Anonymous question [TW: sexism, cissexism, racism]
i have terrible anxiety about the things that were ingrained into my head for the first 20 years of my life. i don’t know if you’ll have any advice- i hope you do but even if you don’t, i think i just need to tell someone. i grew up very conservative in a small town and i was extremely narrow minded, arrogant. my parents are staunch southern baptist and i was too, and we lived...

Anonymous asked: i've recently discovered that a lot of my anxiety comes from my body. not my appearance, but the fact of having a body itself - having organs inside me, and how much potential i have to go wrong. i'm worried this might be something more serious than regular anxiety. Some days it gets so bad i can't look in the mirror because i'm afraid i'll start decaying right then. Is...

“The pro-choice movement opposes forced ultrasounds because they override the doctor’s discretion and the doctor-patient relationship, in a manner that is not only condescending to the woman’s preferred course of action, but also often requires a greater outlay of time, sometimes an entire extra day, as well as money. Not only do they not change anyone’s mind,...

This is quite random but what exactly is used to make vegan jello?
It uses carrageenan instead of gelatin. Carrageenan has similar gel forming properties, but it is made from cultivated seaweed instead of animal bones. Therefore it is significantly more nomz.

no offense or anything but sometimes green tea does suck if you leave it out on the counter all day and one of your kids accidentally drops Play-Do crumbs in it. I don’t drink that shit and I wouldn’t let you drink it either.
please…don’t ever let me drink that…oh god…
So should I correct the post...

She said something unintentionally offensive, and has been incredibly humble in her several, profuse apologies (a lot more humble, might I remind you, than just about anyone else would've been after having to put up with all your vicious anon hate), and you're still wasting moments of your life that you cannot get back to berate her further....

stfurapeculture asked: On allies, I couldn't fit my reply in the reply box. I wanted to say I didn't think it was a hostile question you were asked. :/ I thought it was valid. I may think someone is an ally against racism, but if POC disagree, their opinions are more valid than mine. Similarly, people like Hugo Schwzyer think they are feminist allies, and some people agree--but I don't. Being an ally is...

jeremyml replied to your post: serious non-hostile question. why do you and other cis people think you can say who is and isn’t a trans ally?
That sounds like a pretty hostile question to me. In addition to this, how the hell do you quantify being an ally with anything but intent? Do you get a name tag and badge if you defend your trans friends from injustice enough or something?
It felt like a...

sometimes i laugh out loud over the silly pages people visit on my blog that i had forgotten about posting. like a few days ago, someone landed on a photo i posted of vagina cupcakes back in november. i saw that in the list of visited pages and i was like “OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE AWESOME VAGINA CUPCAKE! NOW I WANT ONE!”
so here is that photo again.

In response to a whole slew of posts by Lauren (3dela) and a bunch of hate she’s been getting:
cis people: you don’t get to police language used by the trans* community. Yes, “die cis scum” is violent. I myself do not typically endorse violence, and I understand that you might find it upsetting that this language seems to be directed at you. Please, please understand that the...
