(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

tragic! trans person no longer merely tolerating the act of existing just now realising their entire wardrobe is ass

Oh wow so me saying "no government documentation should ever include a gender marker for any reason" has been right all along. For exactly the reason I stated when people were giving me shit for not supporting x markers on documents.

I've seen some posts trying to make fun of former gifted kids by comparing them to former student athletes who insist that they could have gone pro if not for a specific injury, and those posts always backfire, because my reaction to them is "You're right, we should treat former student athletes with more compassion than we currently do"

I went from being very physically active to getting the "your body doesn't make energy properly anymore" disability so I can completely understand the grief that comes with circumstances outside your control destroying parts of you you were once proud of and locking you out of the life you could have had. It's not a good feeling.

There's also something to be said about the student athlete whose life is laid out for them through the pathway of athletics and then suddenly has that taken away. A high school injury eliminating the scholarship opportunity or full ride to a college of their choice. A college injury eliminating the career option they spent YEARS working toward. That they likely didn't prepare an alternative for because it was Guaranteed. Now suddenly they're stranded and have to figure out that alternative. And perhaps even lacking support in doing so. "It's a shame they were injured. They could have been something."

Are you looking for 10-50k unique posts? How would you be handling reblogs of mature content posts? This is a cool idea and I love doing stats so I just wanna know the best ways to contribute

Listen, we have to keep this thing circulating on the internet for at least another two decades, because I have to believe that one day that little girl will be grown enough to stumble upon it and She Will Explain

The last part was kind of insane, honestly. When we started changing platforms for the donor database, I kept telling them that yes I was aware we already had an account for the volunteer database, and no that could not be connected to the donor database. And they said yes fine sure and then connected them anyway. And I called them back and said, excuse me, I'm confused, I can see both databases. And they said, well, yeah, but it's only you, someone has to be able to see both databases to give other users access. The other users can't see both. And I said, no, we have been asking for a completely separate database. I should not be able to see both. And they said, you are one organization, one organization can't have two databases. And I said, last year someone used our volunteer email list to commit approximately one thousand felonies. Please feel free to imagine how much worse it could have been had they had a way to use volunteers' email addresses to get their legal names. We do not want this to be something anyone can do no matter how much we trust them. Let me describe those felonies to you in more detail. And they emailed me two hours later and said, you can have two separate databases.

This post feels like watching an iceberg go by in clear water. The amount of stuff going on beneath the surface of AO3 just astonishes.

Approximately one THOUSAND felonies

if Senshi does keep the victory, after him plus Stanley Pines last year, I think we need to reassess what the modern tumblr sexy man actually looks like because gone are the days of the young twinks. The tastes have matured and aged and grown some body hair!
