Ya found me! 💕
Plants don’t have nerve endings, nervous systems or brains to process fear/pain. There is no comparison between 🐔’s & 🥔’ s.
Eating 🥩 because you enjoy it is the moral equivalent of watching 🐶 fighting because you enjoy it.
Feeding a cow for years, then killing it for only a handful of meals is wildly inefficient. ♻️
Studies link meat to heart disease, strokes, diabetes and pancreatic cancer.🫀
Beans are cheap af. 💵
I mostly agree about the Muppets, I don’t really see the appeal and have never found any of their media all thay interesting.
HOWEVER
The Christmas Carol is the one exception, I don’t like it because it’s Muppets, I like it for the beautiful music and honestly heartwarming storytelling. Best adaptation by far and it’s a Christmas tradition now.
Like Republicans are anti-whaling anyways… 🙄
The selective outrage over animal rights is such manufactured bullshit. But if I am being honest, democrats, progressives and leftists are all equally culpable in these do nothing virtue signal outrages. If you are wearing leather, eating meat and financing animal factory farming, I don’t wanna hear about your crocodile tears when an imaginary whale or a fictional dog is hurt.
What was life like for ever human that has ever existed? I’d like to see every single day start to finish from their perspective, sorted as randomly as possible.
The worst part of traditional immortality is being stuck as you, I’d like to experience the entire library and range of human experinces. It would eventually know how it started and how it all ended, while seeing every perspective that got us there. They’d be a lot of days toiling in a field, a lot of days in office cubicles toiling in excel, but most importantly I’d see the small victories and tragedies that make up every life. I think that’d be the real beauty.
In November 2022, McCormick noticed a news report detailing an “unauthorized and unlicensed cannabis farm, located on unincorporated land,” that was raided by members of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. McCormick then met with members of the sheriff’s office to provide paperwork showing the legality of his cannabis farm.
At around 4:30 a.m. local time on December 7, McCormick was woken up by members of the sheriff’s office as they began their raid.
Fuck! He proactively went to show his legal status and all that did was put himself on their radar.
However, the sheriff’s office was informed by members of the tribe that they were not authorized to conduct the raid on their land. In turn, members of the sheriff’s office said the tribal members “didn’t know what they were talking about,” the lawsuit said.
Much of McCormick’s property and cannabis plants were destroyed during the raid and officers confiscated $300,000 from the tribe’s safe.
Outright theft. They had no jurisdiction and didn’t care that they didn’t.
Additionally, the lawsuit said that on January 8, 2023, McCormick’s "family home ‘mysteriously’ caught fire, after the sheriff’s office ordered power and water to his property to be turned off, resulting in the home “being completely burned down,” along with much of his personal belongings.
Why would the water be shut off?! Goddamnit. Every part of this article is infuriating, nothing about this was law enforcement, just armed thugs raiding locals for fun and profit.
like whenever I see other trans women who don’t pass it gives me a little burst of dread
As a someone who does pass, these moments fill me with guilt and a degree of imposter syndrome as I wonder why I got to be lucky when I am no more valid than anyone else. And then that’s more guilt as I then become self-conscious of something that I know so many people strive and yearn for. But these moments also prompt memories of my early days when I was absolutely not passing, and how fragile, scared and humiliated I felt.
Letting go of passing as a concept entirely is probably unrealistic for most of us, but when you have these moments of dread it’s healthier to recognize your common fears, struggles and vulnerability. Don’t let dread win, because you only ever notice 100% of the people you do notice. Some of us eventually live in stealth, and then have internalized intrusive thoughts from that as well.
In a sense I guess I’m saying the grass is always greener, so it’s better to learn comradery with those that feel the same as you do, as opposed to using them as a yard stick for yourself. It’s not something that will just click and fade away, but a consenious choice to be the kindness we all want to see in the world.
Religious freedom only applies to MY RELIGION, never yours. 🙄
Now I’m not racist but…
… people that prefer the bottom number are a blight upon the world and should be sterilized and forced in to education camps.
Lol sure, but wealthy straight cis white men have always had full right to marry, arms, or vote. Every other group of people has had to argue for those freedoms, while others are considered the “default person”.
Do trans people vote for someone that will allow them Healthcare or the one calling their existance pedophilia? That’s not a choice, but it’s a position many trans people are uniquely in. Just as black Americans had to argue for their freedom, to vote, to self protection. Just as women have to vote and own property. Just as queer folk have to marry.
Indifference to these situations means you’re rights are so taken for granted that they will never be stripped away, so you are afforded the luxury of swing both parties the same
The privileged perspective of those that don’t have their rights controlled by politics.
Writers use pen names too. I’m kinda confused why OP even thinks this is notable?
When straight people have had centuries of being forced to conform into queer lifestyles out of religious, cultural or legal threat. Then they can have a flag.
It’s not PRIDE to be proud of yourself, it’s PRIDE as opposed to being ashamed of existing in public.
It’s terrible that this happened.
But… couldn’t happen to a better person.
Hair is a super important identity marker, for everyone! The army has uniform buzz cuts for a reason, and historically strictly enforced on to minorities, it’s all about forced assimilation and control. Asking this child to get in line and look like the rest of the unit is specfically trying to rid him of his culture. Can’t believe this shit is still occurring.
Ooofh that’s pretty damning. 😂
Thanks for copying that in, dang pay wall.
I mean this is the same Ubisoft franchise that snuck in Denuvo as a day one patch. It’d be funnier if it weren’t so upsetting that nothing will change and the game industry will keep chugging on.
I’ll agree that it’s a mental illness, but no more than being left handed or gay. Sure it’s a deviation from the statical “norm” but who does it harm and what does it matter? Let people conceptualize themselves however they like. Lots of “born again Christians” out there who talk about their relationship with an imaginary friend.
What does it matter to you how anyone perceive themselves or the world around them? They still deserve respect. You’re allowed to think whatever you want about others, but using what you perceive as illness as a reason to mock or belittle them then that’s just active cruelty. In your A or B scenario, both of those situations are someone deserves respect and that you yourself don’t need to concern yourself with. Who tf cares if they feel special? Good for them. If you wanna think them crazy, I mean… okay? Just don’t be shitty to 'em.
Besides, if you really want to get in to the philosophy of it. Where exactly is the “you” in your body? We are all a collection of living cells that are controlled by a not yet entirely determined part of thr brain. Sure parts of the brain can be damaged and that causes personality changes, but where the “you” in you truly resides is hard to say. Sounds like a swarm to me.
Essentilism is a philosophy use without realizing, but it is also a inherently immposible to prove concept, and saying “X is absolutely and only X” really doesn’t allow for the messiness that is the world, or the human experience. If they are happiest as a swarm. Well rock on!
Awww, I’m so happy for you Amelia! Happy and PROUD of you for working through your emotions and exploring what truly makes you happy!
So what should your newest girl buy herself to celebrate
Nail polish! If we are starting with first things first, then do something that will make you feel from your point of view. We spend our entire lives looking at our hands! Rings and jewelry for the same reason. The beauty of this is that it all comes off depending on where you are or how “out” you are going to be with people.
Liquid eyeliner and some basic “nude” eyeshadow pallets are also a great thing to start playing around with. Don’t get discouraged if it at first things don’t turn out the way you hope, just keep in mind that girls in middile school also have crappy makeup because they are using it for the first time too, it’s just a pure pratice thing. Start with aiming for a good cat eye, there are tools and stencils to make it easier. Most cashiers and strangers in the world look you in the eye initially, so if you can femme it up that will go a looooong ways to help with people understanding how you want to be treated.
To this end, if you can work up the courage to go a eyebrow place you’d be honestly shocked how much your face can change with a good arched brow. Doesn’t matter if you boy mode there, they won’t ask questions nor care, but they are also professionals so they will also know what you mean if you ask for a more “feminine look”.
Lastly, find some other trans women IRL, look around your area for a support group. These ladies will have so much more experince in your area, while also understanding completely where you are coming from. Online friends are great, but IRL ones are life savers! Now that you understand your dysphoria, it can sometimes get worse as your mind now knows exactly what to focus on, get some girlfriends to bitch about it with over drinks. I promise it’s a game changer!
I hope this helps! I remember my eye cracking as a scary confusing time too, but happier days of clarity are ahead! You did the hard part already, defeating the transphobe in your own head is always the first and hardest obstacles.
Once again, I’M SO PROUD OF YOU for getting to the end of these emotions instead of just repressing. Let us know when you have questions! ♥ 💕

As a woman who was single and dating, saying you don’t have a social media is a red flag. Best case scenario, you truly don’t and it’s probably from having some sort of arrogant judgement value about people who do, worst case, you have a spouce you are hiding from me.
Either way, not worth the risk. Like all the women I know feel the same. Sure it’s a historically newer redflag that didn’t exist 10-50 years ago, but neither was worrying about crypto gambling and manospehre BS. Modern problems require modern precautions.
