So you know how some cats have to be kept out of the bathroom at all costs because they will shred the toilet paper at any opportunity?

That's Gil. Not in the bathroom, because frankly he is not tall enough to reach it. But I have pretty bad allergies, so sometimes when I'm out of tissues or whatever, I'll grab a roll of paper towels or toilet paper to blow my nose on.

Before the last year of my life, this was a fine thing to do. The roll of paper would remain unmolested except when I needed to blow my nose again.

Now, I have to remain eternally vigilant, lest the child realize that roll of paper exists within his reach. He will sneakily pick it up, move it just far enough away that I don't notice his shenanigans until it's too late, and then gleefully claw at it until there is nothing left but shreds that I will keep finding scraps of for weeks, no matter how hard I try to clean up.

Anyway, happy nearly first Gotcha Day to Gilgamesh, sweetest and most gremliny of princelings. Looking back on the dates... I only just realized that we acquired him on the Ides of March and maybe should have called him Caesar or Julius, because that's hilarious. Maybe that needs to be added to his litany of names belatedly? GILGAMESH CAESAR has a fucking ring to it, you know?

#gilgamesh #ides of march #dogs #pets #gil is just... I literally think this last year might have killed me if I didn't have him #losing ace was so abrupt and traumatic #(he was born the day after she died) #my last two semesters of college were horrible and dehumanizing #leading up to my probable covid infection #and the worsening of my pots #and having to drop out of school and just being so much sicker than I've been in years... #gil's been here for all but the first two months of that #and he's so charming and personable and intense #and I cannot cry in his presence without him forcibly interrupting me with kisses #and it helps #so much

Happy birthday to the history man <3

#Was Born To Lead #Valerio Álvarez #My OCs #My edit #None of you will ever understand how much I love him and how much he means to me #He’s so imperfectly perfect #The best man ever #So I wanted to do something in honor of his birthday he deserves a little gift #I made a similar thing of Gabe a loooong time ago and the funny thing is that I made Valerio’s aesthetic before I made Gabe’s #I just have it scheduled for several months because I’m worried to forget about Valerio’s birthday #I already forgot about Ángel’s birthday last year and I don’t want it to happen again #Anyway I wish Valerio to find his inner peace and remain his kind and compassionate self even when he’s under stress <3 #(if you want to ask me about the symbolism choices please do)

"Quick test tho, replace girlfriend with boyfriend and see if ur still bothered by it." me when i'm 7 and have yet to realize that men and women have a very different place in the social hierarchy because we live in a society

#joke 7-year-olds have already realized this because they're smarter than the person i'm quoting #and because they're boys and girls themselves and are treated differently based on that from the moment they're born lmao #i was reading a book the other day (last month) where boys were already doing the weaponized incompetence thing and girls already cleaned #up after them automatically without being asked BEFORE THE AGE OF 5 like it's bad for us (it was like a sociological study) #and literally the weaponized incompetence thing makes sense it's normal/smart to try to get out of doing something you don't wanna do like #chores and stuff but it's the fact that girls internalize that they have to be the ones who stop doing what they're doing to clean up after #boys/men AS CHILDREN and then keep doing that for the rest of their lives. i'll kill myself #i was raised with just my sister and my mom and my sister is the man of the house in the sense that i'll ask her to do things a certain #way a thousand times because it's better for everyone and she'll always be like yeah you're right and then never do it. and i'm always like #if i actually had to go through that with a partner...and with male partners statistically i probably would #when women make posts like oh look what my boyfriend/husband bought vs what i asked for haha he's so silly...KILL HIM #anyway. my point was you internalize it early enough to realize some of it is off as a kid. so why would you say there's nothing wrong with #saying something about women if the same thing being said about men doesn't offend you #like are you stupid #and like i say: brf slt

RIP to Malleus' autistic self having to not only communicate with people from the outside world for the first time without even knowing normal social cues...but having to communicate with people from the outside world that aren't even the same SPECIES as him

#its like if u had to have a conversation with a sentient fly #youd be like “remember that big storm that happened last month?” and it wouldn't even know because it was born like 7 days ago #or they'd be like “my grandpappy was in that storm when he was a maggot how would I know”

thank you, tv room, for giving me a brain blast and helping me FINALLY decide between some different ren origin options after mulling over them for months :) he may have come fully formed in my brain personality-wise, but i'm still working on details.

still waiting on that voice claim brain blast tho KJANSFKJN

#literally been listening to two tv room tracks for MONTHS... and when i finally looked up the full albums last night #it was like a neon sign pointing me to something obvious that i hadn't thought to look up ;; #currently: mom's french canadian > immigrates to maine after meeting his dad there > ren's born > he moves south for college / to escape #and i'm gonna hide this in the tags bc despite it all i'm still nervous KJANSDFKJN but #after all this time i'm wondering if i'm building up the voice thing when it isn't like... i'm-gonna-be-crucified bad? #he is absolutely peak white liberal + everything but his most recent stuff is Genuinely Bad... maybe this will give it away #but i only knew about him from vine and from other white liberals talking up his most recent n/etflix special when it released... #so seeing the other stuff while looking for ren-isms Took Me Out. but he's clearly... grown? i guess?? still irony poisoned #and cynical and annoying as shit but... yknow... more harmful comedians are given bigger platforms etc etc. #if that's enough to give shit away and you know anyone who has a similar voice and isn't. yknow. him? i'm Begging and Pleading. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #evil brain blast cursed me and i've been working to break the curse ever since... so any and all recs are VERY much appreciated ;;; #currently searching through queer comedians to see if i can find anyone w the same tone but not having as much luck as i thought i would. #SEND TWEET KJSANDFKJn been sitting on this for a couple of hours. Debating. it's gonna happen eventually tho so it might as well be now. #📌 [ my posts. ] #🍄 [ lying on the blade of an emotion. ] #🦦 [ can't escape it. ] #✨ [ oc lore. ] #✏️ [ my scenarios. ] #🐸 [ look ahead. ] #🧃 [ who is in control. ]

Diversity win!!! The weird little murderous freak is genderfluid

#im crying what the fuck is this #its hard being a teen girl when your a grown man who was actually born a couple months ago #also who the hell was he talking about when he said 'my boyfriend's teacher knows a guy.' KENJAKU????? #the gag only lasted ten seconds but it gave me a lifetime of questions

I am still trying to figure out what's going on in Ray's solo (the later, longer one), but the very first issue involves him running into a particularly obnoxious, just-arrived-in-Hawaii Kon and getting ticked off at him enough to get violent, which gets out of hand, but anyway, this is how it ends, on a cliff-hanger, and I am much amused:

(The Ray 1994 #1)

#comicsposting again #RT: born with the light #KE: all I got is who I am #'the last two times'? when was that? he's literally like three months old at this point he's barely done anything yet

[guinevereslancelot]

was trying to figure out why the hr guy lied abt why i was being fired and i just realized its bc it's illegal to fire me for asking for a reasonable accommodation for a disability or medical condition lol

#i could file an eeoc complaint and sue themmm but that sounds like a hassle #i even have in writing the request to change to part time due to my health #but im sure it would be a huge pain and go nowhere and its a small town as well i dont want to make problems #esp since im starting my own business right down the road #also the owner is a multimillionaire and would sue me to oblivion for defamation or something probably #but i will wait a month or two so they dont know its me and write them a bad google review 😌 #bc their product quality sucks and they overcharge for disgusting moldy plants after they pay us shit to pick off the moldy leaves and ship #i spent all week picking thru gross moldy mealy bug infested plants trying to find ones that looked ok (after removing gross leaves) to ship #for $76 a tray!! #and for a slightly dif version of the plant each gross plug is like six dollars #and they come in trays of 51 i believe #they also do this with the edible plants btw #last week i was picking out the slimy moldy leaves of the basil so they could ship it to be distributed to every hannafords in the region 🤢 #anyway their quality is so so awful and gross the owner is only rich bc he was born rich #despite his self made man backstory that he completely made up lol #i wanna namedrop them but i dont want to get sued #dont buy basil at hannafords if you live in new england tho

better call saul ended on the same day my nephew was born. on some level i knew this already and now you do too

#i didn’t actually watch bcs in full until like two months later #although i obviously knew it was airing #and my nephew and i were on opposite sides of the country when he was born #and august 2022 was an EXCEPTIONALLY horrible period of time at World’s Worst Target #which i think all contributed to why i never made the connection at the time #and then i was looking at wikipedia when my dad was finally watching season 6 last week and i was like. hey wait a minute

Yesterday, I started reading Colonel Barker's Monstrous Regiment by Rose Collis. I'm only about 35% way through the book so far.

Mostly the book follows the life of Sir Victor Barker (or Colonel Barker), who becomes a female husband at the age of 28. He lived the first 27 years of his life as a woman. He was even married twice and had two kids. Both his husbands were WWI veterans and abusive towards him. He estranged himself from them and then took his inheritance from his parents to become a gentleman in his own right. He also marries Elfrida, his first wife in 1923- whose account of her husband is mentioned above.

Collis also added stories of other female husbands from the late 1800's and early 1900's and wove them into Barker's story. 'Female husband' is a historic gender category which covers many more distinct gender identities today. A historic female husband could be a butch lesbian, a masculine bisexual woman, a more masculine leaning AFAB nonbinary person or a straight or bisexual trans man by today's standards. Because we cannot ask the female husbands how they would identify today, we have to go by historic record- if they left anything behind. The female husbands were born female and took on traditionally masculine dress and roles usually to get better jobs only available to men and to be able to openly romance and marry women.

Sir Barker's case is a bit unusual because he left behind many personal records. His words are used directly in this book as well. Though the page I picked to share was mostly his wife, Elfrida's words. His photograph was on page 88.

#colonel barkers monstrous regiment #female husbands #female husband #rose collis #lgbt history #victor barker #bisexual history #trans history #my best guess for his contemporary identity would be a bisexual trans man based on what Collis presents? #1920s #early 20th century #England #he did not serve in the war as solider but he was an ambulance driver for last few months of the war #he was still living as a woman during WWI #he's contemporary to the men who did serve as soldiers in WWI since he was born in 1894 #another thing that's unusual is that Barker used his actual surname too (he was born with Barker as his last name) #nonfiction #biography #books #bookblr #read in 2023 #currently reading
