welcome to my humble blog! ʕ`・ω・´ʔゞ [← waving bear kaomoji]
expect to find art, alternative music, bugs, science, bears, and more! frequently used tags will be added to this post.
i add image descriptions when they're not already included in a post.
if i add an image description to your post, please edit it into the original post - that's the most accessible way to do it aside from including it from the get-go. no credit is needed.
please do not add undescribed images to a post you're reblogging from me. if you need help describing something, my inbox & DMs are always open and I would literally rather describe the entire thing for you than have you post it undescribed. more information about image descriptions and the like can be found under #accessibility.

more info about me under the cut!
if you are a minor, i won't follow you back but you're free to follow - please block the tag "minors dni" though. i don't really post much nsfw but it does pop up from time to time.
please go share Najlaa's fundraiser and donate what you can!

about me:
my name is peach or riley, pronouns are he/they/fae, and i'm a transmasc femme lesbian - see my pronouns page for more info if you're curious how i like to be referred to!
i'm 29 (♎ libra), i've been on tumblr since 2010, and i have a master's degree in biology!
i enjoy reading (seriously, i have read nearly 100 books so far this year) with a particular fondness for sci fi and fantasy and a huge soft spot for sports romance. i also read a lot of manga!
i also really enjoy music - i love listening to albums front to back when i discover an artist i like and reading up about them on the internet. I have over 100 CDs in my collection. i have spent hours on end researching songs that fit a particular vibe that i want to curate a playlist around. i also love reading about specific genres and their origins. my top genres include midwest emo, screamo, and shoegaze, but i will generally listen to any kind of music. if you say you listen to everything except rap, you're being antiblack and you should shut the fuck up and think about it.
#tunez is where i share music i enjoy.
my favourite video games are the pokemon mystery dungeon games (explorers of sky is the best), the dragon age series (zevran is forever in my heart), baldur's gate 3, the mass effect series, dave the diver, final profit, and civ 6.
previous URLs you may know me by include farcillesbian, zevbian (will probably come back to it when the new dragon age releases), dyketorbjorn, and chubey.
i write image descriptions because this makes the internet a more accessible place for many people - first and foremost, blind and low vision people, though it can be helpful to others as well. posts with only alt text are tagged "id in alt text" and posts without any description are tagged "undescribed". descriptions I have added myself are tagged "described". i do not tag fundraising posts as undescribed even if they aren't because i believe that they need as much exposure as possible and the images they include are usually secondary to the intent of the post.
feel free to look at my carrd that I haven't updated for a few years, lol

the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this
currently getting more trapped here in certain ways & less time to be online to do what i need to do, genuinely. paying off debt & keeping on top of bills is the highest priority rn, especially bc of that. i appreciate the past & present support since stuff here is genuinely getting so unsafe that i actually cant talk about it all online w/o potentially endangering &/or eventually doxxing myself. dm if needed/if anyone wants to vouch for me so i stay safer too feel free to dm me as well.
i got to pay: $218.11 August 12th (debt repymt), $69.34 August 8th (debt repymt), $151.91 August 7th (for ca borrow) & $110 August 6th (paying back irl).
certain parts of debt has been slowly being paid off. but yeah just so fucking strapped for time & impossibly stuck when im Not consistently meeting goals in. cfing online is genuinely how i + my cat r still alive today, so i rly need all the help i can get.

hello trans man on tumblr dot com. i am speaking directly to you right now. Do Not Go Down The Transandrophobia Rabbit Hole. like every other ~ progressively branded ~ vein of transphobia & transmisogyny that came before it, not only will it not save you, and not only will it make you a miserable, hateful person, but most importantly, you will be contributing to the systematic oppression and alienation of trans women in a time where it is suffocating them in literally all walks of life, public and private. you will drive the women in your life away. you will show that you are an unsafe person to be around. it is not cute, it does not describe experiences that we don't already have the words for, and it's preventing you from seeing the systemic causes of the very real threats that are actually affecting you as a trans person.

Residential buildings in Gaza are being bombed by the Israeli occupation army multiple times every day. The violence is only increasing as many in the West believe the lie about a ceasefire and turn their eyes away.
Mohammed Abu Alwan is raising three young children in Gaza. The money the family of five needs for food, water, and medicine is about $200 USD per day; but Israel's destruction of infrastructure in Gaza means that Mohammed is entirely reliant on donations for the basic necessities of life.
You can help this family stay alive through genocide by donating via:

handing out flyers to transmascs about estradiol cream (can be used to keep your pussy wet and healthy but without triggering periods or having any feminizing effects) and transfemmes about Cialis (works even post-orchi)
Would like to add on about the estrogen for transmascs; if you get dysphoric of the feeling of your vagina getting wet, there isultra-low doses of estrogen suppositories. I take a 10 microgram suppository of estrogen twice a week. It’s enough to make it easier for me to pee, but not enough to cause me to get wet. ✌️
I know a lot of guys skip looking into estrogen suppositories bc they don’t do vaginal penetration, but even if you are a top or only do anal penetration it’s still important to consider it as an option if you’re experiencing issues. Pelvic floor dysfunction caused by vaginal atrophy can make it hard to relax the muscles in the pelvis, making it hard to pee and make it hard to relax the anus. If you find yourself having trouble peeing or trouble relaxing for anal, talk to your doctor about your options for treatments. Once I started 10 micrograms biweekly I had a lot easier time prepping for anal.
I also originally didn't like doing the estrogen cream because, at the dose I was taking, it made me feel like I was on my period all the time (it didn't trigger a period, just made me feel crampy and sick), but then I used a non-hormonal alternative vaginal moisturizer for awhile which worked really well, but I just so happened to be using a small amount of the estrogen for dryness stone my urethra and that small dose also worked for my vaginal atrophy as well with none of the side effects.
Adding along for transfemme folks that in addition to an ED medication to encourage continued use and bloodflow, that topical t-gel is not masculinizing, and helps protect the tissue and reduce atrophy, and help keeps the tissue healthy both pre and post-op. It's the same tissue being repurposed post-op, so it's still at risk of atrophy, so the same stuff can help reduce tissue atrophy.
That's right, t-gel is helpful even if you plan on getting a neovagina, because "If you're asking a doctor to fold an origami cat, it's best to bring them the highest quality paper." Healthier tissue is easier to work with and more likely to result in a successful surgery.
Similarly, as much as a lot of people find it gender affirming, please think carefully about deliberate long-term use of cock-cages -- those kinds that result in substantial shrinkage. If you're looking to get a neovagina, you'll want to avoid prolonged cock cage use for the same reasons-- less tissue, thinner tissue, atrophied tissue, unhealthy tissue, will have poorer outcomes for surgery.
Cock cages and the associated shrinking are GREAT for transfemme folks who want to KEEP their bits/don't want surgery, but want to minimize them, keep them small, and to reduce the dysphoria of a larger, more prominent penis. But they can be a setup for FAILURE if one is trying to get a neovagina constructed.
Please be safe, and good luck and much love. World may be spooky, but we're all in this shit together. Rooting for you.
so unfortunately the government STILL won't get back to me about what the fuck is going on my disability/welfare reapplication case rn (they randomly reached out 2 weeks ago to ask me for ID for registration and have since not messaged me, called me or answered any of my calls as their registration office just sends me to a machine that makes me wait 25-30 minutes only to hang up on me, so at this point i think i need to go in person and make a scene so i don't fall through the cracks of ford's godawful social assistance programs)
i have $1.57 to my name rn and the only things left in my pantry are a can of beans, a can of chickpeas, a can of chicken and a can of tuna, and a bunch of things like spices that don't actually add any nutritional value & i don't have any carbs left to pair with any of it. i've been eating one basic meal a day for the past 2 weeks to try to conserve whatever food i do have left in my pantry but i genuinely feel like i've got one foot in the grave with how malnourished i've been and the food bank near me isn't open for another 5 days. i've been at least trying to find my tax forms from earlier this year so i can at least try to rely on a tax return to keep my head above water (better late than never), but i'm so exhausted from running on fumes that i straight-up can only check my room one quadrant at a time, as i need to lay down for several hours afterwards from exhaustion. it's Really Bad lol.
i've got kofi, patreon, paypal and interac (replace 95 with 666 in the username of the kofi/patreon urls - at gmail dot com), literally anything helps, even just resharing this!
