One time I was getting measured for a shirt and the guy measuring me said "you're disproportionate" and I thought "this is it, he's figured out I'm trans, this is going to be so uncomfortable" and then he said "you have a big neck" and this is my only contribution to Joe Rogan's tie discourse.

AI has done one (1) positive thing which is give me hope that, based on my extreme, visceral hatred of it, I might stand a chance against a succubus or siren or other variety of uncanny pseudohuman. AI is basically an eldritch horror to me and also there are lots of other very bad things about it.

Somehow various Democratic organizations and campaigns have gotten themselves what must be a pretty old contact list with my deadname on it and the texts I'm receiving are not inclining me to donate

My daughter drew this picture of an anglerfish when she was probably five or six and I have it hanging above my desk

I genuinely hate this buddy-buddy shit.

Members of the Arkansas National Guard deployed to DC took a Free DC flag like a war trophy. This image was taken from a video released by the Arkansas National Guard. We do not know where they got the flag pictured here but it is a symbol of opposition to everything this deployment is about 🧵

What would be the problem with cis kids getting hormones and similar when it's not appropriate for them? "They'd go through the wrong puberty and that's bad" Mhmm, mhmm, and what happens to trans kids if they DON'T get appropriate healthcare? Why isn't that just as bad?

"No one seriously means..." or "no one is seriously suggesting..." drive me crazy. Yes we are! We mean that! It's not a bargaining position or empty slogan! I really want trans kids to have access to healthcare and, unrelated but in the same vein, I really want to abolish the police.

I appreciate this post because yeah man it fucking sucks!

This makes me really sad, what the hell

NFL WIFE??????????

You, naïve, a fool: The strippers actually like me and want to be friends with me Me, a genius: The historic interpreters at Colonial Williamsburg actually like me and want to be friends with me

Wow underrated banger from past me

During the work day, my husband only texts me if it's really important

If you want to ask a Gemini to spew brainless inanities at you I was born in late May and I'm right here

I sent some money and maybe you can too?

I didn't know about the Patriot Front connection (I have some experience here as they have periodically marched through parts of DC with police protection) but, and this is not the kind of sentiment I am accustomed to expressing, thank God this lady had a gun. Prosecuting her is beyond disgusting.

I made a Pride-themed gâteau St-Honoré; I'd never made one before and it was a lot of work but it turned out pretty well.

I hate this because of the bigotry but also how mistaken it is; the fact that I gestated our kid is not what I want to celebrate, I love stuff like Father's Day cards. (I don't actually celebrate Father's Day, I celebrate [NAME]'s Day on the second Sunday in November i.e. opposite of Mother's Day)

I stayed off social media for a few months for mental health reasons and it was a good idea but I felt out of touch with the news. Just today I've seen this, that ballot initiative in Washington, and the woman who was arrested in Wyoming. No wonder being here is bad for my mental health.

This is so fucked up on every level

I read this and I think other people might be interested in reading it too. There are many people whose basic civil rights are circumscribed which in this case includes not just arming ourselves but existing safely. What the hell was this woman supposed to do to avoid being subjected to violence?

Solidarity from fans of Orange Mix

Also, social opprobrium is one of the limited non-physical options we have for fighting bigotry; if being a bigot isn't considered shameful it's a lot harder to combat.

Was Scarlett O'Hara autistic, greatest thread in the history of the forum, &c. &c.

Bought my daughter a Skip It and just got this text. I'm very proud.

CW suicidal ideation Not to be melodramatic but I realized if I didn't transition I was going to kill myself and I didn't want the wrong name on my gravestone (I'm fine! This was a long time ago)

I deleted something I posted earlier because I don't want to be a pain, just, please try not to be weird to straight trans people this month

I am slightly checking social media for the time being, as an experiment

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Got back to sleep and dreamed there was an obsessive Hamster Dance fandom and people called them the Hamster Damned

Honestly I'm angry at the people who were repeatedly warned that the murderers were going to do murders and needed to wait for the murders to happen before they got on board with doing anything about it. You're feckless and stupid, welcome to the side but shut the fuck up and stop trying to lead.

I don't know why I keep waking up between three thirty and four thirty but I must say I don't care for it. No sir I don't care for it one bit.

Awake! At the Four AM

I keep thinking about this. A lot of people really do think the goal is electing Democrats and not getting them to do anything, huh?

I saw a post saying something like "Republicans would love for us to focus on primarying Democrats who voted to fund ICE instead of flippable districts" but my goal isn't electing Democrats, it's abolishing ICE, and strategically it's probably easier to replace a shitty Democrat than a Republican.

OK, People Who Are Used To This Sort Of Thing, the South is about to get a lot of snow and ice, try not to be giant dicks about it. They don't have the experience or infrastructure. Like imagine you lived in New Hampshire and there was suddenly a giant alligator in your swimming pool.

I'm going to become the Joker/had me in the first half, what a fucking disgrace and disappointment. Disgraceappointment.

My anxiety is so high I feel like I could vibrate through a wall, good times

The thing that pissed me off the most about that Pod S*mave America clip the other day was that they presented ‘that something needs to be done about the border’ as an indisputable fact that nobody could possibly disagree with. 🙋🏾 I disagree with it. I think it’s all imagined & perpetuated by bigots

A user on Metafilter claimed another user was making something up by saying "there are things I know, and people I know, and that didn't happen" and @mr-roarbert.bsky.social and I are constantly saying to each other "there are things I know, and people I know" when we think something didn't happen

You are not immune to propaganda

Sure you are buddy, you're twelve

Me, the world's most susceptible to advertising person, upon learning it's National Popcorn Day: hmmm maybe I should get some popcorn

The China Inn in Pawtucket. They had the best hot and sour soup and incredible scallion pancakes.

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

Had a yummy dinner now I'm ready for bed, what the hell do you mean it's seven o'clock

DC did not ask for the National Guard. DC does not consent to federal occupation. DC deserves self-determination. This is not “public safety.” This is federal control. apnews.com/article/nati...
