Also say it with me now: Ryan and Shane are not rich. Before the 2000'z, the average middle class US american would be able to afford a home, two cars, and a 1 or 2 vacations trips. Almost no body in america can reach that nowadays. You're either hitting the bar (barely grazing), trying to hit it but never getting to, or you were born above the bar. Ryan lived with two room mates until a year go where he now lives in an apartment with his wife and dog in LA. He's in his early thirties. Shane Madej is nearing forty and lives in an apartment in LA with his wife, owns one self proclaimed shitty car. These men aren't fucking Jeff Bezos. You're closer to them in income than they are to Taylor Swift. Which in other words, closer than not. We are not being taken advantage of. Capitalism just sucks. Piracy still exists. And you're a bad ass bitch okay? So lets all chill

And when you ask anyone to just be a little more inclusive it's suddenly "WE WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT TRANS MEN WHEN WE SAID ALL MEN!!!!" like they didn't just out themselves as not seeing trans men as men.

im actually so tired of trans men being so completely left out if the convo abt reproductive rights

pros to finishing a show:

cons to finishing a show

No more show..

tumblr staff really like pictures of grass

should we be concerned?

I feel like people forget most trans guys still had to grow up as girls.

We were still forced to be mature early

We were still told to not to take up space

We were still subject to female beauty standards

Our bodies were still treated as inappropriate

We were still pitted against each other

We were still excluded from “male” activities

We were still treated as lesser the boys

Those things don’t evaporate once we transition they’re fucking internalized. I constantly have to remind myself I’m allowed to exist. We don’t stop dealing with misogyny.

I think what the biggest kick in the teeth is with the watcher announcement- at least for me- is knowing that they are NOT Netflix OR Hulu. they do not have enough content to hold an entire streaming service on their back. I get why they’re doing it and that just worries me more. They’re trying to make more money to support their growing company but they just aren’t Dropout, Netflix, or Hulu. With the big buck streaming services, they have enough content beyond their original series to keep people watching (ignoring the fact that most big boy services have needed to switch gears in their monetization to keep going) but watcher does not have that. in order for this change to work even remotely on their end, they’d need to kick into high gear and make more content. Like fast. Someone else pointed out that they’ve got a “two episode per month” schedule and that absolutely will not work for a streaming service. and of course everything I’ve mentioned is on their end, not even taking into consideration how many people are very visibly angry by this. What happens when they don’t have enough people sign up? 

what a kick in the pants.

From sketch to final product, here’s Emilio! He can harness solar radiation through a totem sewn into his skin! Also the wings are a bonus. :)

I had to break this to a close friend of mine recently but I worry that this sort of information needs to be more widespread, especially since we’re still coming off the popularity of “Don’t ever trauma dump on me! If you say anything about what you’re going through ever it’s trauma dumping!!!” And it’s equal and opposite reaction of “actually you must be there for your friends no matter what or you’re a bad friend and trauma cannot ever be weaponized that never happens you’re lying.”

You are not your friend’s therapist. You can be there for them, provide support, be a shoulder to cry on, but you are not and should not attempt to be a friend’s sole source of healing their mental health issues. Bad advice often does more harm than good, and you are not a licensed professional who is equipped with the knowledge of how to help.

I’m not saying abandon your friends, I’m speaking from the position of someone whose bad, damaging, habits were enabled by a friend who thought that watching psych101 videos meant they were qualified to heal me.
