Thanks for the question, Anon!

For me, I only go braless at home, even if others are there.

#was wavering between only take it off to sleep and take it off sometimes if i'm home alone but i think the fact that i sometimes wear it to #sleep balances out the equally often taking it off when home alone and puts me right back in option 2

"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on

if you found out that your dad has 120k followers on tiktok what would it be for? what would your dad's tiktok niche be

Surely this cup of coffee will bring all my loved ones near me and also bring back my youthful curiosity for the world and what i can do in my brief time in

it

#this post came up on my dash EXACTLY as i was starting to ponder getting up for another cup of coffee

the problem with having spent too much time on cjeu cases lately is that the naming conventions of swiss supreme court cases seem hugely swagless to me now. yes yes logical systematic names that tell you immediately what year the case's from and what topic it discusses but can we not ALSO have fun little nicknames. "bge 119 iv 202" "bger 5c.260/2006 vom 30 märz 2007" sure you sound incredibly clever if you manage to remember the numbers and letters and regurgitate them at the right moment but where's the swag. the flavor. the joie de vivre. call me back when we start calling them by Words and Names that are as fun to say as idk. faccini dori. grosskrotzenburg. francovich. BANANENMARKTORDNUNG

#sad and woeful state of events #this post is NOT about the content of any of these cases it is SOLELY shallow considerations (which names/nicknames i will turn around #in my head like a favorite smooth rock in my pocket and which ones vanish into the ether immediately) #and obviously there's other courts that have cool names for things i've just got eu law brain on at hte moment #foto-frost ... codorniu ... factortame #Do i mostly like ones starting with f? i do don't i #simmenthal II and van gend & loos also good to say though. my little marbles that roll around in my head all day. #not necessarily with knowledge attached or anything they're just hanging out

“Can you explain this gap in your employment?” I must confess I dilly-dallied. Did a bit of this and that. Yes, I lived an ungoverned life of leisure throughout my youth. But I’m a changed man, I’m to be married and my prospective mother-in-law insists I have an annual income of £500,000 or more if I’m to wed her daughter. Rummy luck. My paltry stipend from my father is a mere £40,000 a month. I am attempting to make up the difference by seeking gainful employment for the first time in my life. This sunglass shack is the only establishment that graced me with a callback.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

So on my posts about racism or transmisogyny, I often see tags that basically say “I don’t understand this but I’m going to reblog it anyway.” If you see a “social justice” type post that you want to reblog but don’t understand?

Don’t.

I know this goes against everything you’re used to hearing on this website, but listen. Reblogging posts you don’t understand is basically the equivalent of blindly repeating whatever you’re told. Even if you’re right, if you don’t understand why you’re right, you could be spouting utter bullshit and you wouldn’t even know it.

When I see “I don’t know what this means but I’m gonna reblog it anyway” it sends a lot of messages. It says that you care more about seeming right than being right. It says that you want good ally credit without any of the work of being a good ally. It says you’re on my side because I can make a post sound good, not because you actually agree with me on anything beyond the surface level.

So instead of just reblogging that post, save it for later. Like it, draft it, bookmark it, whatever. Go to the op’s blog and skim through a couple of pages, see if you can find some context. If the post is old, you could try asking for context in a non-condescending way. “Is this post referring to something specific?” is a lot better than, say, “Does this even happen? I’ve never heard of this.”

If that doesn’t help, do some more research. Google, search tumblr tags for recent posts on a subject, ask people who have EXPLICITLY stated they are willing to educate. Maybe in the process you’ll find more posts with a similar message to the original, but in easier to understand language. Maybe someone else already added a reply that adds useful information onto the op.

And maybe all of that takes a long time. Maybe, by the time you finally understand what the post was talking about, it’s months old and no longer relevant. Maybe you don’t even want to reblog it anymore. Who cares, fuck that post. You learned and grew as a person. That’s more important than looking good on a blog.

no woman should ever have to explain why she doesnt do something to her body.... 'why don't you wear makeup?' 'why don't you shave?' like. thats what i look like. idk what to tell you

when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.

I'm kind of at a point where the "queer spaces" i feel safest in are the ones that have a pet cishet dude or two hanging around
