part of being an ally to trans men is not being a dick to cis men for their appearance btw

the short trans men hear you. the trans men with bottom growth—or who are post-phalloplasty—hear your bad jokes about small dicks. the trans men undergoing hrt who are losing their hair hear you talk shit about bald spots.

also, hot take, you should care about not hurting random cis men in addition to not hurting trans men. like just because some guy is being an asshole online doesn’t mean the thousands of young boys reading your comments about someone with their same acne deserved it. i don’t care what your reason is, even if you think someone is bad enough to warrant being bullied, who gave you permission to hurt the innocent bystander?

hey y’all should spread this version bc some people need to hear this context

So this is my proposal for an Arc/New crossover

a crown for an emperor

This is fascinating for two reasons.

1. They haven’t actually apologised for anything. She’s pre-emptively rejecting an apology that they have no intention of giving.

2. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are extremely well-liked. A lot of people are more attached to them in their roles as they are to the actual characters in the books.

What does JK Rowling gain by coming out with this?

somebody PLEASE find the gif of the guy with the really stiff pants slamming a girl on a bed or whatever

Its the wrong trousers gromit!

A little piece of advice for Americans navigating what will be an increasing number of posts about US politics in the coming year:

If a post makes you feel angry, upset, and hopeless, while offering no actionable information, scroll on and don't reblog it. I know that is going to feel harsh in some cases. But it's important to spend your political energy on what you can actually do and not be sunk into helpless rage and despair that benefits no one.

Helpless rage is exactly what social media companies want you to feel. It boosts engagement. Don’t give them your time.

Every* Type of Mecha

*Not Actually Every Type.

Something I spent WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much time on lol. This is entirely just riffing off of the many 'kinds' or 'tropes' in mecha design I found. Feel free to suggest more of them.

Might make a document providing examples for each one, but idk. I think most of these are pretty self-explanatory.

Tell me your favourites below

Well played, crow. Well played

大 means 'big.' It's used as the place name for Omiya station.

犬 the extra stroke exactly where the crow is standing changes the meaning to 'dog.' So now it's dog-o-miya station.

This crow understands Japanese and is a genius prankster.

A massive pet peeve of mine is when US progressives say shit like “evangelical christians are terrible but so are hardcore atheists”. Like. even if every single atheist was the most insufferable debate bro imaginable, you get how… one of these groups has structural power that they’ve used for more than a century to prop up and direct state violence domestically and imperially. And the other is like. A random subset of normal people that also includes some redditors. These are not equally harmful communities.

I was trying to keep the scope of this limited to traceable institutions currently active in politics, but yeah, as many people have said in the notes, “more than a century” is a pretty big understatement

lots of really good bits from the episode but this is one of the best
