Some of you are Protestant as hell when it comes to gender not gonna lie

[i-suggest-transing-your-gender]

Being miserable does not bring you closer to your preferred gender

Suffering does not bring you closer to your preferred gender

You are not better or more trans than someone else because you've suffered more

You deserve to be able to talk about and get support for the bad things that have happened to you, you deserve a world where those bad things stop happening. But the bigotry directed at you isn't what makes you trans, it's the joy you get from being the truest version of yourself is what makes you trans 🫶

Hello! ^v^ I have an oc I wish for you to critique! She's one of my favourites Ive made, she's a werewolf in a friendgroup of fantasy creatures. ^-^ I'd love to know if there's anything I can change to make this oc more accurate, and potentially less racist! Any drawing tips in general for dark skinned characters are much wanted and much appriciated. :D Thank you! :)

Oh she's so cute!! She looks so real, I love when I see characters that look like real folks you might see 🥹 and I love what you did with her afro, especially the ends. That's what I try to communicate here, that really if you detail the ends of the afro, what you want will come across. Great job to me 👍🏾 only thing I'd say is to make her palms realistic, so not the same color brown as her skin.

Baby Name Consultant is the type of job title you'd see people claim to have on HGTV while nitpicking 3 different multi-million dollar houses.

[apollosfallen]

The only way forward is to stop treating masculinity as synonymous with harmful, monstrous, or dangerous.

[apollosfallen]

There is a fundamental difference between "men are dangerous" (wrong, bioessentialist) and "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" (true).

i agree so much about making your blorbos pathetic but i do fear that many take this to mean 'make them more traditionally feminine/submissive' which genuinely hurts my soul. make your blorbos pathetic in interesting character-oriented ways. understand their neuroses and turn the dials up to eleven. juxtapose the parts of life they handle extremely well with the parts of their lives that make them eat shit. make them angry. make them cold. make them pave their own way to hell while building walls preventing them from seeing any other way. please i'm begging you no more pathetic as an euphemism for bottoming im gonna mclose it.

depiction is not the same as glorification and I need people to get that 

[chaotic-carnifex]

depiction from the POV of a character who thinks it’s okay is still not glorification

[hbmmaster]

we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are

[hbmmaster]

"if you can say the name in the article why can't you say the name in the headline?" what do you think a headline is for

[ryebreadgf]

my dad is very intensely involved a battle with his city’s public administration over a playground they have tried to forcibly remove like five times in the past 20 years and DID remove once in like 2005 but then had to rebuild because my dad was such a pain in their asses and came through with undeniable receipts of the zoning plan from the 60s/the historic/cultural value of the urban planning…. like there’s a woman in the city office who is his arch nemesis. he is literally the daredevil of urban planning

[ryebreadgf]

everyone in the tags needs to stop saying they want to fuck my dad.

i really salute all pregnant trans men who share their journey online because if i was going through pregnancy already (which is more than i could ever do, hats off to you) and also dealing with the dysphoria and social alienation of being a pregnant man and i posted it on the internet to show that it’s a possibility and people just made 1000 omegaverse and mpreg jokes at me i think i might run away forever and never come back

[pansyfemme]

given the state of the world right now, the risk of even existing as a pregnant man is high. But then whenever you see a tiktok by a seahorse dad instead of any respect for the op the comments are all like “LOL MPREGGED” or showing disgust like genuinely can we be normal for once

[danielkahndyke]

the op linked the study in the replies & i’ve been skimming it & it’s actually rlly rlly interesting to think abt

[danielkahndyke]

like this sentence from the introduction alone is fucking crazy. “approximately half of adults in the united states think that torture can be acceptable in counterterrorism.” what!

[transhuman-priestess]

All these industries with shortages of workers and they can’t figure out why.

Im proposing the hypothesis that the reason we don’t have enough doctors/pilots/bus drivers/etc is that maybe, just maybe, having your entire industry function as a lifelong hazing ritual isn’t the best recruiting strategy.

[transhuman-priestess]

Doctors are subject to 8 years of post-secondary education and are forced to work 48 hour shifts.

Pilots and other transportation workers have absurd hours of service requirements that start your rest period as “the moment you shut the vehicle down” and can be as short as 9 hours in some cases.

Railroad workers have to be available on-call 6 days a week and be ready within two hours notice. They don’t get sick time.

Retail workers have to keep a veneer of politeness against any and all abuse or they can be fired.

Truck drivers get paid by mileage and rarely see pay for shipper or receiver delays.

Work should not be designed to make you a miserable burnout and yet here we are.

We are in the worst timeline

I’ve been asked to write a letter of recommendation for a mentor of mine. The purpose of the letter is to talk about personal experiences I have had that show she would be a good professor.

This disclaimer was in the request/instructions for drafting my letter.

THEY ARE EXPLICITLY NOT DISCOURAGING ME FROM USING AI TO DRAFT A LETTER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH ANOTHER PERSON.

I really don’t know how to process this tbh. It just feels insane to have my SCHOOL basically tell me to use AI for standard things like writing a letter.

90% of age gaps don’t matter when you’re a grown adult as long as you don’t have a repeated pattern of dating people barely legal. I would date someone 30 years older than me if I liked them who gaf

[junglejim4322]

This entire conversation is somehow 90% people infantilizing themselves and 10% actually people talking about the issue of men who never grow out of dating 18/19 year olds. No it is not a big deal when a 25 year old dates a 35 year old please get a grip

[junglejim4322]

Honestly if you’re in your mid twenties infantilizing yourself on this level maybe you shouldn’t be dating anyone

[natalieironside]

Growing up, older folks would always get confused when I expressed familiarity with media from their childhoods and would act incredulous when I attempted to explain the concept of reruns. They'd be like "How do you, a child of this fallen era, know of Looney Tunes" and I'd be like "Because it has never not been playing on television" and this would seem to be brand new information to them

[natalieironside]

Like I would go about wearing my Led Zeppelin t-shirt and all these old dudes would be like "Surely this ignorant youth must be professing a false knowledge of such ancient secrets" but like if u turn on the radio in 1996 or 2006 or 2026, you know what's always gonna be on the damn radio? Zeppelin, man.

I will always reblog this

[bradspace3000]

still remember how revolutionary this ad felt 10 years ago

[annesophiewashere]

excuse me but it still feels revolutionary

[stevviefox]

Keep reblogging until it feels normal everywhere.

For context: this came out in 2011 in Australia. Same-sex marriage would not be legalized until December 2017.

It was only legalized in 8 US states (the 8th only a few months before), and wouldn’t be legalized nation-wide until 2015.

It was only legal in TEN COUNTRIES in 2011. We wouldn’t hit 20 countries until 2017. (Australia was 23rd)

As of today (April 14, 2026), I believe only 38 countries have fully legalized same-sex marriage. Out of somewhere around 200 countries in the world. That’s only ~19% of countries.

This is still revolutionary.
