She did it again! Being a techdif lover first, and then going through accepting being neurodivergent and trans, Natalie's progressive identity updates mean so much to me. There's someone just like me in my comfort show I rewatched dozens of times!

I’ve changed my name: Natalie Gray. (She/her) For me, this change is more administrative than anything else, and I feel exactly the same internally as I did yesterday. This is a bigger change for you than it is for me, so please don't treat it as something requiring congratulation.

A friend sent me this screencap and I keep cracking up. 💀

This year, I am participating in Belfry's Winter Gothamite Exchange! Behold:

I know I've been blocked by some folks, and I've also blocked folks myself, soooooo... Here's a facebook style meme I threw together in Krita that I'm okay with folks reposting and sharing around. Just remember the alt text!

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Fuck you. Die painfully.

Used to do countdowns on Twitter every year Two minutes, ig?

And now…the other one.

My brain just used COVID as the explanation to the "you're in school again" nightmare. Fucking bitch.

Oh, but when I talk for 24 hours straight, it's "infodumping"

@weratedogs.com I'd love to come on the podcast to talk about good dogs in movies This will be my 2nd year making a video titled "Ranking this year's movies by how good the dogs are"

It's the crosshatching for me.

*laughs in archivist* PITIFUL (that is legit shocking tho)

I am the world's bravest soldier I am eating pasta even though it tastes like onion

God, my mental health took a random dip. Feel HORRIBLE.

Look at Kevin everyone

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Followed a bunch of Americans in the last couple of days, now my feed at least is alive.

She wears short skirts I have pin worms She’s cheer captain and I. Have. Pinworms.

I haven't seen any services offering Americans to download/store the entirety of their TikTok data

You can replace the sticker with 2025 and it'll still work for NYE

My roommate’s birthday was in late November, and the balloon has held up remarkably well, but we needed to figure out how to make it seasonally appropriate to match our other decor. I think we did a pretty solid job, all things considered.

Me: “Military propaganda in our media is incredibly pervasive and deeply harmful to our cultural psyche.” Also Me: *chowing on popcorn watching Top Gun: Maverick for the 73rd time this week* UGHHHH big plane go zoom SO FAST-

We have too many horror movies that demonize trans people And yet not one of them has the tagline "There's an end in transgender" What's the point in harming vulnerable populations if you're too much of a coward for puns?

As someone has absolutely correctly noted in the YouTube comments - this is exactly what Shakespeare would have wanted

An exclusive preview!

I just realized We don't really use any of that stuff do we? We love our flags and our microlabels. But somehow I barely see anyone use the circle thingies. Is there a reason? They're cool!

Ao3 tag "Non-Consensual Electroconvulsive Therapy" that's just torture.

@alpacakittens.bsky.social reading about Romanian things in French might've been the weirdest experience of today.

Imagine getting smart election interference. Here they just used "I'll pay you if you vote red". And it basically worked. It worked so much we only survived on diaspora. We're gonna be so fucked in 2028. Unless mass political refugees from Romania? Honestly I am so hoping for refugees from Romania.

Si les données ou les preuves ne vous intéressent pas, vous pouvez directement passer à la conclusion ici. Donc oui, il s'agit d'astroturfing et de manipulation d'algo, en faussant la perception de TikTok sur ce que le public de chaque chaîne recherche. Et TikTok ne semble pas s'en préoccuper.

"this movie was expensive because of VFX" Meanwhile VFX workers: "hey um... Can we please eat this month?"

Barbie Movie Budget: $145 million Marketing: $150 Mission: Impossible – Fallout Movie Budget: $178–$180 Marketing: $150 million All that money, to get the same reused press kit of “Everything is real / no blue screens / no cgi”. Tell me again how movies being expensive is VFX’s faul?

Okay so This is first time watching Teen Titans (2003) thread. Spoilers for 21 year old show ahead.
