I FUCKING HATE CELERY!!!!!!!!

They just don’t release the hounds like they used to

in my day someone just let the dogs out. never did know who.

This is the most ridiculous, inefficient, and needlessly complicated thing…..

okay, but this is really what a Steampunk watch should be. Not just a dial watch with a cover made of bits of brass and copper.

The important thing to remember about the terf movement is just how fucking artificial it is. Like it's blatantly astroturfed by far-right billionaires, and half of terfs are ignorant of this and the other half are entirely happy to go down on neonazis

Coining a new word "Astroterfing"; that's when right-wing billionaires pay interest groups to stir up moral panic against trans people and roll back their rights as a wedge issue. It happens so fucking often it needs its own word.

The fact that there are gods with disabilities make me so emotional. Hephaestus, Tyr, Hodr, Odin and other disabled deities just prove that being disabled is a vital part of the human experience, not a deviation from it, and that concept alone is so moving. Just like there are deities for specific human experiences like fertility or war, there are also deities with disabilities, which just proves that we have just as much of a place on this earth as mothers and warriors do. The idea of that has genuinely pulled me through some hard times.

side benefit of communal all-gender restrooms is that they may be our best chance to shame cis men into washing their hands

i was in a communal all-gender restroom today and as i was washing my hands a middle-aged man came out of one of the stalls, started to make for the door, clocked me standing at the sinks, and changed course to wash his hands with a real hangdog look on his face
