Sometimes I be forgoring

Hey making a pinned post of an ongoing list of ways to help Palestine. This is mostly a way so I don't forget to do arab.org everyday but might as well compile a list. Please dm me or send me an ask if I should update or add anything.

i have some stuff to add

Do you have any lore-based theories as to why, in Phineas and Ferb, the leader of the O.W.C.A. (Major Monogram) and his intern (Carl) are humans, despite the organization otherwise being made up of non-human animals? I am personally suspicious that there may be some dimensions of power dynamics or exploitation of cheap labor at play, given the obvious outsized control humans hold over non-humans and the general lack of concern by human civilization for animal welfare.

If the system ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess! Accounting may not be the oldest profession, but someone had to keep the books for them.

of COURSE there are trans men who don't mind it, or trans men who actively enjoy being called a twink. but I am not hairless by choice. I WANT fat and muscles and body hair and a deep voice. and a lot of trans men that get called twinks DO HAVE THESE THINGS, yet they get called "twink" anyway. why do you think that might be?

I wonder if the inverse occurs with trans women getting called "butch" too. because there are many wonderful butch trans women!!! but if you call trans women "butches" for traits like short hair or body hair despite otherwise feminine presentation, maybe think about why that is? is she really a butch? or is that just her body? just ask first!

since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...

To whoever needs to hear this, your parents and other adults categorically, shamelessly lied to you btw when they said that you'll grow out of video games eventually, or that you won't have time for games (or insert any other leisurely hobby here) as an adult. Take it from someone who's nearly in their mid 30s now. You, in fact, HAVE to make time for hobbies that engage your brain, challenge you, or entertain you, without forcing you to be PRODUCTIVE. Or you'll go insane. This is 100x as important if you work in an industry like mine where you're on call nearly 24x7 for things that go wrong The human brain was not designed to spend all day worrying about deadlines and outages or whatever corporate horoscope slop people are reading this week.
