heye every one.

I'm gonna reblog with some videos of people speaking various American Indian/indigenous American languages, because I think most people don't even know what they sound like. Not to be judgement of that—just, you know, I think people who want to be informed should know what they sound like!

The Inheritance Cycle has truly reawakened my passion for reading in a way that feels different than any other passion I've felt in my life. This is probably because of my new ADHD medication but it really brings me so much joy.

Christopher Paolini is so incredibly good at describing scenes and settings that I can truly imagine them. I remember reading this series back in my teenage years and I remember just barely skimming it. I remember the big bits, like major character deaths or whatever, but not the little things. Not how Farthen Dûr looked, or the area around it. Not how Nasuada actually looked, or that time that Eragon got hit on by some sorceress.

I hope I can find more sources of joy in other things, too. If digging up old favorites is a trend, maybe I need to start playing Skyrim again, or drawing on an easel. I'm sure my drawing tablet will suffice, though.

it'd be cool if ppl (including other trans women) could vocalise their support of trans women with non "normative" bodies without literally just sexually harassing us on positivity posts.

One of the stranger things about training brand new nurses is explaining how to min max small talk. It feels very weird to coach people on how to chat.

I just wanted to share this article about Palestine's right to revolt and why it is important that we support it. It also has sources embedded in the text that debunk misinformation about them and Hamas. I implore everyone to read it and spread this information around.

Help keep a trans girl and her girlfriend afloat

Hi everyone, my name is Camille, and I'm a disabled trans woman. We're almost completely out of money for the month. As it stands, we won't be able to make rent in November, and will have to re-home all of our cats. They're all rescues and extremely attached to us and each other, and we're pretty sure rehoming them would be traumatic. Please, if you have anything to give, help would be greatly appreciated. Even a share, reblog, or a like would help. Thank you so much for reading.

Here's pictures of our cats! From left to right, there's Rice (17), Clementine (6ish?), Tempest (1.5), Emerald (3), and Freya (2). I hope they can warm your heart like they do ours ❤️

I'm sorry but I will never ever use goon as slang for a guy who jacks off a lot or whatever it apparently means now. A goon is a guy in a clown mask and purple tank top who sees a caped crusader swooping down to beat up him and his buddies and yells "IT'S DA FREAKIN' BAT!" and I will accept nothing else.

Tumblr crashed and killed my post and I'm too lazy to go find what I was reblogging, but:

You need to understand that there is a type of right-wing person who is (relatively) sex positive.

You need to understand this because it explains some "contradictions" but more importantly so that you won't assume someone isn't wildly right wing just because they're sex-positive. These people still have horribly opinions on a lot of things, including sexual ones. They just don't think it's Inherently Wrong to do "weird stuff" in the bedroom.

I always describe this viewpoint as "it's okay to get freaky, but don't be a freak".

They're making a distinction between things you DO and things you ARE. They hate the latter, and think the former is fine.

This is a big part of why you get "confusing" things like right-wingers who are against trans people but those same people might enjoy crossdressing during sex. They're fine with wearing girls clothes while they get pegged, but don't think you should be allowed to go by she/her in the workplace if you're AMAB. Crossdressing is a thing you do. Being trans is something you are.

And the post I was trying to reply to was about swingers disliking polyamorous people: it's the same thing. Swinging is a thing you do: they're having freaky sex. What's wrong with that?

But polyamory? Having multiple partners at the same time, even when you're not fucking at the moment? That sounds like something you are.

Basically it seems to be the worldview of people who are sex-positive (to an extent! I don't want to overstate their positivity) in their personal life, but are against "the decay of society".

They're basically conservatives nostalgic for an imagined world where everyone has 1950s social roles in public, but can get up to whatever weird sex stuff they want behind closed doors.

I don't know how much this kind of few point is due to libertarian influence on these kinds of right wingers (where they've internalized the "the government shouldn't tell me what to do" part of the ideology, but still think "the government should tell those weirdos to get cut it out" is fine), or how much this is because of the rise of 4chan as an alt-right meeting spot, and that site was (and still is) partially a porn site.

It's slightly hard to argue that all sex besides married missionary for procreation is immoral when you're one click away from threads full of anal-toy-howtos and pregnant "dickgirl" hentai. (Not that they don't try, sometimes)

Just keep the fact that these people exist in mind: it'll better explain some of the strange opinions you sometimes see online.

It's probably also a major driving force behind Bidoof's law. They can easily argue against something innocuous like polyamory or trans people while filling their own timeline to with images of trans orgies, because they think Doing Sex Stuff is morally neutral, but Being Stuff is inherently wrong. You can cross dress or swing, that's fine, whatever gets your rocks off. But you can't be trans or be poly. That's wrong, apparently.

(This is probably also South Park's fault but I'm not an expert on that show so I'll not try to explain)

god damn yeah fuck that judge, and fuck the $350, it's such bullshit. i get ya if you want to go a different route but unfortunately I only have the experience with the OHA form. i hope your partner figures out something that works for her!

Okay, so question. Partner changed her gender marker on her license in oregon, where they don't require a court order. She just got a utah license and they changed it back because didn't have a court order in oregon. Is that legal? Can they do that? This is outside of my field of knowledge, I have no idea. Were they supposed to legally respect the actions of another state? Could she contest this?
