Happy International Day of the Potato! A Latvian phrase similar to “liar, liar, pants on fire” is the rhyming melis, melis, kartupelis. It means “liar, liar, potato!”

Read on for more international idioms (and some rehashed jokes) about potatoes (a thread)…

Wild pansy 💕

The wild pansy goes by many names, which an early reader of this 16th century herbal has added, including the particularly lovely 'heartsease' #Readers #Herbals

it's truly wild just how many cis people fail to realize that the vast majority of trans people *do* consider, at extreme length, whether or not they could just be butchy, masculine cis women or feminine cis men

and then conclude those specific terms don't fit who they are

opposite but same (same but opposite?)

would I have been ok as the butchiest butch woman to ever have butched? maybe

was society ever going to see anything other than "tiny asian girl, so exotic and feminine"? hell no
