The Venom symbiote bonds to Petra Parker before she’s even come out in person or as Spider-Woman, and proceeds to give her the most HRT-speedrun fabulous body but☝️only while she’s wearing it. So it’s that much harder to take off for dysphoria reasons, and honestly being a bit of a rude asshole can be advantageous when you’re getting constantly misgendered. Eventually she does take it off bc idk her non-alien HRT isn’t working bc the symbiote keeps eating it (either accidentally or on purpose). So the symbiote gloops off and binds to Brock. And it remembers that the HRT-speedrun worked super well to convince Petra to let it stay as long as it did. Soooooooo…👉👈

I don’t know if I should be amused or distressed by the realization that someday this post will probably be useful to linguists.

Hi, linguist here. It is

Truth. Experts can be wrong but if they are mostly right or we wouldn't have modern medicine or satellites or computer chips.

Years back, Jay Smooth called this "arrogance in ignorance," something that has stuck with me. I've always thought of it as a particularly American mindset--not just being proud of not understanding a topic, but believing that one's ignorance somehow gives one a leg up on experts. Please, y'all. If you don't know something, then you don't know!

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’.” —Isaac Asimov, Newsweek, 21 January 1980

When I think of Tarzan, a naked orphaned jungle man raised by apes in the mud and darkness away from society, what comes to mind is of course the smooth soft rock and roll of Phil Collins

mid day nap in the summer isn’t even a choice you make it’s a thing that happens to you

Hohenheim's entire problem is actually that in 500 years of being alive he never figured out his resting bitch face problem

Hohenheim goes through life going "People revile me because they can sense I'm a monster" and everyone's keeping a 10 foot clearance of the man because he stares at them like everyone's scariest professor.

Hohenheim had 2 friends in his entire life and it was because Trisha could see through to his sweet hear and because Pinako can smell weakness.

Hohenheim mean-mugged his son while trying not to cry and gave the kid 10 years of trauma about it.

this is my first time in the pacific northwest. we drove through a forest so wet and foggy you couldn’t see the bends in the road ten yards ahead of you and it straight up felt like a horror game until we emerged into a sunny valley with a rainbow over it and then we went to a taco bell and in it there was a guy dressed like a hot dog and a guy dressed like hamburger. is it all like this

That moment when I, as a Bulgarian, realized that tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, sunflower (oil) and corn are in fact not native to my country and were imported from the Americas. I remember that day. My heart shattered. Oh, and the irony of our nationalists accusing Turkey of "stealing our cuisine". My brother in Boiko, when did Europeans discover America and what empire were we under during that year and would continue to be under it for 4 more centuries?

And much of Asia responding similarly to peppers. I think the peppers loved Asia back just as much. A true love story.

being a trans woman with a vagina is so cool because i get 2 g spots and a clit. she can do it all

[ID: Tumblr comment. "so! a neovagina has the g spot you'd expect, on the front wall of the vagina at a fairly shallow depth, you reach it by curling your fingers up. what you're feeling when you stimulate the g spot is the bundle of nerves and tissue at the root of the clitoris, which is why it's so sensitive. however, at a further depth in the vaginal canal, you eventually run up against the prostate, which is all still intact after surgery. so that's a whole other g spot, which makes deeper penetration feel great too! and then of course outside the vagina is the clitoris itself, which can be stimulated all sorts of ways, in tandem with the internal g spots. vaginas are so cool" End ID]

makes me so happy seeing this still getting notes from girls excited about their surgeries. it's wonderful sisters, more wonderful than you can imagine!!! i'm 3 months in now and i truly couldn't be happier with her, it's a medical marvel and it looks pretty and it functions perfectly and sex feels good and i'm so much more confident and comfortable and i'm wearing what i like and 90% of my dysphoria has disappeared and just!!! it's a wonderful thing! i love being trans!
