you have a feeling it's going to be a long day

people who say they are trans are trans. period. even if they “still look cis,” even if the only difference you, personally, notice is that they use different pronouns, even if they are totally closeted. people who call themselves trans are not cis. you do not get to un-trans someone because they do not present the way you want them to, or because they are closeted, or because they don’t pass, or for any other reason. if you see a trans person and your first thought is “gtfo trans spaces, you are not Trans Enough,” that is a you problem and you should square that away before you make any attempt to interact with other trans people. 

some of us live in the real world, where it isn’t so easy or safe to be fully out or present the way we’d actually like. some of us don’t have access to the resources that would allow us to pass. some of us will never pass and don’t care about it anymore. and even if none of these things were the case, for fuck’s sake, presentation is not gender. nonbinary people who present in ways congruent with their assigned gender are not somehow less trans.

4chan memorial post. rest in hell

literally can't stop thinking about handsome boy mushroom

twitter asked for equius boobs so I gave them to them

Ya know I'm starting to think RFK Jr. does not actually know what autism is

Every time RFK Jr. opens his mouth I am reminded of the concept of Fractal Wrongness

It's the typical conspiracy theorist thing of saying something in ten seconds that takes 10 minutes to fully unpack and debunk

I cut out all these Samus's for a project I'm working on since I couldn't find transparent versions of them. Thought I'd share. A lot more under the cut.

can i join your discord server and say nothing and do nothing and stare at you like this

this is the worst fucking day of my life, and yet i am not surprised in the slightest.

toph is an icon for disabled people. she’s one of so few blind characters who is a hero and whose disability is not her weakness or fatal flaw. while it does make her life harder, as any disability does, it also gives her strength. she is the greatest earthbender of her generation. she invented a whole new subsection of bending. the people behind the live action production had a chance to make history just by doing the bare minimum: casting a blind actress to play a blind character. they couldn’t even do that.

not only that, but they’re making her “slightly more feminine” to “humanize” her. as if there weren’t so many young girls out there who looked up to toph because she was weird and didn’t fit the mold. in “tales of ba sing se” she tells katara, “i don’t care what i look like. i’m not looking for anyone’s approval. i know who i am.” to have a female character who doesn’t conform to beauty standards is so important especially right now with the prevalent beauty influencer culture.

while the original cartoon’s representation of women wasn’t perfect, it was diverse. katara and ty lee were both feminine. they liked to dress up and look pretty. toph is not feminine. she grew up forced to dress in formal clothes and style herself a certain way and decided to liberate herself from that. all three of these women are incredibly strong and incredibly talented at what they do, and none of that is impacted by their appearance or gender presentation.

every day, my hatred for the netflix version of avatar grows.

btw you will miss this in 5 or 10 years. memory will smooth these circumstances down like a river stone, and you will find yourself longing for a shade of light or a moment of this particular innocence. you don't know about what happens next, and one day that will be the most alluring thing of all. don't leave it all for nostalgia. have a nice night now, whatever night it happens to be.

hey americans there is a recall on testosterone gel because they found benzene in it! please check the lot numbers on your batches, benzene is really not something you want to be rubbing into your skin, also you might be eligible for compensation because this is just insane what the fuck

more on this page:

not only testosterone gel has been recalled - if you click on the link above, you’ll see that there are a lot of other medications affected, ranging from ibuprofen to thyroid medication to psych meds and a whole bunch in between. i’d say usamericans who use ANY medication should check this list just to be safe

no one will know which one it is.
