i truly think that this recent trend of “if you relate to a post about a different identity than your own you are ~derailing~ and taking over the conversation” is incredibly harmful.

i recently experienced some pretty severe transphobic abuse in my workplace (children’s home) that included having food thrown at me, being called slurs, being told i was a pervert because i am trans. one of the managers talked with me afterwards and shared that he had had a similar experience as an Asian man. this wasn’t him derailing my experience, or talking over me, or making things about himself. he was communicating “hey, i know how it feels and how much it sucks. you’re not alone.”

THAT is what solidarity IS. i don’t know what it’s like to be Asian, he doesnt know what it’s like to be trans, but we both had a similar experience and we were able to turn a horrible experience into an opportunity for bonding and comfort.

stop looking at people’s attempts as solidarity as an attack. and hey, you never know - you could find an opportunity to grow closer to other people.

"eeerm can transmascs under this posts shut up... this one is for the girlies..." i forgot that my entire life of suffering as a woman got erased actually the moment i put he him in my bio sorry

Call me whatever names you wish, but I think this is a much better (and healthier) attitude than “anyone under 18 should never be allowed to see any sexual imagery ever”

(For reference: this was at the Tom of Finland exhibition, containing actual, queer, kinky af pornography. There were definitely some young people there, perhaps in their late teens. There was even a parent with their baby who was probably too young to understand anything at all. And guess what, all those people are probably going to be fine.)

[ID: a sign saying “Please note: there is no age limit, but the exhibition is not recommended for children due to the explicit sexual imagery it contains. Parental or guardian discretion is advised.”]

Hey this is a pretty cool approach maybe we should take that to the Internet instead of trying to invade the privacy of millions of adults because some parents can't parent their kids

At first I’m like huh, okay…

BUT THEN HELL ERUPTS

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK OH GOD

Complete and utter chaos.

holy shit

Me listening to this was just

Every time I'm forced by circumstance to hand-sew something, I remember a fairytale I once read. There are lead-up shenanigans as the humble protagonist helps small animals and meets the princess and all that, but in the climax, the princess rigs a contest for her hand by setting her own task: sew her a dress in a single night.

The noble suitors, who have never sewn a thing in their lives, sabotage themselves by their own ambitions: they choose difficult fabrics to work with and cut huge, elaborate patterns and select gems and pearls and beads to sew onto it, and snip such long bits of thread that they lose time detangling their stitches, and ultimately resort to pinning bits together as they run out of time, so that their offerings initially look beautiful and flashy, but when the princess tries them on they stick her with pin ends and fall apart as she moves.

The humble protagonist uses a very simple pattern without embellishments and sews using short lengths of thread (snipped off and threaded for him by little birds of course) which don't tangle and therefore save time. His dress is plain by contrast, but holds together and the princess is able to move freely in it, and so he wins the contest and her hand.

I particularly think about the bit about threading the needle with shorter lengths of thread, needing to tie off more often but avoiding tangles and thereby saving time.

I then ignore that piece of wisdom passed down through who knows how many years and proceed to cut the longest damn length of thread I can manage because I hate tying off beginning or ending knots and I will not subject myself to more of that even if it does mean more tangles along the way.

if you wrap the end of the thread around the needle several times you can slide it all the way down the length of the thread for a super easy beginning knot

also like yall know how ive said before that the idea that trans people should stay off certain social media sites because those sites are riddled with transphobes (which btw every social media site is riddled with transphobes) is ignoring the issue at hand which is that trans people should be able to be on social media without receiving transphobic harrassment and violent threats for being trans? i also feel the same about trans men in particular. we as trans men should be able to exist on social media without other trans people posting about how much they hate trans men and how they want us forcibly deteansitioned, threatening us, ect. ALONG with the typical transphobic harrassment we get as trans people as well. i think trans men should be able to follow trans women on social media without later on being exposed to her crashout about how much she hates trans men because a trans man broke her heart or said he related to her talking about transmisogyny

I have a confession to make... I thought the idea of wireless headphones like air pods were so so stupid when they first came out. But having owned wireless headphone pods with a case I have to admit that I do enjoy them quite a lot. But we should still eat the spleen of every person who lobbied to phase out the headphone jack in electronics

Diverse, well-integrated farms like coltura promiscua support significantly more native biodiversity than modern monocultures. Source: BUNDESAMT, F. U., & LANDSCHAFT, W. U. (1997). Umwelt in der Schweiz 1997. Berna, Buwal.

True enough, but, monocultures produce significantly more crop yield with lest wasted space. The difference between the top two images and the last are the top two are designed to keep a farm fed or part of a community where the last one is designed to keep masses fed and self resupply seed and feed for the farm. Different farming for different needs. Small "diverse" patches are more susceptible to blights, crop failure, and destruction caused by the local insect and animal life. Where large crop fields are less susceptible to such things and proper land rest and crop rotation ensures the proper usages of land and water resources. If you think your local store is supplied all year by the top two you are either diluted or live in a very small town. When they say "locally sourced" they are talking about large farms not mom and pop's vegetable garden.

>Small "diverse" patches are more susceptible to blights and crop failure. Where large crop fields are less susceptible to such things.

I think you may have this backward. Monocrops are more susceptible to blights and require genetic engineering and specialty patented pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides to survive. These pesticides then kill both native animals and plants, while building up in our water supply and causing expensive and deadly long term issues in human populations such as cancer. While small diverse crops are less susceptible to total crop failure because you have different species to fall back on if you were to lose, for example, that year's corn crop.

While monocultures do produce a far higher yield, something that is currently needed in our high human population world, they are also much worse for the environment and lead to many problems. Plus, they are completely dependent on the fossil fuel industry, as they require fossil fuels to make their fertilizers. The straining of the earth's resources is a different problem, but a definite step in the right direction is to eliminate food waste as currently 30-40% of all food is thrown away before it is eaten.

If you want to learn more about this particular system, I recommend you look into coltura promiscua. It's a really fascinating system of agriculture that was almost lost, and until recently, was the last example of the indigenous forest gardens of pre-agricultural Europe. This system is especially helpful for people who want to grow more of their own food, but don't want to destroy the biodiversity found on their land or want to offer protection to animals that may have been chased off of other people's land.

The tumpet 🎺

It's Tumpet Tuesday. Bwaaa.

“My husband plays the trumpet, which is a sort of loud pretzel originally invented to blow down the walls of fucking Jericho and, later, to let Civil War soldiers know it was time to kill each other in a river while you chilled eating pigeon in your officer's tent twenty miles away, yet somehow, in modern times, it has become socially acceptable to toot the bad cone inside your house before 10:00 a.m. because it's "your job" and your wife should "get up." What a world! If one was feeling uncharitable, one might describe the trumpet as a machine where you put in compressed air and divorce comes out, but despite this— despite operating a piece of biblical demolition equipment inside the home every bright, cold morning of his wife's one and only life—the trumpet is not the most annoying thing about my husband.”
