when youre a narrator and the only 2 lives you get the joy to narrate are of an orange corpse and a creature properly unknown to humankind.

Kinda random but would you happen to know of any stories/headcanons or such for like the modern werewolf concept? Like non edgy lone wolves and definitely not that alpha bs. More tight-knit packs and funny hijinks when a person turns or them actually enjoying being a woofer.

Idk if this makes any sense but I hope you get what I mean

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at. Most of the werewoofers in my masterlists (bar, like, Rhett) are quite sociable, and I know that a lot of @momolady's werewolves in her Hearthway Hollow universe are like that. Definitely check her masterlist out (it's linked in her pinned post, I believe).

If I may plug a personal fav of mine, though he's definitely a bit of a loner, but he's a sweetheart who has three goofball wolf-dogs too, I might suggest you try my Gabe & Odessa story (this still needs a good title omg). It's where the illustration by @snowkissedmonsters at the top of my blog comes from, and while we're on the subject, check out her Candy and the Wolves posts because they're great too!!

Feel free to add ideas into the notes/reblogs, folks!

cowabunga. do you perhaps know where a fine anon could find rodneys lyrics. im trying to explain rotter to my gc and would love to have lyrics as backup. if not ill crack my knuckles dig through the trenches and do it myself

HAHAHAHHA god i love you anon. i’ll have to go scan the cd lyrics HOWEVER. and this may actually be more damning than anything else, but the most 👀 lyrics are actually excluded from the booklet for some reason. for the most part the rodneys is a pretty typical shitty gross-out 90s toilet punk band but with the extra flavour of ray toro riffs and a really fkn good bassist, but then the album ends with emerge (already at the title like Okay.....what are you as a man emerging from. the closet?). it’s probably the best song on the album and it’s ostensibly about rising above groupthink and thinking for yourself as an individual, though it manages to shoehorn "you’re gonna beat me to save face/that’s the thinking of a jock/why don't you just suck my cock" in there. then there’s a sick guitar solo and after that (maybe it’s meant to be a hidden track, idk) comes the unwritten lyrics, which i'll do my best to transcribe here. ahem.

Is it wrong to love a man Even though I don't know you're a man? Well what the heck... I love you Boba.... [unintelligible]

Yo, QUIT THAT MF JOB IF IT’S GOT A KNEE IN YOUR NECK.

I found this card in my belongings as I pack up to leave this toxic ass job and …

I had placed it between the pages of my notebook weeks before when I was at my total lowest, weeping daily in my cubicle silently or in the mall parking lot at night, and just desperately seeking a new job opportunity.

Today I found it while packing my shit. ONE DAY AWAY FROM BEING FREE OF THIS JOB… and I almost wept.

Yo, QUIT THAT MF JOB IF IT’S GOT A KNEE IN YOUR NECK.

Do not let corporate America break you.

Your health and happiness are not worth it if you are reaching a dark place where life seems meaningless.

Please know your limits and ease yourself there if you have even a glimmer of hope that you can string together your next lifeline. Believe in yourself and work hard and chose you if you can. If it’s between staying and your health? Please choose you. I’d choose you. Every fucking time.

The job market is full of kind smart helpful people who will reach back to you if you reach out. Get active, meet people, go to events, talk to that stranger, put yourself out there! You’re wonderful and interesting and so valuable to our society.

Practice self love this weekend and continue to chose you in small and big ways, because you deserve that.

Reblog to share incase someone’s waiting on a fucking sign to quit their own toxic job like I was… because my own mental and physical health decline weren’t enough of a red flag 🚩 🤡 😛 but 🤭it do be that way sometimes

Today at work I saw a guy who looked just like you except he was short and had hair

He sounds hot did you kiss him??

Howdy to my fave cowgirl!!! Yeehaw!!! 🤠🖤

if you dont love me at my: then you don't deserve me at my:

At the anon sending in, thank you so much! I just can't publish it because of the anti reasons I mentioned, but I am glad to see that the community cherishes me ^^

oh god shut up. you didn't even know the damn kid.

"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe, and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality." — James Baldwin

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

Hi, sticker anon again. I was meaning the aesthetic style ones, specifically flowers and moon/star ones? Thanks

As far as I remember, I've got a lot of stickers from these shops

StickyBeeStationery on Etsy

FolkPaper on Etsy

Hope that helps? If not, lemme know and I'll try and find which ones you're looking for!

frankly, the people whose kneejerk reaction to bisan asking for a global strike form the 21st-28th is to say that it takes years to organize a general strike are really unhelpful! no one is saying otherwise, but palestine will be a smoking crater if we all wait for years to do anything - bisan is asking us to do something now. Like are we only supposed to do something if we can do it perfectly??? At some point it’s a valid critique about the work that goes into social movement, and at another point I feel like some people are just trying to absolve themselves from not putting any effort into observing a week of economic inaction.

like idk! I get it, okay! People have bills to pay that don’t magically go away for a strike, we don’t have nearly enough social infrastructure in place to support people to fully stop going to work for a week. But fuck, dude! Stop immediately responding in such a defeatist way! Cut out unnecessary purchases! Try to shop local! Put more effort into promoting Palestinian voices online! Attend a protest, call a local rep, do something!

people with siblings: how do you feel about them?

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

if i see a single one of you pissed that your faves canceled an event or a con appearance because they're striking for fair wages then imma come for you in your sleep 🔪🔪🔪
