omg im not cute stahp

I'm always momentarily surpprised by how stupid and childish and totally unqualified for their jobs or for participating in society that they are. But its a bit like being surprised that all the cyclists you know have nice calves or all the geologists you know have good outdoor boots, isn't it?

maybe there could be a checkbox to opt out of Windows 11 AI features that says like "I'm sorry, I have people who love me."

this is a deeply significant point

More Indigenous Australians died in custody in NSW this year than ever before Coroner decries ‘profoundly distressing milestone’ as state surpasses yearly record after only nine months, with expert saying tough on crime measures compounding problem www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I dont know how unhinged or uncommon this really is, but I don't think literary fiction is genuinely distinct from genre fiction, and i think the standards are often much lower not bc there isnt transcendant literary fiction but bc when genre fiction isn't amazing, we all know and laugh about it.

Today, I'd like to say- The Taino were the people of Borinquen. Borinquen was later renamed to Puerto Rico. Some Taino words remain today. Words like hurakán = hurricane, barbacoa = barbeque. The Taino greeting is Taino-ti Which means - "I greet you with love because you are family."

Rest in Power Miss Major. We all owe you so much. Thank you for everything.

Someone get me a young person, i need to tell them how it was a neat lifehack/tip that if you wanted to memorise a string of numbers you could make it easier by turning it into a phone number in your head

the modern "they were roommates" is "trans people are just a socially constructed recent Western phenomenon" like oh ok. does that apply to cis feelings of gender too? i guess no.

The Straw Hats sign saying "Our turn" referencing the overthrow of the Nepalese government 💜

I understand hating cringey white ppl joking about slurs in a way that's just offensive. But the idea we need to practice empathy to LLMs bc it makes our souls better is fundamentally anti-human. & the idea theyre alive isnt even worth considering. Anyway heres the actual context 4 this discourse

i was offended at first but now i think Comrade Watson managed to make JK Rowling expose herself to people who aren't familiar with the robert galbraith deep lore and thought she was closer to being a normal person than that

linguistic question... if you hear "lesbian relationship" do you interpret it as communicating that its between two women, or do you interpret it as specifically saying both women are lesbians? i'd assume the first, but i wouldnt assume neither may be bi/pan. is "lesbian" different as adj. vs noun?

Vigil against political repression in Indonesia, in which the Australian government is complicit. Straw Hat flags representing. The rally was called by Melbourne Bergerak

how insane of us to think he might've been killed by the people who tried to kill him that other time omg its a bubble the left is the same as the right there's actually no difference between good and bad things

I think we need to be very clear & unambiguous about saying: making fun of a dead fascist is free speech, being a bigot is not free speech and it implies you cannot be in a workplace. Hate speech is bigotry. Nobody should be fired over remarks about Charlie Kirk unless they were supportive of him.

I was struggling to think of the way to express this. I was attacked 2 weeks ago by a guy who didnt like trans ppl, an act Charlie Kirk called for. Violence is core to Western society. Its who we are in Australia, its who you are in the US. Stop talking shit. Noone cares abt ur underwhelming empathy

Charlie Kirk was a dangerous terrorist who called for street violence against people like me, its a shame there was no justice system to bring him to account but it's not a shame that he can no longer harm anyone else. I am paying attention to who mourns this advocate of violence, murder and hate.

My thoughts are with the LGBTQ+ people that suffer in Utah and die by suicide weekly. It is suicide prevention day today and I give zero fucks about Charlie Kirk. My best friend is a lesbian with religious trauma and struggles with suicidal thoughts, I choose her over that demonic man. Good riddance

A girl kissed me on Friday night and it might be the most amazing kiss I've ever had. Like i literally felt dizzy afterwards. Now im just like trying to figure out how to say "ive been thinking about you all weekend" without coming on too strong. I feel so hopelessly gay. She's so pretty and cool.

We don't need research into how to biomedically "explain" trans people. Nothing that research produces could possibly be useful information for any conceivable purpose. We need research into gender affirming healthcare.

Does anyone have recommendations for cosy trans gay comics with supernatural stuff in them? Ive read Galaxy and Mooncakes and seems like im pretty gay.

it seems really obvious from the evidence already in the public domain that Trump was less of a client of Epsteins than he was a business partner involved in making the trafficking happen. But ppl keep referring to a client list, so Is it generally understood in the US that he was an actual partner?

"Delayed gratification" means you are being conned, take it all now, take everything. It's a lie. Get paid upfront. Form a union. Take over your workplace. Dont listen to a single promise they make.

I'm so sick of these lobotomized mummies shitting in my living room and calling it debate. I want so much to spend my life and energy doing literally anything but being mad at these freaks.

The UK is doing to gay people in immigration cases what they do to trans people in medicine. Country run by disgusting people.

I want to stress this—the research I’m talking about didn’t just show that the feminine boys were reacted to more negatively than masculine boys, but more than girls, too. Feminine and masculine girls.

Oh we're going after Abigail Thorn today apparently. For connecting the genocide of Native Americans to the genocide of Palestinians, but in a didactic teacherly mode that's insufficiently explicit for some other youtubers. I mean you can just search her posts for the word Gaza, she's not a zionist.

Unfortunately one of the symptoms of a contusion is feeling sleepy so i literally have no way to assess whether I should be worried :/

I got attacked on the street today, physically fine, kind of anxious how it will affect me mentally. Would be grateful if other trans people have advice. Dealing with emotions associated with knowing you're in the part of the social heirarchy where people can treat you like that in the open.

I hope he's suffering.

you shouldn't just purge transphobes from power because it's the right thing to do you should purge transphobes from power because transphobia is the single greatest indicator of incompetence and mediocrity in modern society.

So... I just get the feeling, right, that cis people don't think what they've done is beyond the pale, disqualifying from the left, the end of their run, etc etc. Like... the party's over, isnt it? Who do they need to start stripping rights from before people think it's over?

If you see this post, do it Pronouns: she/her Height: i can never remember Shoe: 11 Zodiac: ♋️ but actually ♊️ if you know what i mean Smoke: im a lightweight so i have to dilute it with tobacco Tattoos: 0 (but one deep scar from my late cat that i treasure) Piercings: 0 Fav drink: creamy soda

so nobody has to click on a UK Guardian link. This guy should be fired. This is an adult. Like, an adult man, with a high-paying job. This is so fucking embarrassing. I checked, this worm has written some Guardian anti-trans shit too. This is the quality of person stripping my peoples rights.

The alien queen is not a Disney princess. "Disney princess" is a specific marketing brand of an anti-gay, anti-trans company. It doesn't refer to "a female character in a property that is somehow owned by a bigot company". Otherwise the Queen of Hearts would be a Disney "princess". Think, people.

i kept doing this accidentally before transition and almost gave up on writing because i read too much second wave proto-TERF stuff and became convinced i was apropriating other peoples stories lol

stop motion creates this uncanny dread that is just unmatched in the world of special effects. see also Kali in Sinbad

I hate my job more than I could ever put into words. I just don't think rich people deserve customer service. Every second of my day is a waste of time and resources on people who just don't deserve consideration or accommodation in society.

when the feed shows "no new posts"

im just refiguring out my sexuality and its a little concerning. Like on the one hand starting a message with "hey girl" just makes me melt and im basically theirs. On the other hand i think she might have outright asked me out but I cant tell so I'm playing it safe and not making any assumptions.

trans womens status updates: "god i love women. i love being a woman." jk rowlings status updates: "womanhood is an ancient curse forced upon us, the most wretched of the species. nobody could possibly want this."

accidentally spent the last few decades training myself to look away from other peoples gazes, and now random people are being nice to me and trying to reassure me they won't take my rights away but i keep glancing down instead of smiling back. How do you fix this.

i wrote an essay about the objectification of Lara Croft that said that people having that argument often overlooked the importance of young men identifying with a capable female character and projecting themselves into that role lol that was just you sweetie

This is why i could never respect journalism.

before transition: "i cant attract anyone how do i change myself to whatever it is they want" after transition: "i cant attract anyone bc they're not refined enough to see how cute i am im surrounded by people with no taste"

feeling cute because of a new top second-hand from a friend
