Instar interviews Hi there! My name is Sabrina Imbler, and I'm a transmasculine writer. I'm working on a book of essays called INSTAR about the idea of metamorphosis, which I explore through the lens of gender transiti...

my beloved trans community: do you feel like you transitioned late? (whatever that means to you!) if so, I'd love to hear from you for an essay I'm working on πŸ™ πŸ›

While a democrat president would absolutely be down to smoke the leader of Iran and the neighboring orphanage for the fuck of it, i must concede they would deftly avoid collaterally smoking the top three choices for leading the country to a mutually beneficial partnership with western oil concerns

Boom times for instantly writing 380 ireedemably insane words in a google doc with the working headline The Whole Place Is Dark and then deleting it. I do not think this is quite as much my fault as usual.

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

Look do I like that my job makes me harvest children? No, of course not.

Do I like that the company I work for is the #1 child harvester on earth? Doubly no.

But I had no control over any of that when I took a multi-month application to work at Child Harvester Inc.

they call it β€œhorseshoe theory” because you are likely to believe it if you have been kicked in the noggin by a Horse

Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

one thing that gets me about the snowball story is that the easy, obvious thing to do when pelted with snowball is to just fuckin pick up a snowball and throw back. it's a free opportunity to vent that pent-up cop rage! but noooo you gotta do actual violence even when fun violence is an option

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

The U.S. Hockey Men Spoil The Fantasy | Defector To be a U.S. Olympian is to represent the best that your country has to offer. That sounds extremely lofty when it’s written out like that, but I think that’s really how it works, ideally, if you’re t...

People treat them like they’re a news outlet instead of Catturd2 for libs and it’s very strange.

Just started playing Ace Attorney Investigations 2, but I'm playing the fan translation, not the HD re-release. The fan translation seems pretty solid so far except they wildly underestimated how stupid the character names would be in the official translation

If you space out with the seat in the upright and locked position, it just looks like ur mainlining ur own mental illness

Only trouble with the miata is no back seat. Not that I need a back seat, I just like being able to tilt the seat back. If one stares into space as I often do whilst leant back, one just appears to be peacocking just how chill the vibes are.

I realize everyone is quote-dunking rn but every video I see out of Dodger Stadium is a 28 person 3 generation brawl so this might be a real sell
