sometimes i want to go completely off my meds and go back to therapy just to get a proper diagnosis because when i forget to take my meds and when i'm not on meds my moods swing like nobody's business but the only thing i've been officially diagnosed with is social phobia
do u have an aesthetic tag on ur tumblr?
if u do, post the most recent image in the tag here

Blaming sexism on depictions of women in art or media is victim-blaming. It is the exact same logic utilized when a man defends his sexual assault on the woman by blaming her dress. It takes the responsibility for the bad behavior off of the shoulders of the person exhibiting those behaviors and places it onto the shoulders of a concept, where there can be no harm done. The man gets off the hook for his behaviors, and the concept takes all of the blame.
Saying that teens are more likely to become sexist after seeing women posed or presented in a particular format is also victim-blaming. Whether you deem the poses or clothing “realistic” or “reasonable” is irrelevant. The pictures depicted are those of the female body. Commentary on the depiction of those women’s bodies in this format has the net same result as making those comments about women’s bodies in the first place.
Telling girls that we need to depict them completely clothed in “reasonable armor” looking as masculine as they possibly can in order to prevent themselves from being sexually assaulted, hit on, or mistreated sends the exact same message as telling teen girls that they need to cover up because they’re riling all the men to do things they don’t want to do.

did anon talk about tumblr adding a real block feature finally?
ok you know what? This an actual legitimate thing
Furry is a fandom like any other. Unfortunately it is one where the negative aspects of it are taken by public media, and pretty much hung out for all to see and laugh at. Imagine if they did that with yaoi or slash. Or imagine if Jimmy Kimmel wanted to do an interview on Homestucks, and took a kid in the LOL BUCKETS stage who skipped to Act 5 and put her on the show to represent the entire FANDOM.
Then imagine a bunch of TV shows talk about the How to Train Your Dragon fandom, but instead of bringing up the amazing art an cosplay, they insinuate that we all dress up like Dragons and fuck each other.
THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT IT IS LIKE.
Now imagine, you like cartoon animals. Maybe you like the porn, who cares. Its private, and I’ve seen WAY weirder in other fandoms. We know you arent LITERALLY fucking your dog, so who cares.
But the other fandoms laugh at you too. They think its funny. They think its funny when you try to defend yourself. They think its funny when you get angry. They think its ok to laugh at you.
You know what?
When members of my family saw my fursuit they assumed it was sexual and thought I was making costumes for people to have sex in. They were worried and disgusted.
Do you have ANY idea how awkward and uncomfortable it is to have to reassure your family that no. I am not, in fact, going to use this thing in sexual encounters.
Imagine if your family saw that you were in the Supernatural fandom, and automatically asked to see all the Dean and Castiel porn you had, automatically assumed you looked at it, automatically assumed it was any of their business.
Fursuits are fuckin art okay? They take a long time to make. They are incredibly DIFFICULT to make. They are expensive to build or buy, and they are hot as FUCK to wear. On top of that a good portion of fursuiters dont talk. Its legitimate fucking improvisational performance art. And it is CONSTANTLY reduced to merely a fetish.
Theyre cosplay on HARD MODE. And UNLESS you are wearing a Renamon or Toothless quadsuit, you’re obviously going to fuck someone in that tonight.
I’m not saying fucksuits don’t exist. All I’m saying is that I’ve been in the Furry fandom for like 5 years AND IVE NEVER SEEN ONE. IVE NEVER SEEN A FURSUIT DESIGNED FOR SEX. BECAUSE THEY KEEP THOSE THINGS IN THEIR BEDROOM. IF THEY TAKE THEM IN PUBLIC OTHER FURRIES GET PISSED AND TELL THEM TO PUT THAT SHIT AWAY.
Fursuits are fucking expensive. Would you have sex in a $2000 costume thats itchy as hell? Fuck no.
You guys have sex in your cosplays all the time right?
ITS LOOKED AT LIKE WE ARE STUPID. OTHER. COSPLAYERS. LOOK AT US LIKE WERE BEING CHILDISH AND STUPID FOR LIKING CARTOON ANIMALS.
I don’t understand why putting hours of work into one costume is any less respectable than another simply because one happens to be an animal.
And for reference? Only a small handful of furries even have suits because theyre so fucking expensive and hard to make or obtain. Or maybe we do have them, but its so fucking socially accepted to make fun of someone for liking two legged talking animals that we hide them and never bother mentioning how long we SPENT ON THE FUCKING THINGS.
Do not even PRETEND other fandoms dont have porn.
Do not even PRETEND other fandoms dont have WEIRD, QUESTIONABLE PORN.
THIS IS TUMBLR. IT IS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR PEOPLE TO POST PICTURES OF A 30 YEAR OLD CHARACTER MAKING OUT WITH A 15 YEAR OLD CHARACTER.
Don’t even PRETEND that there isn’t a negative side to EVERY fandom.
Furries just have the unfortunate reality of having literally our darkest corners CONSTANTLY shown in the media.
When M rated incestual underage fanfiction of Dave and Rose goes up on fucking Letterman and none of you complain about it misrepresents your fandom, you can shut your mouths about this kind of thing.
Because its a pain in the ass.
And damn right we are allowed to complain about it.

I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again -
Menstruation is caused by change in hormonal levels to stop the creation of a uterine lining and encourage the body to flush the lining out. The body does this by lowering estrogen levels and raising testosterone.
Or, to put it more plainly “That time of the month” is when female hormones most closely resemble male hormones. So if (cis) women aren’t suited to office at “That time of the month” then (cis) men are NEVER suited to office.
If you are a dude and don’t dig the ladies around you at their time of the month, just think! That is you all of the time.
And, on a final note, post-menopausal (cis) women are the most hormonally stable of all human demographics. They have fewer hormonal fluctuations of anyone, meaning older women like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would theoretically be among the least likely candidates to make an irrational decision due to hormonal fluctuations, and if we were basing our leadership decisions on hormone levels, then only women over fifty should ever be allowed to hold office.

There’s no shortage of groundbreaking new technology at CES, but even among a sea of cutting-edge gadgets, every year we still manage to stumble across something that makes everything else we’ve seen look like a fossil. This year, it was Scio.
In short, it’s a handheld molecular spectrometer. We’ll get into why that’s amazing in a second, but for those of you who might’ve missed the Kickstarter project, Scio allows you to scan practically anything — foods, drinks, pills, plants, and more — and get detailed information on the object’s chemical makeup.
To do this, the device uses an age-old method of materials analysis known as near-infrared spectroscopy. Basically, this process involves shining a near-infrared light onto the surface of a given material, which causes the molecules to vibrate and bounce back light in their own unique way. This reflected light is then collected and passed through a spectrometer (think of it like a prism) that separates the light out into all the different wavelengths it contains. By analyzing the unique optical signature of the scanned material, it’s possible to determine what it’s made out of.
This technology has existed for decades — but before Scio, the average spectrometer was about the size of a microwave, and also quite expensive. So while Consumer Physics certainly isn’t the first to build a spectrometer, the fact that they’ve managed to shrink the technology down and fit it into a keychain-sized device is incredibly impressive.
But of course, making a portable, consumer-oriented spectrometer is only half the battle. Without any context, molecular scan data is useless to the average Joe — so Consumer Physics has also designed an accompanying smartphone app that helps you make sense of all the readings Scio takes.
We definitely had our doubts about how effective it would be, but when we took it for a spin on the showfloor at CES, we were impressed with how fast and accurate Scio is. We scanned a handful of different over-the-counter pills while we were at the booth, and no matter what type it was — coated capsules, liqui-gels, or just regular old pills — the spectrometer identified the drug within seconds.
It can also identify a variety of different foods, household chemicals, and jewels — and Consumer Physics has only gotten started. Their database is only going to get bigger from here on in, so Scio’s range of potential uses will continue to expand over time.
Unfortunately it’s not available yet, but we expect it to hit the market by the middle of 2015. We’ll keep you posted!
