Delayed getting the preorders for maomao and jinshi nendos too long and now they're closed 🤡

Sometimes a patient will casually tell me that a loved one said the most horrific shit imaginable to them as a way of "helping" them and I have to resist the urge to lean in and ask if and when I can meet this person To Talk
Just to talk, absolutely no other reasons

But I suspect that a lot of the issues with x-men's allegories that people have brought up in the past are also true of mutant nationalism- that they assume many of the untrue premises of hasbara but made canonical because it's a comic book fantasy world where ofc there are sentient islands

I need to read the actual comics more in depth though before I make any more sweeping statements lol

Like Claremont basing Xavier and Magneto on Ben-Gurion and Begin and the running theme of "a homeland for mutants" in multiple arcs and eras that are also inevitably corrupted and destroyed Says Something

Once I read more Genosha and Krakoa, I really want to do either a written or video essay about the connection between X-Men and Zionism because a) I'm a glutton for punishment I guess b)it's rarely acknowledged or explored in depth in favor of deconstructing the Fantastic Racism which is fair

Nobody hates JD Vance and everyone associated with him more than Ohioans except maybe Appalachians

I know we're all super pumped about Mamdani winning but can we talk about Pureval beating out Vance's half brother for Cincy mayor by a fucking landslide??? Lmao get wrecked loser

Seeing Homare so thoroughly focused on the adults around her to the point where she never figured out to acknowledge her own desires and opinions must have been maddening for someone who had been driven mad by his own need to be independent and free of any responsibility

Going feral thinking about the dynamic between Saburota and Homare. She was the only worthwhile thing he brought to the family, he was proud of her and resented her so, so much for being the last tie to his family that he could never escape. For being closer to Lucifer than he had any hope of being

MAN this chapter was so satisfying in so many ways

The part where he goes "I'm worried about you... replacing you, I mean" says everything

You can participate in support/social groups for subgroups specific to your needs without discounting the identities and experiences of trans people who have different experiences from yours!

Tl;dr I'm tired can we stop playing Gender Olympics

Yeah sorry after nearly a decade of being out my eyes glaze over and my brains start to run out of my head when people start fighting over who is "really" trans

"But people who medically transition have different needs that should be acknowledged" those aren't universal either 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now that I've learned how to glue down my eyebrows I'm unstoppable

Never call a trans person cis, regardless of presentation or what type of healthcare they're using ffs this is not complicated.

Just kidding my coworker brought in the most disturbing pumpkin I've ever seen

Like when does a Want turn into a Need? When you know your life would be better with that change? When you can't enjoy aspects of your body or do certain things? Do you have to be suicidal? How badly? For how long?
Or maybe we don't need to further separate out who is The Truest And Most Oppressed 🤔

What's funny is that these definitions of transsexual that people try to make invariably end up excluding me, someone who's been on hormones and gotten All The Surgeries because of this "want vs need" dichotomy that I've never been able to answer for myself. And also bc im inconsistently on hrt lol

Another day, another round of people making the word transsexual truscummy when I just want to use it for myself for tongue in cheek humor reasons

I'm not transsexual because I had surgery, im transsexual because it's fun to say with a fruity accent and I can't get the damn diagnosis off my record

I'm the only one who brought a pumpkin in to work for the decoration contest on time, so I'm looking forward to winning by default

Oh lord she really thought she was cooking 🫣

You know how most people have an above average number of legs? I just realized that because of my graft donor site, I now have the exact average amount of legs (1.97)

6 more months until my next stage 🥲 I really hope I only need one round of debulking because the idea of waiting even longer to be circumcised suuuuucks

Love it when I "unlock" the next plot point on the fic i've been plantsing like a moron

I thought the bottom text said "Jews, fuck" and you know what? Still works

whomst amongst us
