you have to stay alive. you're going to be such a beautiful middle aged freak. young freaks will see you in the street and know that things can be okay.

PSA: the guardian is not working on a hit piece on diy hrt, and claims they are are misinformation

on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:

today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.

it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.

but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.

the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.

you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!

Reblogging this because I previously shared the info Abt the Guardian hit piece,and I trust MAC to know what is actually up. Fr though don't talk to journalists if you're trans unless you're sure SURE that they have your best interests at heart and you're going to be anonymous. Be Safe First!

a lovely user afeinstein20 made this cross-stitch pattern of my old mushroom night light piece, and they kindly allowed me to share it for free on my ko-fi !

if anyone else would like to have a go cross stitching it i would love to see it.

Game Changer + Season 4

lmao

WAIT!

Before you hit send on that ask, reblog, or reply, remember to stop and PROOFREAD!

ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT YOURSELF FROM LOOKING LIKE A JACKASS ONLINE!

"You're so gender" wow thanks!! I think you look like a tranny too

If a flaming old queen in a cape wants to kill off racists in power I say have at it

That wasn’t even his plan!! His plan was to make the senator a mutant, so he’d have to advocate for mutants or be destroyed by his own policy, and tbh. It’s the best villain plan I’ve ever seen. The goo was the plan unexpectedly failing. 9/10 only bc he was going to kill Rogue. Next time use someone willing to sacrifice herself for the cause, pls. No further notes

I like how his plan in like real world terms, was to turn desantis gay but instead he exploded

like to charge reblog to cast tbh

SCREAMPT

i hate you e-tickets. give me a little keepsake or die

and every day i live in fear of them ghost of eros

#i dont want A4 sheet with qr code printed on the world's angriest machine. i want grubby little ticket that's been in my pocket all night @vamprisms

I'm built different. like incorrectly i think

honestly advertising is so fukcing wasteful not even just in the convincing you to buy shit you never actually wanted but like

how much electricity is wasted displaying ads that could've gone to keeping houses warm. How much paper is produced just to be turned into pamphlets and ads that will just be thrown away. how much internet bandwith is wasted just on the amount of ads that are on the internet nowadays. How many hours worth of labor went into producing ads that are going directly into my adblocker or my waste bin that could've been time spent doing literally ANYTHING useful?

My new bread pans make the most... Symmetrical loaves & they scare me kinda

THE TAURUSES ARE BULLYING ME!!!!!

more men should get hugs i dont think we as a society hug men enough

reblog to give a man a hug

THE FUCK? IT WAS NEVER IRONIC I'M REALLY VERY MUCH IN NEED OF A HUG

Not a man anymore, still very much in favor of giving and receiving hugs

I'd like to shout out my good friend Chris (not on Tumblr) who, when we were like 13 and at an all boys school, seemed to single handedly introduce our entire year to the concept of hugging. I vividly remember being like, 'woah you are... touchy...' and everyone being kinda awkward about it at first but then by the end of the year bros were just hugging bros all the damn time. And I like to think all of us took that new found comfort with physical affection out into the world and spread it like a super wholesome plague. Chris, baby girl, bisexual icon. I salute your golden retriever war on toxic masculinity.
