having a time of it

god the promised bride is still one of the best short stories ever. not even as part of larger canon

story about how capitalism and patriarchy prey similarly on you. how you cannot escape your fate without becoming unrecognizable to yourself

everyone deserves a lifechanging lesbian experience. not a woman? simply have a lifechanging experience with a lesbian. im thinking a noble quest or hiding a body together or something.

okay yes you could also become a woman to initiate a lifechanging lesbian experience but dont let that stop you from going on quests. we can multitask this.

I just don’t caaaarreee. I don’t care. But I care a lot though I care SO much. But also I just don’t care at all and never have. But also I do and always will. Hope that helps

OOOOH. *happy YA librarian dance*

I want this in every library, everywhere. After all, some kids won’t even google this stuff because they don’t want parents/siblings checking their browser history.

This is really awesome. And if you’re not familiar with how the Dewey Decimal system works - the numbers subject-based, which means these numbers are applicable in EVERY library. So if you see something you want to research on this list - look for those same numbers in any of your local libraries.

This is wonderful.

Do most of these people perhaps live in a cartoon?

Theres a light switch in my hallway that does not control any lights. I don't know what it does but when I moved in four years ago the previous tenant told me to never turn it off. They weren't sure what it did either but had also been warned by the tenant before them

I really do love when I get called a fujoshi because, like. Look, it's not a cool thing to call any gay trans guy, but with me in particular, it is REALLY apparent that that's just your catch-all insult for gay trans guys. Really obvious that you were just throwing some spaghetti at the wall and hoping it stuck. You didn't even look at my blog. There's not even real life guys kissing on here. Or anime guys not kissing. I was just talking to my spouse about anime boys I am capable of naming, and here is the full list: Goku, Sasuke, Naruto, etc. That's all of them. Ain't a holier-than-thou thing, either. Just not my scene. And it's also a thing where, like. Let's strip away the porn and romance parts of it. I didn't transition to be a twink. If you did, I am hootin' and hollerin' and crushing beer cans against my forehead, but I'm fat and hairy and covered in tattoos and I often find myself in a hunting supply store staring at the novelty T-shirts and thinking, "That's a solid pun and a beautiful wildlife painting. I can't pass up the opportunity to wear this to a chili cook-off or perhaps to a different hunting supply store." Just the way it worked out for me, you know? I think maybe if you asked the people who know me to rank things they'd be likely to find me doing, they would all put "gnawing on a human corpse buck naked on the side of the road" slightly above "rubbing one out to anime boys kissing". But yeah. I definitely transitioned because I want to pretend that I am Sasuke kissing Goku. That's what I'm up to for sure, you ribbonless county fair hog.

Thinking maybe this post came off a little harsh, so I do want to clarify that if you're reading this and you want to kiss Goku so bad that you're thinking about going down to your local Planned Parenthood and doing some steroids about it because you feel like that's really gonna help you get into the zone Goku-wise, you might actually be the coolest dude on the face of the earth. I think you really know what you're about, and I'm into it big-time.

It was an important step for trans communities when the popular understanding of someone being trans shifted from "person who transitions sex and/or gender" to "person whose gender differs from the one assigned at birth" to leave transmedicalims in the dirt and be inclusive of "non-transitioning" trans people but i really think it's about time for a shift to "Being trans is a subversion of what gender is expected of you by cisnormative society" (as @status-quo-hater put it) to stop assigning significance to assigned sex/gender and be inclusive of trans intersex experiences that don't fit the current binary many perisex trans people cling to of "transfem = amab & transmasc = afab"

girl you've been running through my mind all day
