dreaming of you (A5 Cat Art Print) by robinillu
today my roommate got the funniest fortune cookie in the world and they framed it and now it’s hanging in our living room
“At my old job in public education, my office mate invented the concept of the 8 Weeks of Doom. This was defined as the period between New Year’s and Spring Break where it was dark and gray, there were few holidays, and everyone’s seasonal depression hit an all-time high. To combat the 8 Weeks of Doom, she started a tradition of making me a Doom Calendar, which is an advent calendar but for fighting the Doom. She’d include small fidgets, snacks, stickers, and fun tea, which I’d open whenever the Doom felt very high on a particular day. Eventually this turned into a standing tradition of us making each other Doom Calendars, and the concept spread to our whole department. We would eventually just start our department meetings checking in about how everyone was managing the Doom, and did anyone want to open a Doom Calendar door for a quick pick me up? Even though we’re not longer office mates, I still exchange a Doom Calendar with this friend every year anyway. It really does help with the Doom!”
I adore this for the same reason I like winter celebrations/special days: humans realizing they can act to change their perception of reality. The longest dark, the coldest time of the year, can be dressed up as a party with lights and shiny things, or firecrackers and dancing wearing a lion costume. We can clean and make music and loud noises and give each other nice things and if we all do it very hard, together, maybe we won’t be so cold and sad.

the floating head of wisdom
Please don't fall victim to internet misinformation. There is no floating head. It's a regular horse, it's neck is just hidden due to the position of the camera. I made an image to help you understand the what's actually going on.
Thank you for the clarification
being a trans guy directly post wwi and wwii was so easy. you could just be like yeah i got my dick blown off in the war and everyone would be like hey that happened to my buddy jim and not even question it. truly next level valor stealing to pass
not sure if yall know this but one of the first trans men to ever get a phalloplasty was a british guy named laurence michael dillon. dillon was a doctor himself (in fact he performed a gender affirming orchiectomy on roberta cowell) who had been taking T and passing as male for years, and he was watching harold gillies, a pioneer of dick surgery for the pandemic of Guys Who Got Their Hogs Rocked By Bombs from wwii, do all these dick reparation surgeries. so he got to wondering hey. if you can reconstruct a dick, can you construct a dick? they got to talking about it and eventually ya boy dillon got the surgery. so shout out to all those british dudes who lost their cock fighting nazis and inadvertently contributed research/techniques to The Transgender Cause ig
