realizing I could technically say “yeah my mother wanted a girl so she dressed me like a little girl” to explain my childhood photos and it would technically be correct and win me much more sympathy than just saying I’m trans

“you’re right it IS weird to force children to live as a gender they know they are not”

Yeah, but if you’re too young to consent to sex, you’re too young to consent to permanently altering your body, and disabling your entire reproductive system permanently.

I didn’t want hormones, I just wanted parents who loved me unconditionally, gave me the bare minimum in terms of respect and didn’t belittle me the way my peers did. Since the age of 6 I tried to communicate with them that I was uncomfortable with the gender I was assigned at birth. Before I knew trans people existed, before I understood gender-affirming medical care existed, I just knew myself and they ignored me and what I said.

hey so tumblr just added this thing (community labels) and by default ALL these category filters are set to remove anything labelled with these from your feed entirely (not just blurred).

Please remember to go into your settings and adjust them to what you prefer! if you’re under 18, you won’t be able to adjust them as they are set to Hide until you turn 18

this is what it looks like in settings (i have everything set to Show, the default is Hidden)

theyer old enough that they used to connect 

They’re older than Florida. The Floridian peninsula is the solidified runoff of the Appalachians that got caught on some coral. It’s why we’re like this, I think. You don’t stand a chance of being normal when you were created by the shed skin of an elder god draping itself over a hollow skeleton. You’re always going to be a little Off.

One of my favorite thing I’ve learned about animals studies is that you should avoid using colorful leg bands when you’re banding birds because you can accidentally completely skew the data because female birds prefer males with colorful bands

Apparently if you put a red band on a male red wing blackbird his harem size can double

So like you can completely frick up the natural reproduction of a group of birds by giving a guy a bracelet so stylish that females CANNOT resist him

Me, putting a red bracelet on the leg of a male red wing blackbird: ON GOD we gonna get u some pussy bro

I remember reading a study where researchers realized that female birds of a certain species preferred males with a darker breast. So they created what they literally called a “Super-Sexy Male” by catching a male and coloring his chest with a marker. They then ran dna tests on the eggs in the area.

Previously when the researchers had run these tests, they found a certain amount of infidelity was common for these birds. Somewhere around 10% of eggs were fathered by males who were not the primary mates of females.

After the advent of the Super Sexy Male, however, stuff got crazy in bird world. Infidelity skyrocketed, with upwards of 25% of ALL EGGS in the area being fathered by this specific male. Furthermore, his mate’s eggs were 100% his.

This is just insane to me. Just imagine you’re living your bird life when suddenly somebody scribbles on Dave’s chest and the ladies can’t stop throwing themselves at them. It’s stupid that we theoretically can wreck this kind of havoc on an ecosystem.

I read something a while ago that stuck with me. It was a person explaining how he shot off a couple rounds a few times a month so the rent stayed low. Ignoring the fact that homelessness is a compounding problem in the US and that ‘crime’ rates are rising. Ignoring all of that.

Could there be a social movement of people fighting to ungentrify their neighborhoods and cities? Start tagging, start loitering, start making it unappealing to move there. Maybe there are ‘gunshots’ a few times a month or a week. Like, it would need to be centered around community and caring for each other while still making it seem ‘unsafe’ and ‘dangerous’ to those wanting to move in.

I’m so blazed with pain rn I don;t want to think logistics but cmon this feels very punk

I don’t fucking know but 2,000 for fucking rent is unsustainable man. It should be in the fucking 800′s not this bullshit
