this site really did suck so fucking bad when its demographic was straighter

i don't believe such a time ever existed

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

This is also why NASA missions usually keep going so long after schedule. They are *masters* of graceful degradation, able to keep machines limping along on minimal power and after sustaining heavy damage

i think more people would benefit from an "i dont have to commit to this identity, if i ever change my mind, i dont have to identify that way anymore" approach to sexual/romantic orientation and gender identity

and also people need to stop treating you changing your mind as proof that you were faking the previous identity. or that you shouldn't be taken seriously when you're exploring your sexual/romantic orientation and gender identity because it's "just a phase" and you'll go "back to normal" eventually

the way i explain the "its just a phase"/"youre too young to know" shit to parents of trans kids is this: if your kid comes out as trans and you dont accept them (which involves gendering them correctly, using their new name, new clothes, allowing them to present how they want to present without verbal abuse, ect), youre either going to be wrong (which is very, VERY likely), or your kid is going to learn that they cant come to you about important things and that they cant tell you about themselves. your kid is going to learn that your love for them is conditional, that you dont accept them unconditionally, and that they cant trust you to tell you anything important. creating an environment where your kid cant come to you if they need love and support or HELP is NEVER going to be safe for your child, in fact you are actively putting them at risk of harm by doing that. if your child wants to go by he/him and wear boys clothes and cut his hair or whatever, going along with it, EVEN IF YOU THINK ITS A PHASE, AND EVEN IF HE LATER DECIDES HES JUST A CIS GIRL, is the safest and best thing that you can do for your child. even if your child is wrong, they will learn that you are a trustworthy person who they can be themselves around, and having parents that are accepting of your transition not only lowers their suicide risk EXPONENTIALLY, but it protects them from other areas of harm, such as csa and domestic violence

gonna be honest i don’t know how many more ‘enter the 6 digit code we sent to your phone’s i got left in me

Moral of The Story: What?

one time a guy friend told me he was quitting league of legends and literally two weeks later she was on estrogen. these events are intrinsically connected in my mind.

There is still time [to stop playing league of legends]

Why are Russia and China so big? Don't worry about it, that just happened during the big bang. They just spawned like that dude. Colonization only happens with America or something. Don't worry about it.

It's not genocide unless it's done by "The West". Otherwise, it's just sparkling mass murder.

I’m literally always saying this. U have to kill yourself to just look like some guy in a shirt

The whole concept of migraine triggers is just perfectly suited for making disabled people who are already suffering waste time & energy obsessing over every single thing they do every day, especially their diets, and to then blame themselves for their attack like their problem is a lack of discipline & willpower and not the fact that they have a chronic illness. If you get migraines, that isn't because your lifestyle & diet isn't sufficiently optimized, it's because you have a migraine disorder.

I had some of my worst most painful headaches while on strong painkillers, at the hospital, eating only bland low sodium vegan hospital food and getting fluids straight into my veins because apparently, the stress of surgery & recovery made my migraine disorder worse. Despite me being on Emgality. That's just what being chronically ill is like sometimes, there's not much you can do. Some of us can't self-optimize ourselves out of it, despite what every armchair neurologist & dietitian seems to think.

Sometimes the stress of constant headaches & migraines is what's causing your migraines because it's an evil disorder.
