when it comes to transition advice "if you cant grow your own then store bought is fine" has never led me wrong
"authenticity" doesnt matter just go for your own comfort. wear a wig, get breast forms or even get yourself implants instead of growing them in. there is no best or right way to be trans so get what you want by whatever means
What I truly love about Across the Spider-Verse is seeing people respond to a Marvel movie in a way that I literally haven't seen in YEARS. I don't think people realize how much and how profoundly these movies used to influence our culture. I remember the days when every single Marvel movie would prompt a massive influx of new memes, quips, jokes, and references. Marvel movies would trend for weeks after release. Even today, we still remember those iconic scenes and quote those memorable lines. But after Endgame, all of that hype and all of that cultural influence has really fizzled out. I genuinely can't remember more than a handful of notable lines from any of the movies or shows post-Endgame.
But ATSV? It's been weeks since the release, and it's still trending here on Tumblr. I can't even tell you how many memes and reels I've seen about bagels and canon events and anomalies, and it just. It makes me happy. The love and the magic? They're still here.
“humans don’t do anything for free” somewhere out there there is a guy who spent days if not weeks of his life cataloguing every stupid thing you can do on stardew valley so that you can minmax the fuck out of growing potatoes on a pixel grid for quite literally no reason but that it might help someone else
and let’s not forget the efforts of Mo’min Swaitat, who spent his time in covid lockdown salvaging thousands of tapes containing long forgotten Palestinian music and digitizing them:
Finally giving in and admitting to yourself that you have a fetish you were avoiding
my favorite part about this is that are no tags, no comments. everyone knows what theyre guilty of
I feel this on a spiritual level.
Didn't notice the GLARINGLY OBVIOUS change, and was instead desperately looking for the "had to do it to em" guy

This reminds me of a party I went to last year. I was standing with some friends, chatting, and someone said something that indirectly implied that sexism exists. Some trivial recounting of the basic facts of daily life for most women. Something so mild, so uncontroversial, so mundane that I don’t even remember what it was.
Suddenly, this man standing on the outskirts of our conversational circle piped up with “actually, I think men are more discriminated against than women these days.”
All conversation died.
I turned to look at him and he had this smug, insufferable grin on his face, relishing this moment, expecting us to waste our time and energy refuting this ridiculous thing he had just said.
The Devil’s Advocate was among us.
And, in my mind, I saw the next 15+ minutes playing out. The parade of facts and statistics in a vain attempt to defend ourselves, our gender, and to prove that misogyny is real. The glib, snide denials from some shithead who is getting off on our pain and frustration. The Gish Gallop of bullshit that would take a whole evening to properly dismantle. It was depressing and overwhelming. I hated it. I had to kill it before it began.
So I looked him dead in the eye and I said “OK,“ shrugged, and just walked away.
Nothing I have ever said to another human being has ever been so crushing. As I walked away, I watched the smug grin vanish and confusion and anxiety set in. The rest of the group turned their backs to him and carried on as if he had never spoken - as if he was invisible. He was still staring at me when I walked over to another friend and told her what he had said. I pointed him out for her and made direct eye contact with him while we both laughed.
tl;dr: Don’t feed the troll. Let it perish, cold and hungry, in the wasteland of your indifference. It is weak and you are strong. Live your best life.
less "straight but X as their exception" more recognizing bisexuality
less "he never loved his wife he was always gay and just needed x to make him realize" more recognizing bisexuality
A very, very gentle reminder that "prev tags" is now completely useless, bc you can no longer click back thru the reblog chain and see the prev tags. You can see the reblog in front of you, and you can find the original post - by itself, completely devoid of context - but you can't click thru to the previous reblog. This is apparently intentional, since I literally emailed support about it - being able to click back thru the reblog chain and being able to see the source post in context on op's blog are fundamental parts of the user experience imo and I am pissed - and their response was basically like yeah we meant to do that but if you want to talk about it you can go to our WIP blog, where the ask is literally only open one day a week and we will completely ignore you.
