who, Florence Nightingale. And while you’re continuing on your trajectory of ignoring actual women throughout history, why don’t you remember Deborah Sampson or Emma Edmonds as disguises women who fought during war and then returned to living as women after the war? It’s because you don’t actually care about remembering these women within the historical record. It’s because you’d prefer to ensure that the dying wishes of these men aren’t respected. You’d rather not remember the brave women who also fought in war and worked as doctors, because you don’t actually care about the recorded words from these men, nor about the ethics of historiography, but instead you’re invested in discussions which erase the fact that we do have recorded words from many of these men where they insist on being remembered as men.

“The fact y'all are deliberately ignoring historical context is not surprising but it is shameful.” says the transphobe deliberately ignoring historical context.

[prisonhannibal]

why does anyone in Gotham even bother doing crime like you KNOW the second you leave the bank with the money you just stole Bruce Wayne is gonna be chilling on a bench on the other side of the street in his bat fursuit like “hey bitch u better not be breaking the law”

[just-yet]

because batman never bothered attacking the roots of social problems

Wayne Enterprises has a jobs program for those who are fresh out of prison. He routinely takes major villains with mental health issues to an asylum where professionals are there to help. Or do you just read the fight scenes?

WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BATMAN HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING?

Fake geeks, I swear to god…

The best part is that most of the lore, especially Batman: The Animated Series, gets to a point in Batman’s career when everyone asks the question of why someone would rob a bank in Gotham when they know that if they approached Batman, and coincidentally Bruce Wayne, they could get the help they needed.

That’s the whole point of Batman. Granted there have been modernized adaptations that paint him out to be nothing more than a growling, punching, antihero. But nobody ever said those adaptations were canon or even good. The original Batman comics, most of the newer comics, the Animated Series, the animated spinoffs, even the Arkham video games all operate under the lore that Batman does everything within his power to help as many villains as he can, even if it means going against cops, politicians, etc. That’s what originally made him the vigilante. He went against the social norms. He did everything that a hero shouldn’t do, not in a murderous way, but in a taking-sides way. Every other hero swoops in to save the corrupt politician from the criminal. Batman swoops in to save the criminal from the corrupt politician. 

[bowditch]

[sashibunbun]

Like seriously he tries

Hell of the three big villain groups, two love the desperation in Gotham. One because they live on making sure they can recruit from the poor, the other because they literally want power to remain in a couple of families’ hands.

And by the by, most of the people he goes against end up in Blackgate “Discount Sing Sing” Prison, not Arkham “literally cursed land” Asylum.
