depicting trans men as feminine and even with breasts and curves is a test to see who is chill About your identity, and who becomes a raging bigot the minute they see a guy liking fem stuff.

so far, a majority of y'all passed the vibe check

i think it's funny I got compared to that trans captain America artist cuz I depict guys like myself.

people who think they're looking out for the wellbeing of marginalized people by shitting on expressions of gender identity that do not conform to society, are doing more damage than before.

Seems to be bunny in the trough Thursday

Never been so glad for it to be Thursday

my cat hates taking his pills. the only way we can get him to eat them is to turn it into an elaborate pantomime - we take the packet out of the cupboard slowly and hold it up, saying “oh!! what’s this? what’s this? a TREAT? a TREAT for louis????” while making surprised faces. we offer him a pill… then, before he has a chance to sniff it, we wag our fingers at him and replace it in the packet so it becomes a Tantalising Forbidden Mystery. we continue doing this until he’s so confused and excited that he will eat the pill as fast as possible, just so he can find out what it is before we can take it away from him again. as soon as he’s eaten it he looks utterly disappointed and betrayed, like a child who just ate a delicious sweet only to find it was a chocolate-coated brussels sprout. it never gets old

Op this is the funniest thing I’ve ever read

op how could you just hide this from me in the tag this makes this objectively 10000000% funnier

You trick Louis? You trick Louis like a common fool? Oh jail, jail for owners ONE MILLION YE-oh what’s this? A treat?

Little life advice:

Everyone who says not to set your stove clock or microwave clock because you won't use them and don't look at them anyway is lying.

Set them.

Because sometimes, you will come come from a week away when no one was in your home, and see the stove and microwave clocks blinking and go, "Oh shit, the power went out while I was gone, even though it's clearly back, which means every single thing in my fridge and freezer might have gotten room temperature and refrozen, and will give me food poisoning."

And it will be the only indication whatsoever not to eat it.

Anyway, just got back from the grocery store, but at least I don't have botulism.

This is one place where the coin test is also very nice!

Freeze a cup of water. Once it's frozen, put a coin on top of it. Leave it in your freezer forever. Check it every time you get something out of the freezer to make sure the coin has not sank. Put one in every freezer.

Sorry everyone I heard we needed more complex female characters so I took the "asshole with a heart of gold" and made her transition but now she doesn't hate being alive anymore so she's just a sweetheart who's kind of blunt but I'm gonna keep trying

Luckily the gruff father figure with vulnerability issues had other problems going on so she's mostly the same

The mad scientist is also happier now but her increased confidence isn't a good thing for anyone else involved so I'm counting this one as a success

Wish I could find the rest of this great cutaway diagram of the original Constitution-class U.S.S. Enterprise.

Though he tried hard to recall what he had learned about space rocks back in middle school, local man Jason Nieto reportedly forgot the difference between meteoroids and meteorites Thursday, struggling to describe what had just killed his dog. “God, I always forgot which one is the kind that actually hits the ground, if that’s even the difference, so I’m not sure what just crushed Churro,” said Nieto, explaining that the meteorite or meteoroid—or maybe asteroid, if that was a category including all of them—came streaking out of the clouds while he was walking his Pomeranian in the park.  Full Story

not that transphobes are ever saying anything interesting or insightful but it makes me insane when they see a trans woman who wants a uterus and start frothing out the mouth about how the sinister trans cabal is going to start harvesting organs from the poor and vulnerable... worsties do you have any idea how many trans men and cis women would be THRILLED to rehome their uterus to someone who actually wants it? all I'm doing with mine is complaining about it for a few days every month, I'd happily pawn that shit off to someone who would be happy about it. yes I am on my period why do you ask.

"Rehome": as if it's a hyperactive puppy and not an irreplaceable part of your body. Friendly reminder that humans are not Mr. Potato Head dolls whose parts can be swapped and customized.

brb calling my mom and telling her to go undo her hysterectomy and get the chronic pain back because she's not a Mr Potato Head

No @quasi_dilla has a point. You don't just give away a body part without serious consideration. If you decide to, it should be because you took the time to genuinely think about it and decide to do it. Joking about removing body parts is one thing but actually doing it could be life altering- for the better or worse- and should not be taken lightly.

okay?? are you under the impression people are doing impulsive uterus transplants at the mall on their lunch breaks???

It's called uterus not a uterME, they're supposed to be shareable, dummies

When somebody asks “How do I refer to a non binary person formally instead of sir or ma’am” and you answer “do not refer to me” that doesn’t answer their question actually

If you want the real answer it depends on the situation.

Instead of writing in a letter “dear sir or madame” you may write “to whom it may concern”

If you’re referring to a crowd saying “folks” or “honored guests” or “good people” or “hey kids” might all work depending on the situation.

When referring to a specific person it depends on their preference. They might have a doctorate or have some other title. In that case the choice is obvious. If not, Mx (pronounced like the word mix) is an option that exists and sort of widely used but it’s so new that even a non binary person might not know about it or might not like it. Using their full name might also be a way to show respect. “Our honored guest” or something like it also may be applicable in some very specific situations. In other situations just calling someone by their last name might be enough of a sign of respect like for a teacher or something.

A non binary person might just also be okay being called sir or ma’am depending on their preferences. I personally am okay with either mx or sir for example.
