I'm thinking about doing one of Satah's picture...
Probably with my brownies. I need to make a pan tomorrow anyway.
Of course, I’m going to be really busy tomorrow. I know I’ll have time to make the brownies. I’m not sure if I’ll have time to do a Tumblr picture adventure in the process. Chances are I’ll be trying to do three things at once and taking pictures would slow that whole process down to a crawl.
But yeah,...

Advice for Internet
sadydoyle:
If I describe an unfortunate pattern of behavior, and you see yourself in this description, perhaps the problem is not that I have described this pattern of behavior. I will not tell you what the problem is! I am sure you will figure it out, one of these days!

Our Ambiguity
one. He wears cargos and goes barefoot, even though it’s only March. He asks his sister to shape his eyebrows (she’s better at it), and hums to himself while he smudges on eyeliner. His nail polish is chipped but he likes it that way. After two hours of walking around shirtless, he pulls his favourite t-shirt over his binder. He says, “I am here to make you question,” and...

Chaotic Horny is officially a D&D alignment now.
genderbitch:
And it is my alignment.
This deserves to join the pantheon of The Best Alignments along with Lawful Anal, Sarcastic Good, Chaotic Angry, and Neutral Hungry.
Personally I’d like to think I’m Obnoxious Good.

What Does A Lesbian Even Look Like?
whatdoesalesbianlooklike:
When I first came out, I was taken aback by how many friends and family responded with suprise and “Really? You don’t look like a lesbian…”
And in further thought, I realized that society has a very narrow view of what a lesbian “ought” to look like.
So, I propose an experiment:
There is no mold for a lesbian, and I’d like to have a true representation of who...

Baby X - A Child's Story Without Gender →
CUTEST SHORT STORY I HAVE EVER READ.
Once upon a time, a baby named X was born. This baby was named X so that nobody could tell whether it was a boy or a girl. Its parents could tell, of course, but they couldn’t tell anybody else. They couldn’t even tell Baby X, at first.

Day Twenty-Three – What do you think about...
Last one, and you get it now because I don’t feel like waiting until I get up later today to post it.
I find thinspo very saddening and upsetting. As someone who almost lost a best friend to a serious and long-lasting eating disorder, thinspo serves only to remind me of how frightened and unhealthy she was for that entire period of her life, and how self-loathing she was, always comparing...

Day Twenty-Two – Do you say your country’s...
Need to stop missin’ my days, dudes.
Okay. Anthem. Yes, I sing the anthem. Mainly that is because I like singing, and the Canadian anthem is a pretty good song. I love my country (even though the current government has been fucking shit up in a major way). I can love my country, and the ideals my country is theoretically founded on, independently of the current political situation.
I...

Day Twenty-One – What do you think about the death...
It sucks. Right out. I cannot think of any situation in which it would be better to kill someone than try to rehabilitate them and reintegrate them into society. But that’s the problem with the current prison system—the emphasis is on retribution, not rehabilitation. That causes a lot of problems, not least of which is that people who have already been incarcerated are more likely to...

Day Twenty – What do you think about plastic...
Well, I think it’s pretty neat technology—I mean, the idea that we can change people’s bodies, make them look like almost anything… it’s a cool concept. And it’s great for reconstruction of bodies or faces for people who have sustained serious injuries or trauma, or who have some kind of correctable deformity or physical disorder that seriously impacts their...

Why Victor Victoria is the Best Movie
Toddy: Shame is an unhappy emotion invented by pietists in order to exploit the human race.
Victoria: Who said that?
Toddy: I said that.
Victoria: You don't believe in shame?
Toddy: I believe in happiness.

Day Nineteen – Do you think high schools should...
Not only free contraceptive, but comprehensive sexual education, the opportunity to get to an STD or STI test, and confidential, non-judgemental counsellors as well, for anyone who needs it. It’s been proven time and time again—abstinence-only education does not work. Teenagers are going to experiment sexually, because they can and because it feels good, and with the internet now...

Day Eighteen – What is your take on people who...
Most of them are people who are very scared, frustrated, or depressed about something in their life, and are trying to let that out in the only way they know how. They don’t feel like they have anyone to reach out to, or that if they did reach out they wouldn’t be taken seriously. It may be a symptom of an underlying psychological condition and people who are desperate enough to...

An Anecdote
I was sitting on the floor of my shower, shaving my legs, and I had just finished the left leg and was staring at both of them—one shaved, one unshaved. It occurred to me that it was a sort of amusing metaphor for my gender identity, and for a moment, I considered leaving them like that.
Then one part of me said, you’re more of a guy than a girl, Tchy. Why are you shaving at all?
And...

Day Seventeen – Have you experienced your "first...
I need to stop missing my days, dudes.
Okay, so here’s the thing. I think “true love” as some metaphysical thing that happens to everyone if they’re in the right place at the right time is complete bullshit. “True love” is not something that magically happens. It’s something that must be built up and carefully maintained through strong communication and...

Day Sixteen – What do you want to happen to your...
Hmm. Well, first off, I’m an organ donor. I want everything that can be used to be used. If I have a weird organ or something they can study it, but what I’d really like is for my organs to help other people live better lives if that’s what they can be used for. Then, I think, I’d like to be cremated. I don’t want a viewing or anything. I want people to remember how I...

Day Fifteen – Do you believe in regrets? Do you...
Well, yes, I do, I mean… regrets exist. That’s not really something you can argue about. Sometimes people regret things.
Myself, personally? I don’t have any real regrets. Maybe little things (“I should have bought sushi instead of that chicken burger, it wasn’t very good.”). But big things, my whole life? No. I believe that everything I have done in my life...

Wow, two answers already. Wasn't expecting that.
For those of you who aren’t following xxboy, I just sent him a post as a question about giving away a spare binder I have that doesn’t fit me (I got it as a hand-me-down from a friend). That was about twenty minutes ago, and I already have two answers.
So, to my new followers and the people who have asked me about it, hi! I hope we can work something out, because I only have one...
