If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Every once in a while, “don’t read the comments” is absolutely terrible advice. These comments are absolute gold!

Y’know, this draws an interesting line, in that people hate us so much that they’ll sacrifice everyone’s rights, including their own, in order to keep us down. I’d be surprised, but I’ve seen this all happen before, post-9/11. Hatred toward one group used as justification for oppressing everyone.

Tag yourself. I’m the people-mover car leaning precariously toward the middle of the track

Holy shit Google, you did not need to go so hard. I’ve been in therapy for five years because of this fucking question!

I named my fists Bert and Ernie because I once thought it’d be rad to be a puppeteer for Sesame Street

Maybe it’s the hormones, but holy shit this final season of Chaos Theory is absolutely wrecking me.

I know it may be hard to find something to be thankful for this year, but remember, there are always cats.

This year, as all years going forward, I’m thankful for chosen family.

hey so if you’re going to a big family gathering today a little reminder “keeping the peace” and ignoring hate is literally how it spreads people ask me all the time what they can do to help trans people and one of the biggest is legit to STOP LETTING TRANSPHOBIA SLIDE in your friends and family

same, but offense

I almost dropped my phone at the third frame. 4 years into transition, I’m still working to come to terms with all of this myself

for the first time in SIX MONTHS signed HARDCOVER copies of BEGIN TRANSMISSION: THE TRANS ALLEGORIES OF THE MATRIX have been restocked in my shop! 🥳

If you want to honor all the trans people we’ve lost, do whatever you can to keep more of us from dying in this currently ongoing administrative genocide. Frankly, cis folks, I don’t give a shit how sad you are about our past, I care about what you’ll actually DO to secure our future.

For the past couple years, my therapist has been asking me what my inner child needs. What did I need as a child that I can do for myself now? This weekend, I finally figured out a big part of it. I just needed somebody to listen. To show an interest in my desires, without judgment.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the New York Times that he longer exists

I love this so much. Turns out the original Metroid manual had *two* notable errors in it, and one wasn’t even fully known to Nintendo for 20 years. I’m honestly trying to figure out my favorite part.

I’ve long used another form of this response. OpenAI and others argue that they simple could not exist without mass theft. I say, if that’s true, then they should simply not exist. It’s not hard.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this, and for me, 3D printing and AI are completely antithetical to each other. And in trying to explain why, I realized in an important distinction I make regardless tools for creatives. (Warning: long thread!)

I had a high school government teacher who would go on the weirdest rants, about truck manufacturing or the human skeletal system or who knows what else. I thought he was just opinionated and rambly, until it started showing up on tests.

Why limit yourself to time? I often have wistful nostalgia for the universes that never came into being because of the choices we’ve made as a species.

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender

I’ve seen this with my own kid’s struggles with reading, and because I wasn’t there for their formative instruction, I didn’t realize what was happening until right now. This is absolutely haunting.

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

This feels... exceptionally relevant today: "We’ve made too many compromises already. Too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again! The line must be drawn here…THIS far, NO further!"

For years, we’ve done the “God, grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man” meme. And we’ve finally, as a society, reached the point where we can rent that confidence for $20 a month

I kinda got two. 1. I can’t imagine my parents even considering buying a set of encyclopedias, but I used them at the library plenty of times. 2. The best time to rent from blockbuster was Thursday night, not Friday 😂

my unironic belief is that transition itself is a holy journey there is so much we learn, so many existentially expansive concepts we both imply and live, such a unique perspective we gain which can only be gained through this process it hurts so bad but we also live richer lives than most humans

To me, it’s no different from any other major life change. I’ve kept a list of “lives” for years, since long before my egg cracked. Every five years or so, something in my life changes me in ways that make me feel disconnected from my past. Like it was a TV show I used to watch.

This is an important read for cis people as well. If trans people struggle to recognize our own dysphoria, and thus our transness, can cis people truly be certain of their… cis-ness? I personally believe that *everyone* should experiment with gender to see what actually works for you.

This probably wouldn’t work everywhere (but maybe? 🤷‍♀️), but in districts like these, the alternatives are typically either republicans running unopposed or democrats trying to win my appealing to republican voters. Neither of those scenarios holds any democratic value, so hell yeah, let’s try it.

Just gonna put it out there before Chuck Schumer floats it: we do not under any circumstances need to use this bump in democrat power to reach across the aisle and meet republicans halfway. They're bleeding; it's time to go for the jugular.

My name is Ozymandias, King of kings. Look upon my works. Please, no flash photography. Any video recording of my works is a violation of federal copyright regulations. Enjoy the show.

Which is especially frustrating for those of us living with a completely real terrifying reality that the news refuses to take seriously.

I'm proud to announce my latest pin design! These are for everyone with split pronouns who gets tired of people only referring to them one way. My lenticular pin shows different pronouns at different angles! Please share with anyone who might like one 💖 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4396... #SciArt

I’ll see your cute bath and raise you these two cuddle bugs

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

I finally started my marathon of every Sandra Bullock movie ever made, and lemme tell ya. Hangmen (1987) is *awful*. But I can see why she made it big, even in her first film credit.

Queer Bluesky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now? Exploring? 39 Came out as trans? 40 (With a bonus side of being sapphic!) Learned I’m ace? 41 Now? 43 No matter how much you think you’re past the point of discovery, that first step can turn into a run very quickly.

We think we have been gone quite long enough...

And if you need this really hammered home, consider *why* people would prioritize food over rent of healthcare: Because dying slowly is better than dying quickly. We’re not talking about convenience. When people can’t afford to live, they have to choose how they want to die. It’s truly inhuman.

If Spirit Halloween knew what’s up, they’d fill every store with frog costumes

This is exactly what so many, both in immigration and elsewhere, have been warning about for years. Read all of this, but pay particular attention to numbers 2 and 3. ICE has orders to detain *anyone* without cause and can refuse to release them even after knowing their citizenship.

Imagine hating me so much that you’d rather make millions of people miserable (and worse!) just to make sure I can’t be happy

People don’t seem to care about history, so let’s try to tie in popular culture. Y’all seem to love Andor, so I’ll put it this way. As a trans woman in America, it feels an awful lot like I live on Ghorman.

Trans kids, Many of you won’t read this, because you don’t know you’re trans yet. You just think you’re wrong or broken. You’re not. You’re beautiful and wonderful. You just don’t fit into the box everyone expects you to. Embrace yourself first, and you’ll find your place. #Letters4TransKids

I wonder what the administration would do if we made AI videos of Trump saying things his base wants him to say. Would they leave them alone, ceding control of his platform to the masses? Would he decry them, risking what “I never said that” might mean to his supporters?
