words through open windows

A few things of note:

This is why people to your left have been chiding you about the "pedo" panic: now, the government can accuse you of being a "pedo" to justify committing crimes against you.

There is also a difference between "There is nothing wrong with being a woman." and "Being a woman can be a wonderful thing."

They not only don't mean the first thing, they also define femaleness by suffering, by oppression, by trauma. So once these are gone, there will be no womanhood in their eyes. For gender criticals, no "true female" is happy, there is no such thing as "girl joy" in their world. Because according to them, to be female is to suffer. The first thing also is almost always said maliciously, with either implication or a direct following statement along the lines of: "But there are many wrong things with being trans." It's never about how being a woman is a good thing. It's a necessary evil, one that has to be done in order for women as a class to keep existing. Their womanhood is always miserable, there is no room left in it for happiness. This is why they don't care if trans people (especially their trans kids) regret transition. They only want to drag us down with them into their pain. Or maybe some of them even want us to regret it. Either way they do not have the safety or happiness of trans youth (and trans people in general) in mind.

Many TERFs also hate their ability to get pregnant, but reduce women (and everyone they see as women) to it. They hate it when someone is happy to be pregnant, especially if it's a marginalized person having a kid in a way that's most comfortable to them. A true pregnancy for them is one linked to suffering and misery. The same goes for nursing a kid. Because to them, real females hate their femaleness and what makes them female.

This is why they actually stand with the patriarchy. Their whole ideology is rooted and based on the patriarchal, white supremacist idea that to be female is to suffer (and be white and able bodied enough of course). They have to hate themselves in order to participate in their social circles. Because only good women under patriarchy are those that detest their own existence.

eyeshells aoolia zeelool lakoh vooglam lens alter

like, eyeshells in particular has a startlingly vast collection of asymmetric glasses:

(this isn't even all of them)

and also this steampunk nonsense that I love so fucking much and cannot justify spending any money on:

while aoolia has...tbh a lot of the frames the other sites have, but more expensive, but also, a collection of the gayest people you've ever seen:

though tbh not nearly as gay as whatever lens alter has going on:

and vooglam has uhhh...whatever this is!

huh.

(I can't vouch for any of these companies ofc, though I think I'll get something from at least one of them. ideally not the slime glasses, but hey!)

but honestly the absolute best thing I found in all of this is this site that makes vintage fashion, and which happened to have:

these replica victorian railway glasses like the bisexual guy in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter had, AND WHICH

you can even buy with prescription lenses, jesus fucking christ you have no idea how hard it is to not immediately drop $180 on this shit, I'm having to physically restrain myself, I want them so fucking bad

and hey, if you don't need prescription lenses, y'know what else you can buy from this site?

the glasses from national treasure 😭😭

Slavery is literally happening now. Police never stopped being slave catchers. People are supporting it now just like they supported it then.

it's hard to make a coherent argument for phonological changes because text-based website. lets ignore that one lol

from a morphological and vocabulary-based standpoint, there's a few. consider "glup shitto" and "blorbo", as well as generalized affix fuckery like -"ito" as a diminutive (from spanish but used here on non-spanish words), as examples of morphemes originally from tumblr. we also have the concept of the Sexyman (derogatory)

most of the really interesting tumblrspeak comes from syntax though. there is of course the oft-mocked, parodied, and misunderstood Tumblr Prose, where someone just sticks words together in an order that sort of conveys an aesthetic-based meaning as long as you don't think about it too hard and realize it doesn't make a whole lot of sense together

it's obvious what is being conveyed here even though the words barely function together. beyond Tumblr Prose, we also have Emphasis And Nounification Through Capital Letters, and its inverse where everything is lowercase unless it's being emphasized, as well as using sentences that while easily parseable by a reader do lack a lot of punctuation that would be desired by stricter english speakers often commas and periods. this last trait is particularly despicable considering the high amount of neurodivergence among tumblr users makes us very prone to run-on sentences anyway

there is also using "lol" and "lmao" similar to STOP on a telegraph, though it's hard to say how exclusive to tumblr this is

Not a biologist, but the evolution of mammals is way more granular than you might expect. Humans are the sole surviving species of the genus Homo, which was a real party before the other ones went extinct. You're in for a fun time.

Domestic cats are believed to be domesticated not from tigers, but from the African wildcat:

Which evolved to be small just because it's sometimes more useful to be small.

And no, hamsters are not off-brand rats. They're part of the rodent order, which includes beavers, moles, capybaras, guinea pigs (yes, also wild) and lots of other fun things:

if you have weird shit (figurative or literal) consider reading this with a highlighter ready:
