Please enjoy some baseball shenanigans from tonight.
First, CAT ON THE FIELD!!!!!
Next… BEES!
So they called a bee guy, who had dreamt about something like this and he rose to the occasion:
#mlb#cat on the field#bees#not the bees#los angeles dodgers#arizona diamondbacks#philadelphia phillies#I don’t feel right calling them the Los Angeles angels#california angels#cat#how can you not be romantic about baseball#I really do love the sport

Why do I keep seeing transmascs and trans men insisting or implying that all trans men are "female socialized," or "understand the female experience," or "navigated the world as a woman." Because yeah, sure, that can be true for some people. especially if you weren't gnc at all as a kid and didn't crack your egg until well into adulthood, it makes sense.
But they don't stop at saying they had that experience. It always comes with an addendum that trans men, as a group, all can relate to this experience. I don't know about the entirety of my demographic, but I never got even a little bit of what some of them talk about. I didn't even believe that women were scared of going out at night until I kept consistently seeing them say it, online or wherever, for years. I never realized catcalling was a thing until I saw some women complaining about it on reddit.
But they posit it as some sort of, you're safer than cis men, right? You know what it's like? Which, on top of being patently, demonstrably false in the case of myself and many other trans men, holds some unpleasant and often outright hostile implications about trans women. And they always deny it, but if you can't even conceptualize someone like me who grew up gnc, and never got the bulk (or any?) of whatever we consider to be 'female socialization,' what does that say about what you think trans girls went through, growing up? I don't want to speak for them, as I've never experienced that firsthand, but I can guarantee that (if you're even a little bit obviously trans) people don't treat you like a cis kid of the opposite gender. By and large, they don't get treated like cis boys.
It just makes me mad that we're taking this inaccurate framework that (ever so conveniently) puts trans people into the box of our assumed birth gender, and trying to fancy it up and use it with a faux-progressive veneer; never mind the way that transphobes use it to bar trans women from being athletes, or using the bathroom, or having access to any gendered resources they need. It would be bad enough to try and dust it off and use it even if it were largely accurate, due to the aforementioned connections to outright transphobia, but it literally is patently false. Not in all cases, obviously, but why are we trying to revamp this untrue, inaccurate generalization and pretend that we can make it 'trans-inclusive?'
#o.#trans#transphobia#transmisogyny#I may or may not be talking about a specific post I saw that made me irritated but I didnt wanna get in an argument with internet strangers#sorry guys I'm still heated over freaking collin allred capitulating to ted cruz and throwing trans girls under the bus bc he didnt have the#guts to stick to his morals#and called them ''this idiotic business with boys in girls sports'' or some crap#as if trans girls don't deserve to play the sports they love. like I imagine if they blocked trans men from being physicists or something#and I just wasn't able to pursue the career I want? that would destroy me#and I still had to vote for him because the other options were ted cruz and some freaking libertarian.#sorry thats all tangential but can we not use the same rhetoric that all these politicians do as an excuse to kick trans women out of public#life PLEASE 🙏#...also I really hate the Popular Transmasc Ideology that says that we all experience life as basically the same as a cis woman & never have#to navigate having male privilege & being an ally to women#and all have some sort of Innate Connection to femaleness or womanhood or whatever bc 'obviously' we all grew up just like girls do#ugh#this one's going out there sans editing so dont yell at me if I worded smth weird please 🙏

Getting a little tired of people who move to Germany from abroad and then complain about the "rude customer service"... when it's literally just neutral customer service.
Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of rude customer service here too - but I'm talking about someone in a café who doesn't smile at you, or answers only the question you asked without volunteering more information. That's just... normal, my dudes. That's neutrality.
And the fact that people working in customer service in this country can be neutral - can be real human beings who don't necessarily feel like beaming and fawning all day every day - without having to fear losing their job for it... I think that's pretty great. And that's a big part of the reason I moved here, and the reason I feel more comfortable in this society than in the US.
I studied Germany for years before making the big decision to move here (I literally majored in German Studies in the US), and I visited this country multiple times, for increasing amounts of time, before making the big move. I knew (to a degree) what I was getting myself into, and therefore I've never regretted it.
But I meet multiple people every year - newcomers to Berlin whom I already know won't last - who decided to move here spontaneously, based on very little knowledge of the country or culture (let alone the language). And then they get so shocked and disappointed by Germany being... German... that they soon leave again. WHYYYYYYY
#german stuff#germany#schland o schland#you're not really that hard to love... or. well. at least like.#don't get me wrong: there's plenty to complain about#and complaining IS the german national sport#but there's a difference between german-style complaining#(which i myself do on a regular basis lol)#and complaining about a country for being exactly what you should have known it was before you moved here#(refugees exempted obvs. they have the right to be as grumpy as they want)#cosmo gyres#personal#o hear my sad complaint

Assisting Acquaintance Acquired.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen ning#wei wuxian#Ignore how Wen Ning's hair looks here because I messed it up. Let's pretend he just sported a different hair style for a brief moment.#I am not exactly great at consistency but I am trying very hard to work on that (immediately messes up again).#Absolutely *love* how Wen Ning clearly remembers and admires WWX...who does *not* recognize him.#This is the best day for Wen Ning and it means *nothing* to WWX. A painful one-sided crush made worse.#It is bittersweet to realize that we care about someone more than they care about us. Sometime we pour love into a relationship-#-with someone who just can't reciprocate. It isn't always a conscious things either. Some people just aren't aware we care.#And painfully - so painfully - You can't make them aware. No act of kindness or gift or self sacrifice will make someone care about you.#You can martyr yourself for someone and they will continue on unchanged.#I think a lot about the parallels between WN and LWJ. Not foils - just reflections. A theme repeated.#People who give so much of themselves to someone who doesn't have the capacity to give any part of themself away.#I will die on the hill of 'Wen Ning would be the love triangle romance if that trope wasn't being avoided'.#And to be honest - thank the stars above that is the case. I do not know any good love triangles in media.#We are skipping some of the sad Jiang Cheng content because I really want to finish season 2 before May.#Sorry JC emo moment lovers...I'll deliver another time.

Scientists ought to study the chemical link between Butches and trans men* and transmasc* people. Like, they say that the triple bond is one of the hardest to break, but I don't think they've looked at the bond between a trans guy and a Butch
#trans#transgender#queer#butch#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#nonbinary#every time a butch gives gym advice or how to behave like a gentleman i shut up sit down and get out my pen and paper#like butches may not all be men but they know what i want and frankly i will kill and die for butches#very unfortunate that the 'u' key is RIGHT NEXT TO the 'i' key because i really do not want to say 'bitches' on accident :/#something i love about the trans scene is the way the venn diagram between butchness and transness overlap often#thank you to all the gym butches in sports bras who are WAY more jacked than me for giving me their wisdom 💛💛💛#yes obv this INCLUDES trans butches who aren't transmasc* or trans men*#the THINGS that butch trans women have shared? innumerable. they rival the grains of sand on earth

What’s the craziest bit or multiple pieces of lore you’ve ever learnt about Marc?
so easily him collecting the model vale bikes the first two years he was racing in motogp (mat oxley asked him about it at feb testing in 2015 and marc was still collecting them !!!) i truly think about it all the time it’s so insane to me. collecting merchandise of your friend coworker and sporting idol while you are doing your best to win against him… while being hailed as the next version of him (BY HIM EVEN !). while your relationship is deteriorating… holding that kind of love in your heart even when he throws you to the mercy of the media. even as he denies that you were ever his fan. even AFTER all that he still keeps them in a BOX somewhere along with all the other things he loved when he was young…
#like HE wasn’t even the one that got rid of the bikes it was his parentsssssss#motogp#callie speaks#asks#actual craziest is probably his mechanics removing the wheels off his bikes at his house so he couldn’t ride injured#but that doesn’t really surprise me. i know a lot of paddlers who would do that shit#extreme sports at that level always makes you crazy like the sport IS your beautiful wife in many respects#the toy bikes tho. the bikes.#okay good night love you all…..

Etoiles: Oh, if you kill me- ok, no. Ok, ok. I'm focused.
Tubbo: Bro, what do you mean, "if I kill you"?
Etoiles: DUDE– stop- stop thinking I'm unkillable, dude! Stop thinking this! I'm not a superhero- I'm not Thanos! I'm a fcking diabetic!
Tubbo: [Laughs] That's crazy.
Etoiles: Stop thinking I'm Thanos, please. Like, it's annoying in this server!
Bad: You can take him, Tubbo.
#Etoiles#Tubbo#QSMP#Purgatory#Green Team#Blue Team#Note: Tubbo did not in fact take him#I love Etoiles he's such a good sport. He stopped when chasing Tubbo down and gave him time to craft a weapon and make armor and heal up#and he chides people whenever they suggest (even jokingly) doing something that's BM#I like PVP stuff but I hate HATE when people are poor sports or do BM things it drives me up the wall#so I really appreciate Etoiles. He's an honorable fighter#November 5 2023

Everyone tell me why you support your sports team/sports person!
#I'm bored at work and love hearing people's sport origin stories!#I'll start!#I support West Ham because my Dad does#boring I know!#And when I was 25 and Ella decided to get me into football I was like fine but I support this team as I have a hat from when I was 11!#every other support I have watching sports either comes from them being British and lovely (see Andy Murray)#or I've immediately attached myself to them for reasons that cannot be rationally explained (see Ronnie O'Sullivan)#I feel very strongly that any way you start watching a sport is completely legit#especially by the way if you see a person and are like yes I want to immediately collect them!!!#see me @ jannik sinner#please join in I really do love hearing people talk about why they support certain teams and athletes!!!

i kind of miss when he had genuine beef with a 12 year old and wanted him dead.
#dont change for anyone grief.#art#pathologic#bad grief#pathologic 2#ill be honest his pathologic one drip is kind of unbeatable to me#he has the same leather based appeal as rubin in that category and i am not keen on giving it up#child based gang violence aside i cant argue that they didnt maintain some amount of nonbinary swag in 2 its just a different kind#its not the same kind of swag#its still there but hes a different guy#i really do appreciate pathologic two grief though. i appreciate him more for every interaction i accidentally find him in#my first playthrough i didnt see him at aspitys the morning rubins being hunted for sport the First time in the warehouses#i still liked him when he wanted notkins head on a stake but hes easier to like without all that baggage i suppose#anyways if you cannot tell my fixation has reared its unsightly head once more and i have not yet broken free#nor do i have any real desire to which is the root of the issue. probably.#in the meanwhile enjoy more comics made on scrap construction paper in an afternoon.#much peace and love. until next time.
