WHAT

day 1 at the communal puzzle club: i see a puzzle with a sign next to it that says "please help with our communal puzzle" and i say to myself "don't mind if I do" and did the whole thing

i know we hear this a lot with gender, "don't date someone who doesn't accept your gender", but this goes for you too intersex people.

don't date someone who isn't okay with your body.

• if you have atypical genitalia and they don't like it/wanna push you to get surgery/you can't have non painful sex and they push anyways/etc, dump them. you don't deserve that

• if you have hormonal intersex traits and they want you to go onto hormones because it'd "be better for you" or "make you look more normal", dump them. that's your decision not theirs.

• if they're pushy about how you label yourself/your experiences, dump them.

etc etc etc

you don't deserve to be in a relationship where someone wants to forcibly push you into a sex binary or erase your intersexuality. i promise you there are better people out there. you aren't lucky they are dating you 'in spite of' your intersex traits, there are people out there who will love you FOR your intersex traits. FOR your identity, FOR WHO YOU ARE. Don't accept mediocrity because you are just trying to make the relationship last or just want to be loved or whatever it is. you are intersex, and if they cannot accept that, are disgusted by that, want to hide that, etc, leave them. you will only harm yourself by being with someone who doesn't care about your best intersests.

really confused here because i am primarily an english speaker and i pronounce it yow-ee but i ALSO speak japanese, and knowing how to pronounce the word in japanese, yow-ee seems like a perfectly fine anglicization of the word and yah-oi does not. i feel like separating all the vowels (ya-oh-ee) is the closest to whats "correct" but that just sounds really awkward in american english

Completely unrelated to my blog content but I have to settle a dispute between my partner system and I.

Here’s the little disagreement under the cut:

My psys insisted that it was pronounced “yow-ee” and when corrected, then said that the way I pronounce it (the Japanese pronunciation—“yah-oy” or “ya-oh-ee” and the correct one) isn’t the way she has always heard English speakers say it. I’ve never Ever heard it pronounced like this, even among those that don’t speak Japanese. I’m curious if it just happened to be her friend groups or if this is as widespread as she says!

One of the best things you can do when cooking for yourself is to always double the portions in a recipe so you have leftovers for when you don’t feel like cooking. One of the worst things you can do is trying to fuck the garbage disposal.

"to smithereens" is one of the worst things to be blown to. right up there with weezer

the thing with me is that ive seen over 30 film adaptations of dracula and therefore Should be a great person to ask for recommendations when it comes to film adaptations of dracula, but the thing with me is that my standards are well below sea level and my taste in movies is insane so if you ask me which dracula you should watch the first one ill suggest is a movie made on a literal $1500 budget thats so faithful to the book its borderline unwatchable and the second one ill suggest is the insane pakistani version which has absolutely dick to do with the book and features multiple musical numbers, a car chase, and an inexplicable scientist origin story. if neither of these suffice then i have to bust out my graph upon which ive documented everything from coppolas travesty to the porno
