token orphan

its still funny that this is the site where ppl love to pass mental illness diagnostic labels around to each other like tokens as some sort of bonding ritual but the second you so much as allude to anything actually inhibiting your functioning or being legitimately disabling in some way suddenly its 'omg you people cant do anything' screenshots all the way down

Really pisses me off when someone makes what would be a really good post about misogyny but then drags trans men into it, and wildly misconstrues their experiences to paint then as benefactors and/or perpetrators of said misogyny. And then when people (usually trans men) point out that what they're saying about trans men is not accurate and usually transphobic they start in on the whole "typical man you want to talk about everything except misogyny don't you". Like no, I would love to have a genuine conversation about the way misogyny has shaped out culture and the effects that has, you're the one insisting on shoving your head in the sand and refusing to listen to marginalized people about their experiences.

at some point during high school i drew a centaur girl with large breasts because i wanted to draw a character that looked like me, and my biofamily got real upset about it. "why are they so large" because mine are that large. "wouldn't that make it hard for her to run" interesting that you think that but keep trying to make me run. "don't draw things like this, it's morally bad" ok i and my apparently inherently pornographic body will just be over here trying to avoid being looked at

this is not to say porn is bad, tbc. i just wasn't a fan as a teenager of being treated like it was impossible to look at bodies like mine non-sexually. frankly i'm not a fan of it now either lmao. i keep kind of thinking about how so many female protagonists are canonically flat or small-chested girls/women who textually wish they had larger breasts, but i can't remember the last time i encountered a protagonist with large breasts where that fact wasn't meant to be sexual. what is up with that dynamic and how do i destroy it

it's like... in order to be accepted as a woman, the character has to desire the idealized form of The Perfect Woman (or if she's a #feminist, reject and detest that same idealized form, but the focus on it is often still there). but in order to be a non-pornographic protagonist, she can't attain it. the moment you have a large enough chest you don't really get to be a normal character anymore, you have to go to sex world. idk. probably someone better read than me has written some sort of papers on this. idk what search terms to use though

‘Being considered a naive young girl who doesn’t know what’s good for her is better than being considered a monster that needs to be killed’ I knew a trans guy who kept getting institutionalised and essentially tortured for expressing his gender identity. I know other trans men who were considered too broken to save so they were honour-killed or locked away in the dark. Can we just admit that neither category affords human beings much grace at all

being an intersex person who isnt a waifish hairless elf devoid of any visible sex characteristics i honestly think if i was a fictional character id be denounced as a transphobic stereotype

Who wants to hear a DIY tiling pro tip that the experts won't tell you

Yes!

Do not drop your phone into the bucket of tile adhesive. This step is actually completely unnecessary and massively complicates the tiling process.

You say this but my uncle is a tiler and he swears by the “drop phone in putty bucket” technique. I think you’re just posting this for clout

Your uncle is caught up in a tradition that he was taught as an apprentice that he never questioned. Modern putty doesn't require phone, the formula has changed.

MY uncle says some customers still demand the phone putty technique because it "doesn't look right otherwise"

Drop an empty phone case in and those customers can't tell the fucking difference because there is no fucking difference.

My mum renovated houses for thirty years, she says “you’re half right, but in some cases - particularly in houses built before 1930 - the phone does add some benefit. Could be a tablet too if you’ve an old one in the garage. And anyone who says it’s got to be a particular model is just being precious about it, whatever the forums say.”

IPhones and tablets where invented in 1898, what did they do before then?

Nothing, tiles were invented in 1899.

touhou fangames are allowed to be sold. toby fox is a huge touhou fan and has stated that hes gotten inspiration from it before. chapter 5 has alot of touhou references. so basically what im saying is that in chapter seven or whatever tobys gonna reveal that this is all just one big touhou fangame

thin veil today isnt it

everything that gets popular on here only gets spoken about for the yaoi but when you actually get into it it's so much more interesting than two men pining or whatever the fuck
