yeah, i hate this shit. i’m sorry, stacy.

FINALLY

if you hold a bun up to your ear you can hear the distant plaintive strains of dr dre’s “tha next episode,” harkening back the rough, unbridled enthusiasm of every hot dog’s past.

hollup i may *have* to pick it so no one else can have it.

oh good!

[rubbing my fists in my eyes]

why do i feel like that might actually fix me?

i have both an interrobang and a semicolon tattooed on…well, it’s kinda drifted boobily away from my heart, but please don’t make me do theory.

that’s too much work and too messy. i have one old fishtank net and a lot of loose envelopes.

that was just because god didn’t want him anymore.

if it’s not frozen, you can swim in it.

in the past two months there were a few days where i was literally booked for 16 hours of meetings a day and i can’t say shit about clients and it’s america and the bosses do what they want but most of those meetings were not set by bosses or clients.

this is a mere 10° cooler than the hottest i think the world should be allowed to get. you skinny dip in this.

after about 2.5 years of full engagement with a single social media site after never really being previously embroiled (i had 100 or fewer friends on a myspace & facebook way way back), i have a bunch of takeaways & almost all of them are pretty depressing.

they have & have always had anything they need to draw up lists; there’s nothing stopping them; logistics are messy; it’s still scary.

might happen, might not. no point spiraling about it until it happens. if you didn’t know it was possible & the realization makes you want to plan escape, do it!

are these people just constantly getting hit in the face with frying pans and unable to process the world like non-frying pan people?

“actually, the glossy biography by the publication well known for its bias toward power is playing 5d chess with this ribald send up!”

“librarian is excited by my reading list” is a vibe i could ride for a while.

WHOA

okay, i would legit put that on my covers!

the cascade of fucking frantic trans people it creates every time!

it’s bad! it’s serious! be candid & forthright right in the fucking first post!

especially when you’re dealing with already terrified people who often don’t want to click into the nazi-funding website!

i keep looking for the box on forms that says

▪️ trans…. 🫴 🫳 whatevahs 🤌

but it’s never there when i need to self-ID

How far we've come

SEEMS LIKE IMPORTANT FUCKING CONTEXT, KAT!

i think @ripperoni.com has advice on this, if you want it (i can’t ever remember either).

"Other people have no interiority, and are just services I can access to make myself feel better" is a pretty keen insight into how these people think

you should read this

we weren’t the kind of family that was looking for notes.

we actually *did* leave a plate of cookie sex toys & milk-flavored lube out for santa & steve at our house. by the broken fireplace where the tools had been replaced by other exciting devices.

one year, we got our xmas lists back with a handwritten note from steve saying, “stop doing this. please.”

(bluesky moderation has been pretty roundly terrible and that being a fairly undeniable known issue some of you have absolutely lost the plot and should maybe pick different hills to die on)

People INCLUDING TRANS FRIENDLY MEDIA keep writing news stories on exclusions of trans people from women's sport while never talking to trans women athletes involved in women's sports.
