Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

companies rushing to replace artists with AI is imo the ultimate smoking gun evidence that corporate executives and tech bros are deeply bitter that other people can create inspiring works of art while they never have and never will create anything of meaning

You could die in a freak accident tomorrow, so I think you should wear a diaper or bite your girlfriend or try on a skirt for the first time today. We weren't put here to torture ourselves or each other.

The books I've been reading and reviewing lately! I added a reviews section to my website, since I've been leaving Goodreads reviews for recent reads as motivation to get through my TBR shelves and piles. If you want to see what I thought of these, you can check it out here! zoeyhedman.com/reviews/

On this Trans Day of Remembrance my message to all my trans friends and community is simple: LIVE and THRIVE The combined might of the most powerful governments and richest people in the world are aimed at our destruction, yet we persist. They can't stop us from being ourselves!

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

There's a bunch of kids having a bouncy castle birthday party in the backyard behind mine right now, and while all the kids were loudly announcing their pretend superpowers, one girl screamed "I HAVE PRINCESS RAGE, I'M TOO ANGRY TO DIE." You go, girl.

The elder forest god who gave me my powers and I saw you from across the ominous mist and liked your vibe

wishing all of my 20-29 yo a very 30s so you can stop caring what ppl think of your art, your kinks, and your life and to live it to the fullest with all the cringe in your heart. To finally hear your knees pop as you run in the rain with your friends and your lower back hurt after a diaper change>

Nothing is sacred.

Every single trans writer or artist can see themselves in the story of Isabel Fall. Especially if your writing is subversive or transgressive in either way. I can't stand the way she was treated, and I can't stand how many otherwise good people were easily tricked into attacking her.

everyone needs to grow the fuck up and start playing pretend with toys

no bathroom nobember

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

The Matrix's answer to the question "what is a woman" is "idk really fucking cool?"

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

Don’t fear octosausage. Octosausage can’t hurt you. Don’t believe me? Just look at that little hat!

I had my first rough encounter with transphobes in the wild yesterday; four macho guys outside of a little Cuban bakery. Got a mix of hostile jeers and laughs from all of them, and one of them called me a puto, which is more-or-less "faggot" in Spanish (technically the masculine word for whore).

Made a little friend today!

2010 was 15 years ago??? someone who's 15 now is born in 2010?? covid was 6 years ago?? what the fuck even is time

I'm okay with big tent politics as long as trans women with machine guns are in charge of the tent.

I see people respond to stuff like this with 'so you put your community's rights above all others???' type attempts to rebut and, uh, yea. Like, yea, that's not even a question? The safety of my community is issue one, if you're sacrificing that we are not together.

and filled with bed bugs

omg there should be a forcefem novel set at a newspaper called Times New Woman

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer. Not one. To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

I'm swinging by a ton of little free libraries lately, and it's so much fun. I slip Magic: The Gathering cards into all the books I leave so that anybody who takes them will have a fun little surprise bookmark. And today I found a Pokemon card in a book, so someone out there is matching my energy!

“title your new project”

Joy is just as important as survival. The world might be cruel, but that doesn’t mean you should only exist in a state of struggle. You deserve laughter, comfort, adventure and love. Seek out things that make you happy, no matter how small.

Your IKEA product is your name, spelled backwards, with an umlaut. I'm Yeöz, a set of little stairs for storing rows of kitchen spices in your cabinet!

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

A recent selfie I really like. Emerging from my lair!

Trans love is my weapon. Trans joy is my shield. My siblings, I love you beyond measure.

A Pastoral Love

I'm seeing so many cybertrucks in South Florida lately, and they really are the ugliest fucking eyesores imaginable. As if a rift opened up from a crappy N64 racing game and dumped all of the identical low-poly competitors onto the streets.

every trans person I've spoken to is feeling the Drag Down right now. not everybody has fallen into despair but we're all feeling it creeping in around the edges, doing our best to fight it. things are bad. if you know a trans person, look after them.

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

This is the greatest event ever lmfao.

all this censorship talk is pissing me off. i want to see everyone get freakier right now. i stand in solidarity with sex workers and porn artists. i want to give a giant “fuck yeah” to the ABDL community. kinkshamers are fascists. it’s textbook fascism

My problem with everything is that I know For A Fact that the purpose of life is frivolity. It is to fool around & pursue joy.

i think every girl should be issued an obedient murder of crows upon reaching the age of 12

Visited a super adorable little free library today! It was jam-packed Tetris-style, and I scored a V.E. Schwab book!

me after reading 100 consecutive "trannies are a threat to the nation's purity and must be exterminated" headlines: wow why do I suddenly feel so depressed for no reason

The harsh crackdown on anyone who doesn't properly mourn Charlie Kirk and pretend he was a good guy is polarizing me more and more in the opposite direction. He was a vile, hateful little man who wanted people like me lynched. The more you scream at me for pointing that out, the more I'll say it.

queer artists drawing bellies, drawing broad shouldered women, happy trails, the curve of arm fat, wrinkles, scars, stubble, girl dick and t dick, cellulite. I see so many things that we're supposed to be ashamed of rendered lovingly, with intent, not just "all bodies are beautiful" but with desire
