“chocolate guy” is currently shilling for harry potter so i better not see yall post his shit anymore. anyone who engages with that shit especially for money is scorched earth as far as i’m concerned.
Came right up when I searched it, unfortunately
because of the new tv show. and it’s only going to get worse as we get closer to the show’s release. take notice of it — who’s advertising, who’s talking about it, who’s encouraging you to watch it. it’s going to keep happening. there’s going to be more chocolate guys, more nicholas hoults, more kiera knightleys.
take no shit. give rowling an inch and she’ll take a mile. i don’t care how much you like or don’t like someone — if you see them interacting with harry potter positively in ANY way, drop them. unfollow, block, pretend they don’t exist. scorched fucking earth.
and most importantly, be loud about your support for transfems. be transfeminists. be mean about it. fight with people about it. block liberally. download shinigami eyes. read transfeminist theory. provide material and monetary support for dolls who need it, especially the trans women of color in your communities. show them that they’re loved. don’t look away.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset
- the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
- taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
- at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
- 'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
- it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
- it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
- you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
- young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
- there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Does the rest of the world know about tides in Britain. In fact do British people know about tides in the rest of the world. The average tidal range in the British isles is like 5 metres. The average range in the USA is like 1. The highest is I think the Severn estuary which hits 15 metres?? The Mediterranean is like 30cm. Why is this island doing this to us (rhetorical don’t make me get into wavelengths)??? The tide in Morecombe Bay has a top speed of 10mph or 30mph in the surge channels (it kills people). Do people know about this?? I just assumed the whole world was like this you mean the rest of you don’t get drilled on looking up the tide times before you go to the beach???
Oh interesting! I (Aus) do pay attention to tide times because the shoreline in my hometown is a lot of shallow flat that isn’t swimmable at low tide.
At the surf beaches I grew up near you do keep some awareness of the tide (particularly at what point the turn from high tide is obviously what’s causing the undertow), but it’s not a hazard in itself- it’s the interaction between tide, wind and seasonal factors creating rips that you worry about. Unless you’re a surfer, the lifeguard designated swimming area will have marked out a safe spot.
I just checked, the biggest tidal difference at my favourite beach is 2m.
Huh.
And then there's the Bay of Fundy, 16 meters average tide
My favourite (and nearest) beach - Buck Beck beach near Cleethorpes, has a horizontal tidal range of 1.5 miles.
(I love going out there at low tide because the constantly shifting sands throw up old wrecks from the Humber Estuary, the occasional car, and one time a downed WW2 plane
The vertical tidal range is around 6 meters, but when the tide comes in its fast and you can easily get trapped on one of the many sandbanks. In the spring we get high tides of around 7-8 meters
Which is why there's no buildings or paved roads within a couple of miles of the beach
... omg i thought everywhere was like this
I grew up at Formby Point on Merseyside, a place with a tidal range almost as long as the Bay of Fundy with Neolithic footprints on the shore, and until like, last year, I thought that was normal.
sometimes when meeting people who have lived in Minnesota their whole life I get the sense they think my friendliness is an attempt to steal their limited resources that they’ve saved up for the winter.
#this is bizarre to me#because like. they are also friendly? but apparently I am friendly in a way that makes me suspicious#or maybe annoying?#idk. I have met so many new people this summer and I consistently feel like this#but I just got off a call with a woman who recognized my area code and SHE clicked with me

They're sending a trans woman to prison for life over the fact that she attended an anti-ICE protest where a cop died (she had already left the protest when the 'violence' started)
please stop making stuff up to fit this nonsense separatism and read what hill actually has to say
I do not believe in 50 years. I don’t. Maybe I’m in denial but I still kind of don’t believe that I’m actually going to serve out this whole sentence and I think there’s a little reason for optimism in that regard. There is a big movement of support for a political pardon for us from the next Democratic president of the United States. My mother told me that my father said that the next time a Democratic president is in office, he’s going to write him a letter to ask for a pardon for me. And that was the first positive interaction that I’ve had with my dad in five years. And when I heard that, I just burst into tears and, like, just became hysterical for five minutes because it was just the perfection of the absurdity of the time to me. My arch-conservative father, who I can’t really stand to be in the same room as right now because of his transphobia, that he would do this thing, right, like appeal to a Democratic president on my behalf. And it really shows this bipartisan sentiment that this is obviously unjust, this is obviously political. You know, if this arch-conservative and I can find common ground over the belief that this is a political persecution, I think that there’s a very strong chance for some future good thing to come our way out of that.
...
[interviewer]: Is there anything else I didn’t ask you that you want to get out, that you wanna say in this context? Obviously, people will see this and I know you have limited connection to the outside world.
AH: I would say the same thing that I’ve said before, which is: Be brave. We’ve been accused of being terrorists, but terror is the power that this administration wants to ply in order to keep people quiet, in order to keep people content. Fear of incarceration, fear of homelessness, you know, it’s this fear, this fear that we’re going to lose our privileges, that we are going to use our comfort, that keeps people docile, keeps people from speaking the truth. Don’t be afraid.

i have to bring this up every time I see this: nobody died at the protest Autumn Hill was at. A cop suffered minor injuries. Autumn Hill wasn't even present when that happened.
as for the tweet that was screenshotted: her fellow protestors are in prison alongside her, that's why they're not protesting to demand her release. Here's a website with more information about the whole case. We're still trying to bring them all home, regardless of gender
i hate constantly seeing this fucking post on my dash spreading misinformation to make trans women feel like they will be abandoned.
There has been a lot of organising and protesting and fundraising and solidarity around the prairieland defendants, and actually autumn hill has been one of the main people in the spotlights for that, out of all the arrestees.
I dont know what the original post is meant to do except spread misinformation (no cop died) and giving activist left-wing trans women a false sense of abandonment and defeatism.

common misconception but ultimately untrue. what edgeworth has going on is an incredibly straightforward combination of daddy issues, autism, strict upbringing, and poorly repressed homosexuality. robust, yes, but not complicated. whatever the fuck makes phoenix act like that is an issue that the subject's top scholars are still debating today. nothing so easily summarized.

diet culture is so evil like. an older woman friend said to me (in response to me saying my gf isn't really into chocolate) "i WISH i didn't like chocolate" like. do you wish you didn't have skin to feel a summer breeze. do you wish you didn't have eyes to see the sunrise
