Couldn't figure out how to pin the original post so.
Why WOULD I pay for tumblr premium when I get quality ads like this???
I'm having a potluck on my blog. You are invited to share in the soup and maybe bring your own to share with others.
Hello! Thank you for the soup. I offer you my own soup recipe, which I haven’t made in years because I developed an allergy to parsnips in the meantime. Also, for a side: if you carmelize onions, drain them and save the butter, use the butter in place of any fat in a bread recipe, and then mix in the onions before you bake, you will have INCREDIBLE carmelized onion bread.
That sounds delicious 😋!
Thank you for sharing
Through frosts and flakes, the dandelions still wake, bright spots when the sun can’t cut it—
Then fade to gray, like we all will someday, grow soft, but not yet quiet.
Our roots will stay but wishes will play: on breath and on wind they scatter—
Small seeds of hope, endeavors to cope, elope with the breeze and bloom after.

Time on its tracks. Hasn’t stopped here since the war, the One inside you. There are things you cannot unsee, untouch. Like her hand on your face and her eyes as she said good-bye. There are things you cannot say. The long ribbons of want, billowing in space and time, and here, where her body once sung over yours. Steam has the strength to move steel, yet dissipate to nothing the moment it left her mouth. Irrevocably. There are things you cannot touch. Time moves through your hands as if a ghost. You never came back from that war the way you left. Your body, the long meadow, and nobody will ever find what remains.

Text: decoupling pregnancy from femininity means accurate and more inclusive language and treatment, but it also allows cis women to refuse motherhood without refusing womanhood, which is great for feminism and terrifying for misogyny.
–THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. As a sterile cis woman who doesn’t want to have children anyway I feel this is every ounce of my being. “Define woman” types tend to do so in a way that excludes me too, so I got to stand with my trans sisters.
Your periodic reminder that “divine feminine” this “magic womb” that is just patriarchy in gauze and glitter. REJECT THE BOX even when it has a makeover.
As a trans man who wants to have babies? THIS

Harm reduction tip:
If you're planning to bite hard, you should not only brush your teeth beforehand (I hope you do anyway) but use an antiseptic mouth wash to reduce the amount of harmful bacteria in your mouth.
This will NOT reduce the risk of infection to 0, it will help reduce the exposure to harmful bacteria.
If your partner(s) are immune compromised, you should NOT engage in play that breaks the skin.
If a bite breaks the skin, "clean it properly" means using antiseptic like benzalkonium chloride, not just washing it with soap and water.
Signs of infection usually appear within the first few days and include redness, hard lumps, heat, and excessive or worsening soreness. If you see these signs you need prescription antibiotics.
for those who may not know: the more times you've had covid, the more immunocompromised you are. if you've had it, especially more than once, it is riskier than it would be otherwise to engage in play like this
