youre weirdly obsessed with finding meaning
idk what perisex person needs 2 hear this but intersex ppl actually dont need your permission to identify as transmasc or transfem or transgender in general, or cisgender for that matter, or anything at all. your opinions on how intersex ppl describe their gender + their relationship to gender arent relevant at all!
and if you think your opinion on an intersex survivor of IGM or CIMI's gender identity is remotely relevant? well. lets just say 30-50 feral hogs will be descending on your location shortly 💛💜
so the times of london was doing a story on the nyc mayoral race and they emailed bill de blasio to get his take and he responded with a long conservative screed about how mamdani's policy math doesn't add up and raising taxes is always a bad idea that doesn't bring money into the city, which caused a huge uproar for obvious reasons (chief among them being de blasio was our most left-wing mayor and has also publicly endorsed mamdani already). and then the statement was retracted. now it turns out the reporter emailed the wrong bill de blasio who is not THE bill de blasio and the bill the blasio they emailed clearly thought it would be hilarious to respond with some shit mayor BDB would never say, and then the times was just like "yeah sounds right!" and ran the story. genuinely incredible stuff happening in the home stretch of this neverending slog of an election

People: I know that you want tattoos but you shouldn’t get them as soon as you’re eighteen!! You need to be sure that you’ll still want them when you’re grown up!!!! You might like a tattoo now but you can’t be sure you’ll still like it in your forties or fifties!!!!!!!!
Me, a person who has trouble visualising the future and literally cannot imagine themself living past about 25: okay…
Hey op did you ever get the tattoo? Do you still like it?
Fuck this is a wild one to see again, especially as someone now about 3 weeks away from officially making it past 25:
- I remember 2016 as being the worst year of my fucking life, in ways it’s gonna be hard to beat and the universe better not fuckin try
- since 2016, I’ve gotten a degree in a field that I love, been in a toxic relationship, had a toxic relationship end, been in a kind but ultimately not what we wanted relationship, had that end too, been single for a while, learned I’m trans, started hrt, gotten in a different lovely proudly queer relationship which I’m very happy in, made friends, lost friends, mourned friends, made new friends, gotten a job I liked, made manager, quit, got another job that lets me do a bit of good in the world, gotten top surgery, travelled, swam shirtless in the warm sea, written half a dozen zines and a poetry chapbook, performed poetry, accepted I’m probably never gonna make a career out of poetry alone, gone on and off and on again various mental health treatments and hopeful that this one will stick for as long as it needs to, walked probably a thousand or more cumulative miles wearing through the soles of half a dozen or more boots, laughed, cried, rested, collapsed from fatigue, crawled back out again
- if I could reach back to the kid making this post… buddy, I’m not gonna say it’ll all be alright, because that’s pat and trite and diminishes the very real struggles of growing. But we cut our hair and change our name and grow a beard and we’re not Quite out of the shitty little hometown but we’re getting there. I think you’d like the jumper I’m wearing. I saw mcr live and I know you’d kill me with jealousy for it. I took you with me, as much as I could. I still think you’ve got great taste in movies, and I’ve got some new recs for you.
- I now have 4 tattoos! None of them are the ones I thought I’d have, but that’s okay. The first one is not an art style I’d choose today but the design holds a ton of meaning for me, and always will, and I don’t regret it. The other 3 are a more cohesive art style - maybe I could have changed the placement or tweaked some details, but I don’t need to, they’re part of me now and they’re beautiful for it. I’m excited to get more and to live long enough to reflect on them like this again and again and again
- 25 felt impossibly old to you. Right now it feels both impossibly old and impossibly young. I’m glad I got to see what it brought me, even the shit parts
- I’ll put aside a slice of cake next month in your honour
I’m glad I asked. I’m glad you’ve made it this far. I hope we both make it another 10 years and it keeps being worth it.
Have y'all heard about the dog groomer that dyed a dog green without the owners consent?
The post started circulating in my pet industry groups and now it's hit the news, shit is bananas
I fell down this rabbit hole so hard and it just gets worse and worse. Like at the end of the news article about it they have a response from her and…
“UpNorthLive reached out to Boyles to see if she was interested in explaining her side.
This is the statement she sent in response:
‘I would like to address some recent comments regarding my actions. Throughout my career, I have always aimed to maintain a positive and respectful environment. I acknowledge that my decision regarding the splash of color may have crossed certain boundaries, and for that, I sincerely apologize.
When the family left my establishment, they appeared to be happy, and I received no indication of any dissatisfaction at that time. I even provided them with a card and additional treats as a gesture of goodwill. In an effort to resolve any concerns, I issued a refund prior to the online comments made about me.
I understand that my initial apology may not have been perfect, but my intention was to minimize conflict and ensure a positive outcome. It's disheartening to see how some individuals choose to diminish others rather than support them.’”
How can anyone be this stubbornly unable to admit fault? How can you possibly, with hindsight and SO much backlash, not understand how egregious this is??? Completely bananas!
Perhaps the wildest thing though is that the instance that went viral isn’t even the most bonkers one? Like look at this one!

ALTIt’s so bad that other grooming businesses with similar names are needing to post to explain that they are not the one that dyes dogs bright colours without owners’ consent! Bonkers.
someone else notes in another chain that there's unlikely to be actual "permanent" (chemical process) color that is pet safe and confirms that Opawz is not actually permanent, it appears to just be a particularly pigmented semipermanent. the difference between permanent and semipermanent dye has to do with whether you are just depositing pigment into the hair shaft, or actually creating some sort of chemical process with the hair protein at the same time. neither 7 hours nor 13 hours are appropriate or reasonable amounts of time to groom or dye a dog of these two types unless they are rescue cases with severe matting so i have to assume based on the photo of the groomer with her entire hand covered in dye and no glove (???) that she was just applying and reapplying dye badly on these poor dogs over and over again anyway its a matte of time until she poisons or injures someone's animal if she hasnt done it already
