When a straight man lashes out after dating or having sex with a trans woman, he is often afraid of the implication that his sexuality is joined to hers. When a gay man anxiously keeps trans women out of his activism or social circles, he is often fearful of their common stigma as feminine. And when a non-trans feminist claims she is erased by trans women’s access to a bathroom, she is often afraid that their shared vulnerability as feminized people will be magnified intolerably by trans women’s presence. In each case, trans misogyny displays a fear of interdependence and a refusal of solidarity. It is felt as a fear of proximity. Trans femininity is too sociable, too connected to everyone—too exuberant about stigmatized femininity—and many people fear the excess of trans femininity and sexuality getting too close. But sociability can never be confined or blamed on one person in a relationship; it’s impersonal, and it sticks to everyone. The defensive fear and projection built into trans misogyny, whether genuine or performed, is an attempt to wish away what it nonetheless recognizes: that trans femininity is an integral part of the social fabric. There will be no emancipation for anyone until we embrace trans femininity’s centrality and value.

Bagginshield, 15k, E.

The night after Bilbo, Thorin and the Company were saved by the eagles and taken to the Carrock, Bilbo is hungry and cold, and he is trying to sleep. And then, Thorin asks him to come over to where he was sleeping. Thorin and Bilbo find an unexpected arrangement to stay warm during the cold nights on the road.

A story of two people falling in love, messing things up and sorting them out. Set on the quest and after.

---

I wrote a fic! Who'd have thought that when I watched the Hobbit films with my teenage kid last year and had a little epiphany when Thorin hugged Bilbo at the Carrock? Ha, I definitely didn't. But here I am.

Huge thanks go out to my wonderful @ennisapril, @andthetardisand @thirdeye1234. Thank you for your amazing beta-read, for listening to my endless ramblings about Thorin and Bilbo and for your support. <3

Enjoy reading!

This was made to be a fun joke blog ot whatever but for the love of God donate anything you can spread information talk about it in your families call your reps!!! 5 calls palestine is a website that gives you a call script please email your reps about a free Palestine North Gaza is starving and millions are trapped in Rafah. Please keep protesting keep boycotting in everything you do

You can donate to the unrwa!! Or the PCRF, Go to their website! There's also ways to send e-sims, look at my recent reblogs!

If you can't donate at all that's OK, no need to justify or tell anyone that you can't. You can go to the BDS website as well to boycott Israeli goods, which costs no money :)

Though to anyone who says "I can't do this or that," just do what you can! Everything counts! Do as much as you can!

Just keep talking about Palestine. Keep reblogging and sharing about it as much as you can on all socials no matter the followers.

a jealous!john fic by LipstickDaddy

Summary: Sherlock doesn’t eat when he’s on a case. John knows this. He’s known it for years. So when Sherlock accepts a dinner invitation from the handsome, bright-eyed Yarder assigned to this particular case (and then coffee, and then another dinner) John gets confused— and then he gets worried.
