it's so odd that the idea of being confident in oneself never occurs to these ppl. many times i've been told that i should be a girl and my answer is simply that my version of masculinity is different. just do that instead of keeping ppl with real gender dysphoria from receiving the care they need

friends, please share ❤️👹:

everyone who follows my bsky account between now (1:08PM EST) and when i’ve crashed into bed with my yasso bar (8PM EST) will be entered into a raffle for a free full edit of 3k words or less

i’m tired of being unpopular

lfg

i'd like to think that i'm the beauty!

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass.

You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

still my gay horror romance about a cult escapee and the trucker who picks him off the side of the road. liminal highways and bleached bones in the desert 💀

looking back at my promotional efforts for dudes rock and i truly ate this lmao

I THINK this is all the books in my flat that are by/include trans and/or nonbinary authors, except my partner's near-complete collection of the works of Alexis Hall. (Almost - there's at least one book each by McQuiston and Yoon Ha Lee that I forgot until I'd already put these back on the shelves)

eveyr time i see a photo of a hockey player's legs post game half out of their gear with their gross long socks on their hairy legs still on i feel like a feral beast. literally victorian man seeing ankles moment

thank you for this lovely little review! witchy, sweet and sharp, kind but sad… exactly the emotional flavors i was trying to mix in “you visit a witch”

Two Fic Tuesday for February 17th Hi, hello and welcome! This week I'm leaning into some witchy, magical vibes. I found both of these stories lingering in my tabs and happened to read them on the same day. They were a great duo, and ...

A few days late, but I did shout about some stories on Tuesday! This last week was a little witchy, and definitely wonderful.

We had stories from @jelliclejay.bsky.social and @tjohnstone.bsky.social Please come over and take a look at some lovely stories.

so happy that our ogm is an adult whose terms for coming back to the sport were that no one will control what she eats or wears, and the silver is another adult who's spent her long rise to the top of the sport supporting every single one of her competitors, including the new gen taking bronze

a photo that perfectly captures how much the culture of figure skating has changed in just 4 short years

This really is a great picture:

i am of the opinion that the most interesting thing you can do with two fantasy cultures is give them both bigotry and harmful societal structures that just operate differently and in clashing ways and this tends to inform most of the things i make up about dwarves

guys. guys there are crazy developments happening in size difference homosexuality over there. guys u have to lock in

heyyy

i dressed up to go out but this look was better lol

i'm quite comfortable in the knowledge that my hatred of timothee chalamet stems from the fact that i'll never look how he looked in cmbyn. pissing me off all by urself white boy??

it's soooo hard to be a real figure skating fan online during the olympics. so fucking hard. u guys don't understand

my posts may not be getting likes because i only post at midnight, but that's the time i need support the most!!

I spent most of my teen years living in a car. I taught myself to write by reading thrift store books and writing, hundreds of pages of longhand done with mechanical pencil on cheap lined filler paper. I have never used LLMs.

I cannot understand desiring to be read when you have no desire to read.

having fibromyalgia is so embarrassing like ohhhh something bad happened to me and my nerves never recovered so now i'm too tired to go to work today ohhhhhh

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

dudes rock may not have made it onto the locus recommended reading list but i still think it's worth recommending :)

apologies to everyone who failed remedial english classes, but male balrogs look after the eggs while the females hunt for food in the antarctic tundra, tolkien is dead he can't argue with me
