So Tempted To Make This My College Thesis Paper

So tempted to make this my college thesis paper

so one of the things I was vaguely aware of before reproducing was that people hold a lot of anxiety around the gender of babies and 'wrongly' gendering babies (i.e. failing to guess correctly based on their clothes and appearance what their genital configuration is) and having now had a baby: wow, yes, they really do.

I take an extremely laissez-faire approach to baby clothes because like, they are constantly being thrown up on and grown out of and so on, what matters is that they are clean and easy to put on and I am not spending $$$$$ on them. as long as the colour/design is not directly offensive, it's fine. what this means is that people are quite frequently 'misgendering' the baby and then falling over themselves to apologise about it.

and, like, I haven't even had a chance to dress him in anything pink yet; this is based on rules I didn't expect like 'anything with flowers or sparkly bits on it is for girls only'. equally, I do not care when this happens because it's an irrelevancy, but THEY care to make sure I am not offended. so I have started telling them "look, he's only [x] months old; his gender is baby."

and you know what? you'd be surprised how many otherwise average heterosexual people process this and go "huh, yeah, I guess it is." there is a tiny amount of hope for the future after all.

If we’re talking Waitress, When He Sees Me is so Legend, fear of opening up and not being accepted for it/losing that acceptance and love is the start of 90% of the character arcs I’ve seen for him. Poor traumatized darling :(

Please listen to "Never Ever Getting Rid of Me" if you haven't yet. I just listened to it again and it's just screaming Ravioli to me. Especially the beginning.

OMG you are so correct

Me asking for money for my birthday instead of gifts because I know if I ask my mostly Christian/Conservative family to buy my a corset I’m not gonna get it

Only found out about booping five minutes ago but I love how you can do it repeatedly to the same person for as long as your fingers can continue to move because yes I am that determined to love my mutuals, they deserve it

So excited, best birthday present ever!

TIL that the oldest living land animal to date is a gay tortoise and I don’t know how to feel about it.

Might I clarify that the elder tortoise (Jonathan) is 191 and his mate (Frederik) is 32.

I know we’re not supposed to apply human standards to animals but hngh-

However, I do find it funny as fuck that Frederik was only identified as a male in 2017, he was originally named Frederica.
