So it's a fun game and his main complaint is effectively that he's rotted his brain

I've definitely been experiencing more like, "are you robot" verification and "security risk" since using a vpn

On the other hand, it beats having Kier Starmer scrolling through my AO3 history

Please please please 🙏 (although maybe not the stomach lining because stomach acid breaks down insulin)

Me, mid-30s: yeah, I was that young and immature at that age too, and getting into scrapes and stuff like getting TB tested because someone in my halls drank too much red WKD was a pretty important step to being a less immature person. Also, kinda funny

That seems to be accurate from what I remember from the English version

The way that major healthcare institutions have just decided the rules don't apply when it comes to trans people. Research ethics? Consent? Basic human dignity? Those would just be too inconvenient and it's only a bunch of trannies.

There was a post on tumblr years ago about reblogging from TERFs etc that was like, if it's a good post, someone who isn't a radfem will have made the post too (without the inherent subtext of radfems)

I feel like the same applies here

I've come across a number of transmasc writers who are trying to do feminism that considers transmasc issues and perspectives who also include her, and like

Even if what you're citing from her is accurate, maybe you could find a better source?

If we are to tear down the patriarchy, we cannot ignore the way the patriarchy constructs womanhood as a means of coercion and control not just of women themselves but of all marginalized people.

On the more charitable side, they might be astounded that a STEM student considers the human impact of their work

Like, I've encountered a lot of STEM people who think that humanities and social sciences are basically useless

BREAKING: The Home Office is giving police new powers to restrict repeat protests like pro-Palestine marches.

Police can consider the ‘cumulative impact’ of protests on an area and could ban the protest / force it to move elsewhere.

How lucky am I that I get to live with her? When she sits like this I call her pretty paws.

Man-hating always seems to manifest as homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and misogyny somehow

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

1. The average AI fan does not think like a human person

2. I kinda want someone to shag the AI actor datacentre just to piss these weirdos off

It does remind me of the occasional British terf paranoia that they're being infiltrated by TRAs

(Except the latter has occasionally happened)

Cartoon image of a very young Beckett Mariner from Star Trek: Lower Decks. She is playing with a toy Enterprise and reciting the TOS opening speech. Off-camera, her father can be heard being excited that his kid is passionate about space :)

Trektober 2025, Day 1: Final Frontier. I bet baby Mariner was the BIGGEST TOS nerd and learned the Final Frontier speech before she could walk properly.

"With how many tgirl impersonators"

Quick question: is there evidence that these impersonators are actually pretending, or is it more of a "doesn't rabidly hate transmascs and won't answer invasive questions about her genitals and that means she's not a real trans woman" kind of situation

New AI problem: "ask AI chatbot" feature loads slightly after the rest of the right click menu in browser, causing me to constantly click on the wrong option

(Have now disabled AI features, but this thing is constantly making my life and work processes worse and I don't even use it)

I also suspect that those who think women's spaces are inherently safe have a) never been in an involuntary women's space like a school or prison, or b) were the ones making those involuntary spaces unsafe

The fact that you can't leave and didn't choose to be there really changes the dynamics

I suspect that male prisoners are seen as more capable of overpowering a guard, and thus would need to be 'placated', leading to v-coding

Iirc, in women's prisons, a lot of sexual assault of prisoners is carried out by guards

A post from the Vagina Museum, labelled as "adult content": The last day to view Trans Ephemera is 5th October. This community-created exhibition explores diversity, medicalisation and experiences of oppression through the medium of things that are normally thrown away. The exhibition is free to visit - plan yours now!

*sigh* Bluesky is Blueskying again. Here's that link again, this time visible to everyone. Trans people's experiences are not adult content, mods. www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/communitygal...

Can't wait until I have a place away from my mother and her belief that other people don't need to sleep
