This is my St Patricks day.

It's tough to talk about in a nuanced way, but I do think that the belief in a fixed, static "self" which can be understood (rather than the changing mechanisms which dynamically construct selfhood and self-understanding) is kind of a rabbit hole that rarely produces happiness.

OK so this young trans gentleman was cut off by his parents, has been unable to get MIT to up his financial aid, has been working multiple jobs while maintaining an A- average AT MIT (no one does this), but he is gonna need to actually pay his tuition to graduate: www.gofundme.com/f/help-matth...

similarly most populous readerships in literature today consume works with minimal critical faculty built on stable genre conventions prizing lack of grammatical invention, creative narrative or surprising character. most AI-able lit? yet most bookbuyers don't even read. again anyone writing on this

it's less that AI can produce work of quality than that it is testing the care threshold of various major institutions that have been systematically lowering theirs for decades. for instance obviously college students can ChatGPT an essay they give the adjunct teaching 400 students across 3 colleges

Go to bed; tired is stupid.

Marauders and fanfic keeps that odious world alive, and if you can’t give it up for the sake of the people it’s killing, you’re a whiny baby who never learned the empathy or kindness you claim it teaches

Apparently a marauders fanfiction is getting published, and suddenly i’m seeing people say “oh it doesn’t work without the world of hp”. Oh REALLY?!? You kept saying the whole point is that “it’s its own thing now”, and almost unaffiliated with hp, but i guess that was NEVER TRUE

This is an absolute nightmare 😫

*sigh* not me getting deadnamed by the Roy Cooper donation text blast 😭

Like, "It was fun to say and do horrible things to people based on their identities, because hurting them made me feel cool and naughty, but when people say and do horrible things to ME because of MY identity, it HURTS me." Yes. Much room for reflection. Let's spend some time on that.

"Local control" is a lie. Your community doesn't get to decide what represents its values. Your state or the federal government do. "Local control" is controlling everything, down to the local level. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/l...

Though the nyt produces a vast number of words about transgender ppl — far and away more stories than any major outlet this year — it’s been 3 years since it has published any in-depth examination of the hard-right groups like ADF and Heritage that have driven the anti-trans movement.

Three immutable facts: 1. Mainstream media avoids platforming trans people 2. Everyday Trans+ voices, speaking about their own lives, humanise a deeply marginalised community the British press has spent years vilifying 3. Stephanie Lynette is kick ass

I’ve already figured out that almost everything I was buying there can easily be found in other places and often for cheaper so I’m good 👍

It's 2026. Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician. Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist. Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

I don’t even have anything in me to be snarky about the compromises on our rights that have emboldened these legislatures. They’re trying to make mandatory reporters for social transition. I don’t even have words.

I am so fucking sick of hearing about JKR and the wailing people do over "feeling conflicted" about their childhood nostalgia. Move the fuck on, you 35-year-old infants.

Anti-trans groups in the UK wear her face as a mask she funds lawsuits to take our rights away there it's fucking Hideous Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Scuppers when I'm in VC and want to show all my friends how cute she is: Unhand me, villain! Scuppers when I'm on the toilet: Father, I require uppies.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Just came across a guy's dating profile who answered the prompt "In this economy we could..." with "split the mortgage." MORTGAGE??? EN ESTA ECONOMIA?!

I for one am shocked to discover that the internet’s favorite Oscar chasing Victorian child is kind of a twat.

I’m assigning you carbs, and fat. I had better see adult sized portions and multiple meals a day with no coffee breakfast substitutions on my desk by NOON TOMORROW

Live now with @cypheroftyr.bsky.social for some Sunday Sithing! twitch.tv/joriebeez

“It’s weird,” he said. “I just did something that I would think anyone would do. What do you mean you would watch a stroller and a baby just sink?”

receiving gender affirming care (my PCP teaching me how to do a Guy Handshake™)

I request a post-transition English major do-over. If I'd been able to transition in college like I wanted, I would have been so (much more) insufferable in my essays. A menace.

okay WHAT was up with that hockey game. not one player called his boyfriend onto the ice for a celebratory kiss after? 😒

I'm not really on here right now but I just wanted to sneak in a quick hell yeah for all the women's sports I yelled about today (hockey, figure skating, and curling).

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I do not regret to inform you I am openly weeping over the Olympics again

do you know what would help!!!!!!!! living in a society that lets people experiment with their gender without treating it like the most important thing in the world!!!!!!! letting people get it right or wrong without politicising their decisions!!!!!!! just being chilled about gender!!!!!! aaahhhhhh

I don't know quite how to explain this, but I have neither autism nor ADHD, but people often speak to me as though I have one or both? Like I am pretty neurotic, for sure mentally ill, but. Idk y'all. I don't really hold with the dx'd by peer thing.

me: your mental health will get better if you go out and do things with people also me: my mental health needs to get better so I can go out and do things with people

What does it say about my mental state that my main games right now are DBD and Palia?
