Apparently if you change program on your phone (such as going to google translate to look up what bock is in english) tumblr will delete everything you’ve written.
The yule goat or straw goat is based on Tors goats, which are called Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. The names mean tooth grinder and (the one with) gaps between the teeth.
There are female goats in norse mythology (Heidrun comes to mind) who are specified to be milkable. In the myths we hear of Tor eating his goats from time to time, but he never milks them.
But the biggest reason i find it funny that people would see the goat as a girl is because the goats are called “julbock”, or “Tors bockar”, with bock meaning billy-goat, male goat, specifically.
Gävlebocken means “the male goat in/from Gävle”. I guess it’s kinda like saying “she” about a rooster.
Diversity win! The sacrificial billygoat effigy is genderqueer!

Ya know when people told me “when you’re finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better” I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by “things are going to get bad” they meant “you’re going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it’s working” and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.
Not letting these stay in the tags, damn.
Let yourself be Goop.

Alleviating gender dysphoria, not with binding or packing, but a secret third thing (padding your waist and ribs until they are the same size as your breasts)
I’m sorry but this comment is sending me

I’m not sure what I expected, but seeing people with those toy horses that are just a horse head on a stick so you can “ride” it doing actual horse show routines, including jumps of a height that actual horses would probably think twice about, was NOT it.
and dressage too! That canter pirouette was *chefs kiss*

i used to do this thing when people would angrily disagree with me in a forum thread where i would immediately pretend to launch a text-based rpg called TOWER OF THE WIZARD and provide them with settings and scenarios and prompt action inputs from them and for some reason they would start playing it every time
