i got inspired by antique furniture -> decided to try and make a wooden doll.
she is whittled entirely out of balsa wood with a craft knife, and colored with wood dye. the cabinet has miniature hinges made of tube beads and a metal rod, and closes with a magnet. she absolutely should hold a sentimental & important object, but i don't have any that are the correct size, so i just put in some cute trinkets.
āI am often in pain and I fear that it will get worse. I need to sharpen every possible weapon against it, but even more so against the fear, or the fear of fear, which is what is so debilitating. And I want to learn how to do that while there is still time for learning in some state before desperation. Desperation. Reckless through despair.ā

Hey, you, cis girl that's very (correctly) vocal about women being allowed to talk about their periods, do you include trans women in that?
I ask because every single time I've tried to talk about it to anyone that isn't a trans woman they get fucking angry. Which has caused me to have to just suffer in silence every single month. So I really relate to cis women when they talk about literally the exact same thing; being shamed by everyone around them their whole lives for talking about their periods, so they just suffer in silence every month as it negatively impacts their work and social lives. But I don't even feel like I can voice that I am literally dealing with the same exact thing because most of y'all react like you want to throw me in front of a bus for saying it, even those of you who act like your such big great transfem allies.
I guess I'll take this opportunity to talk about trans women periods.
The first thing any tme person thinks when they hear this is always "how can trans women have periods? They don't have uteruses!"
The answer is: the uterus isn't what causes your period, it is effected by your period. What causes your period and what causes trans women's periods is the same thing: the endocrine system.
HRT changes the sex of your endocrine system. Feminizing HRT makes it a female endocrine system, giving us a 28-day hormone cycle just like cis women. At the end of that cycle, the hypothalamus floods the body with prostaglandins. Those are what cause all but one of the period symptoms, because they make muscles inflame and contract. They are what make the uterus shed its lining, they are what cause intestinal cramps, they are what cause body aches, they are what cause headaches and migraines. The only period symptom not causes by the release of prostaglandins throughout the body is depression, and that is caused by your endocrine system simply not processing as much estrogen and from simply feeling like shit.
So, the only symptoms trans women don't get every 28 days is menstrual cramps, because yes we do not menstruate since we don't have uteruses. But migraines, depression, body aches, intestinal cramps, and the infamous "period shits" don't exactly add up to us having any better of a time. Except we have to pretend that we're fine and nothing is different because no one believes that we get periods, not even cis women.
"But you can't call it a period then because that refers to MENSTRUATION!" is another one I hear all the time. This is incorrect. You use the word "period" instead of just "menstruation" because it doesn't just refer to menstruation. It refers to a period at the end of the hormone cycle where we experience a host of symptoms. And not all cis women experience all of the symptoms that encompass the period. Not all cis women get migraines, or body aches, or have severe depression. If a cis woman gets a hysterectomy she doesn't menstruate either! In that instance she experiences an identical period to what trans women experience. Yet, I doubt you'd insist that cis women who've had hysterectomies don't have periods.
Oh, another thing that I personally discovered after bottom surgery: vaginal odor changes for trans women during our periods too. I was not expecting that because I always thought it was just from menstruation. But nope, the ph levels of a trans woman's vagina are the same of as a cis woman's vagina, and it changes during our periods just the same.
addition: around 10% of all humans across the board have endometriosis. Meaning that one in ten trans women have endometriosis, making their periods worse.
Since endometriosis is endometrial tissue (uterine lining) existing where it shouldn't, it means those of us who have it bleed.
Just, it's internal bleeding.
Our own introduction to this was an endometrial cyst in our bladder, which was "fun".
now I know westerners actively go out of their way to refuse to see north koreans as humans but I think fear mongering about a child who went with her dad for what was essentiallt bring your daughter to work day is just another kind of deplorable
The Telegraph released that article one day prior to a huge revelation by the New York Times, who reported that in 2019 the Trump administration launched a covert SEAL Team 6 mission into the DPRK to plant listening devices meant to spy on Kim Jong Un. The mission failed, and they killed multiple civilians in cold blood to cover their tracks.
The Trump administration never disclosed this mission to the Congress committees tasked with overseeing military and intelligence operations. The article also points out that many of those involved in that mission were promoted.
North Korea isn't the bad guy. They are trying to defend themselves from a belligerent empire that has already killed 20% of its population at one time and has have been trying to recolonize them ever since. Do not fall for these attempt by the West to manufacture consent for further violence against the people of Korea. The North Korean government isn't the oppressor of the Korean people, the United States and the imperialist bloc are.
Like, yes that mission was deplorable. No those civilans didnt deserve to die. But acting like North Korea is not a brutal warmongering dictatorship ruled by martial law is dangerously ignorant. We know what life is like, we have testimonies from refugees and from South Korean/our own monitering.
North Korea is, quite obviously, the oppressor of the North Korean people.

Cash incentives and the western mediaās endless appetite for shocking stories encourage refugees to exaggerate, Jiyoung Song argues
Defectors can expect to receive the sum if they cross the border with intelligence or weapons.
the country that bombed and sanctioned north korea to the ground is undoubtedly the oppressor of north koreans. former US president jimmy carter has bragged about this very thing himself. you are not being brave by repeating US state department atrocity propaganda generated from their inability to conquer north korea.

I've tried so hard to make my fundraising campaign succeed so I can provide even a few of my children's basic needs, but despite all my efforts, I haven't been able to raise enough support.
Today, I'm asking for something simple: if you can't donate, please help by sharing this post with as many people as you can. A single reblog or share could reach someone willing to help.
My daughter is preparing to start university, and we are struggling to afford her essential university supplies. Your supportāwhether through a donation or by spreading our storyācould make a real difference for our family.
Thank you to everyone who stands with us, believes in us, and helps keep hope alive. ā¤ļø

Listening to the radio while they report on the SCOTUS ruling yesterday that states can ban specifically trans girls and women from girls/womens sports programs. The people they interview: a trans boy with his cis mother and a trans man. The trans man says one of the things that hampers progress is "no one talks to us." Idk man the radio station didn't talk to any trans women, they talked to you, a trans man. Seems like they are pretty willing to talk to you and not the people this ruling actually directly affects.
feel the need to add: trans men, if you are given these types of opportunities, to speak on trans rights (or losses thereof) over a trans woman who is more affected by them than you, it is your *responsibility* to decline and, if youāre able, suggest a trans woman instead. if you are asked to be in a leadership position in a queer/trans/progressive organization and there are no trans women in leadership positions there, it is your *responsibility* to either decline in favor of a trans woman or decline until they bring in a trans woman.
if yall want trans women to stop accusing you of transmisogyny, stop speaking over them, stop shoving them out of the way, stop accusing them of being predators, stop complaining that youāre more oppressed than they are, stop being fucking transmisogynistic!!!!
A thousand days have passed since the annihilation, during which we lost everything, and you're afraid to give me a small amount of money so I can endure the remaining days, days I don't know if they have an end, or if their end will be the end of our lives forever.

( hi everyone! it's that time of year again... expect me back sometime in august! in the meantime, consider donating to direct relief for earthquake recovery in venezuala! )
Every morning begins the same way. My children wake up inside a worn-out tent, torn apart by fire from bombardment and riddled by stray bullets. There are no walls to protect them, no door to shut out their fear, and no safe place where they can sleep.
The days are unbearably hot, and the nights are filled with fear. I try to find enough food to quiet their hunger, water to ease their thirst, and medicine when they fall ill, but each day is harder than the last. Their little bodies grow weaker with every passing day.
I have pleaded for help so many times, and I am still pleading. My childrenās bodies have become frail from the lack of food, and every day brings more suffering through extreme heat, hunger, and the absence of medical care. If you can, please share their story and donate, even a small amount. Your kindness today could save their lives before it is too late. ā¤ļøšš„
I cannot provide for them because the war destroyed our home and I cannot work, even though I have a university degree. Every day is a fight
