I wanted to try something more stylized with the middle ones.

this. just this.

A hat in space and time

(Yes, I did delete and re-upload. Wifi machine broke right as I was about to make a small edit, so I spent the past half hour fixing that first.)

hiya! I figured id make an informational post about the little things ive noticed about being on testosterone that I found weren’t talked about a lot when I was starting my transition and even before when I was doing my research. I think that trans sexual health is an extremely important part of trans peoples lives (and that doesnt necessarily mean sex) seeing as the physical changes that happen during transition are often foreign to us. Sexual health keeps us healthy and comfortable in our bodies, so do your best to stay attentive to your body’s changes! As always, consult your doctor if you feel the need to. These are only tips ive learned from transitioning myself and from my doctor when I asked about certain things.

Some notes:

Smegma is produced by everyone regardless of genital makeup. You should always be working hard to keep it cleared away, cis or trans.

Additionally it’s not known for sure if T depletes the immune system, especially more than a cis man’s. Rather, hormone changes in general can cause some weird things to happen with your immune system and allergies.

Photographer Mattias Klum from National Geographic gets close and personal with a lion.

“and all of a sudden you feel very small” damn right

IT JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED AND SAVED

please, if you are able, do what you can for the asiatic lion. donate, get involved, spread information. there are only about 300 left in the world, and they all live in Gir Forest National Park in India.

the african lion is also estimated to be extinct by 2050 due to habitat loss, sport hunting, and loss of their prey base to the bushmeat trade. these beautiful creatures could be extinct in our lifetime. the next generation may not ever have the chance to see these creatures, there will be no more cute lion vines, there will be no more documentaries, there will be no more zoos or sanctuaries containing lions. there will be no more lions.

if you have any love for nature, any love for animals, any love for life, and if you care at all about the permanent loss of a species, especially one so beautiful and iconic, if you care and if you are able, please donate to help save lions.

The Lion Conservation Fund

The African Wildlife Foundation

The World Wildlife Foundation

Not relevant to my blog, but my inner nature lover is calling

Saw someone once posted a review on a book that said lions dont live in India; sad that some people dont even know they exist.

Yes, donate! But not to WWF

Yeah, reminder that the WWF still violates the rights of tribal peoples, funds shoot-on-sight policies, has never apologized for its racism in the 90’s and has an approach to conservation that’s based on eugenics. WWF is also in bed with palm oil producers, supposedly for monetary gain. I’d also argue that the WWF misuses its funds, considering its CEO is in the 1% and at one time had a higher salary than the US president, despite being a non-profit.

Better charities would be The Zoological Society London and Wildlife Trust of India

this post is so important, not only for the information about lions but because I didn’t know any of that stuff about WWF and have supported it for years. I won’t be anymore.

People in East-Asia wearing facemask in public places is very common, It doesn’t mean they have disease. otherwise, most of them are perfectly healthy. There are several reasons for them to wear it.

I know that many people are worried about the Coronavirus, but facing this difficult situation, we must be calmer than ever. Don’t let the virus, the fear or the anxiety turn us into who we are not.

Don’t let people use corona virus to excuse xenophobic attacks on Chinese people, or truth be told on any Asians (as most racist and xenophobic people can’t tell the difference)

Hey! There’s no need to panic about coronavirus, there are plenty of things you can do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe, and one of those things is face masks. They’re so great! They protect you from other unpleasant illnesses, too, like the flu and even (because they keep your fingers away from your mouth and nose and therefore interrupt the fecal-oral route) like norovirus! Wash your hands when you come home from the store or other public places, wash before eating, and wash after using the restroom, whether that’s at home or in public. Masks can help keep you from chewing your fingernails or touching your face until you’ve washed and it’s safe to do so. Carry a fidget toy if you’re a nail biter and try to curb those urges until you can get to a washroom. Fear is contagious, as are misinformation and bigotry. Help stop the spread of those things by checking sources and speaking up to correct falsehoods or check hateful opinions on social media.

lol yesterday i showed something like this to my east asian mutuals and their reactions were like

-yea so sorry we give a fuck about hygiene and it scares you

s a v age

Okay I can see why some people might want this...

Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck

GIVE ME YOUR BIOMETRIC DATA SO I CAN ANALYSE YOUR BONE STRUCTURE CHILDREN🤪

That’s genuinely terrifying

Giggle me timbers, it's a nightmare frankensocialmedia.

So, what do they actually collect and what do they do with it? Well:

Collecting my data? My biometrics and location?

You betcha.

And you will sell all that information?

Gotta make a profit ❤️

And how about information on my ethnicity, political standing, religion, criminal record, location, my biometrics, sexuality and gender?

Well. We will sell that too, but only to the good girls and guys 😊 We will sell your biometrics to facial recognition software and everything else to your government or others, that give us enough money 🙏

So if I am in a country that wants to target me for my ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexuality, gender identity or political standing, you will sell them this information?

In a heartbeat 🏳️‍🌈

.....

Do not use this Plattform. Please.

this feels both terfy and scammy at the same time. 

"we are making a safe space for girl's so let us VERIFY THE FEMININITY OF THINE SKULLLLL" is definitely one of the terfyest things I've read in a while

Hilariously? The app is so broken that there are even one-star reviews from TERFs being like “well this app is a GREAT idea because it prevents those nasty trans women, but the app itself won’t work” and I’m like GOOD BECAUSE FUCK YOU.

hey so idk how long it's going to take to get a proper stable income atm because disability benefits are a bastard. im not at risk of homelessness bc flatmates but my health is apparently just getting worse.

if anyone has cash to spare i have a wishlist here for health related items to improve my quality of life, some are even just 99p.

my flatmates all work or are in full time education and i can't afford help but a lot of these items will make bumbling around the flat a little easier. reblogs are also v much appreciated.

You can now also donate to my Ko-fi!

so after four months, i have an assessment next week. to decide whether im "disabled enough" basically.

this isn't promising. the dwp have had countless scandals about denying people benefits after assessments.

(source)

people have died because of this.

the chances are, they'll tell me im not disabled enough and stop my benefits. this has happened before.

im not doing good rn. im struggling and i dunno how im going to get by if i get denied, my mental health is down the fucking toilet.

Oh shit. No. Shit. Thank you

Just gonna reblog this out of gratitude because I actually did forget…

Fffffffff let me get right on that. 

and then reblog for the next forgetful son of a bitch

I’m so great full for everyone that is reblogging this. I totally forgot to take mine

I think that there is some sort of unspoken fairy godparent thing where you see this, realize that you forgot your meds, and rebagel it because if you forgot someone else must have. And in our turn we all take care of each other, even if we don’t know it.

Something stupid from a couple of weeks ago

wait wait does... dalek sec have an American accent? now i have to go and see

She!!!

Look at her smiling god I miss that 🤗

chill it’s cos your rare

the entire female population of east asia is rare?

homie ur about to be cooked medium rare and sacrificed

Omg

It got better

Inspired by a recent experience I had with someone stealing my art and cropping out my URL. Dedicated to every artist who has had their art work stolen.

Art theft is bad guys, always keep that in mind!

SIGNAL 👏 BOOST 👏 THIS 👏

Repost culture at its finest. Oy vey… 

man I feel this deeply…

Personally I have experienced art theft in the past and it does not feel good what so ever, so I really feel this is important to signal boost

Here's the thing about shows like South Park and Family Guy that make their money off of being edgy and offensive. They fundamentally reduce their viewers' capacity for empathy. If I found a joke funny, and you found it offensive, you're just too sensitive. This is directly related to the ride of the alt right and the election of trump. In this essay I will

So instead of writing the essay this is exactly what I'm talking about. This shit reduces your capacity for empathy. If you can't understand why people are hurt by a simple joke, nay, think that's the whole point... How the hell are you supposed to feel for someone when they come to you complaining of ACTUAL oppression? It's the foot in the door phenomenon. A little oppression isn't too bad, cuz it's funny, right? It hardens your heart against others

Somebody actually wrote this essay already. It's a Twitter thread about how the alt right recruits teenage boys by getting them to post slightly offensive memes... And then when they get called out and don't understand why the alt right channels their anger at feminists and women and people of color and liberals. According to this thread, boys are being "set up"

Read the whole thread at the link above this is just a snip

"offensive" shows like Family Guy are a precursor to the alt right and you can't change my mind

Y'all this shit so basic even Spongebob one it. It's not about being too sensitive. It's normalizing abuse through comedy that's a foot in the door to greater oppression.

Magnets: I want to commit diamagnetic

how did I never once think to use tape fuck

one time as a kid I forcefully shoved two magnets together, and these were the strong magnets my dad used in his shop to pick-up missing little metal bits, and I held them really tightly in the palm of my hand, went up to this one kid who legit said things like “I think black cats are bad, they should be drowned” and drew crosses on the notebooks of kids if she found out they didn’t go to church, I told her “Hey. I’m a witch. If you don’t stop trying to hurt animals and picking on kids, I’ll use my magic to throw you into the sky”, and when she dared to doubt my powers I told her that I had two “rocks” in my hand that I could send across the playground, then I opened my hand the the magnets shot off in two different directions (we were over in a spot that was empty, so no other kids were around, nobody got hurt), one of them stuck to a drainpipe and the other stuck to a fence. This kid SCREAMED, and ran to the office, and I guess had her mom pick her up from school, and then she wasn’t there for a couple of days, finally her mom called my house and claimed I had “traumatized her daughter by performing a terrifying magic trick”, and when my parents asked what I did I just said “I showed her a magnet and she flipped out. She’s not gonna be happy when she finds out about gravity, either”. eventually this kid came back to school and always made a point to come up to me and say “Hey, my mom told me not to talk to you!”, and would just be like “Good job, you already screwed that up”

Holy shit

“Why don’t you just say no?” 

Men don’t respect women’s autonomy. That’s why we need womanism. They clearly don’t know the reality of the danger women face in every day life. Saying no is like a fast track pass to violence since men are actual children and can’t handle any form of rejection

And that fake phone number shit don’t work anymore because these muhfuggaz will legit call the number before they let you walk away to make sure it’s your line so I told my friends to carry a burner and give guys that phone number instead.

^^^^^^

theres this awkward disconnect when well meaning whites use genders from other cultures as an argument for respecting nonbinary ppl. 

like if you are saying “other cultures have these 3rd genders so thats evidence nonbinary is real thing” that doesnt really work because those genders arent nonbinary, they exist out of the context of the western gender binary, theyre part of a different system of genders. cant be nonbinary if theres no binary to begin with. 

but if you are using this as an argument for “the gender binary is a western construct thats been pushed on other cultures and also is completely arbitrary and thats why you should respect nonbinary people” then THAT is a prfectly sound arugment.. 

THANK YOU it’s so fucking difficult to get this through people’s heads.
