Dogs are machines that turn normal toys into wet yucky toys

you can really tell when someone's idea of a trans woman is "man who has decided he wants to be a woman now" and not "woman who was wrongfully assigned the label of Male"

the 'boy raised as a doormat' to 'princessgirl who wants to be pampered and adored and treated as better than anyone without having to earn it' pipeline

affirmations for the bus:

- it’s ok to be on-time

- you’re allowed to be at the stop at the time you’re meant to be there

- people won’t be upset if, when you get to the bus stop, you stop and let them onto the bus instead of making direct eye contact and driving away without stopping at the bus stop

- please

Haven't seen anyone talking about it here, but vocal transfeminist and writer Tara Knight has been sent a threat from the fbi insisting that she stop speaking about "radical gender ideology" and get rid of the past 3 years of her work.

A black trans woman is getting personally threatened by the fbi for being a transfeminist. What the fuck. Hopefully this gets more reach than my usual posts so that people who are able to can support her.

Here’s her latest post about it.

[Transcript: So as you all have likely heard I was forwarded a letter from the FBI informing me that my work and my platform and everything I’ve built over the past three years has to go, um, for propagating what they are calling ‘radical gender ideology’. Um, this comes from Trump Executive order, um basically saying I’m a propagandist for domestic… september eleventh… thing. Um, I would… I— I’ll just say, point blank, short period. I have no intentions of stopping anything. Maybe to my detriment but I’ve never been the smartest one. That’s— all I’m gonna say on this.]

Just as I was writing that transcript she posted this—

[Transcript: So I was told and informed that it’s probably in my best interest to tell all of you where you can find me in the event that I get deleted because having a platform is probably the only thing that will keep… everything okay, if you will. So I will provide the links and ads to my TikTok, my Substack, my Bluesky, the like. You’ll be able to find me there in the event… y’know. Y’know.]

^ just putting this here along with the transcripts, please support her if you can

Tumblr removed the linked materials. Never stop sharing about Tara Knight.

Tumblr has started banning and suppressing my articles and work. This is really scary for me.

I sincerely cant remember the last time that staff rolled out a feature that improved this website in any way

When they moved the reblog button to the bottom of posts

Where was it before?

at the top we had to scroll all the way back up in order to reblog

Wh

What the fuck

Lets hear it for Malicious Compliance

*filming literal mold* “There is a bit of a damp problem…” The signs saying “DON’T BUY THIS” are a beautiful touch.

Have you ever seen somepony more transgender?

i think onceler and vriska present a dichotomy.

A man can do whatever he wants, be an outright terrible hostile person, be comically evil, but as long as he shakes it off by being kinda quirky and has some vague cover that some of the things he did aren't 100% his choice, people love him. people sexualize him. people think he's funny and quirky and "complicated" even if he really really isn't.

A woman can be sincerely complicated. She can do all those same terrible things, but even if her narrative justifies why her moral code is the way that it is, even if she demonstrates some capacity for regret and even change, even if the narrative is purposefully trying to accomplish greater commentary with her character, she's still subject to infinite endless discourse about why she's terrible even if she's placed in a story with blatantly worse men.

the crazy thing is there is a onceler in homestuck. several, even. eridan is the easiest comparison to make, being from somewhat similar backgrounds. eridan just did all of that killing for fun though

honestly, maybe skylar white is a better comparison than vriska. woman who has a directly proportional response to the insane levels of gaslighting and actual murder her husband does, maligned cause she didn't let her husband be Awesome

We laugh at how The Art of War is basically just, "An army can't fight if the soldiers aren't eating," but I'm reading this document about conservation of ancient yew trees and it legitimately says, "You should never fill the center of a hollow yew with concrete," so I think that probably making blatantly obvious statements is just the bane of being a specialist in anything

OMFG.

Very curious doggo

Reminder that puffins are extremely social and like to fit in with their friends, so they will adopt mannerisms and interests of the group. So there is a good chance this little guy is trying to be friends with the photographer by showing his interest in the camera.

TIL photographers are a lot like puffins, cuz we also make friends by showing interest in your camera XD

Reminds me of the time researchers were trying to get puffins to land in a specific area so the put decoys up to draw them in but the decoys only had 1 leg and

this is so fucking cute
