what people think is hard about writing: describing the joy, love, beauty, grief, loss and hope that form the richness of human experience
what is actually hard about writing: describing basic actions such as turning, leaning over, reclining, gesturing, saying something in a quiet voice, breathing, getting up from chairs, and walking across rooms
I’ll spill out a brilliant, wrenching portrayal of a character’s struggle with grief over a loss and his complex regrets and guilt and then a page later I’ll have to write that a character who’s lying prone raises his head and shoulders up to look at something without fully getting up and I’ll get so angry I want to strangle an eagle with my bare hands
You see, Perry the Platypus, when Vanessa was a little girl, she wanted to take estrogen. Of course, I said yes. And since then she’s always been my little girl. Well recently, Vanessa’s school deadnamed her on her reports! Can you believe that!? I mean we live in a fairly progressive area and—hey, isn’t that not allowed in public schools??
Anyway, that’s when I got the idea for THIS! The deadname-eraser-inator! That way, not only will Vanessa no longer be deadnamed, but EVERY OTHER TRANS PERSON IN THE TRI! STATE! AREA!
Perry spends this episode fixing the wall he put a hole through on the way in
This is great whether you’re a trans doof truther or not.
If you’re not, we still know that doof canonically had to wear dresses as a little boy in a very non progressive society and time period.
And if you are, this means he hadn’t even considered doing this when he got treated that way but as soon as it’s his daughter it’s on sight, which is very in character.

sometimes tumblr is a little culty so if you find yourself thinking that the entire world is an evil and unwelcoming place and only you and your group of tumblr friends are the ones that “get it” it might be time to get offline for a while.
It’s that time of year to say no to the Salvation Army.
Never forget they let a Trans woman die instead of helping her.
Never forget they have tossed entire families on the street for having an LGBT child.
Never forget they tell non Christian families that unless they convert they will not help them.
Never forget that the Salvation Army is bigoted and hateful, many of the bell ringers routinely heckle and harass LGBT couples.

that’s so fascinating about the letter ש (shin) - i’ve been noticing its prevalence in words about time: hour (שעה), second (שניה), year (שנה), and clock (שעון) all begin with ש, as well as the words for change (שינוי) and the sun (שמש). this is unusual, since the letter’s frequency in Hebrew is only 4.77% - and even stranger, it also begins the word shalom (שלומ) meaning peace, and occurs twice in sigsug (שגשוג), meaning “prosperity.”
in conclusion: the letter shin perfectly represents the blessing “live long and prosper.” 🖖
