I Used To Work As A Cashier At A Grocery Store And Literally Had A Middle Aged Lady Go “you’re Really

Me as a bio major looking at the vast spectrum of life on earth, and face palming when humans try to put something undefinable about life itself into two tiny, restrictive boxes- and then watching as people get mad when life inevitably goes “hehe fuck your boxes I do what I want.”:

These are all that one reaction at the same time.

This is the cycle of emotions I feel as I watch other humans do and say incredibly stupid things about sex and gender like they’re experts because they half paid attention in sex Ed because there was a diagram of knockers, and the teacher said “penis” far too many times to be comfortable.

Now I know you did not just call that “magenta” fucking MAROON.

Clearly, someone hasn’t heard of the MYCK color wheel!

Magenta has blue content which is why it ends up not looking like a brownish glistening turd, maroon DOES NOT HAVE BLUE CONTENT AS IT IS A TRUE RED!

Okay not ragging on wearing seatbelts at all, DEFINITELY DO THAT, but I will say that I kinda do think seat belts are sexist. Mostly because cars were designed with male drivers in mind and to this day the majority of crash tests are conducted WITH male-only dummies- this has skewed the survivorship of male and female drivers, because women aren’t the the ones with the design in mind, they end up dying on a much more regular basis. (You cannot convince me no woman has ever been boob slapped at an ungodly force because an airbag wasn’t aimed correctly at her chest), I think that the seat belt’s design is just a vestigial remnant of that fact. Women are more likely to die in a crash as the driver, and it’s because cars aren’t usually being tested with female-designed dummies. (There’s a few around now, but this is still pretty new.)

I sincerely think that while unimportant (technically), the design of seat belts could definitely be modified for the comfort of all people while also being safe, if not even safer. Just cause it works doesn’t mean it can’t be better!

Also??? Breast amputation????? Girl- if car crashes resulted in male castrations the design would’ve been changed immediately. Don’t even play with me right now. Even if it’s survivorship bias that’s still a permanent and disfiguring injury that is by all means preventable by an improved design. No one gender or sex should suffer severe bodily disfigurement because they weren’t accounted for. That just isn’t ok.

And it’s not even just women this applies to. Would it kill us to actually cover the rough fabric in soft sleeves? I remember seat belts rubbing and even sometimes burning my skin as a child- because they don’t account for the kaleidoscope of people who will enter, exit, and use a seatbelt while in the car. Children are sensitive to that stimulus too. I don’t think parents of special needs children (or any children, for that matter) should have to go about replacing their car’s seatbelts because some Rich ass company decided to not improve a preexisting design because they want to hold on to their money with greedy grubby fingers. Kinda defeats the purpose of innovation if not a soul tries to improve at something.

What I’m saying is- safety devices like seatbelts are important, and they should absolutely be used and worn, but they can stand to be improved and updated to be better for everyone. Just because they work doesn’t mean their design was inclusive from the jump nor is it currently. Seatbelts working and seat belts having a rather unfriendly design for certain groups are both true statements that can coexist without either being wrong. But that’s something that is fixable. And it shouldn’t be ignored just because it works.

FUCK YEAH SAY LESS

Broseph, my sibling in Christ. As someone who identifies as being demisexual and panromantic, meaning I could fall in love with anyone at all…

I’ve seen so many people who are just objectively attractive (in the aesthetic sense) regardless of gender identity. Pretty people have no gender, I believe they are simply in a league of their own.

I’ve seen women with glasses, pixie cuts, and strong noses who make me question if I’m demi because they look like little cherubs.

I’ve seen men with long hair and fem or masc features who make me think I’m in a dnd campaign, and I’ve seen men with short hair and soft features that make me go “babey” and activate my maternal instinct that I’ve never had the words to express other than I’m ✨on the ace spec✨

I’ve seen people whose gender I couldn’t quite discern because the andro vibes are vibing and I’ve gone “ooo pretty”.

I’ve seen trans men who look like they could’ve been the main character of a romance film.

I’ve seen trans women who make me think I’m unworthy of womanhood they’re so beautiful (in the most objective of ways, like fields of flowers)

I’ve met straight women with soft faces and eyes of gems who make me question why someone hasn’t put a ring on that already.

I’ve met straight men with soft round faces and glasses who make me wonder how anyone functions around them. Babey.

ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE ARE JUST ATTRACTIVE. It has nothing to do with sexuality, “transness”, gender identity, or otherwise.

How does anyone not understand that? Have they never looked at Micheal Angelo’s “David” and thought. “Damn. That’s a beautiful piece of art”? It’s the same damn thing. Jfc

This is not a friendly reminder, this is goddamn emotional warfare you have sent shrapnel flinging across the walls of my home and emotional safety.

I don’t even drink enough to feel tipsy and I want to cry.

I don’t even own a cat!!! (I wish I did)

We really all just be living and vibing.

Quick reminder that you don't need a solid sexuality! You can just be in love! Or not be in love! Or have a gender! Labels are a choice, not a requirement. All you need to do is be someone you like being! If labels help with that, great! But they are not required. You don't owe it to anyone, so don't feel pressured to choose labels if they aren't your thing!

Yknow this is why I got embarrassed when I played with the doors open. Sorry, I know you’d look at me weird if you saw a little girl about to hang a traitorous stuffed dog for his many war crimes with a string of cheap marti gras beads in front of the doorway with an audience, authority figures, last words rites, and all. I’ve built a society with birth, death, tragedy, relief, societial expectations, rituals, and traditions.

You wouldn’t be able to keep up. To you it’d just look weird. To me, it is the most invigorating story and I’m having a fucking blast.

Then of course they came back from the dead and have a revenge arc, because they were a wrongful convict.

Suck it, loser. I’m having fun.

(There was also this one time I made literal armor for my stuffed elephant out of ball bearings and magnets because I was obsessed with them as a kid. I was gonna make them go to war. Then the magnets collapsed in on eachother and were nearly impossible to remove because of the shear number of magnets I used. I could barely lift it to get my parents to help me. )

i love in fantasy when its like “king galamir the mighty golden eagle and his most trusted advisor who would never betray him, gruelworm bloodeye the treacherous”
