code posts whatever the fuck here

the term originated specifically as transphobic slur coined by transmedicalists (on 4chan, but also on tumblr and twitter) to make fun of nonbinary people who "weren't trans enough"/"weren't REALLY trans"/etc. if you think it's okay to use these terms for nonbinary people you are siding with transphobes, full stop.

the following images are from a 2018 4chan thread specifically asking "what is a theyfab":

there's no magical category of people who it's okay for you to misgender btw. whether or not a nonbinary person is a bad person or not still doesn't give you the right to misgender them. just because someone uses "she/they" or "they/them" or neopronouns or whatever other combination of pronouns you want to imagine doesn't make it NOT misgendering when you start referring to them by their literal fucking assigned gender at birth.

"getting mad about [derogatory slur] is maybe the most [derogatory slur] thing you could do." idk maybe making leading comments and assumptions regarding both someone's agab and genitals in order to immediately demean them and call them a slur they don't want to be called is just not a good look. maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be calling strangers terms that have a historically transphobic and bigoted origin.

Immediately discovering that the way that other people live isn’t as dangerous as an abusive parent says it is

The male lead spends a lot of his time and energy pretending to be something he’s not to try to find a niche in life but really becomes happy only after dropping his macho lady killer facade

The first place Rapunzel finds help and gentleness in the outside world is in a bar full of people that are viewed as dangerous by society, including disabled people, conventionally unattractive people, and people who dress in odd costumes

The cutting of Rapunzel’s hair both literally and metaphorically kills her controlling parental figure. Sometimes to truly be free and be yourself you need to fully cut a controlling parent out of your life and it can feel like a death of sorts.

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

Huskerdust kitten time! In order we have Shirley Temple, Ace, and Lottie. Took a while to finish them up, but they're all done now!

The characters belong to @artyphex who made these beautiful fanbabies for Husk and Angel Dust after a filter game on tiktok. I've been following for a while and as soon as I saw the redesigned adult Shirley I knew I had to draw them. I just love these designs so much!

I'm so sorry for starving you guys. They can absolutely have a hug. <3

It's Techno Tuesday!

Yes, for some reason I don't think they had any Rivercane baskets at this exhibit, the Vinita cultural center is a bit small so maybe that had to do with it? But traditionally Rivercane baskets look like this:

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to in regards to this post but I am a tribal member who is posting this and these were taken at our own museum within our own territory in Oklahoma. This information provided is provided by our knowledge keepers and elders.

Boy, if only there was some kind of centralized location that was open to the public where you could go to learn about things! Maybe a location that has storage space for lots of items and displays to help people understand those items so that you're not constantly asking artisans to do the intellectual labor of explanation! Maybe a location that has room for artists in residency so that they can show you the things they do, or a location that has space to bring in guest speakers. Oh, and it definitely needs to have centralized digital infrastructure to store records based about items so that we're not making a bunch of scattered artisans write stuff down and keep it in boxes in their closet or something.

Like yeah this is Your Vessel. You can kinda change it, but not a ton. At least not without spending large amounts of money or having undesirable side effects. And no you can't choose how your Vessel looks, that's based on your parents sorry. Also as you age Your Vessel will change, sometimes in ways you don't want. Can't really do much about that either.

And all interactions have to be through Your Vessel. You can never escape Your Vessel. If you want to have irl friends they'll have to see Your Vessel. And if you don't show someone Your Vessel, they're going to have an image in their head about what Your Vessel looks like, and its almost certainly not what it actually looks like.
