I can’t remember if I told you guys this but my grandpa paid a guy to put up a rock retaining wall in the backyard when my grandparents moved into their house in 1966. They live at the bottom of a mountain. The wall finally collapsed this year and my grandfather with dementia was PISSED OFFFFFF and he wanted so badly to call the guy who did it and chew him out for doing a bad job. My grandma is trying to explain that the wall lasted 60 years and the guy who did the work is probably dead and it TURNS OUT HE IS STILL ALIVE. Now we’re worried grandpa is going to get through to him (small town) and we’re going to see two 85 year old men come to blows over a rock wall that has been there since the mid-60s. My grandpa is a scrapper, he’s been to jail over a bar fight, the possibility that he WOULD fight this guy is high.

Listen that doesn’t even account for all the weird shit local farmers are getting up to.

hey so you know even if the trans girl doesn't pass you still have to use her pronouns right?

I hate the assumption that cutting yourself is always from hatred, anger or depression and that it's always harmful. It harms people who sh, but also harm many cultures! Many cultures include some form of scarification, yet they can't show the process and every time they share their scars on the internet, the comments are filled with “why do you hate yourself so much?”, “I wish you could abandon this barbaric tradition, it was surely forced upon you!” or similar things, as if it was impossible that someone could want these scars and someone could create them safely.
