It's Bandcamp Friday for anyone looking to support indie musicians. They waive their fees and the musician takes everything that's not processing costs.

A shot from the X-Half

@programancer.com Just saw TASQ on the second winds show. First time I've watched a trailer since I joined the patreon 6 years ago. Cannot wait for the finished project 🩷

My trip through trans novels has had me on a string of devastating stories with no real closure and it's been rough. Thankfully, that streak ended (finally) with @margaret.bsky.social's The Sapling Cage. I cannot express how much of a cool drink of water this was after what I've been reading.

In blood red place where I'm surrounded by carvings of bible quotes and homophobic stuff, this is so nice

Me: "damn, I just came off a string of devastating novels with no closure. I need something different" Random transfem: "hey! Try A/S/L by @jeannethornton.bsky.social" Me days later, devastated and looking for copies in different formats to treasure: "fuck you"

Wonder if I'll always feel out of place

Putting a trans reading on media that was never intended for it is fun. Madina Lake's Adalia becomes an emo T4T banger

Committing the cardinal sin of converting FLAC files to VBR mp3. In my defense it's like 1/10th the file size and not nearly that big of a quality difference for daily listening

Was a bit emo today on the hike

I need to develop some audacity I think

In light of recent events... #Guiltygear #Bridget #Transgender

It was one of the first queer friendly spaces for me when I accepted my sexuality. It's just the same pattern all online spaces fall to without tight modding. Without fail, conservative trolls will force themselves into tolerant spaces, run off the existing user base, and make it intolerable, repeat

Feeling friendships drift away is it's own kind of depressing.

What is it with trans authors and being sadists about never offering closure on their novels

Anyone else feel the weight of representing the queer community every time a cashier asks if you want to donate to something?

Been reading a lot lately and a few books have inspired me to least try it again myself. Especially after seeing how short the list of books with transfem representation is. Be the change you want to see in the world and all that

@emilystjams.bsky.social want you to know I stayed up a bit to finish woodworking, it's become one of my favorites, and then I legitimately lost sleep wondering if Erica and Constance stayed together. Thanks for writing it

What a world we'd live in if games that fail would open source and drop the IP into the public domain. Starlight Revolver was an absolute disaster of a project, but visually it is incredible. The potential of the assets and IP are high, but it's just going to rot.

Added some stuff to my site. A couple of book reviews (read Light From Uncommon Stars) and I want to share more intimate info, so I added the story of my suicide attempt. In my Gemini capsule I'm very open about myself, uncensored. But my site is more reserved. I want to work on that a little.

So nobody is actually giving discord real info right? You're generating fake creds right?

I needed someone to warn me about the whiplash of hormones because what do you mean I went from sobbing sad to feral horny over the span of an hour?

Up in Shelbyville tn I believe. Hope the person knows they made someone feel something. Had to park and walk into the middle of the street to take photos

How do you tell your friends "I want to hang out and watch movies or something" when you feel like your existence is an imposition?

It's not often I'm just floored by someone's appearance but sometimes I will just sit my head like "I am relentlessly attracted to this person"

Need to find letterboxd for books that's not run by Bezos since I'm back on my book grind

Is there anything more stereotypically transfem than spending 2 straight days staring at a customized terminal window rebuilding half your server rack?

Pretty sure my marriage is on its last legs. Lovely.

Hype about the latest @programancer.com package. Been a patron for a little over 6 years and my pog collection is getting huge. Also the reason I have 2 producer credits on imdb

Finding out Welcome_to_Heaven has stopped making art and shut down accounts is honestly a little devastating. The comics were a cozy part of my online life when I started transitioning.

Found my first mp3 player from middle school RCA Lyra with 128mb of storage. Had 9 files on it. Tong Hua Before Dawn -Isaac Shephard Prelude from FF7 Yuna's Theme from FFX To Zanarkand FFX Tifa's theme from Advnet Children Aerith's theme from Advent Children Kairi from KH2 Missing You from KH2

Updated my site. I streamlined the process a bit just to make my life a little easier and to encourage more regular updates. I make the content with 11ty, rsync the output to my local copy of my git repo, then push the updates to nekoweb. Much easier. I also use the gemini capsule a lot more now.

Doc was ecstatic on my first 3 month checkup. E level was more than doubled my pre HRT level 13 ish hours after my last dose. Moving me to 5 day injections

Here's my hot take of the year. Hot Topic didn't change. It's the same store it always was. It's always carried the same kind of merch from the same kind of properties. It's society that changed. Anime isn't niche anymore, musicians get global audience now, etc.

I know your big truck with claw decals makes you feel so badass, but I can tell by how you hesitate at the traffic circle that you're a little bitch

Friends dragged me to see the new Avatar movie and if AI wasn't used in the story boarding or dialogue then the whole staff needs fired

What kind of drugs do I need to take to feel like I did listening to Naruto openings as a kid

I love that the first gempod I come across is also someone being horny on main. I knew these were my people

Fuck it, I'm turning my gopherhole(geminipod?) into my horny on main dump. If I'm gonna use slutden.net as my domain, I may as well live up to the name and fill it with sluttery.

Why is "please don't buy me gifts" the boundary nobody ever seems to respect?

I need to figure out how I'm gonna get a fursona going. Am I really going back to the blender mines?

Out of an abundance of boredom and due to having a linode that's been stagnant, I have setup a Gemini page. It's a gopher protocol replacement. Currently it just says "nut in me" but I'll add content eventually.

Ong we could have skipped two entire stormlight archive books if Kal just let Adolin hit. That experience would have fixed him

I am slowly losing my sense of self to depression.

Thinking about updating my site and pouring out a whole lot about dysphoria in general

Ever get whacked with gender envy so hard it fully spirals you into a depressive episode

In an effort to get away from google, I switched to Proton for my email last year. Something borked on their end with my custom domain. Support sent 1 email per day to 'work' on it. They never read anything I sent. Didn't fix it, kicked out my domain. Switching to Fastmail and wow it's better

sometimes the dysphoria really hit

I use chess as a time killer but don't actually study it, so when i hit the game review for my bot game and realized that i hit every step of the mate in 6, it felt great.

What happened that started this thing of every company having an arbitration agreement? What regulation got removed
