i (27F human adventurer) accidentally joined a dragon polycule (305F, 210F, 91F) and when i told them that i couldn't be a live-in pet for them because i have a job and taxes and stuff they got surprisingly mad at me. AITA?

just a little vent art, sorry if anything is out of character kris gets misgendered by the community a lot, and when it happens so often, it starts to get overwhelming. but, once you remember that the only people that really matter are the family/friends that love and respect you for you, you realize it'll all be ok

one part of the male gender role I can’t stand is thinking that being irritating and pissing women off is funny???? every man I’ve met thinks that’s hilarious and gets mad when I’m not into it. like why did no one teach them to shut the fuck up

Who knows that I haven't been on Tumblr much for more than a week?

"on god's green earth" is way too fun to say even when you don't believe in god and know most of it is blue, actually

"Irish doesn't have a word for please, you have to say if it be your will" buddy do I have news for you about "please"

"Irish doesn't have a word for hello you have to use a shorthand religious blessing" buddy do I have news for you about "goodbye"!

"In Polish the word for car is that which walks by itself" BUDDY what do you think an AUTOMOBILE is?

you have got to understand that your mother tongue is not the model of language. all your words have secret histories and layers of meaning just the same as other people's words. the word you think of as just a word has etymology, it wasn't handed down from God as a finished word. English doesn't have a word for movie you have to either refer to the recording medium or use a short version of "moving picture", isn't that cute?

Y'know I'm not a marxist-leninist at all but I'd trust ML's over Liberals any fucking day of the week, at least ML's are serious about what they say they believe in

People think Communism was some crazy idea that had its comeuppance 40 years ago. A fever that shook the world, never to return again. They were right. Until she woke up today – a spiritual corpse responsive only to the call of Commodore Red, prostitutes, and Kras Mazov. For her, Communism is still a thing. She will single-handedly raise the Commune of '02 from the oceanic trench where it has been resting, covered in ghosts and seaweed! She is the Big Communism Builder. Come, witness her attempt to rebuild Communism in the year '51!

Strange trans lifehack that I stumbled into:

For years I went by a shortened version of my legal name, which was generally considered to be a masculine name. People gave me endless grief for this. It was too much work to remember, compared to my legal name. It was just so hard to remember that I spelled it the normal masc way that people spelled that nickname, and not a femme-ified Tragideigh alternate spelling. It wasn’t even that different from my legal name anyway, so what was the big deal with people just using my legal name? Why was I being so difficult?

Then I legally changed my name to something ethnic and tricky to pronounce, with the exact same shortened nickname.

Now every time I tell people “oh, you can just call me x” I can hear the palpable relief in their voice as they do so. Overnight, my nickname turned from a concession to me into a concession to them. I instantly went from difficult to magnanimous – I’ve had people thank me for going by the same name I’ve been going by and getting grief for for well over a decade.

I guess sometimes the solution to “remembering your preferred name is too hard” is just to put the fear of god in ‘em. Oh, you think this incredibly common name that just happens to be a different gender is hard? Nah, I’ll show you hard. How about every time a stranger complains that remembering a preferred name in addition to what’s on my paperwork is too complicated, I add another phoneme that doesn’t exist in English to my legal one. Choke on that, lol.

when someone self diagnoses there's the possibility that they're wrong, unlike formal diagnosis which is infallible and never ever weaponised against anyone ever :)

[teeforhee]

oh huh! it turns out there's a difference between "growing up" and "waiting around so long you're not technically a child anymore"

[teeforhee]

honestly the boundaries between friendship and romance don’t really matter that much like at all if everyone involved is ok with it

[teeforhee]
