Miss Lapis

What? No, it's not a "mechsplo forcefem" thing – she'd already figured out that she was a girl long before getting into the giant robot. The combat drugs DID however make her gay.

trans women telling a funny anecdote about their life: *most traumatizing thing you've ever heard in your life*

cis men telling a funny anecdote about their life: "so like, it's impossible to tell when women are or aren't consenting lmao!"

It is kinda sad that whenever men find out that women like something weird they reduce it to the most boring mainstream idea possible though.

You can't see our full humanity if you don't know what FREAKS WE ARE

Gonna have a bit more of a rant about the 'there's just so many damn trans women online!' thing.

I think people mistake this for some sort of systemic privilege; that we are being lifted up comparative to our peers because we are more acceptable within the public eye.

This is categorically untrue.

Esther Ghey's actions are the reason I just had a conversation with my siblings and fiancee, instructing them to ban my parents from any future funeral or memorial in my honour, along with anyone else using any kind of rationalisation to deadname me.

The first thing anti-trans groups like Bayswater Group and Transgender Trend say to parents of trans teens is take their phones, get them off the internet

the two discourses on my TL:

1. infamous brutal transfemicide of a teenage girl is being weaponized into a campaign of isolation against queer youth

2. cishet man comparing himself to victims of violent transmisogyny and calling all his transqueer critics "schizophrenic" "bipolar" "queer kids"

Thinking about mechsplo hounds post war. The depths of broken they would be. I wonder what quality of life they'd have? What work would have to be done to get them to "stable" let alone functional.

Also this is gallow's humor I'm not gonna encourage suicide

I'm posting this fully sober and in full awareness of my actions

What if we all just killed ourselves
They can't out-suicide rate us all

Sometimes I think about the fact that the best artistic work is produced when the artist has everything they need to live comfortably.

Then I think about the fact no trans woman I know has that, and we're still out here producing the best and most creative stuff going.

Trans women are so powerful.

That being said, I'm very excited to see how you're gonna fire off the Chekhov's Tamagotchi sitting in Gabe's pouch :3

The insistence on making these robots bipedal is probably the most obvious giveaway that it's all a big carny gimmick

If I get stabbed to death and my family decides to use that as an opportunity to campaign against 'being too online' instead of against 'stabbing trans people' I preemptively encourage anyone who finds out about that to call my family a bunch of fuckwitted asses who only care about clout.

that’s not a “radical feminist” position! it sure as shit isn’t a puritanical one either.

people turn into little fascists so quickly when women put up the most reasonable fucking boundaries in existence. yes that includes weaponizing progressive jargon and therapy speak to justify the behavior

not a fan of how many people cry about “radfems” to delegitimize women who are like “don’t sexually harass me or other women.”

like it’s not actually hard to be normal about women and see our personhood. sexual harassment is like layer 1 of trying to control us because someone sees us as objects

It is obscene that British media, and her own mother, have fully obscured that Brianna Ghey was murdered.

They've just glossed right over it, smoothly turning it into a narrative about suicide as if that is what happened.

How to Write a “Political Correctness Run Amok” Article I know why you’re here. Something has happened that has pushed you over the edge. You know, with regards to “political correctness.” Or…

this is one of my personal favorite essays that I've written. apparently it is 10 years old today. sadly, it's just as true today as it was back then, only difference being now instead of saying "PC" hack writers will call it "cancel culture" or "wokeness"...

On her birthday, we'd like to remember special effects makeup artist Milicent Patrick who famously designed the Gill Man suit for Universal's CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.

It's so cool that sitting US senators can talk about how they want all Palestinians to be murdered and vote to do it and if you post about throwing a tomato at them the Feds show up at your door because that's apparently a threat but trying to do a genocide isn't

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

also, there are plenty of text to speech tools that just record and don't analyze and they've existed for nearly my entire life. we've got to stop allowing people to conflate direct, non-generative tools with genAI when they have a financial incentive to do so

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!
