please look through the hiroshima peace memorial museum's august 6 exhibition and the stories of victims and survivors. today, august 6, is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima, and saturday is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki. please consider these events not only as a series of numbers or even a single day in world history but as the living hell they created for hundred of thousands of people. i realize a lot of people in the world probably don't know as much about the actual circumstances experienced by the people of hiroshima and nagasaki, as well as the indigenous people (downwinders and marshallese) affected by nuclear arms testing by the us, so instead of getting any more angry about how people talk about it (and how they dont talk about it) i just want to share. the images in those links are hard to look at but it's important, if you're in a safe place, please take the time to sit with them and what they say to you, it would mean a lot to me. all of the peace museum's permanent exhibitions are accessible for free online, i strongly recommend exploring them. & free palestine
today is the 81st anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima. august 9 is the 81st anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki. please take some time to remember the lives that were destroyed in these senseless attacks. it's also important to remember that there is no limit to what the united states is willing to do to any people it considers an obstacle to its imperial interest and there is no limit to what it will say in attempt to justify these atrocities.

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)
one thing abt me is that I can't recognize veneers and I can't tell when someone's hair is a wig and I can't clock fake accents even when they're done pretty badly and I'm also bad with faces. all that to say I would be insanely vulnerable to hijinks/capers
once I was at a rave and a friend of a friend who we'd been dancing with all night put on a fake beard and I didn't recognize her. Literal cartoon situation
like when your audience is trans people you just can't be assuming that everyone who needs the info you're sharing is going to be comfortable with their body being described with terms like 'cock' or 'pussy', I feel like people used to talk abt this all the time 😭😭 though tbf I think the op may have been a porn/nsfw blog so there's a good chance they only intended it to spread to nsfw circles and not the broader tumblr ecosystem
okay I'm happy to see that post abt genital health medication options for trans people going around bc it's great information and it needs to be more widely known. however. am I alone in thinking that it's insane to phrase it as "estradiol cream keeps your pussy wet." Like I have no issue with that language personally bc I don't have bottom dysphoria but the amount of transmascs I've seen who are specifically extremely uncomfortable with the word "pussy" being used to describe their anatomy is kind of staggering... I'm not saying this random tumblr post has to conform to Public Health Best Practices but have we totally forgotten the idea of using neutral language and taking bottom dysphoria into consideration when sharing info like this? like right from sentence two you've alienated a huge amount of people who need to read this the most
