CREATE PUBLIC CONFUSION

Listen

I do understand the fear of pregnancy and getting pregnant from the prospective of those who do not want kids and are in relationships/having sex with people who could impregnate them in this political climate. I understand the terror of losing your body autonomy and having options that should be your right ripped away from you by people who have nothing to do with you, your life, and your choices. I do not want anyone to ever think I'm telling them they're wrong for feeling that. That is the most rational thing in the world

What I mean when I say "Fear-mongering about pregnancy and birth is wrong" is the people who paint it exclusively as something disgusting. Grotesque. "Body horror." And not a natural process that yes, has risks, some of those risks being very serious, but there are FACTORS that add in to them. And the only way people can find out about those factors is through neutral education that NEEDS to become more wildly available

Because the fact is people, myself included, want to have kids and want to experience being pregnant. If you can't comprehend that, that is a you problem. It is not your civic duty to scare them into no longer wanting it because it is empowering TO YOU.

When I say I want kids and want to experience being pregnant one day and people say "Clearly you've never been pregnant" "Look up the girl with the list" "Did you know your teeth will fall out" "Read regretful parent subreddits first" congrats. You are absolutely no better than the people telling you "You'll want kids when you're older"

My life is not your business. You do not have the right to take one of my biggest dreams from me because it disgusts you. You still do not control my body

When all you do is talk about the horrific things that can go wrong during a birth rather than talk about the realities of it, what's normal and what isn't, etc. That's how you get people who GENUINELY BELIEVE a c-section is safer than vaginal birth in ALL SITUATIONS. When in realities a c-section is usually MUCH more dangerous because it is MAJOR SURGERY that comes with the risks of all other MAJOR SURGERIES. Obviously, in certain situations it is safer, but in others its not. This is what I mean by "neutral education of the risks." People should KNOW EXACTLY what they are putting their bodies through, and you sitting there talking about all the blood and guts isn't the education you think it is.

Treating pregnancy and birth and something disgusting is just misogyny. Treating people, especially women, who want kids as stupid or ignorant is just misogyny. Wrapping your misogyny in leftist "child free by choice" ideology does not make it less misogynistic. Encouraging people to live in constant fear of their own bodies is not the feminist move some of you genuinely seem to believe it is.

And when you've done all this to a point there is a culture where it is totally acceptable to say "Pregnancy is as scary as rabies and if you disagree you don't respect me" is actually insane

Exactly. I *had* to be a C-section birth because my umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck. If I was born vaginally, then I would've been strangled to death before I even got to breathe. However, my sister had no such complications and was born vaginally because she didn't need to be surgically removed.

Tomorrow, maybe?

This reminds me of the time I opened my notes app to find that I had, in a sleep-drunk state, apparently written "married to a ficus? bazinga" and then a picture of lettuce.

Bought a whole block of brie and fancy crackers because I suddenly remembered that I'm an adult and I'm allowed to.

Spending the rest of the day resisting the urge of naptime.

Not the contradiction within the post; if you’re allowed to buy fancy brie you can take a fancy nap

bf don't let me :c

Nap on bf. What's he gonna do, move? That's at least 80% as evil as moving a cat that's sleeping on him.

If I lay down during daytime, he'll join me for a cuddle, fall asleep in 35 seconds as he does every single time he is placed horizontally, and then takes a five hour nap. Even if I'm done being in bed in like two hours. Me going to bed will ruin his whole sleep schedule.

Just lock the bedroom door to keep the boyfriend out. Like a cat

Our whole apartment is only one room.

Put hin outside. Like cat

He is recovering from a surgery, I can't put him outside. Also, I can't risk having him get hit by cars, fight other outdoors guys and decimate the local songbird population.

Has he gotten all his shots? If so, all he needs is a sword and then he should win any fights he gets in. I have no idea whether or not it's songbird season in Finland yet, but since humans can't fly on their own, he shouldn't decimate the population too much.

So I’m reposting my Omegaverse Bilogy Crash Course. But I fixed some typos and grammar mistakes as well as censoring the stuff that tumblr has an issue with. I hope this time their ridiculous censorship doesn’t delete this one as well, cause honestly I don’t see anything in it that could possibly warrant censoring, but you know tumblr is stupid so maybe they will. If that happens again I’ll just give up and not post it ever again.

I have seen IRL photos of naked people thrusting their hips at the camera with a wide variety of dildos in the background, so the fact Tumblr censored this is dumb.

Altogether, I don't think I actually have less energy now than I did as a teenager. I've just gotten into a living situation where I don't feel a forceful obligation to continue functioning as normal when I can tell that I'm tired and would be better off to go have an eepy.

"Go have an eepy" is my new favorite Tumblr phrase.

Once you figure out the right cadence of how a character speaks, you can make anyone who's familiar with them read a text with a picture of them in the character's voice. Observe:

"Brother. That was by no accounts 'fergalicious'."

"I don't know, once you've spent three months smoking meth on someone's back yard, I don't think that's something you can just settle with a gift basket."

As someone who only knows what Warhammer is by proxy, I read the space marine's line in the voice of a Texan drill sergeant.

Is the German-ness of these furries a reference to something?

No, it just felt unfair to me personally that the furies get assigned a nationality and the furries don't.

Are the furries allowed to shoot lethally, or just to incapacitate? Also, what kind of crossbows are these? What are their draw weights? What kind of bolts are they shooting? You can't just say "with crossbows and expect people to....

Wh-whats going on??????

flesh hat is what's going on

I haven't been around horses for over 15 years now, and I've never been responsible of one in any measure, but with my experience in dealing with other peoples' pets, I'm pretty sure I could handle doing some simple tasks in horse care if I was given a scheduled list of what needs to be done and when, and also allowed to google how to actually do that stuff.

Like the horse would sense that This Is Weird and stare at me with those huge dark eyes that are connected to nothing but The Void, but once I'm like "dude/ma'am I get it, this is weird for me too", and then proceed to do the tasks with enough confidence, the horse is just going to do whatever motion horses do instead of a shrug and humour me.

Unless it's the kind of a horse that'll go "I sense weakness in this bitch" and immediately bite my ass because I was foolish enough to turn my back on it.

Hey does your baptism wear off if you change your name?

Like I know that giving a baby their official name at baptism isn't like an original canon christian tradition, but a native pagan one that's been absorbed into the sacrament in a lot of places where christianity was spread, but nonetheless, if the two rituals are done as the same act, do both get undone if the other is broken?

I was officially given my deadname at the same time I was christened into being a member of the church. I legally resigned from church years before I could legally change my name, but I started using my new name years before I could legally change it, and that matters more than what a legal government ID says. But if I'm no longer named the person I was legally named into church books, does that mean that I'm automatically no longer in them?

You're good. The naming is part of the ritual of it all, but imo its much more about the holy water and the blessing. Most Christian denominations would say that its still valid, and a fair few denominations (like Catholicism) doesn't do second baptisms. Once you're done, you're done.

Alright. Is there any way to undo it on purpose?

For unholy water that's still safe to get soaked in or splashed by, I'd go with pickle soda. Obvs let it go flat first, but if that stuff isn't considered unholy, I have no clue WHAT you could swim in.

Autism can be called the cousin of ADHD the same way humans can be called the evolutionary cousin of a chimpanzee. They have a lot of very similar traits, most likely due to somewhat similar origins, but they're still distinctly different. While autistic people can do plenty of things that I cannot, I can rip a man's arm clean off.

Then does that mean that having autism and ADHD is basically Planet of the Apes?
