In the Forests of the Night

People die on the job every summer. Remember that water and shade breaks are crucial when working in the heat, and calling emergency services for signs of serious heat illness (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, headaches, dizziness, clammy skin, confusion, agitation, slurred speech, high body temperature, rapid heart rate, etc.) is entirely appropriate. If you’re afraid to call 911 for reasons such as being undocumented, you’ll need to get very familiar with how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat illness. If you are symptomatic and not allowed a break, water, or medical treatment, walk out. No matter how broke you are, your job is not worth your life.

Official please put yourself first sign

one thing that irks me about "just do diy!" when i talk about how expensive it is to get on T legally is like. i don't hear that with any other illegal/controlled medications. i take concerta for my adhd and have not once heard someone tell me to just go get street adderall

I think the craziest thing about the transmasculine experience is the way that no matter what you're doing, you're seen as taking something from someone. If a post of yours goes viral, you're silencing trans women. If you go to the gynecologist, you're lying your way into women's spaces and harming both trans and cis women. If you date a gay man, you're raping him by deception. If you date a trans woman, you're stealing t4t from trans women. If you date a cis woman, you're either labeling yourself a lesbian and stealing lesbianism as a concept, or you're straight and thus lying about being queer. If you talk about being raped, no matter what gender your rapist was, you're weaponizing your AGAB and harming trans women. No matter what, to speak as a transmasculine person is to be seen as causing irreparable harm to women, and often cis men as well.

I love when you go on a date with someone and you’re like. well that was neither wonderful nor horrendous. You seem Fine. I’m sure if this was the 18th century and we were gentry arranged married to secure our fathers respective land interests we would care for each other in our way. you would buy me nice horses that I really had no interest in but would admire how gentle you were with them and when I died in labor during my third pregnancy you would tell our surviving heirs that their mother was a handsome woman who never drank too much and embarrassed herself in company

always interesting whenever people start talking about polyamory as particularly unstable or prone to jealousy bc it begs the question of if they’ve ever seen or heard of monogamous couples

are you aware that those people are having sincere earnest discussions on whether following someone on social media counts as cheating

“oh I’m too old for stuffed animals” skill issue. sorry you can’t appreciate little creatures made to hang out with you, I on the other hand am full of joyous whimsy and therefore vastly superior.
