Pardon me, but the words 'adult human female' being used to describe the term woman isn't transphobic, right? I'm new to the whole trans thing, saw some TERFS saying it, wanted to check with you because you're gay and trans and you've got lgbtq followers. No offense meant
It's not about the words themselves, individually, it's about how they're used. Going out of your way to say "adult human female" instead of just saying "woman" is weird, and someone going out of their way to say that is doing it as a dogwhistle, to let other terfs know that they're in the same little club.
It's not the words, but how they are used. Let's take the word "humanoid". It's a perfectly regular, neutral word for describing anything that appears human. It wouldn't be insulting to describe a human being as being humanoid. But if you find someone consistently saying "humanoid" instead of "person", you would want to check on which people they don't think are actually people.
A 16 year old Roma boy was shot in the head over a $20 gas bill by Greek police officers. The teenager filled up his vehicle with $20 (£17) of petrol and then left. CCTV released on Tuesday revealed that four policemen were inside the petrol station at the time.
The officer fired two shots at the 16-year-old Roma boy in the second biggest city Thessaloniki.
According to the Council of Europe, the Roma (Gypsies) are Greece's biggest minority and number some 270,000, mostly living in makeshift accommodation.
HE IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
THE VIOLENCE NEEDS TO STOP.

i know your blog says finnish grammar but honestly I have no idea who else to ask. If I wanted to learn more about Finnish mythology, what's a good place to start? I'm specifically trying to learn about Tellervo if you could help me out there.
Thanks so much :)
Sadly, there's very little sources even in finnish about finnish mythology. The christians spent over a thousand years painstakingly scrubbing out any trace or knowledge of The Old Pagan Habits of the common people, so everything that's left is a fraction of a fraction of a remnant of a trace. Researchers specialising in finnish mythology have occasionally resorted to comparing their sources with the mythologies of other peoples of common ancestry, such as Estonians, to see if there are similarities and which old details and traits were probably shared and original.
The finns didn't have a written language before the 1500s, and the first finns who could read and write in their own native languages were priests, determined to teach christian teachings to the peasants in their own language. Figuring out what old finnish folklore and mythology was really like is a lot like figuring out what dinosaurs looked like. The best we can do is look at the traces that remain and make educated guesses about it.
“Free Palestine. Genocide is not welcome here. You have blood on your hands.”
Pro-Palestine activists confronted the Israeli ambassador to South Korea, Rafael Harpaz, whilst he was having dinner at a restaurant in Seoul.
All Zionists should be treated like this. No place for genocidal ghouls. Kick them out!

hello friend, i've added ur fundraiser to my linktree - even if i can't donate right now i know someone out there can.
this. im so sick of it ppl hearing ab how i grew up with two somewhat-upper-middle-class parents and how everything was paid for and assuming that that meant my childhood was trauma-free. first off, i fucking didn't - i had to move away from my biological mother and my siblings when i was young. yes i understand my situation was much better than most of my friends' growing up, yes i understand that my life would be much different than right now if my stepmother had not adopted me, yes i understand the volume of opportunities for me now vs the opportunities i may have had if i had stayed in brasil - but you dont seem to understand that there's more to parenting than material coverage. i shouldn't have to go in depth about the emotional and psychological neglect and abuse i experienced in that household to some random person who tells me how lucky i am to have lived with someone who has the biggest white savior complex i've ever seen in my life. even my fucking father shames me for this, talm bout "we only have so much time on this earth for you to come around" well maybe i never will come around papai how about that?? maybe you'll never get back that relationship we had because u refuse to acknowledge the bullshit ur wife put me through - ur only son, ur blood.
if im not gonna take that shit from my father what the hell do u think im gonna say to u?
my rants to My Lord that i dont have anyone else to talk to about. rhet. comp. and literary studies grad, TA for creative writing and history
