Prepare for bullshit

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact

Gender Nonconforming Jesus: A look at art history. CW: religion, transphobia, artistic nudity, depictions of open wounds (Long post)

anyone else think about their guy and briefly understand what it feels like to be an anime girl

the amount of white trans people on this website who go completely quiet when you bring racism into the conversation because they’ve never confronted their own prejudice and hide behind the “im a minority so i can’t even be racist!!” mindset instead of ever actually learning and giving a shit is so tiring what are we doing here

Being a person of color and trans is so weird. It’s great to get to see so many people have such body positivity for themselves in the community but it feels so isolating at the same time. I get to see people in my shared community become so happy with themselves but at the same time they aren’t me. It messed up my sense of identity for awhile when I first came to terms with being transfem because I wanted to look like a girl so I’d look to other transfems and take inspiration from them. This made me have such an urge to straighten my hair and use white feminine clothing instead of embracing one’s from my own culture. I couldn’t find anyone who was brown and trans so I didn’t know what that would look like.

I understand that there is no one way to look like a man or a woman and no one way to be trans but for any whites reading this think back to how it was pre-transition, pre-coming out, pre-realization. Remember that sense of being lost, how you knew something was different about you but you hadn’t seen anything nor found the terms to describe it. That’s a lot like how it felt for me being trans but not being able to see myself in anyone else who was.

Eventually I found myself but I had to form an identity of what a multiracial trans woman looked like to me mostly on my own. I looked at all sorts of aspects of my cultural and picked ones that felt feminine. I found the black is beautiful movement which helped me find that I didn’t need to straighten my hair to grow it long but instead grow it out into an Afro. I wear ponchos and flowy clothing similar to my Native American family. I’m glad I found myself but I still am constantly struggling to feel like a women because of the pressure of only seeing white trans people.

I know I don’t speak for every trans poc but I know that everyone of us struggles to find and maintain our image and our voice in this movement. Just know that we do exist and everything we do with our identity is just as beautiful and just as important as any other member of the trans community! <3

Also sidenote: don’t try and act like your antigovernment and for decolonization if you don’t seek out the input of those colonized and oppressed the most by said system. The same struggle does not mean the same scale, remember that.

YIPPEE ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE!!!!!

I've seen several sites mention this, it's real.

Do not make the MISTAKE of thinking you need to put your side forward. The Guardian is transphobic as fuck, and will twist your words. DO NOT ENGAGE.

By the way, this is in the aftermath of the Cass Report, and the goal will be to make Trans DIY something that needs to be regulated or stamped out. DO NOT ENGAGE.

hes ur “emotional support blorbo”??? girl he cant even emotionally support Himself

Not ‘support’ as in ‘supportive’, ‘support’ as in ‘load-bearing’.

#oh he supports plenty of loads all right

#yall read ‘emotional support x’ and think ‘emotionally supportive’? #girl they’re a *stress ball* not a fukin therapist 😂 [X]

#whenever I see a character described as a stress ball#I think of that time my childhood dog caught one of the baby chicks#and instead of eating it she held it in her mouth and applied juuust enough pressure to make it peep#and then would ease off and do it again#until we extracted the (damp and traumatized) chick#that is what I am doing with my blorbos#squeeze until PEEP!

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.

Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.

wow. really hope this isn't actually a norm taking hold with new users! this isn't facebook, you don't need to know people before following them

this is the '10 year mutuals you've never spoken to once' site

I need a job where I just untangle strings and cords for people for hours every day

this is my cursed jug i have that bleeds when you pour water in it. 

we’ve done this ten, twenty times now to no apparent change?

haunted

I’m 100% certain this is glaze fuckery but the delivery of “it’s bleeding!  It’s possessed.” is absolutely the best thing

Bad paint?

That’s a Time Bomb/Biohazard!!!

The glaze on the inside and outside of the Jug has developed cracks which when the Water is added causes the darker red clay under the white glaze to absorb the water. This in turn makes the Jug “Sweat” or “Bleed”. But it also compromises the integrity of the Jug as the Clay inside is becoming soggy as it absorbs the water. It’s also a breeding ground for Bacteria and Mold as the Clay can’t properly dry inside the glaze.

So it’s either going to fall apart and shatter into a bizillion little pieces.

Or it’s going to become a rancid smelling object that would Poison anything that Drinks/Absorbs the water put inside it.

So it’s cursed

But like

Scientifically cursed

Most curses are science we don’t understand

“most curses are science we don’t understand” woah ok there pal there’s no need to crash through half my reality and light it on fire like calm down

I really don't know how to explain to people that supporting gender liberation (liberation for trans people, liberation for gnc people, liberation from all oppressive gender roles) means you have to be able to see someone you think is cis "crossdressing" and be cool about it. You have to be able to see someone presenting in a way that doesn't make sense to you and not interrogate them about their identity. You have to be able to hear someone express a gender identity you don't understand and go "Huh! Neat," and go about your business. If you truly want gender liberation for all then you have to stop trying to exert control over other people's genders, period.

Also it’s fine if they do it for horny reasons actually

At a lot of Palestine protests in Europe at least, possibly America as well, Anti-zionist Jews have been heavily targeted. Possibly even disproportionately targeted. This is because their very existence shows the lie that Israel speaks for all Jewish people. Police and other institutions especially in Germany have been targeting these Jews to try and silence their opposition for Israel.

In the UK the labour party has thrown out a number of it's Jewish members for not supporting Israel. Jewish people who are out spoken against Israel have been arrested, including an Israeli woman and a rabbi.

In Germany over 30% of Jewish people have been arrested for Anti-Semitism charges because they were at or organising Palestine events. The German Jewish Voice for Peace has their bank account frozen. At least one holocaust survivor was blocked from an event held in her honour because she is outspoken again Israel.

While Israel and its allies main targets are Palestinians they will attack any Jewish person who does not support their narrative. We must be sure to protect and listen to our Anti-zionist Jewish allies who are instrumental in ensuring that Israel's support continues to dissolve

some doods, mostly Shiro because he is fun

I'M SORRY, BUT WE CAN'T KEEP SILENT ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL FAMILY. I want to cry at the very mention
