sometimes i hate-read papers about translation efforts because anthropocentrism can't conceive of xenodiplomatic methodologies that aren't fucking terrible

queer culture is not being many people's type, but for the people whose type you are you are *extremely* their type

Picrew avatars are good and nice and a fantastic option for people that want something custom made to express themselves but can't/don't want to commission art for whatever reason

And you shouldn't be mean to people who use them

flapping so hard i inadvertently trick my brain into thinking im excited

aba 

this is worth a read, if you can stomach an entire article on how aba treats human children worse than the legally mandated treatment of dogs. and no, that's not an exaggeration—aba is sometimes compared to dog training, and this is an actual dog trainer pointing out that no, they're nothing alike. dog training is Humane

as the saying goes: one man's trash is another man's gender

its important to realize how internalized racism informs our actions and thoughts. sometimes we justify certain things in a way that isnt racist on its own, but the underlying causes are still rooted on racism

I'm right and I'm gonna say it.

Rigid expression of gender as either 100% feminine or 100% masculine is un-fucking-natural.

So the secret to not waking up tired is to sleep early! Who would have thought?! Now that's a life hack I'll remember!

i am unapologetically weird. i don’t give a rat’s ass what you think about my hobbies or my likes. excuse me for having a fucking personality just because it doesn’t line up with what you think is acceptable
