a multitude of trans people of varying genders have been murdered and gone missing recently and tumblr is making it about school playground girls vs boys discourse. can all of you actually shut the fuck up

[flareboi]

if you see vulnerable people having their lives taken and decide this is about your dumb fucking internet wars you dont deserve to be alive, sorry. imagine witnessing horrific hate crimes and opening your computer to type some disgusting essay about “hyper-visible amab privilege” or “theyfab birthday boys”. genuinely the most selfish insensitive bullsit i’ve ever seen. if you feel the need to do that you are the scum of the earth

[flareboi]

part of the reason ive kind of stepped away from trans discourse as a whole is that its so fucking exhausting to be surrounded by a bunch of toddlers with an “us vs them” “girls rule boys drool/boys rule girls drool” mindset. all of you are obsessed with being the victim in every possible situation. trans woman murdered? it’s about me. trans man murdered? it’s about me. nonbinary person murdered? me me me it’s ALWAYS about me and my dumb fucking internet bullshit.

i don’t have the privilege to sit on my ass whining nonstop about how he/theys are spiritually rapists or AMABS don’t understand misogyny, because i Actually have to go outside and deal with this shit in real life. i actually have to fear for my loved ones safety. do you genuinely think you are respecting the victims of these horrific crimes by using them as fodder for your immature ass schoolyard arguments??? do you think when you rush to type out “HEH, take that, theyfabs/4channers/whatever dumb shit you want to call each other” whenever you see a life taken is helping anyone.

i know “they hate us all” is sometimes used to shut down important community discussions but a ton of you have swung way too far in the other direction and genuinely, seriously think we do not have bigger fish to fry than losers on the internet saying mean things to you

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

will always reblog this. more fat hairy guys in dresses. more guys in dresses in general. this isn't just a "homina homina homina" post i truly believe that it is cruel and unjust that guys don't get to wear easy airy clothes like dresses and skirts.

one genre of fanfiction that seems to have mostly disappeared since i became an adult is shenanigans-type fics. like not exactly crack but just "the gang goes to 7-11" type, extremely low-stakes plot stories. the beach episodes of fanfiction. i just feel like i don't see those around so much anymore. whered they go. i miss them :(

the thing with transphobia directed at nonbinary people is that like. it is ultimately rooted in misogyny. people will see nonbinary as "woman lite" or "embarrassing man who needs to be shamed back into masculinity" and any interaction where they make fun of nonbinary people is basically tinted by that. insults leveraged at nonbinary people are often about how incompetent they are, not knowing their place, being too sensitive/tender, being delusional about the way the world works. which are misogynistic points. but anyway.

Friction: A Reading List on Why Inconvenience Can Be Meaningful

We prize convenience and efficiency, almost to a fault. Sometimes, though, we’re missing out on surprise, serendipity, and anticipation when we avoid friction. Courtney E. Martin brings us five reads that examine the pros and cons of life’s little hurdles.

Without getting too nostalgic about it, these readings will make you revisit the forgotten, sometimes wonderful feelings that go with friction. We don’t have to throw away our cell phones to bring spontaneity back into our lives. We can be intentional and collective. In fact, we must be intentional and collective; it’s the only way to live expansive lives connected by slow and messy delight. And that is an aim far more worthy of our finite time than productivity, no matter what the false gods of Silicon Valley and late-stage capitalism say.

Forests Clean Water

Years ago, I took an online course on mountains, and one fact that stuck with me from it was about how people in the United States accidentally polluted the water in New York City by cutting down trees.

It was the 1800’s, and the trees in the Catskill Mountains were cut down to accommodate growing populations, and as a result, the water quality for New Yorkers deteriorated rapidly. Yes, the agriculture pollution and sewage did play a part, but the trees were decided to be such a big problem, that they decided something had to be done.

So, they purchased land, and 18000 the natural ecosystem.

How does this all work? With watersheds.

“Watershed: an area of high ground from which water flows down to a river” Cambridge Dictionary

Imagine it is raining in a forest. Droplets hit the ground, and —thanks to the vegetation which slows runoff — it is absorbed into the soil like a sponge.

As the water move through the soil, microbes are actively removing harmful pollutants, silt is filtered, and plants are helping to remove fertilizers.

Some of the water will end up in our lakes and streams, but will be much cleaner than when it started.

"The ability of forests to aid in the filtration of water doesn’t only provide benefits to our health and the health of an ecosystem, but also to our pocketbooks. Forest cover has been directly linked to drinking water treatment costs, so the more forest in a source water watershed, the lower the cost to treat that water. Forests provide these benefits by filtering sediments and other pollutants from the water in the soil before it reaches a water source, such as a stream, lake or river." American Forests

Since this intake and outtake of water is gradual, removal of these forests can even to lead to a higher chance of drought and floods.
