I figure this is a good a day as any to reiterate: you are not going to understand the identities of everyone you meet.

No matter how accepting you are, no matter how open to new experiences you are, no matter how much research you do or how many people you talk to- in the end, there’s always going to be something you can’t wrap your mind around.

That’s okay.

There’s nothing wrong with trying to understand. I think you should always make a gesture at understanding, at least.

But at a certain point, you might just have to accept that you don’t “get” it- and probably never will. You don’t need to understand the way another person lives in order to respect that experience. You can respect identities you don’t understand, or that go against how you view the world.

Not everyone craves your understanding. Not everyone wants to explain their identity in such a way as to guide your understanding. Not everyone’s identities will be something you’re capable of understanding.

Don’t withhold acceptance and validation of other people’s experience based on your own inability to comprehend them.

Everybody do the wenis!

I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.

If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?

Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.

cashier: ok that'll be $20

me (visibly sweating): ah, yes, of course! a perfectly reasonable price for a grilled cheese and a small smoothie! that was exactly the price i expected you to say when i ordered a single grilled cheese and a smoothie and my vision is NOT getting blurry as we speak! i am a perfectly normal temperature and my speech patterns are natural and even because this is the countenance of an individual who expected to pay 20 american dollars for a single grilled cheese and a smoothie!

cashier: where's all that blood coming from

the best trope in media is: “characters turn on the lights, see the monster, and immediately turn the lights back off”

you ever get surprised by your own recurring issues. like come on man. I thought we were past this.

btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.

we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.

don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend.
