happy twin peaks day 🌲🥧☕️

This is the other thing. If you talk to trans people, regret at not transitioning earlier is almost universal. Meanwhile, no one has been able to produce any evidence of kids being rushed into premature or inappropriate transitions beyond anecdata connected to right wing activism.

relatedly I really believe we should be charging the O'Hare premium fare as an airport surcharge on flight tickets rather than at the farebox

we should unironically give ventra cards to all hotel guests and just tax them for the cost of a daily pass

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

the boy who got everything he’s ever wanted is back to cry more about getting what he wanted

this clip is so fucking funny lmao

In retrospect this had a way larger effect on me then I ever could have imagined.

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

thank god we live in a world that has yuri. can you imagine what that'd be like. a world without yuri. id rather fucking die. it would not be worth living

Makio and Asa #ikokunikki #illustration #art

Kuzushiro's new manga is an absolute gem. These two are so married already.

LMAO

there are many reasons Ikoku Nikki is such a standout to me but Asa's truly painfully realistic grief throughout the whole show is so palpable that it is like you are actually feeling it right along with her

I knew what moment the episode was building up to, but that unfortunately did not stop me from sobbing my heart out at it all over again

The only bad thing about Ikoku Nikki is that they decided to translate its name to "Journal with Witch", its so bad...

Every time someone refers to it as journal with witch I take ten damage

honestly i think if your cover has the words "a trans anthology" on it, then there's really no need to use any kind of visual shorthand to signify that the figures are trans? it says trans right there you can just draw bodies however and people will know "these are trans bodies" cuz it says so

christianity is a blatantly patriarchal project and is thus inherently reactionary thanks for playing

if an instinctual subconscious response to this is "but can i trust trans women to depict themselves Accurately and not in an idealized way?" do you hold this standard for anyone else, including yourself? this is a form of paternalistic misogyny. sorry to be harsh. you are not the arbiter here

there's no shortage of trans women artists drawing trans women in beautiful and dynamic ways. once again failing to represent trans women with love and care in your heart is a skill issue

The reason they are forcing this tech everywhere and pushing it so hard is because they want people gathering surveillance data for them constantly and I hate that you sound paranoid pointing this out.

I actually don't think it is very difficult to signify that trans women are trans women in art. Spiderverse 2 managed it with a character who isn't even trans.

Good morning

every time I see a trans person super hornt-up for AI and other tech bullshit I'm like "who hurt you?" and then immediately I go "oh, right, society and everyone in it" followed by "still, fuck you tho" in succession

these two statements together are also my political philosophy

One day political scientists will learn what a false dichotomy is and the entire field will evaporate like dew in the morning sun.

the Kudo Method

Honestly "ahab for ghosts" is a good description for Jin Kudo's appeal.

They should be dragged from their offices, their salaries seized, their tenure rescinded. They should be cast from the academy, their publications retracted. Their name should become anathema within the field.

Every administrator, every board of trustees, every president, chancellor who bent the knee to Trump and his cronies should immediately be stripped of their position and driven from their institutions.

Most parents have to grapple with their children, queer or not, finding their own identity and interests growing up, but Esther Ghey has really latched onto the idea that a social media ban would have prevented her daughter's death (by preventing her transition).

Well I'm glad it's being made explicit that that Esther Ghey views her daughter being killed in a hate crime on the same level as her daughter retreating into social media to find other trans and queer friends to cope with a transphobic offline climate.

I missed this and now I want to punch my laptop screen. archive.ph/W8NCV

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

the left needs to seriously engage with yuri

i'm a yurbanist (i am of the belief that safe walkable and resiliant communities allow yuri to flourish)

i mean... lol

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

same part of my head as

Extremely underrated qrt of this post that I've had saved since it was first posted (from pre-anime btw)
