fingers in his ass sunday
Because treating people fairly often means treating them differently.
This is something that I teach my students during the first week of school and they understand it. Eight year olds can understand this and all it costs is a box of band-aids.
I have each students pretend they got hurt and need a band-aid. Children love band-aids. I ask the first one where they are hurt. If he says his finger, I put the band-aid on his finger. Then I ask the second one where they are hurt. No matter what that child says, I put the band-aid on their finger exactly like the first child. I keep doing that through the whole class. No matter where they say their pretend injury is, I do the same thing I did with the first one.
After they all have band-aids in the same spot, I ask if that actually helped any of them other than the first child. I say, “Well, I helped all of you the same! You all have one band-aid!” And they’ll try to get me to understand that they were hurt somewhere else. I act like I’m just now understanding it. Then I explain, “There might be moments this year where some of you get different things because you need them differently, just like you needed a band-aid in a different spot.”
If at any time any of my students ask why one student has a different assignment, or gets taken out of the class for a subject, or gets another teacher to come in and help them throughout the year, I remind my students of the band-aids they got at the start of the school year and they stop complaining. That’s why eight year olds can understand equity.
Tell them the air is halal too
Can someone tell me what Halal is so I know how much to eyeroll at these people + learn a fact?
Basically, food allowed to be eaten within accordance to Muslim religion. So like, eating pork, or blood, or alcohol, or any other impure foods or beverages is not good, so not halal. And due to the changing world and types of food, theres basically a board of people, probably big who determine if food is considered halal, and my assumption is that toblerone was cleared for safe eating by the board.
Animals that are killed for halal meats, are killed quickly and painlessly and given a prayer. Kosher meats are also considered halal. And vegetarian options are almost always halal unless they contain alcohol.
Halal is to Islam as Kosher is to Judaism.
Also both methods of slaughter have been shown to be more humane than standard slaughter practices.

when people use “you messed with the wrong fandom” as a threat
It’s funnier because we all know there’s only one fandom that does that but if we mention it specifically, they’ll do just that. xD

trans guy: i feel dysphoric
cis ally: ur literally the handsomest manly dude guy bro dude man i ever seen before in my life my guy dude! just because you’re biologically a woman doesnt mean you aren’t super manly and handsome!! honestly wow your jawline is so sharp cut me with your jaw daddy father sir
for cis people asking what they should say, here’s a few suggestions:
- don’t overdo it (the reason why this example is Bad is because the cis person overuses all these masculine words and it’s too extreme).
- don’t say anything about how he is ‘biologically a woman’. never mention that to a trans person. ever.
- don’t shower him with compliments. yes, one or two might be good, but he isn’t asking you to confirm that he looks male (most of the time).
- do show sympathy. tell him you’re sorry that he feels that way and try to comfort him if you can (and if you try to comfort him, refer to the points above this one so you don’t do anything wrong).
- do ask if you can help. if he says that you can’t, leave him alone till he’s feeling better (or maybe try to cheer him up by changing the subject).
- do tell him you’re there for him, if all else fails. if anything, you can make him feel better by reminding him that he has a friend.
I really like this post because it’s honestly really helpful and doesn’t shit on cis people for being ignorant in this situation.
This is some real shit. I have some cis guy friends who react with “you’re so manly and check out that beard and blah blah blah” and while I appreciate they are trying to help…. it’s also not helping. Those tips though are very much on point. Do those things. Especially asking if you can help in any way.
I’ve been reading through the notes and I just have to say that I absolutely promise, promise, promise you that nobody in the dental surgery is there to judge you, and we’re certainly not mad at you. Cavities happen. Even to dentists. You think your dentist has a mouth full of virgin teeth? Unlikely! They’ve all visited eachother’s surgeries to get a quickie filling (ooh, saucy) between patients. They understand that life can get in the way of oral hygiene sometimes. They understand that life’s too short not to eat chocolate. They understand that you’ve got to live. I swear to you that everyone in that room is just there to help you. Please, please, please don’t stop going to the dentist because you’re worried they’ll be mad at you. It’s really not the case. They understand. It’s fine. It’s really, really fine. Please go to the dentist. I promise you it’s ok.
This post might be the reason I finally visit the dentist after 3 years of fearful neglect
