Please call this recession the Trump Slump.
We need to put Trump's name on this.
if ever anything I wrote were to ever go viral, let it be this. Let everyone talk about the Trump Slump. I want to hear this term in the news.

I so desperately want to be able to convince Trump supporters with facts and logic and empathy, but itβs so important to remember that their ignorance is INTENTIONAL. my mom didnβt let us watch Sleeping Beauty growing up. I asked her why recently and she said, βit was evil.β when I pointed out other movies had similar themes and depictions of evil, and asked what the difference was, she couldnβt. I pressed one more time and she just said, βit felt evil to me. I didnβt like itβ. same thing with dune 2: she said it was βdarkβ, and I was, βliterally, like the movieβs lighting? Or the themes?β and she said βI donβt knowβ and didnβt want to talk about it more. many conservatives genuinely cannot tell the difference between βI donβt like itβ and βthis is evilβ and they do not care to learn despite many chances

Is anyone else ever genuinely shocked when you find out you have an impact on someoneβs life? A coworker can be like βIβve missed seeing youβ and Iβm just like β???? you?? missed me????? My presence has an effect on your daily experience???? I affect things??? W h a t ? ? ?β
Yes. Even though my current team is pretty amazing about flinging compliments and appreciation at each other - it still hits home.

The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.
They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.
Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.

Have you ever met up with an online friend that you met through a fandom?
No, but I do have a feeling one day there will be a very long brunch and wander in some city, somewhere

I'm sure this will be completely unbiased
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
They are targeting adults.
US people:
Create a backup plan for access to HRT. Now.
Prepare in advance, stockpile what you legally (or in minecraft) can, find diy that you trust.
They are going to take your medically required medication from you. This study is expected to start in about six months, and will likely be bullshit that only takes a couple months after that. There is still time.
However, I would predict an almost guarantee of a major federal legal restriction on adult HRT access in the 6mo-1yr from now range. I don't want any of the bullshit I got at the time of the election about "fearmongering". I stand by everything I said then.
here's the updated version of diyhrt.wiki, diyhrt.info. the old one is no longer kept up with. please spread this site instead. also, check out r/TransDIY and r/estrogel on reddit for info on homebrewing hormones.

A friend has once again brought it to my attention that it is unusual to have an intact chronological memory of life prior to age 12 and you know whatβs weird to ME is that the rest of yall forgot how to sing the clean-up song
Other shit:
- The crotch-and-chin destroying hell of a toddlerβs carseat
- How fucking scary stairs are when you JUST figured out walking. βYou can stand upβ nah fuck that these steps go up to my knees and Iβm top-heavy Iβm gonna scoot down on my ass thank you
- Walking alongside fucking giants whose legs are bigger than your whole fucking body and trying to keep up
- Not knowing how to blow your nose and everyone expecting you to just figure it out by holding a tissue and saying βblowβ like WHAT DO YOU MEAN CLOSE MY THROAT? Just an absolute snot waterboarding
- People describing how to make sounds with your mouth but you canβt see inside their mouth when they do it so you kind of just guess over and over while they tell you you still donβt got it
- Not having a full grasp of language but fully understanding CONCEPTS so you say shit like βare we going to the park later?β When you mean TOMORROW but all you can come up with is shit like βthe next time we have lunch, not today but after today, after thatβ like a fucked up game of verbal post-brain injury Pictionary where people wonβt let you get mad about it
- Just. Mucus. Mucus and chapped skin, all the time, chin and upper lip. And youβre not supposed to lick it cause the spit is the PROBLEM but itβs fucking OBNOXIOUS. βJust keep the skin dryβ wow thanks Iβve been aware of this mechsuit for about ten minutes and still havenβt fully mastered not falling into the toilet but yeah I know how to stay on top of that, cool
- FALLING INTO THE TOILET
- Trying to eat at a table where the surface comes up to your chin but not being able to get high or close enough cause you canβt scoot your chair in and your hands still donβt coordinate good so you end up just spooning tomato sauce onto your lap like an asshole. Like yeah mom my bad, have you considered though that I ALSO donβt want me to be covered in sauce? Cool
- Adults being WAY too excited about shit that straight up is not worth the hype
- Carpet burn. Constant carpet burn. Crawling, tripping, shuffling between toys on the floor. So much goddamn carpet burn
- Knowing exactly what youβre talking about and zero people understanding because they think youβre too dumb for what youβre trying to communicate
- Being told to wave at or hug complete strangers. And they always smelled kinda weird but you werenβt supposed to say it
- The feeling of meeting an older kid and they act like theyβre your manager or something
- Encyclopedic knowledge and name of every single person in your grade 1 class, and their interests
- Stroller rides. You could zone out at the ground for hours I swear to god
- Dropping something while buckled into a carseat or stroller and not being able to get it and just resigning yourself to a life in hell
- Dropping something while youβre in a carseat and it goes UNDER YOUR ASS and you canβt fucking GET IT
- Other children getting away with just absolute war crimes. Imagine if Sharon showed up to the office potluck and offered you a cookie and after you ate one revealed that she licked it. Imagine if Gord took your stapler and put it down his pants so you couldnβt get it back. Imagine if for no reason at all your coworker told you your dad was stupid and then put your laptop in the garbage
- Not remembering what different foods are called and getting pressured into agreeing to food you were NOT FULLY AWARE OF. How the FUCK is a chicken wing different from a chicken strip you ask? βWell, one just has a bone in it!β You fool. You fucking idiot. They might as well be from different animals entirely. But now you gotta eat it cause we donβt waste food (hell)
Yes Iβve talked about this before and yes Iβm going to talk about it again because every single person on earth should be fully and viscerally aware that being a kid feels like every description Iβve ever read of recovering from a stroke and we all grow up and forget and talk about childhood like it was magic.
Yeah some of it was fun and all but donβt you remember FALLING DOWN CONSTANTLY? You donβt remember needing help putting a shirt on cause you got your arm stuck and couldnβt get out and panicked so bad you started crying? You DONβT remember being just CONSTANTLY STICKY? Ohhh my good, pissing yourself. Pissing yourself was the worst. Christ alive, and being put in the playpen with a weird kid
Why were you falling into the toilet?
I WAS LIKE TWO FEET TALL
Today, the mainstream scientific consensus is that gender and sexuality exist on a spectrum throughout nature, but that hasn't always been the view.
In Fluid: Life Beyond the Binary, a documentary from The Nature of Things, historian Jules Gill-Peterson and host Mae Martin look back on several milestones in the flawed (but still influential) history of gender science.
Well, this a refreshing blast, after all the toxic crap swirling around. Taking a stand against badly-done science and the harmful effects it leads to, instead of "discussing the issues". And Mae Martin rocks.

Hey iβm a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. Iβve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. Iβll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
plussizedandrogyny
Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!
OP I owe you my life
OP you are the greatest person currently in my life. You beautiful, thoughtful creature.
You are a saint thank you so much

The tik tokification of 'bad words' like sex/seggs suicide/unalive pedohile/PDFile grape/rape only originally censored because of moderation rules but now in colloquial (online) speech is going to send me to an early grave
Idk there used to be the sex pistols saying fuck on tv and now randos won't type out rape in a youtube comment. Not that time is linear but it's a weird purity(?) moment looking back.. If you're 17 you should be saying bad words that's supposed to be ur whole thing come on
It should really be mentioned that these "moderation rules" were put in place not to protect the youth from any "bad" language, but to appease to the sensibilities of advertisers and credit card companies who didn't want to be associated with such language.
This weird "purity" moment is in fact corporate sanitization, and call me crazy, but I think corporations shouldn't be allowed to shape the language and culture of the common person in such a manner.
I feel like it's a good time for everyone to go and watch George Carlin's 7 Words You Can't Say on TV.
