Dinner time!

Relieved for trans folks and their allies in the United Kingdom.

The broader climate and discourse around trans rights and access to affirming care in the UK is still deeply troubling. Hang in there, friends. Keep fighting the good fight.

It is literally impossible to pick a favorite line from this because the entire thing is gold.

I saw an interesting video about Rae Dunn by Swell Entertainment, if that is relevant to your interests.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REElEEJZncI&ab_channel=SwellEntertainment

This feels relevant

hey kid. i know this lab is scary, but the punishment isn’t for you. i’ve got a guy coming in who likes ben shapiro. i know, right? anyway, all i need you to do is explain your gender identity to him in detail. don’t worry, he’ll be bound and gagged. you can leave once you’re done i just needed some help.

TIL Busytown just launched an airstrike against Lazytown. Busytown and Lazytown have been enemies for centuries. Busytown has always abhored Lazytown's devil may care attitude towards life while Lazytown considers them to be nothing but try-hards who should settle down and listen to some music, Lazytown is especially critical towards the Busytown tradition known as the "Agoge" where infants are forced to go through training from hell and those who fail or displease their parents in some way are thrown from the Busytown cliffs to their deaths. This latest strike may be in response to Lazytown privateers raiding the ports of Busytown and killing many soldiers, merchants, and civilians.

Update 8/22/2021: Lazytown has retaliated against yesterday's attack by kidnapping that worm who drives the apple car and then feeding him to a parrot owned by one of the singing pirates as part of a televised execution. Horrified Busytown residents have vowed to enact their revenge even if the military won't.

one of my coworkers has these really cute shoelaces and i almost said it to them . i almost said it. i think if i had i would have died on the spot

i know so many of us have been trained since a young age to be so accommodating as to fear ever expressing an opinion, but as we get older we need to understand that being “accommodating” to the point of total indecisiveness is a very uncomfortable way to go through life, for you AND those around you. it’s ok to have an opinion on something. it’s ok to make a decision. your friends won’t hate you if you’re the one to end the “where do you want to eat” “oh anywhere is fine with me” discussion by suggesting a restaurant. you’re not high maintenance if you say, “noon is more convenient for me” when someone asks you what time you want to hang out. make decisions, have opinions, be part of the planning process, understand that you’re not being inconvenient, you’re just contributing. 

men will literally see a glass of water im drinking and drown themselves in it at the drop of a hat its embarrassing and pathetic like get a better hobby

men have literally nothing better to do than march in a straight line across my bedroom furniture to crawl into an abandoned soda can and die there
