“i cant be transphobic i’m trans!!!!!!!!”

i went to a counter protest this weekend where a gender cr it group and “gays against groomers” were protesting a hospital that provides gender affirming care, and two of the people in that protest were trans. one was a trans man, the other was a trans woman. trans people are fully capable of being transphobic, and are even capable of actively contributing to systemic transphobia. something something you are not immune to propaganda. get it together.

In light of recent events, I would like to remind everyone that the correct pro choice talking point that will actually pull people to our side is NOT whether a fetus is human or not because you'll never win. The correct argument is how the state should never have the power to force you to give up physical autonomy for the sake of any other being.

if the state can't force you to be an organ donor after your death, it shouldn't be able to force you to be an organ donor before your death. if you can't be forced to give even a pint of blood for half an hour, you shouldn't be forced to give up your uterus for nine months. if your alcoholic father can't demand you give him half your liver, if the red cross can't just demand your blood, if those wig making companies can't demand your hair, no one should be able to demand your reproductive system.

even if a fertilized egg is exactly as much of a person as a twenty one year old citizen, no one else in the world should have a legal right to make use of your body parts without your express consent.

having some thoughts

Because I just had to see it on the dash again today: I think it´s actually pretty funny when antis use their "You´re an adult" argument.

Like yes person who´s probably half my age, that´s why I´ve got better things to do than caring about other people´s preferences in fiction and that´s also why I´m too old to act like pixels on a screen are real human beings, or to believe in your silly "Fiction affects reality" theory. There are real problems in the world that need our attention, which is something you will (hopefully) realize too in a few years.

Yeah, like, I am an adult with a job, bills to pay, and mouths to feed, I do not have the time to care what fictional ppl a stranger on the internet thinks should fuck. Until a real human being is being victimized in some way, idgaf... and commonly, when I see discourse about it, the only real human being I see being victimized is the ppl y'all keep sending death threats to.

"I love the potential of the show" is such a Trollhunters fandom thing to say. That resonates with me DEEPLY.

yall get ur bfs video games, and I get mine Legos😂

She gave that man the zoomies

I wanted to teach elephants how to paint lol

im not ""projecting"". the character is the exact same person as me. sorry you just dont know them like i do.

i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave” 

at one point during the deal the professor turned to the woman selling it and he said “isn’t this just the most beautiful rubens you’ve ever seen outside of a museum?” (because the fbi had told him earlier that this piece had been stolen from a museum) and THEN he said “where on earth did you get it from?” and the group of people the woman had with her was like taxidermy-fox.png but the woman was like “inheritance” can you IMAGINE the fbi agent about to have a fucking aneurysm when this random guy you’ve brought in just to nod if it’s the right painting not only starts giving an impromptu lecture but then he asks how they got it

omg BLESS YOU for the link and the time stamp that was as glorious as described by the OP

Y’all failed to mention that HE posted the video HIMSELF and liked every single comment oh my god

Ok but if you keep watching, the FBI agent asks the professor how sure he is that the painting was the real deal and the professors says “I have two sons. I often wonder where they really came from. I don’t wonder where this painting comes from.”

this is the purest distillation of professorship i’ve ever SEEN

Random fun but useless Jim headcanon!

So we know that at some point Jim played baseball as there are pictures of him at bat hanging in the house.

I'm going to assume he was pretty decent at it. He still retains some pitching and batting skills. There was the scene where he hit the amulet well outside of his backyard, and pitching technique which he uses to fling daylight occasionally while fighting.

We know that Jim currently doesn't play any sports at all though. Why? Well, we see in several occasions starting late in season 1, that Jim's right shoulder bothers him.

It's my headcanon that he injured his shoulder playing baseball, which is not out of the realm of possibility as overuse injury is common in pitchers, and had to stop playing because of that. Then comes his trollhunting training and fights; and between the training really ramping up, the intensity and frequency of fights increasing, and having his arm wrenched back a couple of times, that old injury has been re-aggravated. Hence the painful shoulder rolling, and as someone with shoulder issues I can totally sympathize.

Finding this again and I'm just

*gently kisses whoever thought of this on the head*

When I was a kid I didn't realize Canadian currency had different value, I just thought books cost more in Canada because the publishers hated Canadians

When I was a kid, I thought it was cus the books were printed in the US, so it cost more cus they had to be shipped out of the country.

Every few years I remember that the Alternative Limb Project exists and get blown away once more by their work.

This one is half hyper-realistic, and half swapable sections based on the woman's personality, moods, and spirituality.

This one comes with a DRONE and has control panels in the wrist and forearm, as well as a flashlight and laser pointer.

This one is older, from 2012, but I still love it. Shiny shiny.

This one has a WORKING CUCKOO CLOCK IN THE KNEE. A WORKING. CUCKOO CLOCK.

Another older one, this one with realistic snake.

This is a two part one, dedicated to railway workers/builders/passengers who lost limbs. The limbs can be hooked together to allow the little train to travel between them.

This one is a literal swiss army knife arm, full of survival supplies.

Just. GAH. They are all so neat.

The project was started by Sophie de Oliveira Barata and you really have to check out her work: https://thealternativelimbproject.com/
