  • It might’ve been caused by some kind of head trauma. Does he have something that might indicate a previous injury?

    I have no idea how to check but does he see well from his left eye?

    If there aren’t other symptoms and it doesn’t evolve he might be ok. (might could be should but I’m not confident enough)

    I have some old rescue cats and yeah they have some scars ^^`






  • It’s not specifically men’s fault.

    It’s partriarchy’s and - its pendant - misogyny’s fault. People that pass as men do benefit from them and thus tend to manifest them more but they’re baked in the whole society.

    People that aren’t men can internalize thoses biases too. Women enforcing other women wearing a shit ton of different outfits are manifesting internalized misogyny.

    I’d argue that there’s also a dash of classism sprinkled on top of it because it seems more of an issue in bourgeois (or at least bourgeois affiliated) settings. I wear safety clothes and PPEs in the shop so not much variety here and there’s no issue if I wear the same outfit I like with friends.

    And even at that patriarchy hurts even the “regular-est” cis straight white men. All that shit about “being a real man”, promoting risky behaviours, shutting down all emotions, etc aren’t good for anyone…

    I hope you had an at least ok day c:



  • I don’t usually anticipate a random garment to become my favourite.

    I try to stock up when it happens but sometimes I can’t find any at a price I’m willing (or able) to pay.

    Having hippie grandma tastes and trying my damnest to buy mostly used clothes don’t help either.

    Otoh I’m getting real good at mending clothes until they fall apart. I have very low standards for home clothes.
