they make me want to chew on rocks
I think it’s funny they labeled their initials in them, as if the obvious size difference wouldn’t. Also this is stuff partners do to get their boyfriend’s scent on their clothes. Just sayin! Even if they weren’t a couple, I feel like there is such a good chance silco at least had a crush on him.
I'm sorry but Silco having his jacket tucked inside Vander's is just so intimate.
thinking about star vs and how disney took a trans girl from us
I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm
if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"
I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix
(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)
this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.
in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.
but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.
one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.
and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.
my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.
yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.

You won’t see this every day but making sure the system cannot proceed unless women have a seat at the table is the best possibly thing you can do in a place of privilege.

Can you explain 196 like it's a warhammer40k
r/196 is an anarchy sub-reddit with one rule: "you browse the sub-reddit, you have to post"
It has been one of the major subreddits closing during the black out of 2023, protesting against the redddit CEO's positions and actions about moderators. Being quite american left-leaning and openly queer friendly, some of them went to tumblr, so when you see a post from this epoch of "reddit refugees", that's often referring to people from r/196
For the record, I was on tumblr (with another account) before the black out, but r/196 was my favorite subreddit before the black-out (it has reopened since but I'm not going back to reddit), hence why I post with these tags.
