wow almost like everyone saw this coming and it was grossly irresponsible to get rid of the recommendation in the first place
PSA: Someone at one of my work's branches has already had a seizure from this movie, so I'd love if folks passed this around before the big first weekend! Might save someone from a very unpleasant trip out
Me: yep
Me: sees trans man not binding and one in a dress
Me : nope!
You didn’t have to draw a trans man with boobs sis, thanks for the dysphoria babeey
if u get dysphoric when u see a boob that’s understandable but its also your problem to deal with n u don’t get to shame other trans dudes for drawing people like them with visible breasts. as much as it sucks, most trans men do have non flat chests and it’s not a bad thing to draw trans men with breasts (unless ur sexualising them, or ur drawing a real life trans man who’s dysphoric about his chest).
also u can’t have a go at op for drawing a trans man without a binder bc it makes u dysphoric n then call him sis. dont be a fuckin hypocrite dude.
anyways good post op
some trans men can’t bind for medical reasons. some don’t prefer to bind bc it’s uncomfortable, and hot, and sweaty!!! some trans men arent that bothered by chest dysphoria!
trans people are not required to attempt conformity to be valid in their identity. no one is required to try and “look cis”. that’s your own shit to deal with.
Thank you for drawing trans men who aren’t binding and who wear feminine clothes, OP, seeing trans people like myself really helps with my dysphoria
I can’t bind because of my severe asthma and pain in my ribs from fibromyalgia. So seeing trans men who aren’t binding really helps my crippling dysphoria. Thanks op (also disabled trans men aaaaaah! 💖)
Also some trans men cant afford a binder, or are closeted, or itt isnt safe where they live to bind, binding isnt a necessity v
Also trans men, just like cis men, are allowed to wear dresses.
and if you have big boobs binding gives you small boobs not a flat chest
also thank you for drawing plus-sized & disabled trans men <3
Flautist Melissa Jefferson plays slaver James Madison's 200-year-old crystal flute in the Library of Congress.
a few notes:
--this is apparently a piece that is very difficult to play
--this flute is keyless, which requires the player to use extremely precise finger positioning
--Lizzo is wearing two inch acrylic nails
the runs at the end are both stunning and flawless!
Cool. The flute is cool. But I got some more info that I feel is important.
That's James Maddison's flute. James Maddison owned over 100 slaves. Due to debts he had to sell land and slaves over his lifetime. By the time of his death he owned 36 slaves. No slaves were freed during his lifetime or in his will.
The power that this successful Black woman has over his legacy right now.
Not just playing his flute, but shaking her ass while playing his flute.
Oh, the white supremacists are so mad.
You know how often people play instruments that are hundreds of years old? Instruments are made to last hundreds of years. They're preserved through use. First chair violinists in major orchestras often use violins that are centuries old.
My aunt owns and sells instruments both young and old, and it's a huge dishonor to the memory of the creator to demand that the instrument go in a museum never to be used.

Something really cool about this video is that Lizzo is usually in really extravagant outfits, which is awesome to see! But we as fat people are expected to over-perform gender and be dressed to the nines just to deserve basic respect. If we're seen wearing baggy pants and a simple shirt, we're called slovenly, lazy, ugly. So I love seeing Lizzo being able to wear not just the extravagant outfits but also outfits like this that are a "fuck you" to every fatphobe who thinks fat people must put on a performance to earn basic respect and dignity.
Not only is Lizzo playing James Madison’s crystal flute, she was invited to by Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress and the first actual librarian to have the job since 1974 (she was appointed in 2016). She is also the first woman and the first African American to be the Librarian of Congress.
She invited Lizzo by @ her on Twitter because she saw Lizzo would be in town for her tour. Lizzo spent three hours touring the LoC and looking at historic flutes in the collection.
Carla Hayden was previously the head librarian of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, which is the city library organization for Baltimore. She kept the libraries open during the Freddie Gray riots so people would have a safe place to bring their kids.
She’s a cool lady and I hope more people get interested in the LoC and it’s holdings. They have a lot online and you don’t need to make an account to look.

my sister works in a restaurant and has taken to saying "do you think that's normal?" every time someone says something rude or is borderline harrassing her. fully doesn't engage except for telling them to Reflect. Look Inward. i'm obsessed with her.
it’s so fricken windy that Jesus got fully picked up blown across the yard
wait I should clarify that this is about our über-cheap nativity set. our lord and savior did not, in fact, materialize in our front yard just to get tossed across it like a divine tumbleweed
