D'you reckon the fae would be unstoppable if they found out the thing that mums do to get you to do things. Like I'll be sitting on the couch and the dishes aren't done, then my mum comes and says "thanks for doing the dishes" the I go do the dishes. Like if they acknowledge a debt for something that hasn't happened yet, technically aren't you in their debt BC you haven't performed the service you have been explicitly thanked for? Idk if this makes sense but ye

Isogender Is not trans in denial!! Someone may be an identity that still aligns heavily with their agab! So they don't feel like part of the trans community! But they don't have to identify as cis because their identity isn't fully the same as their agab.

My sister is enby. They are afab and use they/she pronouns. As you can tell, they are still heavily fem-aligned. They feel that them being enby doesn't take away their identity as an afab but also doesn't make them a woman. They don't use this label but that's an example of why someone might.

There are lots of labels for systems who have strange experiences with being trans! This is a label some of our transfem alters are interested in. We are afab and masc-transitioning enby. So our body will not be cis to them ever either. But they were still formed in an afab body so using trans doesn't feel quite right to them. Boom! (used for reference: instagram account nocontext_inclus and lgbt-pride.fandom.com ).

I believe this flag was coined by @beyond-mogai-pride-flags and from top to bottom, the colours represent; masc, fem, mix of both, and the gradient represents a strong-to-weak attachment to gender, from top to bottom. (Source: lgbtqia.wiki and mogai.miraheze.org ).

Saying “people with uteruses” is NOT erasing women any more than saying “all humans are created equal” is erasing men.

Millennials keep hating on "skibidi" like we didn't run around saying "skadoosh" and "badum-psh" or a billion other wicka-wicka-wicka sounds—we just didn't write them out because we didn't have to communicate via text to have friends, leave the children alone. 😭

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

We're not appreciating the Weird Barbie enough. It's said in the movie that she helps everyone who need help while they always see her as someone who's not as good as them. She was friends with all dismissed Barbies and Kens, was there to offer support and safe shelter for everyone who needed it in Kendom, without her nothing in the movie would've been alright. When Stereotypical Barbie calls her "ugly and unwanted" she still helps her.

She was representing a woman in women's world who was pushed aside by other women because she didn't fit in but still had more wisdom and kindness than everyone who thought they're better than her.

today’s “pathetic sopping wet cat of a man” is yesterday’s “smol bean, cinnamon roll too pure for this world”

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

I don't give a damn about the young tumblrite's, I fucking love The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and when I was 17 and freshly out, I made out with a gay kid in Frank'N'Furter cosplay while I was dressed like Riff Raff, the way the God I don't believe in intended.

Scary Sunset.

I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.

Victoria Chang, from Dear Memory: Letters on Writing, Silence, and Grief; “Dear Teacher,”

[Text ID: “The language of poetry reminded me to stay alive. It reminded me that, when it felt like I had nothing, I was nothing, I still had words. I could ride language as if on a horseback, and it could take me anywhere, including deeply into myself.”]

Words change meaning over time.

Whether you're progressive or conservative, there's nothing you can do about that. As society moves forward, words will evolve with us. Meanings will change. Sometimes even misspellings become official spellings. Negative words will become positive words and vice versa.

Trying to keep everything the same is a pointless effort, especially if you're progressive.

Society can be shaped. Society can be changed. Society can get better and society can get worse. That is how the world is no matter where you're from.
