PSA in steering away from “going nonverbal” and “nonverbal episode” please also know that “situational mutism” and “selective mutism” are not the correct terms either.

SM is an anxiety disorder separate from autism. it has its own set of diagnostic criteria. unless you have SM the anxiety disorder, “situational/selective mutism” is not the correct term.

the terms you are looking for would be verbal shutdown or speech loss.

Today's children don't know what it was like when half of your photographs would turn out with demonically glowing red eyes.

nobody is making fun of the transmasc cowboy schlock because they're Cringeshaming Meanies bro it is just very directly a white supremacist fantasy that's not useful to declare "rehabilitated" because you slapped top surgery scars and pronouns on it. can we be serious

saw this appended to the actually true sentiment that "basic trans girl amazon skirt" stuff is pointlessly cruel and transmisogynistic and it's like. man how fucking disingenuous is it to act like the needless aggressive policing of trans women's femininity is in any way equivalent to honestly overly gentle criticism of white usamerican trans guys' obsessions with queering manifest destiny

Regular misogyny is still misogyny when you direct it against transfems. When you accuse us of hysteria (or "screaming and crying" as you may circumlocutionarily put it) for expressing views you dislike, that's misogyny. When you explain aspects of our transfeminism that you find disagreeable (for example us taking issue with the claim that we are "seen as men") with us being too emotionally fragile and immature to face reality, that's misogyny. When you dismiss us as being too irrational and emotional to assess our own oppression objectively, that's misogyny. If you belittle, infantilize and condescend to transfeminists at every turn, if you cannot reckon with the fact that you have genuine ideological disagreements with transfeminists without resorting to misogynistic cliches to dismiss them, then you are a misogynist who considers transfems fair game for misogynizing (and you should correct that).

.......... totally unprecedented, eh?

whooooooooops! it was already the de facto policy for Palestinians!

my wife and i like to torture each other when we lay down for bed at night by tickling or poking each other. as a deterrent we’ve created an entity called “The Bird” which will attack you as a way to show we’re no longer comfortable with whatevers happening. we’ll say “The Bird is coming” or “The Bird is going to get you” instead of “hey stop doing that” then we peck each other with our hands. here’s a visual to help

idk i just really want everyone to know about the word vermiculation

Would you still love me if I was vermiculated

*dipping a dart into an unlabelled flask and loading it into my crossbow* you better not try anything stupid because i don't even remember what this one does

i feel like the "egg prime directive" is based in the idea that realizing youre transgender is inherently traumatic, and not just forced to be so by the current state of the world. trying to make discussions of possibly being a different gender much more casual and accessible to the average cis & "cis" person by bringing it up as an option is in fact one of the easiest ways to counteract such systemic transphobia

i somehow haven't seen it posted here so just sharing that luigi mangione has an official fundraiser for his lawyers. his defense team also has an official website luigimangioneinfo.com that they keep up to date with information

Annoyed at both US and Canadian liberals acting like Canada is an oppressed Global South country that is under the boot of US imperialism and full of progressive revolutionaries when it's actually one of the wealthiest countries in the world and an enthusiastic ally of the US in its imperialism most of the time, and when it isn't, it has its own imperialist and colonialist projects, especially mining, both in the Global South and on stolen Indigenous land within so called Canada - don't even get me started on how reactionary Canadian settlers are either, and it's not just the white ones born here bc a lot of non-white diaspora and immigrants are just as nationalistic and hate both Indigenous peoples and the Global South, even if their families are originally from the latter.

Annoying liberals have started finding this post, so let me be clear to you cowardly selfish assholes who are acting like Trump is going to throw Canadians into concentration camps for being Canadian and you are going to fight that by buying maple syrup and chugging Tim Horton's coffee that the average settler Canadian, especially the white ones, would not be paying the price if the US steals resources from the stolen land that makes up so called Canada - it's Indigenous people who suffer regardless of whether the US or Canada comes out on top bc both countries are settler colonies built on the continued genocide of Indigenous peoples, and the Canadian strategy to 'fight' the US is increased resource extraction on stolen land underpinned by a Canada First reactionary ideology where it's okay and even 'progressive' to steal resources as long as the colonizers are Canadian settlers oppressing Indigenous peoples.

Neither the US or Canada should have ownership or sovereignty over the land in the first place! If you want to fight imperialism and colonialism, then you must support Land Back, not colonialism with a maple leaf slapped on.

When I see a video of a cat minding its own business with nothing else going on I unmute immediately cause I know that mf is about to make a funny noise
