As someone who was OBSESSED with Rurouni Kenshin as a teenager, THIS. Hell, Kenshin was my first cosplay! Also as a former fan of Father Ted...this. Again.

"As my friend Julian puts it, only half-winkingly: 'God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation.'" --Daniel Mallory Ortberg

Happy N7 Day!

It's still honestly surreal that Nanotyrannus is back. My favorite deeply unsettling Wayne Barlowe piece is relevant again!

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula

Nanotyrannus coming back like...

Y'know, back before I transitioned and thought I was a bi guy, my gay friends would tease me by saying "bi now, gay later." It's funny, because it turns out they were right, I just wasn't gay in the direction they were implying. ♀️♥️♀️

Created a new Tinder account because I was bored. Clearly listed myself as a lesbian. About a quarter of the profiles it gives me are MEN. Deleted Tinder again in under 10 minutes.

Y'know how people say that foxes are cat software running on dog hardware? My paleo headcanon is that compsognathids were cat software running on bird hardware. I mean, just look at Sinosauropteryx. You can't tell me it wasn't a little gremlin who would knock glasses off a coffee table for funsies.

So apparently some people believe that comet 3I/ATLAS is a UFO. Yawn. Unless they're Lesbian Vampyres from Outer Space, I am wholly uninterested. If they are, though? I'm not averse to being abducted... 🫦🥵🦇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=83W9...

I'VE FOUND IT AT LAST

Seriously, fuck Gavin Newsom!

I feel like transgirls who get bottom surgery need a little more heads-up that day 1 of dilation is gonna have their pussy looking like the not-quite-final girl in a slasher flick. 💀

Realistic Indiana Jones movies 🏺😁

this implies the existence of a Yaoi Gagarin

120 years ago today saw the description of the most famous dinosaur in the world, as well as Albertosaurus, which shares a cozy tie with Deinonychus as my all-time favorite dinosaur.

San Fran! I have arrived!

Me: *splurges on blurays so she can have plenty of stuff to watch while she recovers from surgery* Turns out the Greta Gerwig Barbie movie arrives on the SAME DAY as my surgery. I feel like there's a deeper feminine-empowerment read to that, but I'm too deep into my self-bimbofication to get it.

I'M not about to foster-fail, YOU'RE about to foster-fail!

I call Sabrina my "5G Meower," because she's a Goblin, a Gremlin, a Ghoul, a Goober, and my li'l Gorl. 🥰

Once again, if you consider yourself an "ally," you're making calls to your representatives right now. RIGHT NOW.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I need to learn how to like...dance normally. I can do flowy goth dancing, and I can do stompy rivethead dancing, but I don't know how to just...dance normally at a club where people have elbow room to come up and dance with me.

Okay, I bought my badges for DragonCon and Frolicon in 2026. America is now legally obligated to stay functional enough that both events take place, and safe enough for trans folks that my hormonally-enhanced ass feels secure in attending.

First time I got to watch a @cafefoxtale.bsky.social stream and she gave us this banger of a quote, so I just had to

Which one of you keeps trying to summon me?

So @rokhanna.bsky.social is the latest Dem to throw trans people under the bus and 'bravely' come to the defense of the bigots calling for violence against us. Defenders of bigots are no better than bigots themselves. Ro, you're a bigot. Get bent.

Bless you, @dragoncon.org for standing up for real artists.

@ascension-atlanta.bsky.social at @dragoncon.org is so good I wrecked my favorite pair of boots on the dance floor! F in the chat, y'all!

Co-signed.

Before I transitioned, I hated that my hair would naturally curl into fancy, springy ringlets as it grew out. Now though? Literally one of my favorite things that my body does. 💜

DragonCon next week! If you'll be there, look for Drunk Venat from FFXIV and you'll find me!

The first time I watched Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim and saw Gren, my only thought was "y'know, if there were real life drugs that feminized men I'd probably be interested in taking them." Well, as it turns out... 🥰🏳️‍⚧️🥰 (the signs were always there!)

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE ALL-TIME BANGER THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD m.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-A...

Possible Hot Take: While 1956's Godzilla: King of the Monsters isn't nearly as good as the original Gojira it was recut from, it's still good in its own right. I'm a sucker for that "War of the Worlds" style newsy storytelling in horror.

POWER. A U T H O R I T Y .

"Harmless and stupid, the grotesque Diplodocus asked only to be left in peace." Me too, Diplodocus. Me too.

Just pick a random Godzilla movie out of a hat!

Slightly diminish a band: Powerman 4999

Had a visit from Chosen Family over the weekend! @kathnotkathy.bsky.social and her hubs came to visit to help me pack up my apartment and we went on a shopping spree across Atlanta's best bookstores. It was very therapeutic, and I am now flush with fine sapphic literature!

OH MY GOD YES! Never thought I'd see the fucking day!

the humble sporkian

Me at 35: "It's too late to transition, the HRT won't be as effective." Me at 40: *passes after 2 years of HRT, even on days she goes out with no makeup and forgets to shave* IT'S. NEVER. TOO. LATE. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

That cat's zoom'n 🐈💨💨💨 Happy International Cat Day to all our kitty friends! 🐱💕

2 or 8, so that I can be as far away from Don Callis as possible.

My transition in a nutshell.
