Got reminded of this post, today. I think I've got the dry wit thing pretty well.

"Don't self-insert about the protagonist too much." This one studies linguistics, literature, psych, and German, likes to do yoga, and eventually realizes they're trans. "OK, yeah, that is eerie. WTF?"

For anyone not raptured, here's something to make you feel better.

He says, unironically.

Well, I'm not seeing anything about people being raptured, so... I'm calling it.

Skimming Welcome to Dorley Hall before really reading it start to finish was the way to go, because some narratives I really have a hard time slipping into. Someone tipped me that the other books are already online, so that'll save time in the future. Anyway, it's hard not to self-insert.

Autism predates acetaminophen usage, and too many cases lack any usage of that drug, altogether. Try again you stupid bullshitters. Autistic people are just human beings, as good as you (and even better, in some people's cases - the average autistic American is better than DJT & RFK Jr.).

If you want to know why there are 2.8 million trans and nonbinary Americans now, you need only look into a mirror. Suppressing information about trans people never stopped us from existing. I grew up without any knowledge of nonbinary people, but lovingly identifying with androgyny. Cis kids don't.

I have a problem with people pointing out that since we love chonky bears or cats, why wouldn't we love chonky humans? You don't want to wake up next to a chonky bear & ask it about its dreams. You wouldn't let a chonky cat kiss you or massage you. You don't text the chonkers with lovenotes & lewds.

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

there should be more lesbian media

For some reason, I feel the need to watch Saving Private Ryan. IDK, something about not a cell phone in sight, just people living in the moment, killing Nazis, because they're antifa, and a lot of the real life Allied fighters were trans.

It's time to crank up the tofu, kale, and water; to wear the clothing and makeup; to crank up the healthiness and cute, as an act of rebellion.

@rubyryder.bsky.social Quick question: I heard in a workshop yesterday that vocalizing can help open up one's openings down below: like vocalizing before & as the toy goes in. In all your research re pegging, has that been found to be valid?

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

American Civil War II: the Squeaquel

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Fresh out today, a new podcast episode about two flops that featured great casts, and turn out to be better than expected.

DJT: "I got Disney to cancel Kimmel." P!nk: "I won't take my family to Disney parks from now on." Checkmate, as often the case, is won with a queen.

I was on Channel 4 News earlier this evening to talk about Scots, domestic abuse, and the joy of poetry! www.channel4.com/news/len-pen...

It terrifies conservatives to call the 2.8 million trans Americans "Americans" because it is a title they can't deny without denying it to themselves for any reason they can cite.

CHON-KY-BEAR! CHON-KY-BEAR!...

It seems relevant to share this review by @diamandahagan.bsky.social of Gabriel over the White House.

this exists it is called thinking

Too silly

So, because patrons will remember that a while back, I shared some favorite clips from the film Renaissance Man, I will let you know that it is currently available to watch on Youtube, free with ads.

evangelicals don't want to "ban sex," they want to rule by rape. (which entails total control over sex and over the bodies of subordinate gender classes & children thry patriarchal sexual authority.) critical difference

I tried kale in the spaghetti sauce tonight.. it wasn't too bad, and has loads of goodness.

If I could have anything fun for my birth month, it would be a Playstation with both of the new Spider-Man games, including Miles Morales. The Letsplays I've seen have been so fun.

@ghostlysable.bsky.social Did you read Welcome to Dorley Hall? I just got done with a preliminary read and wanted to talk with someone about it, if you're game. I'm fine with if you can't or don't wish to. 🙂

truly this is the only response bsky.app/profile/mich...

The sky says trans rights.

For patrons, there is a special discussion on Welcome to Dorley Hall, the first book in the Sisters of Dorley Hall series, written by a trans woman. I had to skim some parts on the first read, because parts were painful: it talks about gender dysphoria and euphoria, among other things.

From now on, will excuse all unprofessional behavior by explaining I am a hologram that uses AI to have interactions with my employers

Went to game night dressed as a pirate, as we planned to dress like a pirate and play a pirate game for talk like a pirate day. I do my best to honor this day, and ye scallywags nay'll keep it e'en in yer black hearts all the year long. I looked amazing. I generally look good in period costume.

@louisathelast.bsky.social The new genders

I get that the streaming services are trying to shock people with graphic visuals that you don't get on regular services, but it's not what the public necessarily wants past a certain age bracket. The Boys and its spinoffs are especially guilty of this, while DC is catching up.

Maisie and Reece on Taskmaster look like cosplayers for a Doctor and his Companion, while the team of 3 look like various additional companions on the TARDIS.

If some of you haven't tried the Diem search engine, it was developed by women and offers a very unique interface for search results. I had some things brought up for me in a book I'm reading, and the response actually helped a lot. It's really impressive.

Meanwhile, here's David Byrne singing Whitney Houston.

Weird moments being a voice actor: someone in a casual Zoom wished for cows you can keep as housepets, like the size of dogs. I casually say with emphasis "Oh, but they do." & the way I said it surprised & delighted one of the group. For reference, here are two tiny, full-grown mini cows.

If this isn't your response to doomerism I don't want to know you
