This is important and everyone should know about it. Ajit Pai is an unapologetic piece of shit and he needs to be opposed at every turn. Signal boost.
democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality.
advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of
congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more
likely to take action to stop Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality. after
Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.
hey guys, please reblog this version and don’t forget to call!!! if you are nervous about calling, you can use resistbot to send faxes to your reps and thestance appto pre-record your message so you won’t have to speak to anyone. (available in both google play and app store)
My favourite pictures of me with the AAA Girls. Hopefully at some point I can get one with all of them.
(Observations: Courtney and I discussed misogyny and she was delightful. Alaska is my whole heart and I am eternally honoured that she wore the bow I made her. Willam’s thighs are the most toned I’ve ever felt.)
Hi, hello, I’m commemorating 10 years of sex blogging with the most extravagant sex toy giveaway I’ve ever done. I’m giving away 80+ of the best sex toys ever made, as judged by my discerning vagina. Then, because that wasn’t enough, there’s a grand prize pack of my very favorite products worth over $1,000 — with 10 runners-up. SO MANY WINNERS.
Peeps, I’ve got everything here from vibrators to dildos to butt stuff to penis toys to harnesses to gender products and BDSMimplements, plus giftcards for the indecisive and a porn membership for the pervs! There are even a bunch of “winner’s choice” prizes. Most of these prizes are valued at or over $100, and more than half are available to international folks!
So I’m a phlebotomist. And sometimes, I work at a site that is directly adjacent to an endocrinologist. Which means I see and take blood from a lot of folks that are trans, or nonbinary, or gender nonconforming.
Do you have any fucking idea how easy it is, in customer-service speak, to respect someone’s gender?
I mean, I’ve had super awkward situations where I have to say things like ‘I’m sorry, that name isn’t coming up in our system. Is there another name…“ And without fail they provide their deadname and I plug it in and I say ‘Ok, that came up, do you want me to fix that in our system?” And they say ‘Yes’ and then I ADD IT AS A SYNOMYMOUS NAME. Same as I would for someone recently married or divorced. The end.
I have never experienced a situation in which I have felt motivated to ask someone’s pronouns.
I have had situations in which I have thought to myself ‘I have no idea if this person is ‘sir’ or ‘ma'am’ and instead have gone ‘Next patient please?’ or ‘I can help who’s next’ or ‘I can help you now’ while looking directly at them.
I have had situations where I’ve gone ‘I’m like 90% certain that I’ve been given a record with this person’s deadname because this name does not match at all the gender presentation of the person I’m looking at’ And I say ‘Ok, can you spell your last name for me? Ok, spell your first name? And your date of birth?’
and then I quietly write ‘preferred name [the name they just spelled] on the top of thier record.
THIS IS NOT HARD.
And if this is not hard for me, as a person working in medicine who has to make certain that the person I’m talking to is the same person on the medical record that I’m looking up, how much easier must it be for, say, a barista who doesn’t give half a fuck who you are? I’ve BEEN a barista in the past. If a Barista is asking your pronouns, that person is an asshole.
who can guess what all of these characters have in common ?
it has come to my attention that this list has been missing a few characters so in addition -
These two are ugly and don’t belong
Hunter, we are all entitled to our opinions but straight up, you’re wrong.
hunter we are all entitled to our opinions but straight up you’re wrong ^Haiku^bot^0.4. Sometimes I do stupid things (but I have improved with syllables!). Beep-boop!
the piece can be complete and aesthetically pleasing even when there is no projection this is so good and it makes me so happy
THIS IS ALSO SCIENCE. SCIENCE ART. THE BEST KIND OF ART.
it kinda annoys me when people post these things and they don’t give credit to the artist. so the artist’s name is Rashad Alakbarov and he’s from Azerbaijan and he’s done several other pieces using shadows :
like a couple of months ago i accidentally made a Gay Joke and outed myself to a coworker and she went “you’re—-you’re girls!?” and i agreed “i’m girls!” and i still havent forgotten it
Following rules scrupulously does not make you a better person. Breaking them impulsively doesn’t, either.
Pink has many more shades than you think.
Don’t fall in love with a straight girl.
Nobody knows everything. Do not give the keys to your library to only a single person. They will leave holes in your catalog and return your favorite books water-logged and scuffed. Throw the doors wide and let the stacks be profligate, accept donations, and curate with care.
Wear earplugs to concerts.
When you inevitably fall in love with a straight girl because you didn’t listen to me, cherish that small sweet crack in your heart. Like the black oxidation that crusts caryatids, the damage was done because it was exposed, and the elements have a way of returning us to the earth, to the sky, to the water where you both were born.
And no one will pay more for a mint-condition heart, anyway.
