So i hear you like snakes. How do you feel about hognose snakes? Ever heard of them?

Yes, they are fun and adorable and silly

“My spouse of ten years is trans! I feel like I'm meeting her for the first time, bc her personality was so restricted as a man”

You can find many gems over at reddit.  u/cetacean-station posted one about celebrating her spouse coming out as a transgender woman a couple of days ago.

I’ve been living with this new person, formerly my husband, full-time for almost three weeks. Cuz of corona we spend our time at home, so she’s been dressing up, I’ve been doing her hair and showing her how to do all the girly things… and like, holy shit. I’m head over heels for her!! Omg

Like OK, so many things that were challenging for me when she was a man have just… disappeared for this new person. In part because of this fabulous, fancy, blooming personality that I’m meeting for the first time, but also in relation to my own gender presentation. I’m a cis-looking genderfluid AFAB person, and while I’m OK at being a girl, I’ve always been kinda masc. I give off kinda tomboyish energy, low-key dyke vibes, & i always felt i needed to hold that back, for fear of emasculating him/seeming stronger or more masc then him. Also cuz, society. But this girl yo, she’s like, the most delicate & ladylike thing… I don’t have to tone myself down around her… her girly energy totally increases my masc energy, and i feel so authentically myself. It’s nuts. I’m super gay for her honestly.

I just wanted to declare this somewhere cuz she’s not out, and she may not come out, cuz she’s afraid to affect her job. I’m in love with this woman!! Holy shit. I can’t believe she’s been there the whole time and i didn’t know!!! and I’m so excited to get to know her, the girl of my dreams, the way i got to know the man of my dreams. <3

Thank you for reading this, I hope you have a nice day <33

Edit: y'all are beautiful, thank you for the kind words & shiny awards. I feel so much love. My heart is so stinkin WARMED rn! ♥️ Think I’ll take this energy and make breakfast for the pretty lady sleeping in the other room (my, um, WIFE?! omg😍wat)

I find more and more stories about family and friends embracing the gender variance of the loved ones these days. The message is often this one: They are not losing the person they loved. They are getting more of the best parts of that person.

There is a cultural backlash against trans people these days, but keep in mind that that backlash is caused by the increasing support of transgender people. The trans-positive undercurrent is getting stronger every day.

i just thought yamato thanking kakashi for each individual section of clementine he was handed would be funny

officially starting a campaign to make jellyfish the dissociation mascot. i know a good amount of autistic people like the idea of cats as their mascot, i feel like this would be a similar concept. 

this would be for anyone with any primary dissociative issues: DPDR, DID, OSDD, etc, and also include those with more nebulous things where their own dissociation is prominent: PTSD, ADHD, BPD, Depression, Anxiety, etc.

Reasons:

jellyfish are literally the embodiment of “no thoughts, head empty”

they just exist in their own time and place and float along

drifting in the current and sometimes fight against it

basically i am a human jellyfish when i dissociate

thank you for your consideration

got tired of people staring at me for using a cane so i made a cane that stares back.

2020. googly eyes, hot glue, and cane.

[ID: a black cane covered in black and white googly eyes is in front of a white background. the cane tip and handle are black. there is a thin gold band at the top of the cane right before the handle begins. end ID]
