*getting too in the weeds of the worldbuilding of a horny tumblr post* Okay I get that you're saying princess, but honestly the dynamic you're describing here seems more like you want to be a duchess or even a lower noble

You wanna be the villainess in an otome anime

when you ask people to stop engaging in harry potter fandom they act like you've asked them to pull the plug on their own ventilator after murdering their entire family in front of them. like holy shit my bad i didn't realise that you formed emotional attachments that were that unhealthy

"but it was my childhood" okay cool you're an adult now "but i love it a lot" okay cool there are other things to love "but it helped me through a hard time" okay cool you can find other ways to cope "but my ship/my character/my fic/my fanart/my--" someone has asked you to stop engaging with a woman's intellectual property because that woman is actively contributing to the literal genocide of trans people in her country and beyond. her actions have emboldened murderers, legislation meant to deny life-saving care, and ruined livelihoods and safety of many people. what could possibly be more fucking important. truly. i get that it's hard to let stuff go, because it is. it's very fucking hard, especially when you love something very deeply. but your personal struggle letting go of a comfort blanket is never as important as someone else's life, and that's the point we are at now, and if you are not listening to the trans people in your life and beyond that are whistleblowing this, you have blood on your hands and i will not help you wash it off when you finally look down and notice it

yep! very similar to the guide I use

Yes! how could I forget. For a time the same applied to my/mine.

Also adding some book recommendations on Permaculture from the fine folks at Lithub.

I do think some people need to realize you cannot Amazon prime one day free shipping your way into a friendship/relationship

sometimes it’ll be inconvenient. sometimes you will have to sit through a movie you don’t enjoy and still say, “it was nice!” sometimes you’ll have to forgive them for things, and sometimes you’ll have to have tough conversations. human connection is often about learning how and why and what and when to care about another person. at least the one’s that are worth it. it might cost a couple more emotional dollars, and the shipping is a couple business days more, but it’s worth it.

side benefit of communal all-gender restrooms is that they may be our best chance to shame cis men into washing their hands

i was in a communal all-gender restroom today and as i was washing my hands a middle-aged man came out of one of the stalls, started to make for the door, clocked me standing at the sinks, and changed course to wash his hands with a real hangdog look on his face

“you can’t forget your mother tongue” okay but have you considered bilinguals and polyglots whose first language isn’t english and whose development during adolescence was shaped by consuming content and media only in english and have ever since viewed that second language, foreign to their own, as a better outlet for their emotions and thoughts? as Yiyun Li said “it is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet impossible in my native language.”
