had a dream I went to a hozier concert and mr. hozier stopped singing and pointed to me in the crowd and asked me to go get him some extra crispy tofu and a blueberry shake for after the show and then the crowd passed his debit card to me and when I got it I could see his real legal name was Horace Bob-omb

Knowing that it was Rhianna Pratchett and Rob Wilkins to fight for the final 90 minute episode rather than Amazon trying to grab as much money as possible/cut their losses actually exhilarates me! It's like I've been given free rein to enjoy whatever comes out of it guilt-free. Honestly, after sleeping on it, this is the best outcome I could have hoped for, and certainly I didn't dare hoping for anything like it 3 months ago.

The well-meaning 101-level phrase "trans men are men" gave people the wrong idea that "trans men are men, and therefore are equal in patriarchy to cis men, and are therefore acceptable targets for our frustration with the patriarchy."

If any of that were true, Nex Benedict would be alive.

Yes, we are what we identify as, as a basic tenet of trans theory. But to act like the patriarchy agrees is just wrong-headed and bonkers. The patriarchy views us as deluded women.

Transmascs experience misogyny. Which in our case weaves into anti-transmasculinity.

Dude I'm not even an anthropologist I just have an interest in it

And yet I still manage to forget that the majority of people don't think about the human species the way anthropologists do

 Stop pretending. You know who I am. It's, it's me!

Indulgences or something…

once i beat the depression and the burnout and the anxiety and the loneliness and the exhaustion and the guilt and the awkwardness and the apathy and the low income and the chronic illness and the impatience and the vulnerability and the creative block and the capitalism and the cruelty THEN you'll see

I genuinely love anthropologists so much

At the start of one of my many attempts at uni (we're no joke on number seven) I took an anthropology class because it seemed cool. This was at the absolute height of the popularity of Bones so the first lecture was literally standing room only, fire hazard levels of packed.

So the professor comes in and I cannot express enough how much this man was actually round, not tall, greying, balding, and literally wearing a three-piece tweed suit with a little red bow tie. He was the most perfect human being I've ever met.

Anyway the look on his face when he saw an actually packed lecture theatre was one of sheer unbridled glee. Natural, right? His dinky little subject is suddenly unbelievably popular.

Which gave him the perfect opportunity to talk about pissing for a solid hour. Because that was his specialist subject. Comparative urination etiquette.

This man who was the Platonic ideal of a humanities professor stood there and talked enthusiastically about piss to a packed to the rafters lecture theatre full of bright-eyed first years, and as this was a Monday morning it was almost certainly many people's first ever university lecture of their whole life. His eyes were glittering with joy the whole hour. He was having the time of his life.

There were absolutely no questions at the end of the lecture. He, apparently having fully understood what he was doing, clearly expected this and instructed us to have a lovely day and wished us good luck on our higher education journey.

You could sit anywhere you wanted in the lecture theatre the next week and the lecture was intro to methods in anthropology.

I don't think I could ever love a man more than I still love him.

and i don’t think i’m wrong for saying it either.

i think there should be an episode of doctor who where the doctor returns to a time when police boxes were common and then forgets where he fucking parked

lesbian much ado. let’s talk about it

This is absolutely catastrophic.

This makes total sense because it feels a lot more like a Prachett book than a Gaiman.

THIS IS SO FUNNY OH MY GOD

I thought Tumblr might like this

This makes me really want a 11/12/River episode where 11 is traveling with Amy and Rory, bumps into 12 & River and gets jealous. I already think 12 wouldn’t like 11, and 11 wouldn’t like that 12 doesn’t like him, but adding River to the mix, 11 would just be sulking in the corner like:

Also I desperately need 12 and Amy to meet.

I love you samosas. I love you empanadas. I love you pasties. I love you dumplings. I love you pirozhkis. I love you savory food in a convenient little carb purse.
