I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!

for those interested, the photographer is Jess T. Dugan. The link to this particular project is as follows:

You ever think about how old people have no idea what “survivor bias” is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?

“When we were kids nobody whined about car seats or bike helmets. We didn’t use them, and we all survived!”

Anyways, time for the real met gala

wait this seems to be missing some of my favourite looks

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

the problem millennials + older have with trying to understand the 67 meme is that they keep trying to compare it to past funny numbers.

PROUD TO ANNOUNCE that i will be doing my laundry today. Thank you for all those who helped me get to this point in life #stayhardunlessitsdownysoft

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China
