Fuck it, it's nuudeliposting time. His name means Noodle in Finnish and he's a baby corn snake

Look at this cutie pie. He's a baby <3 A precious baby

Also, check out his Easter propaganda. Isn't he a cutie? He is actually a part of a giant organization of snakes that brings everyone Easter eggs, it's just that the Easter bunny steals the credit every year, because of anti-snake sentiment. /j

(Yes, I'm using the word correctly. The whole point of that picture is to make snakes seem less scary with a baby corn snake in a cute Easter basket with Easter eggs. I'm just upfront with my propaganda.)

Hah, I never knew Johnstone was such a shrimp!

And yeah, I'm probably the one getting shanked, but congrats on growing Soop!

No pressure on these but maybe for the oc outfit asks, 🔥 for Pete and/or 🚓 for Johnstone bc he needs to go to JAIL

From this post!

Thanks for the ask, and also for your patience ^-^'

It's been sitting in my inbox for months now and I promise I never forgot it lmao

🔥 - Pete in What He'd Wear on a Very Hot Day

I looooove the idea of this one, the mental image of him sitting slumped somewhere overheating was lovely, thankyou >:)

the poor boy really is not used to, or built for the """hot""" weather :) devonhurst is brutally cold, and also miserable and wet, with very short summers. those summers, however, can get to a top of a whole 29C! how suffocatingly hot (LOL) (i'm from the armpit of queensland, those are baby numbers, and he's not even above 26 haha)

not only is pete straight up unacclimatised to the warmth, he has thick, insulated skin, and no ability to sweat, which means when the temperature rises, there's not much he can do to cool off except have a swim or take a cool bath :) neither of which are an option uwu

🚓 - Johnstone (and Pete) in a Prison Uniform

ALSO, I CAN'T FUCKING READ SO HERE'S 🚓 FOR BOTH OOPS (lying across my desk laughing)

I have no idea how Pete would end up in a human prison, but I DO know that he'd be losing his mind with fear, and that he wouldn't fare well for long :))

Update: it's been months and this actually gave me huge brainworms that sparked a whole au scenario with a friend and it was so fucking good <3<3

You can read more about Pete [here] and more about Johnstone [here]

Good things to think about. So, read it and analyze your own biases. There were a few things I had never even thought about.

Exercise: Exposing internalized intersexism

Perisex (non-intersex) people please take time to work through this. I'd also appreciate if you reblogged, even if you don't have time to do the exercise.

When you think of an 'intersex body', what comes to mind?

-Do you think of a stereotypical "hermaphrodite"? (Ex. a penis + vagina, a penis + pair of breasts, a very feminine person with a beard)

Do you, or have you ever, used one of the following arguments;

-Intersex people are living proof that trans people exist/that gender/sex is not binary

-Intersex existing disproves everything TERFs/transphobes believe in

-Cis kids with hormone issues are allowed to take HRT or participate in sports, which is hypocritical against trans people

-Nobody is forcing kids into sex reassignment surgery or hormones, that isn't a thing that happens

-Any kind of argument which uses intersex people as a statistic, whether that is framing intersex people existing as either "common" or "rare"

Do you, or have you ever, said any of the following statements;

-Technically I'm biologically intersex now because I took HRT/had surgery, which makes me biologically nonbinary aka intersex

-I tell people that I am intersex/have a hormone condition to avoid discrimination

-I wish I was born as/could become intersex, it would help my dysphoria a lot

-Intersex people are so lucky because they're already biologically nonbinary, they don't even need to transition

-This animal was born with a mix of sex characteristics/without a sex/developed characteristics of the opposite sex over time, which means they're nonbinary/trans

When it comes to sex, do you;

-Believe that sex is binary

-Believe that all intersex people are infertile

-Believe that all intersex people produce both sperm and egg

-Fantasize about intersex bodies, or consume or create porn that displays either intersex bodies or exaggerated stereotypes of hermaphroditic bodies

-Ask invasive questions about what genitals or reproductive organs an intersex person has

-Treat AFAB/AMAB the same as "[non-medically-transitioned] perisex female/perisex male", such as saying "AFAB anatomy" when you really mean vulva, vagina, uterus, ovaries, breasts, and so on

-Believe that HRT/surgery makes you intersex

-Believe that intersex only covers certain types of variation in sex and not others (Ex. Counting ovotestes, CAIS, and CAH as intersex but not counting PCOS or Klinefelter's)

When it comes to creating (artwork, writing, videos, etc), do you;

-Wish to include an intersex character, but do little or no research on how to write/draw them

-Fail to consider how your work will affect real-life intersex people consuming your work

-Ask random intersex people to help you create an intersex character

-Wish to include an intersex character because you personally think intersex people are interesting, or because you are seeking to include as many marginalized identities as you can

-Create intersex characters because you personally find them sexy

-Refer to characters as "hermaphrodites"

-If you create pride artwork or sell pride artwork, if you include a large variety of other LGBT+ identities but do not include intersex, why is this?

When it comes to advocacy work, do you;

-Fail to bring up intersex issues in conversations which should directly involve them, such as the Kansas bathroom bill

-Attempt to push intersex people out of queer spaces by saying that they are not queer

-Fail to recognize or acknowledge how many anti-queer and anti-trans arguments are inherently also anti-intersex arguments

-Say that intersex people are just "collateral damage" or "just caught in the crossfire/targeted by mistake" when it comes to discussing discrimination

-Never think to bring intersex flags or pins or similar to pride even as an ally, contributing to pride being vastly void of intersex pride

-Never attempt to organize protests specifically for intersex rights, or never bring intersex issues up in LGBTQIA+ support groups or resource centers or online

-Never educate others on intersex issues or lift up intersex voices

-Believe that intersex people have more rights than other marginalized groups, or that they are not discriminated against for being intersex

-Believe that all intersex people who are discriminated against are only discriminated against because people believe that they are transgender

Now, not all of these will point towards internalized intersexism; however, if you find yourself hitting several points listed here, you do likely have some internalized biases and intersexism to unpack.

"Would you love me if I was a worm" is out. "Would you help me if I was turned into a worm" is in!

(from da server :D)

"whump from the PoV of a literal worm whumpee"

(someone else) "I want a sequel to worm whumpee. Maybe there’s a spell to change him back, maybe caretaker puts him inside a little glass terrarium with soft soil, fresh moss, and an endless supply of leaves. I need a sequel to this crack fiction that nobody takes seriously 🥺"

"of course whumpee gets better! whormpee is still inside this fish that ate them after whumper used them as bait. caretaker gets the fish as a gift, and while cleaning it they find this still alive, suspicious acting worm. instead of freaking out or just lying there limp, whormpee actively nuzzles up to caretaker. caretaker finds this odd but cute and puts them in a terrarium. as they observe whormpee they notice they act way different from other worms, and their suspicions grow. they know whumper’s a dabbler in dark magic, so they take whormpee to another sorcerer to see if their suspicions are true. they are. caretaker then has to embark on a quest to retrieve the necessary material components for the spell that will revert whormpee back into whumpee. whormpee is living their best life in this terrarium, the dirt is clean and moist, keeping them healthy, the moss and mini plants grow beautifully, and whormpee munches on the bacteria in the dirt. when caretaker returns, whormpee is wriggling ecstatically, happy they’re back. they go to this sorcerer and perform the spell, and whormpee, who was resting in caretaker’s hand, is transformed back to their original self, whumpee, who is now being held, embarrassingly naked, in caretaker’s arms. sorcerer, being a nice person gives them spare clothes and whumpee and caretaker go home and, for the first time ever, they drop onto the couch in unison, caretaker leaning on whumpee. caretaker’s exhausted from their travels and whumpee’s exhausted from the transformation. they fall asleep lying against each other."

Very Silly Concept: a show called "Accessibility Nightmares" but it's structured exactly like Kitchen Nightmares. An accessibility specialist goes to different establishments and helps them make their businesses more accessible.

The accessibility specialist asks why the door at the top of the small set of stairs has a wheelchair symbol on it. The owner replies that's the accessible bathroom. The camera zooms in on the specialist as they process this information.

A customer with a service dog comes in to a restaurant. The hostess tells them they don't allow dogs. The accessibly specialist looks over at the hostess like

And there are web accessibility episodes too. The accessibility specialist stares at the white text on the light pink background of the home page like

The specialist asks why not a single product picture has alt text, and the business owner says "Well I mean, it's makeup, why would a blind person be shopping for makeup?" The specialist just

The specialist asks the web designer how a screen reader user is supposed to complete the captcha portion of the password reset process when there is no audio alternative. The designer admits they don't know.

Thank you for reminding me @itsdappleagain ^^

Question for the people who experience attraction:

[professional-idiocy]

Check your local laws on what counts as an abandoned animal. You might be able to legally steal it. Like in Finland an unsupervised cat roaming outside legally counts as abandoned, so if you can pick it up and take it to the local shelter you can tell the people if they don't find the cat's owner, you would like to adopt it.

If you go through that route your neighbor can't legally complain that you stole their cat.

Diesel's put on weight since I started feeding him so I'm feeding him less. He's not happy about it.

This.

THIS.

Broke:

Belle has Stockholm syndrome because she falls in love with the Beast, her kidnapper.

Woke:

Stockholm syndrome was coined to slander a woman who had been in a hostage situation but openly criticized the poor police response which recklessly put her in more danger and escalated the violence. She was then belittled and discredited publically by the police for this.

So. Yeah. Maybe Belle does have Stockholm syndrome actually.

Have you guys heard of this thing called LibreOffice? It's free, and functions like Word and Docs. So, if you don't want to pay for Microsoft Office that's a good open source alternative. If you don't like it, you can look into other free open source text editors because you don't have to subject yourself to the whims of Microsoft or Google

Okay, so, looks like Google Docs might actually start implementing their rule about not sharing explicit content. (This includes writing.) How in the ever loving fuck am I supposed to back up 1,000+ stories that equate to 3 million+ words into fucking Microsoft Word????? And efficiently, for that matter?! HELP.
