Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria is such a weird theory because it’s like there’s a very obvious explanation for why middle school kids who didn’t have dysphoria before might suddenly have dysphoria. Like huh weird I wonder what very obvious and widely known change that could cause kids to suddenly become very uncomfortable in their gender or sexual identity starts in between the ages of 10 and 14. Guess we’ll never know. Must be peer pressure to *checks notes* become the only gender minority in your whole school singling you out for harassment by your peers. Couldn’t be puberty suddenly giving you new body parts/bodily functions that are wrong for you.

#reminds me of when ‘my child was Perfectly Normal until he got vaccines and Now He’s Autistic’#no your child just got to the age certain social and developmental skills become apparent#and that happens to be a good age to give them certain vaccines (@dilfhershellayton)

Dude congrats on being the first person to have a new and interesting observation on this post. Yeah, that’s exactly what it’s like. It’s the desire to blame something external for who your child is because if you accepted the very obvious developmental explanation you would then have to admit that your child is a different kind of person than you instead of a mold-able mini me that you can force into your idyllic little nuclear family box you were imagining when you had them. Bigoted parents are terrified of their child not being exactly like them so they have to pretend that something like vaccines or peer pressure corrupted them. So much so that they’ll put them through bleach treatments or conversion therapy or whatever in an attempt to fix them before they’ll allow their child to be who they are.

I hate the trope of “I refuse to hit women!! [Gets decked]” cause it’s boring but I do like the trope of someone in an RPG going “hey I don’t wanna hit a kid that’s kinda fucked up” and the kid just obliterates them

“i refuse to hit a woman!” = Sexist, overdone, does nothing to actually empower the woman or make the guy seem nice

“I refuse to hit a kid” = valid, even funnier when the kid whips absolutely ass in one go

The ONLY exception to this is Mob Psycho where it’s a kid vs woman fight, in which the kid doesn’t want to hit a woman because he has been told that only scumbags hit women. And then the lady pauses the fight to explain this is a different situation and he’s not bad for defending himself.

Then he proceeds to whip ass in one go.

y’all cannot seriously be mad that the people with the most leverage are withholding their labor in solidarity with the people with the least leverage thereby giving them actual bargaining power like do you guys understand what a union is or nah

I don’t want this to be contraversial but people should not be obligated to make morally uplifting work

not into “Hay’s Code two but with the good morals this time I promise”

people should be allowed to make art that glorifies and celebrates the immoral

I’m begging people to go watch a John Waters movie

Oh also keep children away from debris but they can totes breathe in the ash and dust though.

Unconscionable CDC. This is immoral, unethical public health policy.

Y’all in the American SW and west Mexico better check the national hurricane center and your weather for this weekend and next week.

Hurricane Hilary is about to make landfall and that whole desert area is supposed to get a years worth of rain or more. Death Valley is supposed to get twice the annual rainfall. Severe winds, massive flooding, and landslides are all strong possibilities.

This is gonna get ugly. Please spread the word. This is a majorly anomalous event and people may be unaware of the threat headed their way.

Flash floods are definitely gonna kill people, so here’s your regularly scheduled PSA:

Desert soil does not absorb a significant amount of water. It reaches maximum saturation very very quickly, and all the rest of the water rushes downhill. Even if you can’t tell that the ground is not perfectly flat, the water can. And it will move. Quickly. No, faster than that. Nope, still faster. If you try to cross moving floodwater, you will get swept downstream and probably die.

Do not try to wade in/cross flood water that is any deeper than the thickness of the sole of an average athletic shoe, no I am not kidding, the water will get deeper literally while you’re standing in it.

This goes for cars, too. I’ve seen entire vehicles getting swept downstream in flash floods because the driver thought they could cross the “puddle” and Found Out.

Stay safe, y’all.

also if you’re going into water intentionally (cleanup, obviously as things RECEDE), PROTECT YOUR EYES. Flood water is NASTY AS HELL and you will be getting a tetanus booster right off the bat if you end up in the ER for any reason.

Part of climate change is that Southern California is starting to get the summer monsoons that used to only happen in Arizona and Nevada. Los Angeles was not a desert until the last 15 years — it was a Mediterranean climate. Summer monsoons = desert.

Also of note:

If you’re entering receding waters for cleanup, WEAR RUBBER WADERS!!!

Rattlesnakes can swim and will get in the water to get out of the heat. Rattlesnakes also rather notoriously are chill as fuck until you scare them. And imagine how terrifying the floods and noise of a hurricane must be to a rattlesnake.

Rattlers don’t “want to hurt you.” But they will defend themselves if they think they need to, and they’re going to think they need to. So protect yourself and them, and wear gear they can’t bite. Should you spot a rattler before it attempts to scare you off, just back away slowly and come back later. If you can’t back away, try to give it a wide berth, or angle your approach so you appear to be heading away rather than coming head on.

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that’s happened gradually, and which I’ve seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I’m not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it’s due to the homogenization of social media sites? There’s a lot more of this divide between “content creator” and “consumer” instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. “Asks” aren’t really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an “ask” on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

it’s probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it

but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.

Reblog if your ask box is open.

which one annoys you the most?

Sunday being considered “the day of rest”

video games that have xmas, easter, and/or halloween for literally no reason

days starting in the middle of the night for some reason

getting time off for xmas even though you’d rather not

not getting time off for holidays you actually celebrate

people who act like pork is gd’s gift to humanity

folks who think everyone celebrates new years on jan 1st

“my sibling in christ” being treated like a normal, non-aggressive phrase

most charitable orgs/health things/homeless shelters being very xtian

just seeing roman execution devices everywhere you go, apparently

Xtian bibles - and ONLY xtian bibles - being offered in hotel rooms

when someone calls a religion a “faith”

enjoy my cultural-xtianity annoyance poll for today. plz behave in the notes.

I avoid writing the word “christ” where possible bc I am jewish and using the word that indicates Jesus is the moshiach and possibly devine is, for me, a form of idolatry. thanks.

#Not Jewish but if any of my Jewish mutuals want to vote

this is for everyone, we’re all negatively affected by xtian hegemony, this is why I tried to avoid things that were jewish-specific (for example Muslims and other groups avoid pork just as much as Jewish ppl do)

how the fuck am i supposed to pick one
