If you are 18+ and LGBT, GET OUT AND VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6TH. TRANSGENDER RIGHTS ARE IN DANGER.

The Trump Administration is planning to change the legal definition of sex to- “male or female, unchangeable, Unless by genetic testing.” Aka, trans people would be completely erased. They would have no rights towards discrimination, changing their gender, or even presenting as trans in general. If you aren’t planning to vote or you’re on the fence, PLEASE, for the love of god, get out and vote. We have to protect our community.

Trump Administration Eyes Defining Transgender Out of Existence

guys?? please. seriously, please vote. if you aren’t 18 or in the US, please signal boost this or other posts with resources on how to register.

if you’re not already registered, check and see if your state allows same-day voter registration. don’t have same-day voter registration in your state? check the in-person registration deadline for your state. some of them are much closer to election day than the electronic or mail-in deadlines.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE.

and if you don’t care about trans people (like so many anons have been super willing to inform me) please at least take intersex people into account. about 1 in every 100 people are born with bodies that differ from the accepted standard for male or female. this is their literal, actual biology, so no matter how you feel about someone identifying with a sex other than their “birth” sex, we have to accept the fact that there is more going on, BIOLOGICALLY, than just “male” and “female.”

I don’t usually reblog politics-related stuff, but I think this is a very important topic (and not only because I major in Gender Studies). Gender is NOT fixed at birth. There are always variables in everything. It’s the way evolution works. We humans like to categorize everything to fit into binary standards that we think suit our narrow mindsets, but this will always exclude someone or something. No matter how limited our categories/way of thinking are, nobody is going to stop evolution (and I mean that in the broadest term, not just biological) from happening and people need to accept that and move on and live their lives and let others live theirs the way they want!
And if you don’t know about a topic, please do not simply dismiss it/ have a negative opinion on it, but educate yourself, read about it, until you truly understand the thing you are thinking to be against before claiming to be.

Me: You might wanna rethink your „Best of the year playlist“ for the golden anniversary.
Dad: Why?
Me: Blasting „I kissed a girl“ in a room full of 80+-year-old devout small-town Catholics might not go over very well…

University woes

So, first of all, our teaching department managed to not admit anyone to any courses of one of their module (an error in the system prompted that gem) and then I get admitted into one of the courses I specifically told the admin software I can’t attend… I should have transferred to another university for my master’s degree.

(Seriously, ever since we switched our administrative software things have been weird.)

PSA

So I managed to slice open my finger while cutting frozen minced meat (the plastic wrap somehow ended up inside of the meat blob and stuck to it, so I tried to cut it out: bad idea). One tetanus shot later, I’ve learned my lesson. Let your meat thaw before trying to cook with it. Also, raw minced meat is highly infectious. Just… don’t slice minced meat.

Also: it’s not anaemia. It’s fatigue due to being overworked (I study full time and have been the main caretaker of a close family member for the past four years. So it might have been imminent. Still sucks), so I’ll likely stay quite-ish for a little while longer.

Anyway, I’m probably off to bed now. (who am I kidding)

PSA

I’m sorry I’m so quiet lately (expect from my scheduled posts) and even more of a lurker than normally. I’m currently very tired and just don’t have the energy to engage (it’s likely due to anaemia). Will try to do better as soon as I feel better, but for now, I just can’t.

Again, I apologise for being so quiet (but to be fair, I think everyone is a bit quiet every now and then due to a lot of different issues).

So, I’m still having issues with my gaming PC and the Sims (I suspect it’s the ‘new’ graphics card I got as a replacement for the one that died a few months ago- it’s ancient). Additionally, I’m spending a lot of time at my boyfriend’s place (since I didn’t have a lot of time during the last term). So, for now, I’ll have to put all of my current neighbourhoods on hold. But fear not! I will still post some stuff. I set up a low CC Sims game on my bf’s PC and I’m going to play it for the summer (you’ve already seen a few snaps from that game). So expect some random stuff over the next few weeks.

So there’s this girl. Self-proclaimed “honest person” (which she really just uses as an excuse to be rude) and very blunt about it. We were on a college field trip together and at first, I thought it may have been me. She always corrected me on stuff and I thought that maybe she was right and I was just a bit of a “know-it-all”. After a few days and conversations with my roommates, I noticed I wasn’t, that it was her who just couldn’t be wrong. She was also very passive-aggressively rude to me.

On the last day, while we were hanging out in a park somewhere, she turned to me and said, with a very smug smile on her face: “You know, please don’t take this to heart, but… I just can’t stand you. At all.”

I replied: “Yeah, I know. I can’t stand you either.”

The look on her face was priceless.
