yall do realize just because something has been a target of misogynistic criticism, that doesn't make stanning it completely uncritically in response some kind of revolutionary feminist praxis. right.

like i hate to break this to you but plenty of people who dislike taylor swift have better reasons for it than 'she's a successful woman'. plenty of people who dislike twilight are not jumping on a decade plus-old hate train of 'teenage girls like it'. pure personal taste aside, someone pointing out the racism in your girlboss media of choice is not the same as an incel frothing at the mouth over a woman minding her own business while having fun, and you're frankly telling on yourself if you're equating those two people

I could on and on about how much I hate when people say “trans men are treated as women” bc it’s very not true. But people will see the statement “trans men aren’t treated as women.” And assume it means “trans men are treated as men.” Instead of “trans men aren’t treated as their gender, they are treated as something other.”

People really don't get the level of "otherism" trans people get stuck with. Like wow you managed to disconnect us from both our assigned and actual gender, you fucked up so bad please stop, we are not aliens we are you friends, family, community, we are people you should care about just as much as anyone else

Interesting little thing, Sorn and Nym Orlith's names can both be found in the "male" section of drow names from Dragon Magazine (Sorn meaning enchanted or spell, Nym meaning skeleton or skull, and possibly Orly-th meaning Guild of Challenges).

Sorn says they fled because male drow are treated like dogs. At first I figured it meant his sister went with him for a genuine care of her brother and twin (and perhaps still is the case) but I wonder if Nym is trans and transitioned after leaving the Underdark but kept her name.

reblogging with my own tags because i have so many trans drow thoughts now

#im on board any reason to trans a character #i was looking up drow names for a dnd character and thought 'wouldnt it be cool if bg3 used this' #nere could be neer meaning root or strong #dhourn could be dhaun meaning infested or plague #which interestingly is a gender neutral name #min and thara meaning lesser glyph/rune #dhourn says hes third born. third born sons are sacrificed unless one of the two older brothers died #OR. he could be ftm #being trans in drow society could have so many interesting implications. #was nym not allowed to transition into a 'higher' status? is dhourn 'allowed' because he transitioned into a 'lesser' status? #did dhourn leave his house because he ended up being a third born man who Wasnt sacrificed to lolth? #i have so many delicious trans drow thoughts. #you know #im not even sure if we're told dhourn is a man. we can tell him to respect us if we play as a drow woman #but i assume enby drow would have lesser status to a cis drow woman. #the implications are interesting.

It breaks my heart to see how underrated pigeons are. The fact that we had literally domesticated them, making them absolutely dependent on us and now that we've abandoned them, we treat them poorly when they try to coexist with us. It's our responsibility for how they have adapted, how they can't build nests and how they try to find food wherever we are. Please be nice to pigeons

Update: North Gaza Aid!

As part of his promise, Hussam sent 20% of your HelpGazaChildren donations ($4000) to Mahmoud AbuSalama for the 5th time now, including the earlier North Gaza Campaign (as location on our notion site) to buy food and necessary products for families still surviving the dire situation in North Gaza. The food package contains, as you see in the picture below: flour, lentils, canned food, formula, diapers, and women pads!

Please continue donating and spreading the word — every penny means so much! Feel free to share our campaign link to other platforms as well!

Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!

[Quick ID: The video is of Mahmoud speaking in front of bags of flour and a tumblr sign. There are captions to the video in english. The image below is of groups of packages of items in front of a tumblr sign.]

Because I circulated a call to action about it here that got some traction: to those of you who contacted Maine legislators when it counted, thank you— it worked. Maine just passed sanctuary-state-level protection for trans rights.

public libraries are so sick. there are five books I want to read and they're all relatively new so they're only available in hardback which is so expensive but it just cost me $0 to place holds on them. five books for zero dollars. it requires nothing but clicking a button and then going to the library to pick them up when they're ready. zero dollars. that's crazy

We’re slowly getting more and more sunlight hours here, which means melting time in our household

And finally, the sight that greeted me as I woke up from a nap recently. I cannot put the threatening aura of this image into words. Enjoy!

Unique Dialogue while setting boundaries in Sharess Caress

Dark Urge:

Shadowheart Origin:

Wyll Origin: I've only known courtly love. Please, be gentle.

Astarion Origin: Just don't tell me what to do… It brings back bad memories.

Karlach Origin: It's been a long time since I've been able to touch anyone. So nothing too… unexpected.

Lae'zel Origin: Follow my lead. And do it with enthusiasm.

Gale Origin: I'm rather out of practice with this whole bodily intimacy exercise, don't ask me to do any tricks.

Class Specific(All):

Race Specific: (Drow one is also gender specific)

Deep Gnome: I'd just like to spend an hour without experiencing a height joke.

hold on wait hold on a second wait

WYLL.
