The reason fujoshi Discourse pisses me off is because… I studied the lesbian sex wars.
Radical feminists these days absolutely love butches, because they see butches as the last bastion of Twoo Lesbianism against the twin approaching cancers of The Trans and The Bis.
But back in the 80s?
Butches and femmes were “aping heterosexuality.” At worst, they held to patriarchal values and took sick pride in it because all they cared about was sex; at best, they were damaged lesbians imprinted on and scarred by heterosexism, unable to fully free themselves from sexual and relationship roles grounded in masculinity and femininity, both of which were nothing more than toxic tools of social control.
Maybe it’s just that I’m old (though I was a wee bean in the 80s), but… why is it so weird to you that when I see young trans men going “a comic about an uke is a personal affront to me,” all I can think is “here we go again” and “don’t you realize the people who came up with anti-role bs are the same people who’d hate you on principle for taking t?”
everyone needs to see this video at least once in their life
I think my favorite thing about dogs is that they can, in fact, perceive the tone/mood of music, just as they can with human voices.
I think the best part about this is that there was an actual academic study done to find out what music dogs preferred, they set it up by kenneling dogs and figuring out which kind of music caused them to be more relaxed in the situation, and they found out that most dogs prefer soft rock and reggae.
He probably really digs it.
lookit the little head bob, pupper is definitely jammin
NPR is talking about how “cops should be able to take people in if they show mental health problems.”
People are actively suggesting we criminalize mental illness. This is where your bullshit narrative of painting this as a mental health problem gets us.
Cops kill people with mental illness. So yay, thanks for that target on our backs.
This attitude ruins lives.
I have a tic disorder that causes me to move or vocalize in a way that makes me look Very Crazy and when my disability gets bad I literally cannot be in public without an escort because Concerned People can and will behave violently towards me. I have been locked up because people were ~concerned~ before.
And yeah… getting assaulted or killed by a cop is a very real worry of mine.
So fuck this noise and fuck the people commenting on this thread talking about how we’re not talking about ~actually~ criminalizing madness because, buddy, I already live that life. The only difference between a locked ward and a prison is that a nurse gets paid more than a prison guard.
I got detained for “weird behavior” once. Pulling bark off a tree on public property because it relaxes me when I’m stressed. These two cops pulled up and nearly drew their guns to shoot me because I reflexively reached for my phone to record them. They took my ID to check me for criminal history and asked me a bunch of questions about if I was gonna hurt myself or others. Then they gave me my ID back and told me I wasn’t technically doing anything illegal but I was making people uncomfortable.
I almost fucking died when I wasn’t even breaking the law because people are TERRIFIED of the mentally ill. Now whenever I’m in public and a stranger asks me if I’m okay I have a goddamn panic attack because I’m afraid they’ll call the cops on me again and maybe this time they actually will kill me.
when my cat got deadly sick she refused to eat a single thing and it had been days but when i started crying she ate just a little bit, and upon seeing how happy it made me, kept doing it whenever she could.
now whenever im sad or crying she finds wherever i am with a mouthful of food and eats the pieces one by one, every time looking up at me making sure i was watching her eat it all because she knew it made me happy. and it DOES make me happy
i love cats!!!
im so glad my little Foofy has touched everyone’s hearts… she luvs you all
Honestly, if you think cats are evil and don’t love their people, you probably don’t belong here.
Hi. I’m the creator of @bukbot and @writingpromptsbot. Both I and my partner @rumpelstiltskinix are disabled, and both our healths are taking a great toll without our car. We live in a small town in upstate New York, and public transportation is abysmal here.
About a month ago, our car was totaled by an icicle falling from our neighbor’s house. The windshield and hood were smashed, and the engine now puts out so much carbon monoxide that we get sick just from standing near it when it’s on. If you’re more of a visual learner, what that looks like is this:
The good news is, the neighbor’s landlord is a millionaire. The bad news is, unsurprisingly, he’s a millionaire by means of stomping on everyone else. He has refused to file a claim with his insurance, claiming it was not his responsibility, even though the high court rulings in New York are explicit and plentiful in holding that it is the property owner’s responsibility to take care of icicles lest they kill someone (which has happened) or in our case, destroy property. To quote one of the court rulings:
“He … is responsible for all damages if the shape of his roof is such as to throw them upon his neighbor’s land, in the same manner as he would be if he threw them there himself.”
Davis v. Niagara Falls Tower Co. 171 N.Y. 336 (1902).
Which is to say, the chances of not getting the money eventually are about the same chances as a judge ruling against a Supreme Court ruling.
Barring catastrophic miscarriage of justice, we will get the money. Just… not any time soon.
We have been dealing with this guy’s devastation of our car since January 11th, 2018. After poisoning ourselves via a carbon monoxide leak driving it to a mechanic’s, we’ve had to walk long distances and limit trips to what few taxis we can afford. Both our healths are on rapid decline from this. One of us has temperature regulation problems and extreme hypoglycemia which isn’t scheduled to be addressed by a doctor until May, and which is made much worse by exercise in the cold; the other has spinal and leg injuries from falling through a ceiling and has to use a cane. Needless to say, walking on ice for miles has been bad news for both of us.
We are desperate. We are hoping to be able to raise $1,500 for a new car, which we can pay back once we finally get the money we are owed. Right now, the guy has 21+ days from when everyone gets the court date (any day now) to resolve it privately (which he most likely won’t; he did not respond to our letter). From there, we’re hoping we can find out what bank he uses from our neighbors for quick disbursement – the total he would be paying is less than 25% of his rental income for one month alone (he also runs an HVAC business).
