One more joke hate: You may claim to be a woman but biologically you are a featherless biped and thus a man.
Finally a good argument for why I'm actually a man
if you told diogenes the cynic about being trans he'd be like "lol that's a sick troll you're epic" and you'd be like "diogenes no i'm serious" and he'd be like "lol that's even better lmao those guys are so mad about it" and then he'd start going by new original neopronouns every single day specifically to piss off the whole symposium
I just had an idea for a really dumb comedy sketch where a transphobe starts ranting about what really makes a women a woman, and diogenes returns each time with a different cis woman or outwardly femme intersex person that doesn't meet the criteria saying "behold, a man!"
"a woman has XX chromosomes"
*Diogenes with an androgen insensitive XY cis woman*: behold, a man!
"Nono, a woman can bear children!"
*Diogenes with someone who has medical complications associated with pregnancy*: "behold, a man!"
"nono, a woman produces the large gamete"
*Diogenes with a postmenopausal cis woman* "behold, a man!"
Trans Rights With Diogenes! coming to PBS
Some idiot: only women can produce eggs!
*Diogenes holds up a chicken* Behold! A woman!
MY TIME HAS COME
Welcome to the party, bro! Need a chicken for a sick take-down? ‘Cause I know a guy who knows a guy…

So this post is great comedy but this thought process is actually how I talked myself out of becoming a terf about a decade ago. I supported trans rights, but privately had the "they're not real such and such gender". But I was aware enough to realize there was a flaw somewhere in that thought process. So I sat with it for a while and did the whole "what is a woman" checklist. And every time I brought up a point, the Diogenes in my head held up the metaphorical chicken.
And that's how I realized I was gender fluid.
If only more people would listen to the Diogenes in their heads.
god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything

Once knew a guy from LARP who told a story about when he had first gotten his hands on chainmail and was getting used to wearing it and maintaining mobility and balance with the weight of it (it was heavy stuff). So he started wearing it under his clothes when he was out running errands and stuff to practice for when he had to wear it in mock combat.
Then one night he was coming home late and got mugged by a dude with a knife.
Apparently the look on the dude's face was amazing when he went in to gut the guy for his wallet and found out he was wearing medieval armor under his hoodie.
So, you know. Pretty good argument for wearing it under streetclothes!
so maybe my type isn't totally unrealistic
Fun story, i talked to two people who worked at a convenience store in the Kingdom of An Tir (SCA medieval society, An Tir's territory is WA, BC, northern ID, and OR, and in the past included AB and SK).
This convenience store was notorious for getting robbed in the evenings one or two times a month, so nobody wanted to work the night shift. The one fellow, he desperately needed a job, but he was also learning how to be a heavy fighter (sword & shield) in the SCA, so he had just finished a chainmail shirt, and asked if he could wear it under his uniform shirt, so long as it didn't show. The manager was just happy that he had someone willing to work nights, and said yeah, sure, so long as it doesn't show.
Guy starts working the night shifts, things are fine, he's getting used to everything, then late one night, a guy in a hoodie comes in, and asks for a pack of cigarettes. Our guy turns to get the pack, and feels a thump on his back. Turning around, scowling, he demands, "Did you just hit me??"
Guy in the hoodie widens his eyes, goes ash-gray, and faints. Clerk can't budge from behind the counter in case this is an attempt to distract and rob. But the guy remains out coold. Confused, our clerk calls the emergency services. EMTs come along and start checking out the patient, who is still out cold on the floor. While they're doing that, one of them comes up to the counter and asks what happened, exactly.
Our man tells the EMT, "Well, he just came in, looked around, came up to the counter and asked for a specific pack of cigarettes, so I turned to get them--"
And he demonstrates by turning his back to the EMT, who suddenly starts shouting, "--Sir! Sir! Are you okay? Don't move!"
Our man feels the EMT groping his upper back, and then the EMT asks,
"What the hell are you WEARING?"
"A chainmail shirt. I have to get used to the weight of it, so I wear it a lot. Why? Is something wrong?"
"You have a KNIFE in your back!"
"Uhh...no, I don't? I mean, I don't feel hurt? He only, like, punched me or something. There's no knife back there--I mean, I'd KNOW if there was a knife back there, right?"
EMT grabs the knife and pushes on his shoulder, yanking it out. "THIS knife! I'm going to need to examine your back!"
So they manage to get him out of his uniform shirt and out of the hauberk and out of the linen shirt under it (because chainmail bites suck, plus it's not nearly as fun as a Brazilian waxjob, because my SCA friend was hairy)...and it turns out he only had a very small scratch from the tip of the knife...which had gotten lodged in the riveted links.
...That was why the guy fainted. He'd stabbed the store clerk, who had turned around angrily, knife still lodged in his back.
Manager was so happy to have hired the guy, as that was the first time in like eight or nine months that the store hadn't been successfully robbed.

@copperbadge Some top of the line and fairly unnerving pottery art for you!
I actually follow @roseschmits on insta, it's delightful to see her here as well! She does fantastic work and also does a lot of trans-specific pottery (jars that are labeled HRT, pottery with gender-affirming surgical scars, etc) that I think my readership would enjoy.
Paging, @elodieunderglass!
My clinic has an unofficial mascot…
The mead goat. If female name her honey. (Edit how did auto correct get dramas from female? This goat is already causing chaos.)
🤣🤣🤣
As goats always do! She is female but has already been named Dolly. We’re in Tennessee and Dolly Parton is our patron saint.
Owls confirmed to be the creepiest birds ever. LOOK AT THE FUCKING THINGS. If you fail to notice the one on the left fucking SWALLOWING a rat, then you have the dude singing some satanic chant or something next to him, and then you have those two other fucking psychos synchronized to make you feel creeped the fuck out with their soulless dance of FUCKING DOOM.
I really am tempted to reblog this every time it’s on my dash. That description is one of the best things on the internet.
Yeahhhh, I want this on my blog again.
OMG MY FAVORITE TUMBLR POST EVER IT’S FINALLY BACK YAY!

We were just discussing this again and I had to reblog it again because IT IS MY FAVORITE
I’m permanently traumatized that you introduced me to this over lunch, EGT.

I hope this photographer won a prize
No matter the size, a cat is still a cat.
theyer old enough that they used to connect
They're older than Florida. The Floridian peninsula is the solidified runoff of the Appalachians that got caught on some coral. It's why we're like this, I think. You don't stand a chance of being normal when you were created by the shed skin of an elder god draping itself over a hollow skeleton. You're always going to be a little Off.
They used to be as tall as the Himalayas.
Okay but are they older or younger than sharks?
THEYRE OLDER THAN SHARKS BY LIKE THIRTY MILLION YEARS
@nyarevar pookie your mountain range is cool
older than blood, bones, sharks, AND the rings of saturn!
Paging @oldgodspod!
Seeing Tumblr gear up for the Ides of March in real time makes me realise I'd make a killing as a knife merchant. Get yours below

An ancient Roman soothsayer would be frothing at the mouth at this.
Hat tip @msilverstar isn’t this amazing… a little on the nose as an omen though!
It’s a horrible day in North America, and you are a prophetic goose…
Hi I have a question about Pacific Rim. Given that the sparring is just A way to test for drift compatibility and any activity that requires people to collaborate and anticipate each others moves works, including stuff like multi player video games
They are piloting a Jaeger together in my imagination
#hate this. im in the shatterdome trying to coordinate my jaegers in the field fighting for the fate of humanity #and these two chuckleheads over here won’t stop doing bits on the open channel #they keep defeating kaiju with slapstick routines and its INFURIATING
yeah the worst part is it's actually working for them
This honestly reminds me of something about Mythbusters.
Adam and Jaime are, notably, not friends. They don't actually particularly like each other. (Not, from what either has said, any animosity, just neutrality). Famously during the entire run of the show they never sat down and had a meal together.
Nonetheless, they both noted that they have an extremely high degree of trust for one another, can communicate well even non-verbally, and have keen insight into how the other one things.
I would say, Adam and Jaime would be drift-compatible. They could sync up very well.
Which suggests there would be a decent number of drift-compatible pilots who are really good pilots and not friends at all. And I think this opens itself up to some incredible anime-esque scenarios with Yandere and Tsundere relationships.
Ok, I need a 10,000+k word fanfic on this now!!!
