They should let you vomit a black sludge and when you are done you feel better about yourself. Also the black sludge forms into an evil clone you can make out with.

THANK YOU

Friendly unfriendly reminder that "Ovulation is like an animal being in heat and makes you stupid" has been a keystone of western misogyny pretty much since Europe worked out what periods are.

[atomicwrongs]

Having your interests mocked as a kid and general low self esteem will have you insulting the things you like even when they're generally considered very good. Because you like it, and historically when you like something it's stupid and not worth anyone's time. So you will say nonsense like "I recommend this book/game/film, but it's okay if you hate it, it sucks, I really enjoyed it but that's because I'm an idiot" and you are recommending them the Citizen fucking Kane of that particular media type. And importantly: you need to stop doing this it is killing you

"But what if Donald Trump came out as a transgender woman? That would create a paradox for you leftists, because you wouldn't be able to criticize him anymore."

Actually, I know exactly how I'd respond to Donald Trump coming out as a transgender woman.

Instead of wanting to piss on his grave, I'd want to piss on her grave. It's really not that complicated.

[release-the-sheep]

just witnessed something devastating

guy on the subway with one ear pierced, little gold hoop. other guy on the subway very quickly and subtly googling "which one is the gay ear". it is not the gay ear. visible disappointment on his face as he puts his phone away.

[some-stars]

absolutely wild to me that people are still talking about the gay ear, that was a topic of heated debate among middle school boys in the late 90s and it warms my heart to discover that to this day no one has the slightest clue what the answer is

[some-stars]

it was especially great because at the time, it was very fashionable and sexy for young guys to have one pierced ear, AS LONG AS it was the correct ear. and the correct ear was different depending on location, subculture, ethnicity, which music videos were currently popular, the phase of the moon.... the anxiety must've been overwhelming but it was extremely funny to watch

[untiloblivions]

thinking about “you haven’t met all the people who will love you” and like!!! you also haven’t found all the things that will make you happy!!!! there will always be new authors and musicians and artists whose work you will one day discover and love!!!! there will always be new hobbies and skills for you to learn and feel fulfilled by!!! there will always be new things around the corner that will bring sudden and unexpected happiness!!!!!!!!!!!

[tam--lin]

Everyone needs three hobbies: one to give you carpel tunnel, one to leave you sore and bruised, and one for your distant relatives to insist you monetize

dragon who kisses you with tongue and deletes shinigami eyes from your web browser

[hemipenal-system]

“shinigami eyes is bad?” well i encourage you to draw your own conclusions of course but

[libertineangel]

Completely unsurprising post to be made by a person who consistently refuses to recognise the reactionary basis of the "transandrophobia" movement

Everyone's always very keen to forget that Shinigami Eyes wasn't actually developed to mark transphobes in general but to help aid the online safety of trans women specifically, and shockingly enough yeah you're more likely to get marked red if you explicitly refuse to oppose the trans cohort of Men's Rights Activists.

The above green-marked statements are obviously pithy off-the-cuff remarks expressing such normal women's frustrations as "men are often misogynist" and "women shouldn't give men infinite patience", but of course these things that are perfectly understandable in the mouths of cis feminists become gross insults when said by a transfem, because everything we ever say is taken in the worst possible faith and we're never allowed to be annoyed or angry.

[sedimentarygal]

Being annoyed or angry is not an excuse to be incredibly transphobic actually. One trans woman to another, go fuck yourself.

[vergess]

Hey, btw, Libertineangel is fully lying up there. Shinigami Eyes now exists solely to "protect" a specific subset of reactionary trans women and no one else, including any trans woman who even vaguely steps out of line with the "radical transfeminist" movements online.

However, when the project started, it was explicitly and specifically for ALL trans people of ALL gender assignments and gender identities.

Like. I know that person is right about the use case of the extension now, but they are straight up lying about history here. And really recent history. History most of tumblr's user base lived through on tumblr.

This is a ridiculous thing to lie about, frankly.

[hi-fi-planetoid]

Source on the extension including nonbinary people and trans men as per their guidelines as far back and 2019 btw

[totodiletears]

Gonna be honest, I'm not sure why anyone thought an extension that's basically "THIS person is a bad person! How do we know that? Because other people said so! When you see a marked post, you should know that's a bad person even though you didn't actually see them do anything bad!" was a good idea. You've all been here long enough to see how ridiculous callout posts can get, right? People accuse each other of being x bad thing based on spurious evidence all the time.

Do you know how often I've seen "Shinigami eyes shows this person is a transphobe" as a reply to some innocuous post with absolutely no other evidence? And people going "oh shit I didn't know, I'm so sorry for reblogging from this bad person!" in response?? You can say people should use a tool like this as a starting point, or as a mere warning of possible problems instead of just taking its word for it without any further thought... but most people don't. That's not how humans work. It's the same problem that's leading to people blindly trusting what AI Overview says. Even if it started with good intentions, shinigami eyes getting abused was inevitable and I don't know why so many of yall didn't see it coming.

watching game of thrones and this was considered a historically accurate portrayal of steppe nomads??? the faux leather strapless crops and faux leather yoga pants?????

[romanceyourdemons]

one thing this show clearly doesn’t get, which a lot of modern portrayals of premodern times don’t seem to get, is that in a preindustrial society where literally everything is handmade, people preferred (and prefer!) to take a little longer to make things beautiful. if you’re personally spinning and weaving and stitching every inch your new coat, you might as well take an extra afternoon to dye the fibers a really lovely yellow with some onion scraps, and spend a little longer to embroider on a nice pattern. if you’re personally carving every angle of every chair in your house, you may as well slow down and carve them with a beautiful and culturally significant design, especially if you know your great-grandchildren will be sitting in them. in a hyperconsumerist industrial society it’s expected that you just buy what you can afford and settle for however beautiful or ugly the thing happens to be, but it wasn’t always that way. the vast majority of people in the premodern world were hobbyist artists, and they dressed in and sat on and slept under and smoked with and ate out of their and their ancestors’ canvases every day

This is the interior of a modern Kyrgyz yurt. Btw. Those tapestries on the walls and ceiling are usually made of felted wool and are for insulation (traditionally they were also for weather-proofing, but now that's usually done with plastic sheeting). The ribbing is traditionally bright red and the rugs and tapestries are also usually brightly colored. Many people involved in animal husbandry still live in these for part of the year, and some year-round.

The past and the culturally in-touch present were and are extremely colorful.

when i was a kid my Getting To Sleep technique was visualizing a child-sized shriveled up mummy with big piercing eyes that would stand silhouetted in the doorway & stare at me & probably attack if i so much as opened my eyes after getting into bed & this technique caused me to develop a lifelong nighttime-induced paranoia & it still takes me 2 hours to fall asleep. so i wouldnt recommend that
