Watching The Handmaid's Tale And There Is A Scene (don't Worry This Isn't Really A Spoiler For The Plot)

Watching The Handmaid's Tale and there is a scene (don't worry this isn't really a spoiler for the plot) where the doors close as Aunt Lydia leaves the room with all the handmaids, after which all the handmaids get up from their sitting on their beds and run to a handmaid who is on crutches. They all start to hug her, smiling and laughing and whispering stories to each other in this close knit mob of women, momentarily free from the eyes and ears and ears of authority. I feel like those kind of scenes are so rare in TV and movies today, showing how women always manage to find community and resilience in each other even in the darkest places. It just hit me hard in the emotions.

I work in a adolescent locked mental health unit. Guess how many kids on average there identify as trans or non-binary? I would say it's around 30 to 40% of them. During orientation, my co-worker said to me, "rule #1: we just use they/them pronouns for everyone so they can't get offended at us for using the wrong one".

it's always "trans youth are at a higher risk for suicidal thoughts" and never "suicidal youth are more prone to deciding they're trans"

These are pure gold.

lol. lmao, even.

I need some of these prints ASAP.

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

to say that gender is what you feel inside is to imply that women’s oppression is just the mere consequence of a feeling.
