Today I admitted to someone that I had a crush on them. Now my brain is trying to tell me I can never speak to them again. Stupid brain.

It might seem like a tiny grammatical nitpick, but the reality is gender criticals and their ilk have long-since locked in on "transwoman" being their preferred spelling without exception, specifically because it maximizes dehumanization.

He's beginning to feel safe!

Ended up doing the strangest rescue tonight. Meet (possibly if it's the correct owner) Paco, out for at least two days, injured, but finally safe with food and water until I get him to the vet tomorrow morning.

My name is Emoria Weidner, I’m an author, and you should follow me on Bluesky, donate to my ko-fi.com/emoria to help support my writing, and read my kick-ass trans novel that multiple people have called their favorite book ever at archiveofourown.org/works/79835336. Expanded print edition very soon.

Shark hoodie preview 🦈 We’ll take proper model photos ASAP once we receive the sample in person!! Super excited to show how oversized and comfy it looks worn 💙

Foiled! Decided I'd order a McFlurry and a milkshake to cool down. So naturally the McDonald's ice cream machine is broken.

Watching car restoration shows again and thinking how well Reliant would be doing in the small electric car segment if they'd survived until today.

If you're in Europe your water bottles probably got quite a workout this week. Maybe treat them to a nice bath in the sink as a reward. #WashYourWaterBottleWednesday

How unprepared was Britain for this heatwave? - multiple road surfaces melted. - trains had to have speed restrictions as the rails expanded and were close to buckling. - a bridge in Bristol had to be hosed down to cool it off as it expanded too far and got stuck closed.

I bet you're feeling so hot you'd like to be hosed by firefighters

Honestly, the cloying desperation to find a perfect definition that will exclude trans women from legible, legitimate womanhood has in and of itself demonstrated (almost as well as any materialist feminist can) that sex is social, mutable, and a regime of violent policing.

I may get cancelled for this take, but I have to say one of my least favorite things about being trans is that my country’s government is trying to genocide us. I know a lot of people really like that stuff but it just isn’t for me!!

also fun fact my testosterone levels are actually lower than the average cis woman, I checked! I look like this cause I did a LOT of pullups and drank protein shakes but being trans actually put me at a DISadvantage

Heatwave update. Edison just tried to climb into the freezer.

I need to keep this pinned to my phone at all times. https://mastodon.eternalaugust.com/@pencilears/116642677005687833

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Americans think British people are wimps for complaining about the heat. But what you don't realise is that most British houses were actually built in Britain, a cursed island that hates us.

Hot take: The final fantasy games are pretty good it turns out

@frostnova.tech hey. I just caught up on messages in Aftertasters. I wanted to check in and see if you were OK. I mean I guess maybe you're not, but I'm worried about you and couldn't find a better way to word it.

Don’t start streaming to get famous. Stream for fun.

This book will make you cry multiple times for so many different reasons. https://bsky.app/profile/emoria.bsky.social/post/3mmrntm3abc2c

The late night intrusive thoughts lead to more Trek title cards. Thanks Defunctland.

Might have to stick my estrogen gel in the fridge. I just tried to apply it and it was so warm it was running and dripping off my legs.

Thanks to Defunctland I fell down a Bald Knobbers hole.

I’m glad there is one (1) person who is truly using the opinion page as it should be used

This isn’t even about AI - this is just straight-up misogyny.

omg i love u angry terracotta pig

Both of my hips feel like they need to click back into place. Can someone come help me do that?

Oddly none of these facts are that cockchafer beetle is the OG doodlebug. The German V1 clattering clumsily about the Home Counties seemed somewhat familiar, if rather less cute, and was nicknamed after the bug.

@thelibraryces.northsky.social how are you doing today?

I’ve done something terrible

Guess which silly billy got surprised by her disability disabling her again? 🥲

Usage on @scryfallbot.bsky.social is still really low. It’s only getting a handful of requests per day. I’d love it if people helped spread the word about this tool.

I looked across the room, where the front door had just disgorged an entire Discord server of trans women into the dim light of the bar.
