shipping a consensual, safe & sane pairing all the while i'm shaking my head in disapproval so the audience knows i still love wildly toxic abusive fictional dynamics

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.

I have a suggestion!

YAAAAYYYY <3<3

it’s crazy to me that every seed in existence is a little chemical computer taking readings of temperature and moisture and minerals and all that to see if it’s able to grow yet and they’re doing crazy stuff like going into full dormancy and waiting for species-specific conditions etc etc and some seeds will do this in the size of a dust particle (see: orobanche) and some will pack in extra starch and food and do it in the size of a coconut or something… just dissected this flower seed at work that was a woody two-compartment capsule with one embryo per compartment, the whole seed a little smaller than a dime, and I swear to god it had a full soybean’s worth of embryo and food packed in there. it’s just unfathomable to me

sometimes a seed strikes me as being like a little spaceship with on-board life support and stuff. all that’s inherently certain about a seed’s existence is that its parents survived nearby, presumably, so if all goes well it’ll be set up for some kind of success falling where it falls, but ideally the seed won’t see those exact conditions, because being too close could also hurt the seed’s chances of survival… as could being too far away, like if it ends up in a different habitat or ecosystem and the right conditions never happen. The whole food-on-board strategy was a huge buff when they patched it in after ferns and other spore-bearing plants, but it’s still basically outer space, right? Just deploying a hundred ships to different planets in the same star system, hoping it’s not so different down there that it’s unsurvivable? like every seed is a chance and different plants are putting different amounts of food, effort, and strategy into those chances. so you get a million different seeds from a million different species and they all look and act different from the ground up. you know what I mean, man. you know what I’m sayin

grabbing people by the shoulders and shaking them. just because you hate ai and want their companies to die doesn't mean you should be pro the music industry's copyright lawsuit apparatus. the enemy of your enemy is not always your friend!!!!!! please!!! for the love of god

Hey folks, Swarnim's an old friend and a talented engineer. As Aruvi said, a dollar goes a longer way in India, and India's current regime is exceedingly unkind to trans women trying to find gainful employment, or even just live their lives. Please help a trans woman from the third world support herself!

got a crick in my neck and a frog in my throat and a chip on my shoulder and a stick up my ass and now you're gonna stand there puttin words in my mouth? haven't I been through enough?

ALSO let's be fucking crystal clear that the equation of butch with "transmasc" is yet another way people perpetuate transmisogyny. Y'all ALWAYS forget about butch trans women, or, if you don't forget, you choose to ignore and to exclude butch trans women. What if you fucking didn't do that???

pollo👍

the only difference between me and my gf is she got different hormones in utero. i wish people could see that being trans was really more of a medical thing. your brain Literally feels relieved and balenced once you get hrt into you- it's not just that it starts changing the physical aspects of your body that make you feel better! and its because its really a hormone disorder and your brain and body medically need the correct hormones!

We're many years away from good research on the topic, but sex hormones are neuroactive steroids, it's entirely believable that HRT tangibly improves the state of your brain on a biological level.

hahahahahahah we are never getting away from "born this way" huh. now i cant think of a single troubling ideological implication with "gender is immutable from the womb i just had the wrong hormones." can you?
