Rhinoplasty This Buccal Fat Removal That For Godssake Watch A Film Produced In A Country That Isn’t

“When you’re a trans woman you are made to walk this very fine line, where if you act feminine you are accused of being a parody and if you act masculine, it is seen as a sign of your true male identity. And if you act sweet and demure, you’re accused of reinforcing patriarchal ideas of female passivity, but if you stand up for your own rights and make your voice heard, then you are dismissed as wielding male privilege and entitlement. We trans women are made to teeter on this tightrope, not because we are transsexuals, but because we are women. This is the same double bind that forces teenage girls to negotiate their way between virgin and whore, that forces female politicians and business women to be aggressive without being seen as a bitch, and to be feminine enough not to emasculate their alpha male colleagues, without being so girly as to undermine their own authority.”

am I just supposed to move on from the fact that when Niall says Ronan he means knife or poison or revenge and when Declan says Ronan he means an insult and when Gansey says Ronan he means do you need help? and when Matthew says Ronan he means please but when Adam says Ronan he just means Ronan

I was meant to be a character in a low budget horror movie in 2005 wearing a short sleeved shirt over a long sleeved shirt to signify to the audience that I am an enjoyer of music

hi here's a booklist of contemporary poetry (ZLibrary, epubs + PDFs, free to download). already more than 100 books, but plan to add more as they become available + as i read them <3 enjoy!

the artists that draw our favorite characters laughing together in kitchens are the pillars of the world, carrying its weight from collapse.

We need to speak against the problems

a really great organization that i don't see any posts about here is HEAL palestine. it was founded by steve sosebee, who was a founding president of the PCRF before leaving in late 2023 to refocus his efforts on heal palestine to better meet the needs of palestinians impacted by the genocide. the organization provides palestinians in gaza with food, clean water, shelters, "makeshift classrooms," and even medical evacuation for some children when it's possible--their services are pretty wide.

you can donate here if you would like to send a tax-deductible donation to an organization. also, i don't think any evacuations are possible right now, but if you're in the united states and you'd like to welcome medically evacuated children in the future, i highly recommend signing up for their newsletter or following them on social media so you can stay updated in case any children evacuated by HEAL come to your area for treatment. welcoming these kids at the airport is a really moving way to provide them with moral support, entirely for free.

it’s just me and my barely charged phone against the world
