Absolutely losing my shit at the limited edition metro card I got today

i don't have anything fresh i want to write for TDoR because i don't have my mental health in a place for that right now, but have something i wrote ages ago for a Facebook audience of none cis people

this and no capitalism

The UPS prelim report is out, and Jesus fucking Christ

unless Dolly Parton is on there I don't give a fuck. some of us are normal and don't develop parasocial relationships with politicians

Pretty telling for someone to admire someone you think could be in there. Like, I am pretty much 100% confident that Greta Gerwig is not in there; and that should probably be the bar for admiring someone

Wired headphones are fucking terrible and make for bad tech, move on

My opinion on American foreign policy is that it would be nice if America had one.

in fact, we are called hysterical for worrying about it and of course, demanding representatives stand up for us on it is such an unbelievable ask that we are blamed for the party losing elections

quite apart from anything else, he looks unbearably fucking stupid with facial hair

Vindicated in my decision to be a fanatical Mac user since the days of Myst on CD-ROM

I still don't know who Olivia Nuzzi actually is, and I do not want to learn, but if I ever published a single paragraph as bad as one of the ones I've seen bouncing around this site, I would kill myself

called out on main

The NYT would/might/will absolutely both-sides extermination camps

dude i can't express enough how much not voting for gavin newsom im gonna be doing

There is a trend of video game narratives where women are prominent to be overly focused on motherhood and the 'natural' nurturing urges we're all supposed to harbor. It happens even when the woman in question wears power armor and blasts aliens with a giant arm cannon.

what the fuck do you mean, vance's motorcade hit a police officer that was also in the motorcade has anyone ever lost the mandate of heaven this hard? have the fates ever made it this obvious?

My newest essay on Mentour covers an asshole pilot who got lost, and a bullied FO afraid to point out that they were going the wrong way This is a study in confirmation bias and arrogance I hope you like it

Actual groomers are running the government and suddenly she doesn’t have anything to say

This novel called me out ten times per page. If I wasn’t openly trans when I started this book, I would have been by the time I finished. It felt so real I screamed into pillows that I couldn’t have found this ten years ago.

Go fuck yourself! God, trans women are such fucking exhausting gatekeeping mean girls “If you’re not into these eight things you’re not a real trans” “You can’t be into anything popular if you’re trans” Seriously, shut the hell up; let people fucking enjoy things.

American media going out of their way to not describe this accurately with the headline “Sitting Republican Congressman Raped a Homeless Child”

Look, I will say one thing about my transition, which is that I never really had to struggle with what I wanted my gender expression to look like I watched Barbie, and I saw Hari Nef, and went "yeah, my gender is gonna be that, right there"

we are also about to have a reckoning in regards to how normalized it was up until like ten years ago to want to have sex with--and indeed, have sex with--teenage girls. it is hard to describe how normal of a desire that was until very recently.

Goddamnit, why did Taylor release a trailer in PORTRAIT?!

you should be operating strategically as though every conservative is a Nazi at this point. like, they're not all going to be Reinhard Heydrich, but all of them are going to think Heydrich is doing a good and necessary thing, so to speak.

I know two things as a fact 1) what is going to come out will be far more damning than any of us can possibly imagine 2) nothing will come of it or change in a material way

Short form video and algorithmic content has not only destroyed attention spans, it has flattened qualifications, so everyone appears equally able to talk about any topic. Someone with four years of medical school and a decade of experience has as much sway as a granola mom filming herself

The underbelly of every parent of a dead trans kid saying “social media did this” is them saying that the internet made their kids trans

WE GOT A GOOD MAYOR WOOOOOOO

Thank fuck, this entire city has been edging for a week

nobody that works in this administration has ever felt imposter syndrome not one single second of it, between all of them, collectively

My DJT supporting step mother once posted this unironically for Veterans Day and when I told her it was from a movie she got SO FUCKING MAD at me for disrespecting Da Troopz

The centrists and pundits are also invested in making him seem like a one in a billion marvel hero, and not a random citizen with charisma and values who decided to step up. There are people like him everywhere! In every city! You probably know someone like him! Our future is in those people.

Being 39 going on 15 is exhausting and embarrassing in equal measure

building a tight five minute standup set about the time two rednecks roughed me up in a parking lot

Michael Shannon cooking with gas here:

I’m so fucking glad I didn’t watch baseball, because I couldn’t have handled that AND this fucking municipal election snorting fucking venlafaxine every time a new round of ballots is counted

I really truly love being a writer and a queer advocate, and I fucking hate that doing so pays about a third as much as I made moving bullshit around powerpoint slides for a big 4

[through gritted teeth, visibly trembling] I must strive to maintain a sense of whimsy

Given today’s court case, I would like to reinforce that I really love it when women marry women

“The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards justice” How long, bro I’ve got 30-35 years left if I’m lucky, when do I get to see some fucking bending

That’s fine, I didn’t want that life changing surgery next year to be covered or affordable anyway

"we are going to win" fucking when, man. i have a finite fucking lifespan. when? tell me fucking when or quit fucking saying this, please. i am so fucking tired.

I came out a few weeks short of my 38th birthday, and I genuinely never imagined I’d get to look this pretty

My newest Mentour video covers an engine fire and evacuation Features the bravest crew member I’ve ever studied, and a lesson into why you should listen to evacuation instructions

Whelp, the new @theabigailthorn.bsky.social video seems laser targeted at me, a transsexual mermaid, specifically.

He was doing his best, fighting through a cloud of pain and disconnection he never understood. He stumbled through life fucking up and thinking misery was the default state and that only constant effort could keep the happiness in sight. He had no idea he could be happy all the time.

Well, I have fucked up at work, so it is time for me to decide I am worthless and never worthy of writing again. Time to go under my desk with the lights off and my autism soundtrack going
