People talk of Tumblr history with all of the hushed tones of like, high school gossip. We need to drop that shit and go full open about it, like Charlie Murphy's Hollywood Stories

"So they organize this convention right? All these panels, all these fandom guys AND they were gonna get a ball pit..."

"Aight, so one day this Hamilton AU blog pops up by some Chinese-Pakistani human trafficking survivor living in India who said they got the HIV and had a eyeball removed-"

Everyday I log onto this dam app and learn about supernatural against my will 

Bro, I'm just trying to empty my balls into you. Hold me close bro, drag your fingernails over my back if you want homie, it's okay. Just lay back and take me like a good bro, oh you feel so good...

It’s now a felony in Alabama to give trans kids under 20 hrt or affirmative surgery

Teachers and medical professionals will also be required to out trans kids to their parents

Trans kids on hrt and their parents should get out of Alabama as soon as they can, and if you’re a trans kid in that state and you’re not out to your parents, don’t let any teachers or doctors find out

As of March 5th, the bill is not law yet. It has been passed by the Alabama Senate, but it has not been approved by the governor. The article isn’t super clear on how close the House bill is to the Senate bill, either, so the bill may also be delayed while they reach a compromise.

It probably will become law–I don’t particularly trust Kay Ivey, and it could pass with a revote even if she does veto it–but crucially, it isn’t law yet.

Anyone under 20 who is on puberty blockers or HRT and can’t leave Alabama should look into switching their care to an out-of-state facility as soon as possible. EDIT: Trans in the South (link) has a directory of different options for trans-affirming healthcare in southern states. From my understanding, the bill does not make it illegal to possess puberty blockers or HRT that was prescribed out-of-state.

the purest form of serotonin is when a cat looks at u and u go like “what?” and it meows at u

like, that is a very unspecific response I still have no idea what you want but I applaud how adorably you meowed all the same, well done

This post led me to reminisce on the nature of cat’s meowing, and I have a funny story

I befriended a feral cat once who had spent her life in the forest without human interaction. I was worried about her because she had a paw damaged from an old injury and was emaciated but obviously nursing kittens that were hidden away somewhere. It took me weeks of putting out food and sitting across the yard every evening for her to trust me even a little and when she decided we were friends and she expected dinner every night she started coming to my door and trying to call for me in the evening, but she didn’t meow. Why would she? Cats only meow naturally as kittens when their vocal chords/ears aren’t fully developed, adult cats communicate with vocalizations that aren’t audible to humans. She probably tried making noises I couldn’t hear to call me but ended up sticking to the one I always responded to- a horrible yowling growl that she had made at me when we first encountered each other in the forest. Except once we were friends she would make this noise while purring and rubbing affectionately against a nearby tree or the porch railing (because she didn’t want to touch me yet). This understandably freaked my family members out but I was touched that she had taken the time to find a way to basically yell FUCK OFF in an affectionate way.

Fast forward to when she finally trusts me enough to bring her hidden kittens out of the forest to me, long story short I gained their trust and put them in this big pen, that I had previously used to keep chickens in, so they’d be safe and to keep her from having another litter. Except she was already secretly pregnant again! (Fix your pets, guys, they make SO many babies) and ended up having her new babies in this pen. I kept my distance, sitting on the outside once they were born until she seemed comfortable enough to let me come inside. The kittens were a bit wild, hissing viscously at me as soon as they opened their eyes, but they warmed up to me. There were four of them and soon they all wanted to be the center of attention during the twice daily play sessions. I’d be playing with one and another would meow insistently behind me and I’d immediately answer them and give them love, teaching them that humans could be friends that answer their needs- making them adoptable once they were weaned. Mama cat (Artie) would just watch me play with them, and I guess she was doing some thinking because one day when they were about a month old I was playing with them and one meowed behind me. I was confused because I hadn’t realized there was a kitten behind me and when I turned, there wasn’t. The only cat there was Artie looking at me really intensely. I turned back around to the kittens and I heard the meow again, I turned back to Artie and responded in the way I always did with the kittens “yes baby?” And she meowed again in an exact imitation of her kittens! After that she would.not.shut.up. It was like she had cracked some kind of code, meowing for attention and snacks and just to say hi. Her two older kittens, the ones she’d had in the forest, had never meowed at me either but started to once they saw how I responded to their mom. and I find it endlessly fascinating because before that it had never occurred to me that cats only meow at humans because they were taught by other cats to keep meowing past kittenhood because that’s the best way to get a human’s attention.

Imagine befriending some weird giant with the wrong number of legs that you met in the forest who seems nice enough but doesn’t seem to be able to hear you, until your friend explains that all they can understand is fuck off! And I’m a baby give me love!
