I think a lot about gaining weight as a form of healing

[kalgalen]

Character: gets a lil bit fat after a life of hardships

Me: groundbreaking incredible life changing

[asimovsideburns]

Character: *gets fatter as a visual indicator that they have let their life collapse / they have let their skills erode and are less powerful than they were before / they have become lazy and complacent*

Me: no! bad!

Character: *gets fatter as a visual indicator that they are allowing themself to enjoy things / they are no longer experiencing previous hardships and dangers / they are generally happier*

Me: YEAH!!!!!

[vangless-mind]

For me, a person who struggles with gaining weight since i was a child, gaining weight always means, in my life, that things are under control and that i have put my shit together, so i hate how ppl like me are almost always invisible and whenever we're cheering for gaining weight we get weird looks like "why are you screaming about how skinny you are, b*tch?".

“Millennials are so entitled"

[lucasnoahs]

Actually, the ‘you’re welcome’/’no problem’ issue is simply a linguistics misunderstanding. Older ppl tend to say you’re welcome, younger ppl tend to say no problem. This is because for older people the act of helping or assiating someone is seen as a task that is not expected of them, but is them doing extra, so it’s saying ‘I accept your thanks because I know I deserve it.’

‘No problem’, however, is used because younger people feel not only that helping or assisting someone is a given and expected, but also that it should be stressed that you’re need for help was no burden to them (even if it was).

Basically, older people think help is a gift you give, younger people think help is an expectation required of them.

Basic Millennial complaint: “I want shelter and economic security.” Some bitter old man: “WHAT THE FUCK? WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU DESERVE ANYTHING? THANK ME WHEN YOU BAG MY GROCERIES FOR ME, PEON.”

Also the form of estrogen they prescribed trans women in the 90s, Premarin, looked like this.

And lest there be any remaining doubt.. remember the blue pill? The pill Neo could have taken to forget the truth, bury his troubles and go back to living a normal life, without fearing a system that wanted to destroy him? The pill that was easy, perhaps cowardly according to some, but comfortable? Here’s Prozac.

For a trans woman in the 90s, where the choice was be safe, suppress, cope, and pretend everything is still how it was, or embrace the danger, accept the truth, realize your full potential, and transition into a world that still thinks you’re a joke and would rather have you dead…. well. The metaphor is pretty fucking clear.

Y’all

Lana came out as a woman after Speed Racer in 2008, and Lily eight years later after the release of Jupiter Ascending (2016), so if you see original home copies of the Matrix (pre-2008), they are referred to as the Wachowski Brothers on it. It was a branding thing, like the Coen Brothers. That’s how they were called, because they were still presenting as male to the industry and the industry sold them as a creative unit.

I remember after Lana came out, the boxes switched to calling them just The Wachowskis, so I imagine now it’s the Wachowski Sisters.

So, yes, they’ve always been sisters, but if you didn’t know that, it’s not your fault. It’s been a long process and I’m glad they did it on their terms in their time.

Before Lily came out but after Lana did they were often credited as The Wachowskis siblings. So some places may still refer to them as such.

I was actually unaware that Lily was also trans so thank you for that info!

This is a good post but it is worth noting as always that they most certainly did NOT come out “on their terms in their time”. Lana was forcibly outed by Buck Angel, and Lily came out when she did in order to pre-empt tabloid press speculation and intrusion into her personal life. We should rightly celebrate them as trans success stories, but that shouldn’t come at the expense of erasing or ignoring the gross transphobia and specifically transmisogyny that they have been subject to.

“Bisexual Panic“

Eu poderia passar horas procurando por fotos bonitas estilo tumblr pra te representar, mas a estética que te define é uma que eu simplesmente não acho em lugar algum. Eu teria que viver contigo todas as cenas que imagino e te perseguir com a câmera pra então ter as imagens perfeitas para todos os textos e contos que você me inspira a escrever.
