“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

in Finland, it is illegal to kill a bear when it’s hibernating. If you ask a hunter why that is, a number of them will tell you it’s wrong simply because it is the law, and they don’t make a distinction between what is right, and what is legal. Most people like that are perfectly normal, decent and respectable people, just like the rest of us.

 But if you ask people who think about things, the answer is vague. Killing a hibernating bear would just feel… impolite? You can’t fucking shoot a man when he’s sleeping, that’s just fucking rude. It’s just not the right thing to do.

 Long before hunting laws were established in Finland, you couldn’t kill a sleeping bear, and what commands you is something older than law: tradition. Even at a time when hunting was a matter of life and death, and a bear fighting for its life is mainly a matter of death, you just didn’t kill a hibernating bear, you have to wake it up first. Hunters risked their lives, the lives of their brothers and everyone in the hunting party, who were friends, family and men that they loved, to give the bear a fighting chance.

 In the modern time, the hunting season of bears is in the summer, for the warmest summer months. There are many reasons for why they are allowed to tread safely in autumn and to sleep in peace through the cold months, almost all of which are rational and scientific, and do not touch the old traditions.

 Old faith says a living thing has many souls - henki, luonto, itse. Plants only have one - the one that wills them to grow. Animals have two, both the spark of life and nature that enables them to act. A human being also has the third, one that makes them a person, personality, itse, literally “self”. But the soul that travels in your dreams is not the soul that defines a human - animals have that one as well. When your dog runs in her sleep, her soul is elsewhere, where a dog is needed.

 One’s waking soul is elsewhere when they sleep and dream. A bear’s soul is somewhere else when they are hibernating - there are two words for “hibernation” in finnish, one of which is talviuni, “winter sleep”, and that is the one that bears have - and if you kill a sleeping bear, their soul is not in the body, it is still out there, and it can find you, and as a revenge for killing its body, Ghost Bear will kill your entire fucking family.

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

The FAA had to explicitly make rules about how long pilots have to have off between shifts, and how far away from their home you can pin their home airport, because it doesn't mean shit that someone has 10 hours between shifts if they have a 2 hour commute each way. They had to make these rules because multiple passenger airplanes crashed because the pilots were exhausted from tight scheduling. Employers won't just work you to death, they'll take a hundred random customers with you.

Happy belated Workers’ Memorial Day, celebrated April 28th

I'm slightly high on sleeping pills so idk how coherent it's gonna be but you need to love the mentally ill. It's good to hate "empaths" and think they're just creating new ways to the special gifted ones, it's good to rag on the people that use therapy speak and the ones that call anything and everything a sign of narcissism but you have to love the people they hurt.

You have to love the narcissist and the antisocial and the borderline and the histrionic, the schizophrenic and the schizotypical and the psychotic , cluster A cluster B and cluster C and the ones with DID, the avoidant and the bipolar and whatever other buzzword is gonna be the next one to be accused of hurting all the good normal people. You have to love them enough that when some grifter tries to tell you how to spot the evil disordered people your first reaction isn't just "those are symptoms of autism and ADHD too you know" but also "those people aren't ontologically evil and you're just looking for a scapegoat that doesn't require dismantling authority systems

[allegedly-human]

zopiclone off and I stand by what I said, love mad people, love people with evil disorders and love the ones you were taught to treat as subhumans more than you hate stupid trend grifters

At the end of the day, my thoughts on job hunting are that it's incredibly stupid how every fiber of our current socioeconomic structure is screaming that you MUST have a job and nothing else matters because you MUST be working and that's the only thing of true importance so never forget that you MUST have a job, and I'm like damn okay so I'd like a job, can I have one? And the answer is No

I'm really so dumbfounded by where all the pushback and "transandrophobia isn't real!" stuff is coming from.

Trans women have made it pretty clear they wouldn't like trans men (or even some nonbinary people) to use the term transmisogyny to describe a lot of our experiences. And that's cool, even tho trans men and masculine folks definitely experience intersecting things from transphobia and misogyny, I agree that it's most apt for trans women to use the term.

So we have our own term now, which includes not only transphobia and misogyny as it is experienced by trans men/mascs specifically, but also the general anti-masculinity and anti-transmasculinity that is pretty apparent in queer spaces.

I dunno. I think we should be able to talk about how "men should die" really hurts to hear as a trans guy. I think we should be able to talk about our experiences being labelled as a gender traitor for simply existing comfortably in a way that allows us to continue to live. I think we should be able to talk about the rates in when we are raped and assaulted and murdered at the same rate as other queer demographics. Every trans guy I know could give multiple life experience examples, and seek out genuine support as a human being trying to process those experiences, and the end result is just "shut up you're a man" ???

All this vitriol for people in your community who are just trying to FINALLY discuss our experiences and the ways they relate and differ from each other. This isn't a "let's see who has it the worst and who has it the best" conversation, it's just a, "hey sometimes as a trans man I feel very isolated both outside and inside the community because of transphobia, misogyny, and anti-transmasculinity, and I would like to talk about it for once" conversation

And there will still be people who hear that and say "good, suffer for the crime of being a man" and somehow think that's just??? Good and well adjusted??

I think everyone needs to go interact with people in real life again 0_0
