Best Ways to Explain Your Transition
I accidentally walked in on the goddess Artemis bathing. It was this or get turned into a deer and devoured by my own hounds.
You know castration anxiety and penis envy? I've got, like, the opposite of both of those.
I seriously misinterpreted Valorie Solanas.
I took the red pill without researching what the Wachowskis actually meant by that.
I fell in love with a lesbian.
I asked a genie for the love of a woman (at least now I've got better self-esteem).
I got kicked out of Boy Scouts.
Method acting.
Draft dodging.
There are so many better cosplay options this way.
Soy addict.
What? No, I've always been like this. Are you feeling okay? Hold on, I'll call a doctor.

On this memorial day I'd like to memorialize my father-in-law. He's not dead or anything, he was just jailed for conscientiously objecting to and dodging the Vietnam draft, and I just think that's neat 🇺🇲🇺🇲

Independence Day

When issuing diplomas, colleges in Ingushetia now require graduates to sign a summons to the army or refuse to accept the conscription notice and face possible administrative and criminal charges, Fortanga was told by a source close to one college.
“To get a diploma, you need to sign a conscription…

So my Favorite Part in the book is one little scene near the very end, i don't remember exactly where, but Ponyboy pulls a broken pop bottle on some socs who try to fuck with him because the kid is just sick and tired of being fucked with ig. who can blame him, right?
anyway the socs peace the fuck out bc Pony meant Business and they could tell. Then Two-bit appears from stage left (he was right behind him with Steve ready to back Pony up) and is understandably kind of freaked out. Pony is changing and I imagine it's kinda scary that the baby of the gang is growing up BUT-
Pony starts picking up the glass and it's just? Two-bit is relieved and Pony doesn't get it but it's fine. The important parts of Pony are still there, even if he's getting a little rougher around the edges. He's staying Gold, but he's also getting wise to the world. Both Johnny and Dally kinda got what they wanted, even if it's still really unfair, and Ponyboy is gonna be okay.

i think one of the reasons i find rick so compelling as an autistic character is that a bunch of his autistic traits are not treated as either purely good or bad but instead a mix of both. or just neutral parts of him as a person.
like on one hand his tendency to hyperfixate on things heavily contributes to his creativity and problem solving when it comes to his inventions and schemes. but he also often gets far too carried away and it ends up causing issues later down the line (eg: gotron)
like its very refreshing to see a character whose autistic traits arent … mutually exclusive. it makes him feel more real and less like a caricature
#was gonna type up a draft and go to sleep but i did the whole thing so. here u go#onlu one example tho bc im soooooo slleepy#u understand tho…. it wld be very easy for him to fall into the savant trope but he dodges it veryyyy nicely#hes a genius but he also constantly mskes terrible rash decisions.#hes blunt and rude and kinda unempathetic. but he also has a LOT of love. and he loves puns and sarcasm. u know#idk. im so tired i just love rick. canon autism winnnn (worst guy youve ever met)

Tim: Oh no! There's TWO Casses!
Steph, excited: Wow!
Tim: Steph, this is a bad thing. One of them is an imposter.
Steph: Oh yeah.
Duke with a gun: How do we know which one is the fake?
One Cass, pointing at the other Cass: Shoot her! She's the imposter!
*everyone immediately shoots the Cass who spoke*
Damian: You idiot, giving yourself away like that. Cassandra would NEVER pass up the opportunity to die!
Cass:
Cass: Is that really how you guys see me?
Everyone else: Yes.
#batfam#batfamily#cassandra cain#tim drake#stephanie brown#duke thomas#damian wayne#to be honest since cass can dodge bullets they could shoot at both of them#and the one who gets hit is the imposter (probably)#now to be fair she's not literally so eager to die she would jump at any chance to do so#but cass having a death wish is an integral part of her character#like it was straight up part of her character pitch. her wanting to die for her sins is baked into her very being#...if anyone cares this is not inspired by my earlier post about cass being in three places at once#this has been sitting in my drafts for a month

voltron fans must have said 'ok thats enough fandom for me' and retired tumblr the way we're getting our ass beat against a duo WHO ISNT EVEN RED AND BLUE
voltron fans used to go to war.

not to be a stick in the mud but draft dodging is the literal least u can do imo it's basically a non action when the alternative is committing war crimes for western imperialist interests like forgive me for not thinking much of ppl who did the bare minimum? like idk the way (white) leftists talk abt draft dodgers as almost mythical heroes who heroically defied totalitarian regimes is kinda laughable tbh when i have visited my immediate family members' graves who died actually doing that.
#i keep seeing ppl make posts abt the vietnam war and sometimes in connection w the genocide happening in gaza rn and....#it's so stupid. idk what else to say but draft dodging even if it gets u idk thrown in jail (at worst) it will NEVER compare to#living in terror and being systematically wiped out idk idk idk!!#ling.txt

How Russians Are Forcibly Conscripted
“Summer in Petersburg”: photo by Marina Varchenko
The Russian security forces have been increasingly organizing dragnets to sweep up potential army recruits. This is occurring amidst a full-scale war with Ukraine in which the Russian army has suffered heavy losses.
There are more and more accounts of these roundups. Mediazona, for example, details how a 25-year-old Muscovite, employed in the IT…

i had a friend over to watch the skills comp so i wasn't liveblogging or even looking at tumblr really but all that means is that i'm going to subject all my friends and followers to my disjointed thoughts at 12:30 am instead
did we really all agree that the 2023 skills competition was so bad that it needed to be remade from the ground up?
like i definitely had notes (especially as an in-person spectator for that one) but like. it wasn't that bad? i had fun?
i'm not fundamentally opposed to some of the stuff that was going on with this concept, like having an overall winner of the whole thing with a prize
it was a bummer to not get to see my Guy from my Team show off his skills at all!
really missed having the benches with all the players and some of their kids milling around getting up to shenanigans
how am i supposed to write fanfiction where they plan their post-comp hookups now, nhl
the classics are solid (fastest skater, hardest shot, accuracy shooting) and i love an obstacle course event, but too many of the events were too similar (specifically the passing one, the stickhandling one, and the obstacle course)
really felt the lack of any events with any reward for flair or creativity. i've always really liked the breakaway challenge but even if you want to move away from that i feel like there's options. trick shot competition maybe? get ea to sponsor a video game moves type thing?
also no real sense of local connection at all! couldn't they have leaned in to the ~history stuff and made select players stickhandle or take shots with old fashioned sticks or some kind of like, oh old school hockey type thing?
watching the stickhandling event and seeing quinn be the only person who actually skated backward competently during the skating backward section has me like ... skating skill event?
death, taxes, and leon sucking absolute balls at accuracy shooting
cannot stress enough how much i missed getting to see even a modicum of personality and creativity from the players. i know they don't all have a lot of it but just having something to break up the onslaught of timed events is nice
connor mcdavid winning the mcdavid by connor mcdavid for connor by connor mcdavid skills competition is so predictable
they should've given the $1m to the singer who wore his daniel alfredsson jersey and his sens logo pants
#asg 2024#hockey#i also keep thinking that instead of cowardly dodging having a last pick in the draft#the last pick in the draft should be able to assign one (1) competitor in the skills competition a handicap for one event#pvp mode enabled
