The word Spell originated in Old English, some 1000 years ago. BUT back then the word meant Story.

So, it is a linguistic truth that to tell a story is to cast a spell, and to cast a spell is to tell a story.

Every story we tell ourselves and others, big or small, is true magic ✨

May be there are only two genders; being yourself and not being yourself.

As I argue in #PlatypusMatters, Australia has the world's best mammals, but is sadly the worst place on Earth to be a mammal, with the planet's worst #extinction rate.
The Christmas Island shrew is now the latest species to be officially declared extinct.

And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct

The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 is now 39 species – far more than for any other country

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

The trans discord is all knowing...

(Also, *the* trans discord? Like my copy of the trans agenda, I'm missing something)

i want us all to make it to a place where we can sing and dance and laugh and cry and kiss and embrace each other under a setting red sun. but in order to get there we do all have to live. and that includes you, specifically.

if you're transgender, your first duty is to live. if youve got anything to give after that, your second duty is to help someone else live, because it's not easy and no one but you and I and those like us will ever understand. your third duty, if you can make it that far, is to live happily.

Every past version of you was trying to protect your truth until you could live it safely.

That’s not wasted time. That’s loyalty.

Transitioning later in life is how you repay that loyalty, by finally giving yourself the freedom you always deserved.

Autogynephilia is not real. I feel more like myself than I ever did before I started my transition, both in and out of sexual circumstances.

Transphobes refuse to see queer and especially trans identities as anything other than fetish or mental illness.

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 17h

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

I don't know for certain but that's a completely valid interpretation!

Make no mistake, when the state imprisons a trans woman in a men's prison, it intentionally procures her for the purpose of having her raped. The statistics are extremely clear-cut and consistent in every jurisdiction where they have been collected. There is no way around them

And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct

The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 is now 39 species – far more than for any other country It’s official: the only Australian shrew is no more. The latest edition of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List, the world’s most comprehensive global inventory on extinction risk, has declared the Christmas Island shrew is extinct. This little animal is extremely common all over the island, and at night its shrill shriek, like the cry of a bat, can be heard on all sides. Continue reading...

If you care at all about truth and any sense of consensus reality, you have to tell people posting ai fear mongering videos as "news" to fuck off, even if they are ostensibly on your side politically
