Because The Sun.
I cannot believe how many peiple do not know this. So! I am going to educate people.
Every time the Earth orbits around the Sun, that is one year. Hopefully everyone knows that. But, the Earth turns on a tilt from its orbit. That tilt causes the sun to shine differently on the planet at different times of the year, which causes the seasons. This is why when it is Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
This also means that there will be longest and shortest days of the year, which are called Solstices, and times when the day and night will be equal, called Equinoxes. Astrologically, the seasons start at those dates. However, those do not line up with a calendar nicely at all.
I also personally question why we do it that way, rather than the half way points between the equinox and solstice, as that would line up much better with what we think of the seasons, and would put it on the first of months.
Spring would start February 1st, Summer would start May 1st, Fall would start August 1st, and winter would start November 1st. But I digress
AMERICA WHAT THE FUCK???? WHY ARE THEY LIKE.. HALF WAY THROUGH THE MONTH WHAT
Ah, well shit. This is gonna hit me in the face aint it?
okay i just read an INCREDIBLE apocalyptic/supernatural/religious horror novel with a trans gay male protagonist and incredible portrayals of religious trauma, body horror, and reclamation of your identity being seen as like, screwed up and disgusting. i know this isn’t the kind of thing you usually post about but it’s such a good damn book i had to recommend it. it’s called Hell Followed With Us by andrew joseph white. it made me sob at so many parts and it depicts found family queerness so well and has a canon autistic character and AUUUUHHHHHH it’s so good. if anyone wants to read it there’s a copy up on OceanOfPdf !!
That sounds awesome!!!
Here's the description from the author's website:
Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him—the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world’s population. Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can’t get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with. But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC’s leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret: the cult’s bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all. Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong, Benji accepts Nick’s terms…until he discovers the ALC’s mysterious leader has a hidden agenda, and more than a few secrets of his own.
Also look at this gorgeous cover:
The Villainous Tarot project is officially off the ground! It is a fan based project that will create a deck of tarot cards, and donate all proceeds to the Trevor Project. If you are an artist please check this out. It is a great opportunity to show off what you can do while raising money for a great cause. If you are not, and still want to find out what all the hype is about, come on over and see what we are doing! Also, if people could pass this along, that would be excellent!
God, I have been struggling so much with my trans identity recently. I dont even know what I want anymore. Am I simply GNC? Am I full transmasc? I started this because what I had would have wound up with me dead, but now that I've started and started to feel better, I just dont know what the hell to do next? And what if whatever I decide to do makes me feel worse?
Yeah, just been strugglin a lot
Oh no, it wpuld be horrible if anyone tried this. No sir, absolutely not. It would be a shame if this got reblogged again and again. Whoops my hand slipped. Oh no. Into the empty void of the internet it goes!
i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
Im sorry, WHAT?! OH GOD OK.
I ... this could go good, this could go bad. Also, shouldn't he be like ... 8 at max?
Assuming the battle of Lothal took place arpund Rogue 1 and or just before the battle of Yavin. Endor took place 4 ABY and mando was 5 years after that. Assuming maybe a year has taken place between the start of Mando and the start of Ahsoka, and assuming Twileks have a similar gestation period to humans. Hes like 9 max.
WHAT IS A 9 YEAR OLD DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF A POSSIBLE WAR?
Also, mad respect, because that means Hera did the rebellion PREGNANT and a MOM TO A NEWBORN, which ... damn girl mad fuckin respect.

reblog to violently explode a trans kid’s transphobic teacher
Fuck yeah! Genuinely keep forgetting that and trying to force myself into a box that never fit and will never fit.
Be unapologetically you. Anyone who judges you for the pieces of cloth wrapped around your fleshy form, or the ink you've put beneath your skin, or the medicine you take to exist as yourself, can wallow in the shallow pools they have confined themselves to.
Shoutout to butch/masc trans women you don’t owe anyone femininity
Shoutout to feminine trans men you don’t owe anyone masculinity
Shoutout to non binary people you don’t owe anyone gender conformity (and should be allowed to commit tax fraud)
Seriously. DONT DONATE TO THE SALVATION ARMY. They are horrible to anyone who is not Straight, Cis, and Neurotypical.
Actively stay away from them.
DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY
This is my main tumblr. It's going to be filled with random things that are cool. This includes technology, space, some fandom stuff, and sometimes PSA's. Have fun, and maybe find something new.
