catgirl doms are always posting about mousegirls as a way of pushing against the idea of cats as submissive but what are the mousegirl doms posting about. seedgirls?
I heard some schools in the eastern US are closing today.

eclipsed by other concerns! 🥁
fuck esports, the only correct way to play smash is the way my 7 y/o niece plays it: connecting 2 controllers, setting one as peach, setting the other as marth, pretending marth is peach’s boyfriend and then playing virtual barbie and ken with them
can i be honest. it's fucked that terfs got to claim the term gender critical. like their asses are NOT critiquing the hegemonic ways that the male and female genders are forced into rigid societal roles and no other genders are permitted to exist, they agree with all that shit. they think it's biologically innate. they're just mad when someone tries to break out of it
