The first principle of this is a load-bearing English middle class belief that all mental disorders are faked, that anyone sick for longer than a week is malingering, that people who say they are allergic to things are lying for attention, and so on.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Vegans! Vegetarians! Anyone who likes cooking / eating amazing LIFE-CHANGING food! Here is my attempt at writing up a recipe for "daler bora", a treat from my childhood which is a lot easier to make with a food processor than it was for my mum having to grind the lentils using a rolling pin. Enjoy!
Lentil Fritters (“Daler Bora”)
If you’re vegetarian / vegan and you haven’t tried these, you are in for a TREAT. They are like a mash-up between falafel and onion bhajis and taste better than both. The recipe below i…

Hey artists and makers - if you’re seeing very few sales right now, please know that it’s not a reflection of your worth or skill. Across the board, not making back our table fees and expenses, and that’s really scary.

If you can, please shop small this season. We really need your support.

Everyone at the necromancy guild, we have come across a death god that consumes not just the flesh and remains, but the data of what makes a person, their engravings in the archives of samsara. We need all available necromancers on deck ASAP

Bisaya Society before 1521:
This is a "binalake." It is a female rooster showing intersex traits, much akin to how people are sometimes intersex :)

Basel, Switzerland, 1474: THIS MALE ROOSTER LAID AN EGG. UNDENIABLE PROOF OF ITS CAVORTING WITH THE DEVIL. MALES CANNOT LAY EGGS. BURN THE WITCH!

Holiday season is fast approaching and if you are looking for gifts for your loved ones, a good deed to do or a little treat for yourself for making it through this year it would mean the world to me if you could share this and/ or buy a little something to help us support Abdul♡

This holiday season, In case you were not aware; tulips, lillies, cyclamen, holly, mistletoe and poinsettia are toxic to cats and dogs; lilies and cyclamen are especially deadly for cats. Please be advised, I do not want anyone to lose a beloved pet just because they werent warned!

It's not our fault the whole scene is A MESS. If you are an artist too you aren't failing. The whole industry is getting messed up right now!!

I know a lot of the times I feel like "why am I not good enough?"

We are good enough. they are trying to hire NOBODY
For those not in those circles, I just need to remind you that losing a job to AI is not a vibes based idea. We are being told explicitly by art directors that we are being weighed against AI for jobs, people on teams fighting against the AD and you. It sucks. It’s demoralizing.

a good reminder most people who actually know trans people have no problem with us and the entire genocidal movement is astroturfed by a handful of billionaires and has nowhere near the amount of people behind it that you’d think it does from its cultural footprint

BlueSky Wrapped but it's how many times someone with words like "blue wave" and "resist" in their bio told you to enjoy the camps
