Mom, after finally openning up about her feelings: I keep having the thought that this (identity growth) all seems to have started after you went to Canada... Me: Yeah, it's almost like people can become themselves when they finally escape their abusers. Wild, huh?

Dissociation Poutine

Why are you trans (wrong answers only) My gender pulled a Zariman

Me, approximately 12 months ago: Lol i'm gonna clone our dick and use it once i get healed. this will be hilarious <3 Me, Approximately 12 minutes ago: WHY DID I **INFLICT THIS ON PEOPLE?!?!**

REMINDER You are not "Earning a Wage", you are Selling your Labor. If they want to pay the bare minimum price for a product, then they will get the bare minimum quality. If they want a better quality product, they need to be prepared to pay a higher price for it.

I'm sure this post will get lost in most people's feeds, But if you read this, please consider helping. An extremely important individual to me is in dire needs of some financial assistance. As an artist he is opening slots. You can find his information here. artconomy.com/profile/Koor...

FINALLY! I give unto you... The Asteria! Open Species. Enjoy, my darlings! 💙 #Art

Felt cute today, might delete later. 💅 #OmArt #art

And, to add insult to injury, we were told "Be grateful that you have anything at all, stop being so entitled." All while more and more of what we were promised is dragged further and further out of reach. And then we get called lazy for the fact that we aren't as successful as other generations.

Hey real quick question; what's the tax bracket of your investors and does it have anything to do with why you're writing this article RIGHT NOW???

Being part of a system can be strange. Sometimes you have group therapy to discuss and unpack your trust issues. And sometimes you have to fight with a kid for control of your hand at the store because the last time you let them have pickle-flavored snacks you got minor vinegar burns in your mouth

To the surprise of absolutely fucking nobody. I'm tryin to maintain a community on mine, but I swear to fuck, this surveillance state shit is making me want to gauge the eyes out of every silicon valley CEO. ,,, okay, more than I already did. FFS will you fucking losers cut this shit out already?

unrivaled champion of guess who (1/2)

I know there's a ton of people yelling about the Discord Age Verification thing already, but i'm gonna join in regardless. These folks keep trying to do this under the guise of making children/teens/vulnerable folks "more safe". There is a huge problem with this logic.

Idea for an Isekai: A would-be hero from a sword and sorcery setting and a revolutionary from a cyberpunk setting swap places. Both can hear each other in the form of an internal voice, but when one is asleep in their world, the other is awake

Anyone else having excessively vivid and unsettling dreams whenever they try to sleep lately? .... just us?

Do not turn your eyes away from Renee Good. Do not turn your eyes away from Alex Pretti. Do not turn your eyes away from the masses of human beings ICE has kidnapped. If this is how they behave in broad daylight with everyone watching, my soul screams at the thought of what we aren’t seeing.

So, I've been trying to keep it together, but on New Year's my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Her treatment starts this week. She tells me she has insurance but since the year rolled over she has to pay a max out of pocket. Anything would help, please share if you can. ko-fi.com/voidgio

This is LITERALLY Allen Walker

Why did you transition, wrong answers only Tried to gender twice at the same time and got stuck

Watching people who profit off of stolen and illegally copied art suddenly complaining about having their "art" stolen or copied is just several layers of ironic and satisfying.

Me seeing links to RSVP for direct action protests:

.... 5. Excuse me while i get my hip-- SWINGING IN THIS GROOVY RHYTHM. What, you thought i was gonna joke about being old? I'm 37. Most of this stuff disappeared in 20 years. Technology has advanced that fast, isn't that cool???

First batch of #MenagerieMemes Enjoy!

Think i might fuck around and post some system related memes we cooked up. What do y'all think? SIKE, doing it anyway. Gonna use the tag #MenagerieMemes, silence that if you wanna avoid seeing it. One of these days i need to get around to introducing everyone and/or letting them post.

Ngl i love seeing the cute interactions other systems have between members. It's really refreshing, there's just such so much media that talks about the downsides (and i am WELL AWARE there are plenty, as we also experience many of them), but there can be many cute or funny interactions too!

To anyone who thinks it's funny to suddenly shout at the top of your lungs at random pedestrians while speeding by in your vehicle We here in the Menagerie Dystem wish you a very Speeding Ticket.

Minn, attempting to be smart: well, since the bus gets delayed by traffic, i'll spend the extra money on a train ride that goes direct so we can make our hospital checkup on time! Conductor, ten minutes past when the train was supposed to arrive: ... so it got delayed.

Y'know, i find it funny how whenever people bring up this whole puritanical view of sex, art, and kink in general, ESPECIALLY when they use the bible as justification, but they always seem to forget Matthew 5:29-30. "If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee."

Just Venting here, but every so often we get the indescribable itch to tell everyone within a certain social radius about the absolute goddamn circus going on in this brain. Especially to our Mom. But we all know how it's gonna go talking about mental health with a parent from the 90's, right??

Lobster Rolls

Month 2 checkup complete!! Got some hypergranulation treated and now we know what silver nitrate feels like! Like freezing a wart, but instead of hot or cold, it's a secret third thing. Now to shed flesh like a zombie for a couple days.

Always repostin'

Generative AI becomes a lot scarier when you realize that mimicking your prey is an evolutionary survival tactic that has been proven by nature to be effective in many species

As it turns out, even if you are a multi-billion dollar company, you shouldn't do anything that weaponizes an entire community of people who will prioritize their time against your business until you stop being shitty.

A little over one month later, still don't regret anything, but one thing they don't tell you A little bit after you restart hormones, you will probably get omega levels of horny. Which wouldn't be a problem except WE CAN'T TOUCH ANYTHING YET.

The experience of taking ADHD medication, represented by Magic cards

Had a dream that we were living with the Addams family, and we were nervous about switching in front of them but got barely a blink when it happened. tbh they were more concerned with cousins popping in unannounced en masse for an extended stay than they were about us talking verbally to each other

One month post op!! Had to get our collective ass to the followup exam today (toronto, 3 hours each way), and getting through it was a bit like being a boss in a videogame with zero idea of your full capabilities. You think you're done and then you discover you have a second fucking health bar

Do you ever put way too much work into a conceptual paracosm meant to house your fictional self and also serve as a way to vent your current frustrations with reality in a way that lets you also manifest everything you want to see in the world while still being narratively satisfying? Because same.

Day 12 post op: Still can't find it in us to give a single fuck about regretting this, no matter how gross the healing process is or how much all the swelling sucks

maybe it's the fatigue, but i'm tempted to start saying "That's just the way the cracker jacks" for no reason other than to cause confusion. Chat did we cook?

Got through the appointment and got our dilators! It went very well and we're recovering super fast, and dilation went super smooth!

Day 6: Currently at the clinic, waiting to get catheter and packing removed, and then it's on to the first dilation, then we get to head home and shower!! I cannot physically overstate how fucking PUMPED we are for this! Pain is low and we're feeling better than we have in WEEKS

Day 4 post-op and... honestly don't regret a damn thing. Sure, we're having digestive issues due to certain painkillers. Sure, dealing with a catheter for a bit sucks hard. And sure, we can't really sit down comfortably right now. But that's just for -right now.-

Oh wow a tag I can participate #PornfolioDay My personal interest is non-conforming masculine men. Cis or Trans if they’re dilfy I will go weak. I go by BasicWanton on all my socials. linktr.ee/basicwanton *My Twitter/X acc. is stolen and unrecoverable* #basicwanton #bara

a reminder for neurodivergent friends (and myself): nothing is wrong with you. the systems in place weren't designed for you and it's natural to bump up against that. a win for you is gonna be different than for someone else so don't weigh your successes against others. and cut yourself some slack!
