I love having little past egg realizations where I should have known way earlier that I was trans Tonight I remembered of the time that my then-fiancée was getting rid of a very femme bathrobe and I asked if I could have it instead and then wore it around my old fraternity for years Fucking hell 🤣

Went to check my work schedule tomorrow to make sure I didn't have any early meetings and ended up spending half an hour dealing with emails from Friday afternoon, love a good day off 😵💫
Stat holiday means that I get to finish my deep clean of the apartment and make pickles, which are both fantastic uses of the day
I was up until 6:30 in a fun bout of insomnia, which wasn't my best idea, but in my last moments of consciousness, I managed go change my phone background to this image, so I think it's a net win for me
There's a part in Spider Man Brand New Day where it felt like the movie took me aside, sat me down, gave me some tea and a blanket, and told me what I have needed to hear for a long damn time and overall, that was pretty great of it to do
I wish trans people were a voltron allowed to be separate and unique but able to come together to be a giant robot that wrecks the bad guys
I wish trans people WERE a monolith. With big shooty gauss arrays and a portal door to summon an undead robot horde. Gimme that 14 on all sides armor baybeee
Honestly, this is just a part of me feeling like I'm failing at *gender* I'm so bad at keeping up even the basic routines to maintain myself and I back to getting misgendered regularly, I can't seem to have any vocal training stick, and this is all after surgeries and such, it's such a struggle
Ngl, I'd wanted to go out for the dyke march today, but I'm too much in my own head over how I feel right now that I sorta shut down over it and now I'm in for the evening 😔

I've gained 30 lbs this year when I really wanted to lose 40-50 so I feel a bit like my spirit's been broken
"rom-com" is short for "roman commerce". olives and garum and suchlike
You do not have to use AI for anything. Not because you're scared of it. Not because you hate investor capitalism. Not because it's a shunting mechanism for fascism. But because you genuinely believe in the import, accuracy, and craft of your own work.
One of the issues I've seen a lot as of late is that lazy video creators will see an interesting topic do well and they'll want to make a short of ot because that's where the money is, so you'll see a few good long format videos on, say, the Punic Ports in Carthage, and you'll toss that to an AI
Those little dopamine hits are intoxicating and I think that it's good to see those for what they are and stop before they take a deeper hold on your process, whatever they may be, because it's hard as hell to go back to normal
I've seen creators (example, Hank Green) talk about how they used AI for little tiny parts of their creation process and got a special feeling from it that has ended up taking over more and more of what they make to the point they can't creat without it
Haaaaaaaa, I thought I was tricky getting to bed at 10:15 but instead I woke up at midnight and my body is treating it like a nap so I'm too awake to get back to sleep
if you're not trans then i really don't know if you can comprehend how much of a *disappointment* literally all of society has proven to be for us just time and again proving that the rest of you will always choose to abdicate your morals over sitting with discomfort for one goddamn second
i never liked ken jennings anyway. i never liked the wnba anyway. i never liked womens sports anyway. i never liked harry potter anyway. i never liked the nyt word games anyway. i never liked alice cooper dee schneider and kiss anyway. i never l
welcome to vancouver. our bakery wants to be a condo developer. our condo developer makes $5 million chandeliers. the two seasons are rain and wildfires. our main sports teams are sad or leaving. our famous buildings are all copies from somewhere else. brunch costs $30. i love it with all my heart
I've been in the midst of a several days long anxiety attack that started Sunday night and has been in the background of most of my thoughts since and I'd love a bit of peace, but the world absolutely does not want that for me
Vancouver drivers are just so bad, it feels like the moment anyone makes their way downtown, the part of their brain that really loved Fury Road lights up
does It’s Raining Men imply an entire Water Cycle of Men
I cannot boost this enough. The lack of local journalism is at the root of so many problems.
The cost of losing local journalism is more than just a metaphorical one. A group of finance professors found that fewer local reporters are leading to higher municipal borrowing costs for local governments. Thanks to @rebuildlocalnews.bsky.social for chatting - www.kuaf.com/show/ozarks-...
Why did you transition? Right answers only. I knew I wanted to since I was capable of thought, but I didn't have the words for it, nor did I realize it was actually a thing one could do in an effective way. In 2017, a partner saw all of the signs and was able to help me get started 🏳️⚧️
Why did you transition? Right answers only. I had wanted to be a girl for years but after joining Twitter in 2020 and making a lot of trans friends online I became a lot more comfortable with the prospect of actually transitioning. And then in 2021 I started MtF HRT and I’ve never been happier ☺️
It's Ramona's gotcha day, which means so much napping
A horrible byproduct of the infiltration of AI into all things good in the world is that it's impossible to look up non-mainstream memes from before the era of enshittening
It's been a long week so we are napping this afternoon
