i've never seen anyone talking about this but millennials leaving facebook in droves probably caused a massive generational drop in happy birthday texts to second and third tier friends & family
just happy to be here

people who don't want us playing sports with cis women need to spend some time reading reddit threads about how trans women can't open pickle jars after transition. not just because it anecdotally proves a point but because i want these people to suffer on trans reddit as much as i have
Liberals trying to make pro-trans arguments
cis people: it is pathetically easy to pirate NYT articles and recipes, that's how i read the times. and as for the wordle, i dunno man how bout you grow the fuck up
peter hujar's day was a kind of pretentious and joyless attempt at human warmth but it did inspire me as a very immature 40-year-old to see a 40-year-old hujar mumbling and fretting and gossiping like a much younger person
i'm very chill about trans stuff to my cis friends because they are very good generally but it's funny what they will say sometimes. a couple weeks ago one of them was referring to cis women simply as "women", as if trans were a gender in itself, and she didn't catch herself at all—in those moments,
seems like these hard times are actually making the weakest men yet
it's crazy how in america if you are a boy who tries to do girl stuff you'll be treated like you're about to inject black tar heroin
THERAPIST: I understand Rafa Jodar looks uncannily like Anthony Perkins, but what does it mean to you? ME: I don't know, I... just can't stop thinking about it...
something i'm like "reopen the schools" on is the poor understanding of the differences between solidarity and friendship

feminizing God is a pet peeve of mine... usually feels cutesy and/or desperate
"I don't get any engagement on Bluesky". You need to lower your tolerance for engagement. Your whole dopamine system is out of whack. Five likes and one retweet on here is a megahit, i go crazy
THERAPIST: The hyper-sleek, Sharper Image style original American NES prototype could never have saved you. You don't need saving. ME: Sigh....
6. Nolan tries to pack a lot of Incidents and Big Ideas into this film, but they do not seem to me to hang together coherently on the level of his own plot and the movie's constructed system of values. Instead, it's foisting a didactic point about Our Times onto the plot without integrating it.
portland is just the best, man. haters & losers can keep seething

i stepped in human poo walking home from a movie, a lady on a bike passing by evilly laughed at me and said “watch out for that poo” and then her bike tire popped, she crashed, and flipped over her handlebars. hollywood’s a tough town
"For so many trans women in the western hemisphere right now our biggest barriers aren’t losing our rights, they’re proving to ourselves that we are worthy of the effort that is required to thrive." open.substack.com/pub/tr4nbie/...
A Helpless Generation:
No, your inability to do anything isn’t giving Girl, it’s giving in.

mile end kicks was a really fun movie, but it felt strange watching millennial indie kid culture become codified/stereotyped, now recent enough to be "history". Lena Dunham's coverage of the same topics in the era itself feels more vital than any retrospective--which maybe goes without saying
i want to play bass in a band again real baddddd
i love that cis women are so much tinier in real life and trans women are so much bigger, it's cute
