“i was merely being transphobic, i wasn’t weaponizing it” is certainly a take

Chiming in on the Dr. discourse. I’ve been pretty fortunate with my doctors but it’s largely because i do the research for myself, tell them what i want and am lucky they are willing to just go along with it. I am scared though of what will happen for emergency procedures.

Psyop doesn’t mean marketed by bots

If only there was something I could do with all these e tablets I have leftover from before I started injections that expire in August...

Google chat on a Mac not having “minimize to taskbar on close” is infuriating. I know I should just hit the minimize button but every chat program I‘ve used back to the 90s had this feature to avoid accidental closure. I can’t just unlearn 30 years of habit that easy.

Me: “I’m going to write a wholesome sapphic romance with medium spice” Also me: writes pet play into the first spicy scene

i sometimes hate missing out on books that are amazon exclusives but i just can’t bring myself to order from them these days. self publish exclusivity should be regulated out of existence.

Ah yes, Nixon who was famously never linked to the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction

Not to read too much into a single election but I really hope the Hungary results indicate a shift in the tides against the European right that has been expanding this past decade.

I know we’re all supposed to whine about the demise of uptown but I kind of like sleepy uptown. I don’t really want it to be a busy bar district combined with an outdoor/indoor shopping mall again.

Is it too weird to have sex scenes with characters who won’t end up together in a queer romance? It would be fine for a serialized story, but in a single book it seems more like something that just isn’t really done. I kind of want some more spice up front than this narrative would allow otherwise.

Why writing off everyone who doesn’t perfectly align with your politics is a losing strategy. Few people have politics that align perfectly to a specific framework/platform and most people can be swayed in one way or another. We need them swayed to our side and that is done through joint struggle.

I think one of the appeals of fantasy romance is that it doesnt end the moment the couple gets together. There’s usually at least a big epic battle/rest of a heroes journey left so you actually get to see the couple be a couple without getting bored that nothing‘s happening.

After how much time I’ve spent shuffling between the dr, the dentist, and the physical therapist the past few weeks I better be healthy for a while.

I refuse to stop using this site like it’s 2016 and we just share our random thoughts and observations. Tired of the weirdly serious yet irony pilled internet

remember when some asshole made up game theory and everyone just went along as if it was a totally legitimate framework?

The latest Dorley chapter made me ugly cry in the bathtub. Thanks a lot @badambulist.bsky.social

so close to being able to rinse my mouth out again after having my tooth removed. 24 hours with no rinsing or brushing is so nasty

I’m so glad I’ve already blocked the majority of people y’all dunk on

Feels like years since I went to a Walgreens where the pharmacy was adequately staffed.

Just got this new fountain pen ink, Platinum Citrus Black, for my yellow Lamy Safari and it’s awesome to have a yellow that is actually legible without perfect lighting.

Higher ed isn't "out of touch" because it's not career-training-focused enough. Higher ed is out of touch because most faculty and administrators are from multi-generational academic families and received elite private educations that left them incapable of understanding normal people's lives.

It’s fucked up that trans healthcare is still easier to access without long waits in much of the US than in the EU countries that are supposed to be super lgbtq+ friendly. Why the fuck do people need to visit a gender clinic? Just let regular doctors prescribe hormones with informed consent.

I love how the losers running this place have basically decided to skip straight from early Twitter to the slow sunsetting of Tumblr without any of the money-making in between just bc they're pissed off they attracted fags & furries instead of other crypto losers.

Considering bluesky was vibe coded aren’t we all kind of supporting AI by using it?

It’s almost like ”separate the art from the artist” was just an excuse to reify predominate social structures by making sure awful people never face consequences for their actions.

Nudity without sexual intent is not an example of someone harming you you puritanical weirdos

Growing up going to a Unitarian church with pagan parents, we would go every week except Christmas and Easter so we could dodge the overly Christian services.

Being “color blind” or “gender blind” or any other oppression-blind is like being nose blind to the smell of dog piss in your rug. The smell is still there and your only friends who still come over are the ones whose house also smells like piss.

I don’t think it can be overstated how many of our society’s perceived virtues are based on generational trauma from past wars.

I hate “resealable” packages that have stronger sealing mechanisms than the glue that holds them on

I love the monster trope where by trying to be human, the monster starts to actually become human, and often is thus rendered vulnerable. I find the concept that trying to be human makes us human fascinating.

Here’s my favorite pens right now. The inks are all from the Diamine advent calendar this past year if you see a theme.

I Asked Claude to Generate 10 Jokes About Pete Hegseth, Tradcaths, And The Hundred Years' War in the Style of Dennis Miller and None of Them Were Funny. AI Is Just That Good.

person who thinks it’s unfair for the ASPCA to use images of cute animals to raise money to help save animals that aren’t as cute

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using with no explanation.

I love my fountain pen hyperfixation partly because wanting to use new inks and pens encourages me to write more of my book and do more art.

One of my favorite conspiracy theories is that the CIA didn’t trust Reagan‘s union background so the first assassination attempt was a chance to implant a device that could stop his heart to keep him in line. Disclaimer: I am not saying I believe this, I am merely stating that it is interesting.

A huge pet peeve of mine is text files on a multi platform system that have a .txt extension. Keep that nonsense to windows where it belongs

Allies on TDOV: I feel the pain of everyone Allies the next day: Then I feel nothing

An underrated aspect of skirts and dresses is how much cheaper it is to replace underwear than a pair of pants with a hole in the crotch.

If he believed it he wouldn’t be getting literal brain worms from eating raw pork

It’s a bit of a catch-22 between how can you be visible without protection vs how can you gain protection without being visible. I don’t see how we turn back the tide on anti-trans oppression by hiding but I understand why people are so disillusioned with the day given the moment we are in.

What is the worst cursive character and why is it the capital G?

A nu-metal saxophone quartet called, “All Day I Dream About Sax”

It feels a little rude that Trans Day of Visibility is the day before April Fools

The confused look on a cis person‘s face when they complain about a health issue that is commonly related to hormones and you ask if their doctor checked their levels.

We need to win people over to our politics, not water our politics down to win people over.

9/10 times posts whining about “leftists” are the dril inventing people on the internet to hate tweet
