Ooh genuinely the best and most stressful part of going out of town is trying to make everything line up for this to all happen SO. my checklist of things to always do before you go:
Full disclosure: if possible I tend to take early-morning or late-night trips, so I often don't sleep before flying or travelling (anxiety about being late), so I tend to do all of this the night before travelling. I can't really advise on the best way to fit this into daytime leaving-times but you are clever people.
Stinky things. The obvious ones but it's easy to forget one or two. Clean the bathrooms, empty ALL the garbage and compost and recycling, flush the toilets and scrub them. It is tempting not to scrub your toilets before you go away because you are going away and will not be using them. This is the devil talking. Scrub your toilet. Also wash the sinks themselves. I don't care if you normally do or not, do it before you go away for three weeks. Put fresh garbage bags in. I know you are not going to be using the garbage for three weeks but you-in-three-weeks is going to be pissed at you-right-now when you get home and just want to toss out your garbage and fall asleep. (yes it is a small thing. yes it is worth it.)
Bath/shower. Make sure your shower curtain is spread out! Save yourself the mildew! If you like baths, make sure your tub is clean so that if you want to come home and soak you can! Either way, have things ready to have a shower when you get back.
Laundry: sheets, towels, clothes. This one is the most pain in the ass because it involves timing your laundry for a few days before, if you're like me, but there is nothing better than coming home to fresh sheets on a newly made bed, clean towels laid out, and pyjamas all ready (or a set of clothes that you don't have to think about, if you have to go to work/school/other things as soon as you get back in).
Laundry - sheets. The night before I travel I'll change out my sheets and ideally since I'm up all night wash the dirty sheets and put them away so I don't have to worry about them upon return. If you can't do fully fresh sheets, wash them the day before, and take a few minutes to make sure your bed is made nicely. That way when you get in you can either fall asleep right away, or start unpacking and sort things on your bed without having to strip or remake it.
Laundry - towels. I do my sheets and towels all together, so the same rules apply. Leave a full towel set ready for yourself (and however many other people in the house are travelling). If you have roommates who aren't travelling, this isn't as much a problem, but still make sure you have towels set aside for yourself for when you return, in case your roommate used them all and forgot to do laundry.
Laundry - clothes. I don't like leaving laundry sitting before going away in case it stinks or starts to take up smells, so same as the sheets, I'll do all the dirty laundry before going away, so that hopefully the only dirty laundry I have is what I'm wearing when I leave the house. If I have to, I'll do laundry the day before I travel, and whatever clothes I'll be wearing for that day, I make sure I would want to take them with me, so that I toss them in my bag and clean them while travelling. Same with pyjamas.
Speaking of pyjamas! Make sure you leave a clean set ready. Put them under your pillow or lay them out on your bed. Same goes for clothing--before you leave, it's never a bad idea to lay out some outfits for when you return. If you can, have a nice outfit and a casual outfit, even if you're planning on getting home in the evening and not having to do anything. There's always a chance your flight gets delayed or rescheduled, and this way if the worst-case scenario hits and you need to get home and run out the door to work, you're set and have saved yourself a few minutes of stress; and best case scenario, you can just come home and change out of your gross travel clothes and into comfy clothes.
And about your clean clothes: fold them and put them away. Half of this is all less about having to do the work itself when you return and more about the relief of not having the visual clutter, mess, or reminder of further chores to be done. Coming home to empty laundry baskets just feels good.
Dishes. Self explanatory. Don't leave any. Wash the sink itself. Leave them to dry themselves, no worries. But DO NOT leave the dishwasher full; in my experience unless you clean your dishwasher regularly the dishes in there are just likely to get gross all over again.
Fridge. Go through it a few days before you go. Make sure you're using what can't be frozen. Don't wait until the day before to start sorting and packing things up to freeze. And more things can be frozen than you think! Look it up if you're not sure! Last time I left I was up late prepping a huge block of paneer for freezing because it took prep work, so make sure you're prepared to take a bit of time for that instead of getting blindsided.
Floors. Sweep them, mop if you get a chance. Dust is going to settle while you're gone and you are going to have to sweep when you get back anyways, but better to minimize that so you aren't super grumpy when you take your socks off. Same goes for vacuuming carpets.
The rest is mostly just tidying up clutter and making things look organized. You're doing this for no one but yourself, so don't be too harsh about it, but think about what you-in-three-weeks will want to return to. It doesn't have to be "everything in its right place" but certainly enough that you're not having to clean off counter space or sort through piles, or looking at a pile and sighing because you will have to sort through it.
If you have the ability to plan food for yourself for when you get in, do that. See if you've got something shelf-stable or in the freezer that you can have for breakfast the day after you get in so you aren't panicking about buying groceries immediately. Try to have a prepped meal in the freezer that you can microwave or something of the sort if you don't want to have to buy a meal.
This is about giving yourself some room to decompress after travelling! While it's a break from work or school or whatever, it's often also stressful, and if the travelling aspect itself isn't stressing you out, there's likely a bit of dread about returning to work, or having to cook, or just...daily life. Make it so that when you get home, you're able to relax for a little bit longer. That the chores you have to do are related to unpacking, not cleaning up your messes from three weeks ago.
Don't be afraid to ask people for help with all of this. If you live with roommates and can't wash your sheets before you go, ask if they can wash them for you. If a friend is watering your plants and collecting your mail for you, leave $50 and a grocery list and ask if they can grab some essentials for when you get back. If someone is housesitting for you, make sure they know your expectations for how clean the place should be when you return. Maybe ask if they can sweep a few days before you get back. Get them to take the leftovers out of the freezer so that they're thawed by the time you get in.
I am not very serious about planning for travelling. What I am serious about is planning for returning. That last point is probably the most crucial: if you have friends or family or loved ones who will be able to help when you get back, ask if they can. And do the same for them! When someone is going away for a long time, ask if there's anything you can do to help. If they've got a ride to or from the airport, if you could bring them a meal when they get back. It's nice for if they're returning from a vacation, it's better if they're returning from travelling for more serious reasons, and it means you get to see them to say hello, if only for a few exhausted minutes.
Trust OP when they say that returning to a clean house is better than sex. (And perhaps if you aren't too tired after travelling you can in fact have great sex in your clean house!)
edit lmao i just actually went through the rest of the notes on this post to find someone else saying "DO NOT STAY AWAKE ALL NIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE TRAVELLING TO GET THIS ALL DONE IN A PANIC, MAKE A CLEANING PLAN OR SCHEDULE FOR THE DAY BEFORE TRAVELLING" and you should probably listen to them, unless you're like me and going to be awake anyways, in which case just make sure you don't start at midnight and need to be ready to leave at 5am.
adding something to my "adult advice that i had to discover for myself either because no one told me or when i saw adults do it as a kid i couldn't possibly understand," featuring such hits as "grill sandwiches with mayo" and "almost no quality matters more than flexibility," and it is:
clean your house before a vacation because returning to an already clean house is waaay better than sex
#if i know you and you're travelling feel free to ask me for any of these things!#i will do your laundry for you!!!

There's thunderous knocking on the door and it startles Eddie out of his sleep.
He needs a moment to readjust, but Robin isn't the type to give anyone even a second, so his brain catches something about a nut before it's quiet again. He blinks at the white ceiling above him.
"What."
"She said she's gonna grab some bread and doughnuts from the bakery," Steve murmurs next to him so he turns his head, suddenly remembering that he's in his friend's bed, and it's the day of their little party.
He immediately snatches his gaze back up.
"Why the fuck are you naked?!"
"Huh? Oh, sorry," Steve rolls in the sheets to cover up some of his body. He doesn't sound very sorry. "Must have shifted in my sleep."
Eddie eyes him with curiosity.
"You weren't naked last time."
"Huh?"
Steve lays on his side to listen to him, and with his bare chest and tousled hair, he looks way too relaxed for the circumstances. It is his bed, duh, but he's looking at Eddie all naked and sleepy and it feels... not wrong per se, but it makes his stomach churn in a new way.
"When you slept over at the trailer, you had clothes."
"Oh," Steve frowns, trying to remember that day. "I guess I changed to use the bathroom and didn't bother turning back."
Eddie raises his eyebrows.
"So you draw the line of doghood at peeing outside?"
"Don't call it doghood," Steve scrunches his nose in distaste. "I couldn't open the front door with my paws anyway. Otherwise, I do pee in Dinkleberg's garden quite often," he admits.
"No way," Eddie grins at the information. "Do you shit outside too?"
Steve makes a face.
"I did once. It felt too weird not being able to wipe, but his face was worth it."
Eddie bursts out laughing.
"You're so gross, man!" he says, pushing at Steve's shoulders so he loses his balance and falls against the pillows.
"You asked!"
"What if we—" a snort interrupts him and he falls forward, pressing his temple against his friend to find his bearings. "We can install a pet door for you? Wait, no, you're kinda big for that. If I wrap some rope against the handle, could you open it? I have a neighbor who really deserves some urine in his slippers."
Steve groans, pushing Eddie away.
"Well, who's being gross now?"
"I'm still not the one who shits in my neighbor's yard!" Eddie protests, but Steve is already leaving the bed with an indignant huff, and his body is suddenly on full display. "Dude!" he squawks, shielding his gaze from his friend's naked butt.
"Oh come on, we have the same parts!" Steve turns to him, but his dick moves along, making Eddie disappear under the covers.
"It's not about the parts, It's about human decency!"
"Well, I'm not fully human, so..." Steve points out, but it does sound like he's opening his wardrobe. "And I walk around naked all the time."
Eddie thinks about it for a second.
"Well, yeah, but then you're not—"
He cuts himself off.
But then you're not attractive.
"I'm not what?"
In his scramble for a comprehensive answer, Eddie escapes the confines of bed covers, hoping he'll provide more oxygen for his brain this way. But with his terrible timing, he emerges at the perfect moment to catch Steve's naked, bent-over ass just before it gets covered by a pair of boxers.
Lord have mercy.
"Not human," he finishes lamely, all coherent thoughts suddenly gone.
Steve scoffs, turning around with his dick finally out of sight.
"Yeah, I'm not," he agrees easily, way too easily, before grabbing a pair of jean shorts. "You can take whatever you want to wear," he motions to the open closet, already walking towards the door.
"And for the record, I didn't shit in Dinkleberg's yard, I did it on his doormat," he adds before leaving the room, leaving Eddie to stare at where he disappeared.
====
Eddie's glad their mismatched group includes people who know the basics of barbequing and he doesn't have to get involved. There's also the card of "I helped with preparations so fuck off" that he can pull anytime anyone gives him the stink eye. This way, he can keep his distance and just observe. His scheming seems to be paying off and the seeds he planted in the little goblins and the dog-man himself, had taken root.
Steve sits on the warmed ground while Robin's hand is in his hair, and El feeds him whatever she didn't like from her skewer. He's heard Dustin praise the burgers. Dustin. Everyone has been contributing to making Steve feel more appreciated, either with words, physical touch, or even small gestures, like Max bringing him an extra Coke from the cooler.
So that was all great. But among his observing, Eddie notices some new things too.
Like Steve's hairy chest. How his muscles move with each movement and how he absentmindedly rubs on his scars. The way the moles on his cheek jump when he smiles and his shorts fill out when he bends.
Has it always been there?
Or more importantly, has Eddie always been interested in his friend?
He'd entertained the idea of fancying men ages ago but shoved it aside at the way easier, less problematic prospect of women, their tiny skirts, and the wild rocker chicks. So the gay thing isn't the scariest part, but rather the fact that he wasn't aware.
Now he can't help but think that his whole 'helping a friend out' thing had ulterior motives behind it, conceived deep in his subconscience. Getting closer to Steve, spending time with him, touching him, oh god he's been touching him so much. He'd look at his hands in betrayal if he wasn't holding food.
He takes a bite out of his hot dog but finds it cold and dry, which makes him wonder how long he's been people-watching instead of interacting with his friends like a normal human being. When he looks up again, he meets Steve's gaze and suddenly realizes he's making very unattractive open-mouthed movements with his jaw. Eddie clicks his mouth shut and forces himself to swallow, but thankfully, Steve seems to find it more amusing than disgusting.
Not that it would matter if Steve found him unattractive and repulsive or anything.

everyone wants to talk about how the law is effortless, manifestation is effortless, but it seems to me nobody wants to talk about the effort one has to put in before being able to effortlessly apply it. manifesting is tied to general well-being, mindset and energy, and it is not the same for everybody. i've seen one too many people getting asks from others with genuine questions and giving them no guidance, no compassion, just buzz words, mantras and snark; so, here: an actually helpful guide to loa and manifestation, where i actually tell you things
─── ִֶָ ๑˙ 🎀 ̟ !! step 1 : self concept
self concept is the way you perceive and treat yourself.
here is a video explaining it in depth:
youtube
now that we know what it is and what makes a good, high self concept, here are some specific ideas on how to boost it:
first, it is important to develop a sense of self and identity. get to know yourself, find out who you are and what you really want, what fulfills you. i like to use journaling for this
here are some prompts for you to use:
and some subliminals, if you'd like to use them:
1. 432Hz frequency + self-concept by iwiigi: 🌸
2. mindset + self-concept by moza morph: 🍨
3. self concept by Alice's Enchanted Cottage: 💕
➙ you do not have to use subliminals, but i personally love to
some other ways to boost your self concept:
᯽ practice self care. physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually
᯽ discipline your thoughts. don't let your inner bully run their mouth
᯽ validate yourself, praise yourself, celebrate yourself
᯽ work on healing your inner child
᯽ do things that make you feel confident - wear your makeup, hair and clothes how you like it, dance sexily in your room, pretend to be a celebrity, whatever it takes to feel like you are it
᯽ spend quality time with yourself, doing things that make you happy
᯽ do nice things for others. simple things like smiling at people, or complimenting someone do wonders both for them, and yourself
REMEMBER: you don't need to do any of this, these are just ideas; do what feels right for you
─── ִֶָ ๑˙ 🎀 ̟ !! step 2 : align with receiving
this is what hinders most people in receiving their manifestations, and it is not your fault. it can be hard to receive effortlessly, especially if you are used to only giving, or having to work hard to receive. that is what the world has taught you.
work on becoming comfortable with receiving without endeavor, and on not feeling indebted or inadequate. this is why self concept is important. you will not receive what you do not feel worthy of. you will not receive if you don't feel comfortable accepting.
to become more comfortable with receiving, all you have to do is treat yourself! not just materially, but spiritually and emotionally. lavish yourself with care, compliments, little treats, rest, partaking in things that bring you enjoyment, etc. keep reminding yourself you deserve only the best, both by affirming, and actually giving yourself the good things. even if you feel you haven't been "productive", choose to spoil yourself. choose to live deliciously.
─── ִֶָ ๑˙ 🎀 ̟ !! step 3 : really embrace the simplicity
please, stop reading posts that use huge, abstract words and tell you to "just do" something. stop engaging with blogs that put people down or refuse to explain. they are bringing down your vibration, and they are complicating the law beyond all recognition. just do what feels right
you wanna use methods? use them!
feel drawn to practicing spells? go ahead!
subliminals look cool to you? wonderful!
you feel right just deciding and carrying on? hell yeah!
whatever you do to manifest your desires, be it affirming, making a vision board, scripting, SATS, or whatever else, as long as it feels good, it will work.
follow your happiness and your intuition. trust yourself. stop seeking validation from the outside, just do what you think is best
─── ִֶָ ๑˙ 🎀 ̟ !! step 4 : coping with perceived lack
now, we all know you aren't actually lacking. if you have decided to manifest something, it is yours. but what if you don't see it in your perceived reality? you don't have to ignore the illusion of lack. in fact, i would say it is self-limiting to attempt that
instead, make peace with waiting
understand that the moment you decide something is yours, movement starts, even if not visible to you in your surroundings yet. the moment you decide, you begin to align with your desire, and the universe starts to work on getting it to you. it is like online shopping. placing your order is instant, but it takes a little bit of time for it to actually get into your hands. and just like with a package, while you wait for your manifestation to get to you, you don't need to stress about it. just do what feels good and live your best life, do what makes you happy. you don't need to pretend you already have it. you just need to live in the knowing that you will. persist in the knowing.

Hey, so Texas just put a MINIMUM $5000 bounty on being transgender/gender non-conforming. The bill is TX HB1075.
If you don't speak legal, let me give it in laymans terms:
If you are identified at birth as male, you are expected to wear mens clothing. If you are identified at birth as female, you are expected to wear womens clothing. If you do not conform to this expectation, and you so much as sing or dance in public, you're considered as performing "Drag". Furthermore, simply existing in public while not conforming to the above defined expectation can also be seen as "Drag". If a minor is present then you can face a minimum $5000 fine to be paid in bounty to the other party, plus their court costs, and any damages, psychological, physical, economical, and emotional.
I personally think it's time to remove the United States "3rd Safe Country" status for all LGBTQIA+ people seeking assylum in Canada. They're adding fucking BOUNTIES on transgender and gender non-conforming people. I don't care if there's "safe states" or "sanctuary states". If someone has to uproot their life in their home country, in anywhere in their home country, they should be able to seek assylum in a country that has laws that protect them. It may be CHEAPER to literally leave the country than to find the one small hold-out space that accepts them.
Until that happens, to all those in the US who need to escape this, or something like this, here's a place to start:
It's not the only group out there, and if you know reputable others, please reblog and link.

guys I'm going to be honest with you I don't think this is a fair comparison at all
#notably shoes are not smth that specifically half the population has to wear to be socially accepted whether it's helpful to them or not!#<- & we can talk about support but the fact of the matter is a lot of women don't need that support & still had to wear them#sorry to complain i just hate these types of posts#i want to emphasize I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who loves historical clothing & thinks abt it all the time#and who rolls his eyes as much as the next person when they try to copy paste modern feminist beliefs into the 19th century or#inexplicably fuck up the silhouette or make their heroines refuse to wear corsets in contexts they wouldn't as much as anyone#& i have no judgement for women in the past who wore them i think they were just as smart & capable & critical as any of us#but i find it really weird how people's reaction to exaggeration & demonization of corsets (bad i agree!)#is to turn around & pretend like they're inherently neutral objects.#like come on guys we're history people. very few objects are going to exist in any way entirely neutrally & socially contextless#i think it's deeply bizarre to pretend misogyny has no influence on women's historical clothing like this#thoughts

"mutants are poc analogy" "mutants are queer analogy" Listen, X-Men and as such mutants as a whole should really be disability representation, and I mean representation and not analougous to it they just occassionally also get to blast ice while having furniture not built for them, struggles with keeping their mind in the present, and constantly having people casually discuss sterilizing or euthanizing them and being considered either dangerous or simply incapable of understanding when they get mad about this. But nobody is ready for this conversation.
#Marvel#X-Men#But no as someone who is queer and also has untreated disabilities#Plays at saying being antimutant is metaphorically homophobic mostly just pisses me off#And I'm sure people of color aren't thrilled when Mutants As Analogous To Racism comes up since most of the big names are white#And more often than not this is usually used for Marvel to avoid actually talking about the real issues#Nevermind rarely combine in an interesting way when you do get a gay mutant or a poc mutant or a gay poc mutant#However any time they run into the world simply not being built to accomodate their physical or mental needs and get sneers for asking#You can immediately see me doing the Leonardo DiCaprio point#“but what about Homo Superior” nobody in the 616 knows how genes work because the writers don't#And as a scientist if I have to see X-Gene pop up one more time I'm going to transmogrify into Galactus and eat the planet#One of the biggest experts on Mutant biology is from the Victorian era why are we listening to him#Anyway where are the DIY accomodation features for people with tails or touch telepaths#Rogue basically had to be bubblewrapped most of her life once her powers kicked in#Scott has literal braindamage on top of his powers so he's either blind or colorblind if he doesn't want eyebeam everything#Magneto and Polaris's mental instability probably is related to their electromagnetics fucking with their brains#And Also They Both Have Hella PTSD#Hank has had to make shit that's big enough for him or just run around in boxers#Kurt literally had to use holograms to hide his physical appearance and sometimes still does or has to wear concealing clothes#Logan has chronic pain and rips his skin open any time he pops his claws#Big Fuckoff Migraines plague all psychics#And we have ALL of the Morlocks EVER#Isn't Hellion using his powers to make up for having no hands??#Or at least was before they walked it back like they did the Professor needing a wheelchair#I just think there is an argument to be had here about this

Just as an intro, yes this post reads VERY white. Unfortunately a lot of recent history is only accessible through white lenses and as I myself am about as white as it is possible to be, I don't have another viewpoint that I can write from with any kind of authority. My lack of experience does not negate anyone else's experiences or views.
In the 80s, being punk was how you showed disdain for conformity. NO, I DON'T Want to be Like You THE WOLRD IS SHITTY AND I AM ANGRY. They were the trash that you warned your kids to stay away from because they were dangerous and violent.
Grunge quickly followed suit with Yeah the world is shitty why do what the boring conformist bougies tell you when you can just do your own thing over here instead. They were the trash you hoped your kids got sick of but the worst parents ever suspected of them was maybe a bit of weed and some clumsy make outs, not that big a deal.
In the late 90s (my teens) it was goths. We are so sick of you and your church and shoving it down my throat with pushing for prayer in schools and Christian Pop Rock all over the billboard top 40. That kid is a witch now and You JUST Don't Get It. Depression is my baseline and the idea of being like you is the cause. We were the trash that were just indulging in a phase and would grow out of it, so we could be humored but mostly ignored (unless your parents were hard core Bible bashers, in which case you would get sent to something akin to conversion therapy - since you were also probably Queer it often was just outright conversion therapy).
Then the emos showed up and people started getting annoyed, partly because suddenly there were goths that you COULDN'T ignore for two reasons, they were LOUD about being sad and THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM. Since they couldn't be ignored out of existence, the Western world decided to collectively bully them instead. They were the trash that was Just So Damn Cringe!
And now poverty is skyrocketing. Homelessness is a plague that has struck so many people who have committed no crime outside of bad luck. Actual fascists are in positions of power. Planned obsolescence and decades of lobbying by the oil industry in favour of petrol and plastics is destroying everything beautiful about this planet.
And Punk is back. Be ANGRY at your politicians who don't listen. Let your anger be heard so that they know you will not accept these ideas. Grunge is back. It doesn't have to be new, it just has to be functional. Work together to make a community you WANT to live in. Goth is back. Mourn for the world we were promised but never saw. Learn about belief systems that are different to the one you were raised in, ESPECIALLY if doing so pisses off your parents. Emo is back. Fuck haters. Cringe is dead. Being comfortable in your own skin means being allowed to do what YOU want, not having to exist for the benefit of someone else.
Before us it was hippies and beatniks and flappers and dadaists and before them there were the coffee shop philosophers and the point is there have ALWAYS been people who want the world to see its own flaws and fix them. I know other cultures had the same sorts of groups, like the Japanese Subekan gangs (who created the original lolita fashion trend as a way to take femininity back from being sexualized) and Islamic Sufism (an Islamic sect who practice things forbidden by stricter groups, such as singing and dancing) but I'm an armchair scholar, not an expert.
When society is broken, our numbers surge.
We are surging.
Society needs us.
#do good recklessly#Because society fucking HATES it#It's all good talking about how the world needs to be fixed#But to change things#You need to do things differently#And people despise change#And counterculture shows them a mirror that tells them they need to change anyway#When you dye and style your hair ''unprofessionally''#When you mend torn clothes with safety pins and patches instead of buying new ones#When you don't wear the make up and clothes from this season's displays during the season they're being displayed#And that's enough to make some bigot scoff at you and treat you as less human than them#You are shoving that mirror in their face#You are asking them what the fuck they think freedom means Earl#And if you can do that safely you should#And if you are as white and straight passing and cis passing as I can be#You are probably WAY more likely to be able to do that safely#So you should#Because there are SO MANY people who can't#ESPECIALLY NOW#YOU ARE NOT CRINGE FOR NOT CONFORMING#Conformity is a tool of those in power#Fight the system by not following stupid rules#And most of them are stupid

I want a LOT more support for the body neutrality movement over body positivity at this point because in my eyes body pos gave us midsize people reassuring one another that they weren’t fat and barely-chubby models donning padding and shapewear to create the Perfectly Sexy Hourglass fatty so we could have unrealistic standards just the same as everyone else.
#this post brought to you by the dawning horror that is the resurgence of thin-is-in heroin chic#and the corollary reminder that we were only briefly a fashionable body type bc we were one component of the skinnythick trend#companies who previously loudly shouted their affirmations for plus size bodies once again moving that stock to online-only#they want our money but they dont want our unfashionable bodies in the store#perhaps this will change when our bodies are briefly considered on trend once more#I don't think like. I don't think people who can find their clothes in a brick and mortar quite understand what its meant to be plus size#always seeing your size as 'online only'#needing to pay shipping just to TRY CLOTHES ON#often finding that the fit is either a straight size simply made bigger#or so curve-emphasizing that it's difficult to wear for work#this is why despite all of its bullshit i continue to shop at torrid#the ability to try things on in store and see fashionable work appropriate clothes for an adult plus size person is...unparalleled#temeritiveRaconteur#fatphobia

ive been seeing a new wave of transmedicalists lately I think we gotta start being vocal again about how nasty they are. you don't need to take hormones or have surgery to be a trans person. changing your name and pronouns is gender affirming care. wearing new clothes and hair and makeup is part of transitioning too. you dont need to pass to be trans, you don't need to be male or female.
nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, genderqueer people are trans too if that's a label they want to use for themselves. and anyone who says otherwise is a piece of shit. it's not "anti-transitioning" to say so, it's anti-telling other people what to do with their bodies. it's pro-minding your own fucking business and letting people do what they want with their gender and treating them with compassion and enthusiasm

UO being like "weregoats and werecats are peace-loving, and avoid war" is so stupid, have the developers ever met either of these animals before, goats fear neither gods nor devils and will ascend vertical surfaces in search of those Sweet Sweet Minerals, and while I've met some very sweet cats I've also met cats who would've eviscerated someone if they were but slightly larger, AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN WEREOWLS CAN ONLY SUPPORT--owls? owls which are often apex predators in their ecosystems and can pinpoint prey with deadly accuracy
the main characters for this segment being a Normal Human Girl and her 12 ft. tall built-like-a-mountain adopted brother who is basically a prince and also a lion, and their mom is an owl, is the funniest thing though
I will also give the dev team props for not making the wererabbits weirdly sexy, instead opting for ''that's just a regular rabbit who wears clothing and also talks" option
#minor unicorn overlord spoilers#I'm not actually upset or anything I'm more just poking fun at writing decisions for the heck of it#usually ''anthropomorphic beast people'' don't really work for me in fantasy bc the fantasy racism isn't usually handled very tastefully#but the lack of understanding for the general behaviors of the animals they did use for their fantasy furries is wild like#zoologists are Very Unhinged about their area of study the information for most animals is usually easy to find and learn#I get needing to have generic townspeople who don't fight but like they could have just been generic variations of the playable bestrals#like how the elf townspeople are just elves who are not warriors and decided clothing was actually okay to wear#I do actually really like the characters I've met so far even if I think the visual design and lore decisions are a little wonky#oracle of lore

Look, it is true that fashion industry has changed rapidly during the last 30 years, but sometimes when I see people bemoaning how "clothes are so bad and flimsy nowadays" it basically boils down to the solution of STOP BUYING FAST FASHION.
#I remember seeing a post that was about modern skirts not having underskirts any more#as someone who wears exclusively skirts to work I went to inspect my wardrobe and basically most of my skirts and dresses that were#from brands considered middle pricepoint range had underskirts and the ones that did not were mostly from fast fashion brands#yeah the quality of clothes has been dropping because fast fashion is what sells and you cannot produce quality#when stuff needs to be fast and cheap but there are literally so many brands that do not follow this ideology#I have the hunch that people who complain about flimsy clothes are not willing to accept that good quality also means higher price tag#because fast fashion also has changed how much we think clothes should cost#and I get it - if you don't have that much spare money to spend it is disheartening to realise how much nice clothes cost as new#and also one's body type dictates the amount of options they have#but as someone who is interested in fashion and sees the array of options it feels jarring that folks get unhappy that fast fashion does no#represent their standards instead of idk throwing money at some seamstress that has their own indie brand or so#Sara talks about her boring life

I'm trying to write a post about tick safety and avoiding tick bites, but a lot of the info on websites is like "Avoid going in the woods, in plants, and where there are wild animals" and "Activities like hiking and gardening can put you at risk" and I'm like thanks! This is worthless!
As ticks and tick borne illnesses are expanding their range, I think it's important for people to be educated about these things, and I think it's especially important to give people actual advice on how to protect themselves instead of telling them to just...avoid the natural world
Rough draft version of Tick Advice:
Ticks don't jump down on you from trees, they get on you when you brush against grass, brush, bushes etc.
Ticks get brought to an area when they get done feeding from an animal and fall off them. In the USA, the main tick-bringing animal is deer, but I've seen plenty ticks on feral cats and songbirds.
Ticks get killed when they dry out so drier areas with more sunlight are less favorable to ticks.
The above is useful for figuring out whether an area is likely to have lots of ticks, and how vigilant you have to be in that area.
Wear light-colored, long pants outside. Tuck your pants into your socks, and tuck your shirt into the waist of your pants. Invest in light, breathable fabrics idc
IMMEDIATELY change out of your outside clothes when you come back from a tick-prone area, wash them, and dry them on high heat to kill any ticks that might be stuck on.
Shower and check yourself for ticks after coming inside. Hair, armpits, and nether regions in particular. You can use a handheld mirror or rely on touch; an attached tick will feel like a bump kinda like a scab
While you're outside, you can just periodically check for ticks by running your hands down your legs and checking visually to see if anything is crawling on your clothes. Light colors make them easy to spot, and they don't move fast.
Combing through each others' hair to check for creepy crawly critters is a time-honored primate ritual and is not weird. When hiking, bring a friend who will have your back when you feel something on your neck and need to know if it's sweat or a tick
If you're careful, you can usually catch ticks before they bite you, but if one does bite you, it's not the end of the world. Since tickborne diseases are different regionally i suspect this advice will differ based on where you are, but the important thing is remove the tick with tweezers (DON'T use butter, a lit match, or anything that kills the tick while it's still attached, please) and contact a doctor to see what to watch for. Most illnesses you can catch from ticks are easily treatable if you recognize them when symptoms first appear

The unnecessary digs from people on the daily lmao and it's almost always on what i wear. Like nobody asked, you look like you blindfolded chose your outfit from primark love.

I'm main character#people bitching about me? main character core#had a comically shit day? main character things#i think I've only ever really gotten digs made about my clothes tbh.#that and the way i think / what i do. but in terms of#people HATED it when i just woke up and said it was time for a new job.#i was called a self entitled bitch for actually thinking i could just go get another job like that#but guess who did. got offers from every single application i made . and that made people madder#but what could they say. it wasn't the so called delusion they claimed it to be.#i'm sorry i know what i want lmfao#ket tag

I was recently thinking about a frustration I've had with the way the fandom treats one of my favorite characters, and how I often frame it as "I hate how they feminize him" only to immediately feel off about it bc that's not really it. Because if I think about it for two seconds, I really love seeing him with things associated with femininity. It's not really a man being "feminized" that's the issue so much as how people treat femininity. I think what I've really been frustrated with is how he's been infantilized. And I think part of that association for me is just a history of m/m relationships being pushed into m/f gender roles and the "woman in the relationship" is always made weaker and helpless and needy. There's also a history of characters being pushed into a feminine role while being portrayed as actively hating it or being incredibly embarrassed by it.
And so in my mind being feminine became equal to "being treated like a girl" which became equal to "being made pathetic and shamed for it." And I think that last part is what I really hate.
#coyo speaks#there's one fanart I love where like... a bunch of characters were tricked into wearing women's clothes or something idk#but my fav character was in it and he had actually agreed to do it willingly and seemed super comfortable with it#and was even commenting on how cute another character looked and flirting with him#and jeez I think about that a lot#just him being so comfortable with femininity without that dictating how he acts or his relationships with others#and it didn't even come off as him acting that way 'despite' cross dressing#he doesn't need to overcompensate bc he's comfortable with himself and not driven by other people's expectations of him#I also really hate when people make him super dependent in relationships...#like there's definitely people who would really enjoy being taken care of#but he's always struck me as the kind of person who would be very independent even in a close relationship#he's neither the provider nor the receiver. he's just himself#and I don't think he'd do well in a relationship that doesn't allow him the freedom he needs
