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.

the transition im crying

I am walking onto the field. Haters are forcefully removing me from the premise

Hey I was at this game!!! I went with a friend. We didn’t know what was happening because we were on the second level like next to the Jumbotron (that’s still a great spot imo) just that the game stopped and people were talking and I swear I heard someone on the level below us say “A possum?!” Didn’t find out what it was until after the game. Now Texas Tech has a mascot that’s a possum in a bowler hat.

They turned that flag into rally rags (which I did get by showing up possibly very early to a game).

I like how leverage has a genius character and an autistic character but the autistic character isn't the genius character. the genius is a 22 year old black man with adhd who becomes an expert in anything you give him within 24 hours and the autistic character is a white woman who jumps off buildings for fun and once stabbed a man with a fork because he encroached on her personal space and sense of moral conduct

This cat looks like the starry night sky and none of us had big enough brains to foretell her coming. I am lost in wonder. Great cat.

@elodieunderglass is this in your realm?

What a great pattern!

Glade plug-ins but for your ass?

NASA advertising "do you want to be an astronaut" to tumblr users surely means something. What have you found out there, NASA? What have you found that you believe tumblr users, specifically, are best equipped to handle?

gotta include the bonus panel

this one’s for the aging tumblr userbase: what’s your least favorite bit of corporate jargon? not the worst corporate concept, just the particular string of PowerPoint®️ Presentation words that makes you want to depart your own skin whenever you hear it

mine’s “drip plan”

i’m sorry this one is brand new to me and it’s the funniest shit i’ve ever heard. rip to prev’s best intentions but i WILL be spreading this contagion to my workplace immediately. you gotta socialize your vp of operations like you found them under a trash bin covered in fleas and if you don’t meet the quarterly objectives they’re going to start biting the neighborhood children.

The word "opportunity" is dead to me, because of how much I hear it used as a stand in for "something that used to be an included benefit is now an optional reward that you must work for the potential of receiving (ps the goalposts will always be moved further away)"

I hate the word "opportunity" now for different reason.

Opportunity = "thing that is broken or sucks"

As in: "We have a new opportunity: Our server crashed and deleted 25% of accounts."

It spins.

I saw a viral post about how stripper poles spin.

I know, right?

It is such a fun feeling when you give your brain BRAND NEW INFORMATION.

But I am never content with a simple BRAND NEW INFORMATION high. I am too curious. My brain needs more. It has more questions. So I seek out ALL OF THE INFORMATION POSSIBLE.

So I started researching stripper poles.

Surprisingly, it involved very little nudity.

I learned how they function. How they are installed. What is the *best* stripper pole? How much is a stripper pole? How long does it take to learn how to do cool spinny tricks?

And now I'm basically a stripper pole expert. That is all stuck in my brain. And I don't really know what I'm going to do with my vast stripper pole knowledge, but I'm sure it will make for a fun conversation at some point.

Here are some more fun facts about stripper poles.

They don't all spin. It's a choice! You can do static pole routines or spinny pole routines. But if you are really fancy you can get a combination static/spinny pole. Some even allow the dancer to switch between modes during their routine. Though I can't help imagining someone accidentally going from spinny to static and hurling naked off the stage.

Most stripper pole manufacturers market them as "fitness poles." Which... sure. The Hitachi Magic Wand is a personal massager that you can use to soothe your muscles after a good workout on your fitness pole. Maybe we can compromise and just call them dance poles.

X-Pole is probably the top-of-the-line manufacturer along with Lupit. A good pole could run about $500. But they have some as high as a thousand. Some are permanent installations but they have a portable version with a heavy base for all of your nomadic pole dancing needs.

They also have a pole that doesn't attach at the bottom. I get motion sick just watching the video, but it does look like fun.

It's actually a beautiful art form. It would be a cool Olympic sport if it didn't have the stigma. I enjoy watching people spin fully clothed. I think you appreciate it more with less boob floppage.

This also got me thinking about other things strippers could use during performances.

What about a jungle gym?

A mini ninja warrior course?

Hula hoops?

Perhaps some kind of exotic shake weight dance routine.

OH.. I know!

Being really into Frankenstein while at the same time being Chinese is so funny because every time Lord Byron gets brought up, the way his name is pronounced always makes me think of the word 白人 (bái rén), which translates into “white guy”. Lord White Guy.

Nara Park was one of our favourite days out on our last trip to Japan - there are deer all over the place and they're mostly really friendly (but sometimes a tiny bit rowdy!)
