“Just be yourself” can sound like cliché and bad advice, because honestly, it goes badly sometimes. It can hurt. Some people will reject you. But the reason it’s worth it is that when things do work out, it’s with people who really like the real you, and that feels so much better than pretending.

ko-fi.com/deadheadjackal Hey if anyone could help chip in a few bucks, my electricity may run out in a day or two and I'm down to single digits in my bank account right now. If anyone wants to help me put some money on my co-op to keep the lights on through the end of the month it'd be swell.

downloaded a news app and it’s been constant psychic attacks about how everybody just hates trans people lmao

stereotype bear is back with some value/shadow practicing 😂🤎

4 hour train delay is about to be my 13th reason, what the fuck was going on in florida that the train was stopped there so long

just poking fun at how many times i've seen these two get mixed up in the last couple weeks. i totally get it, they occupy the same evolutionary niche (put upon pussy in Situations) but they're different!!! anyway who you fingerblasting

1. In a groundbreaking legal filing, transgender patients, represented by Women's Law Project, have filed a legal complaint against UPMC for capitulating to Trump and dropping trans care. Federal funding threats do not override state law. Subscribe to support our journalism.

i was gonna say “i don’t know if i want to do art or writing for kinktober” but im traveling a bit next month so it’s probably best to do writing tbh

Stuff like this is how we got "pewpew," "unalive," and junk into modern vernacular. Don't let a service or platform take your words from you!

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

A Trip to the Moon (1902), The Arrival of a Train (1896)

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

watching evangelicals (and protestants generally tbh) talk always feels so weird to me. it rly makes me hyper aware of how different my upbringing was lmao

i’ve been getting so many bra ads recently?

I’m not gay but

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

I'm so tired of this puritanical bullshit. Sex is healthy, sex fantasies are healthy, fiction is healthy. I wish people would stop conflating BDSM and fiction with assault. People have fantasies about power. That's normal! Exploring feeling via stories is what humans do!

1. Telling trans people that even if Democrats won't protect us we should be selfless and vote for them to protect other people is a shitty thing to say. Asking for our rights and calling out Dems when they won't support us doesn't help fascists. Tell Democrats to support and defend us instead.

had a dream where there was a genre of music that was popular locally called “electronic frog music”

so scary to get a message saying “guess what this is an onahole of”

i feel like a lot of the weird trans in-fighting would be solved by some of these people having cis friends and i’m being 100% serious

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

i like when a guy is kind of a loser

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal so it needs to be taken seriously

My new shirt design is a very serious PSA that I was asked to make, because apparently a lot of people don't know. roryblank.bigcartel.com

just say you interviewed the guys roommate, why does it fucking matter if they’re trans or not

"Gender Ideology" is do-I-get-to-exist. "Just asking questions" - yes, the question is, do-I-get-to-exist. "Shoving it down our throats" - Existing. "Debate" - yes, over whether I get to exist. "I was shut down by the far left" - when you said people don't/shouldn't exist.

Incredible how without fail the second it's a white murderer suddenly they're a promising young individual who fell down the wrong path

its way too easy to look at the way that the media, politicians, & people with power/influence act towards trans people, especially as dictated by the algorithm, & consequently feel the whole world wants us eradicated, but remember that it’s not true. there are people that love you & you love them

the shooter was an online gamer. it's important for newsrooms to understand video games more than ever. that's where i step in. so umamusume: pretty derby (ウマ娘 プリティーダービー) is a gacha horse racing simulator based on real life japanese race horses. in the world of umamusume, anime girls replace horses,

my guess was that the shooter was a groyper tbh

the groypers sure seem to think Charlie Kirk was killed by a groyper

A white supremacist shit head died and the whole world rallies to lionize him, my trans siblings get murdered constantly because of his rhetoric, fucking crickets. I'm exceptionally exhausted with existing in a world that would clap at my death and celebrate those who called for it.

i love when somebody has one of those Really australian accents

i love it when liberal men make memes about republicans getting topped by their leaders, clearly implying they think bottoming is inherently a bad experience which means they: a) are a bad top b) are sexist and homophobic, and c) weren't on bluesky for the top shortage discourse

Your reminder that 99.99% of the artists you interact with are sustained by a second job or spouse/family, and followers do not actually translate directly to dollars

i hate how many things auto translate, how the fuck am i supposed to get better at a foreign language if you won’t let me see or hear it!!!!! fuck!!!!

Please god learn the difference between "This isn't good" and "This isn't for me, or something I enjoy"
