okay. I've tried this before but maybe it'll stick.

WG is a forum where you can discuss at length tv, movies, books, new releases, metatextual topics, post and discuss art, post tutorials etc, read up in threads, which will not just vanish but stick around for a bit. try it!

“snuff top” is so much less snappy than “murderer” but it’s also less legally actionable so who could say

im genuinely shocked (delighted but shocked) that legacy is remembered so well because it got absolutely dunked on upon release while i was obsessed.

Vast, vast majority of trans people aren't going to leave the country. Many can't leave the areas they're currently in.

If trans survival/liberation are something one cares about, at all, that's the reality.

So...🧵

(And no, this is not — in the main — about indviduals leaving the country).

My spicy take for this moment-

Too many of you do not understand the concept of infrastructure. How systems are built, how systems are maintained.

You want big bold action but haven't committed to the planning and the boring mundane tasks needed to make said action possible.

the rack i’ve been hanging my clothes on for the last year just spontaneously broke. it’s giving omen. it’s giving “time to go.”

(also i swear the top is not normally like that, i have cube storage i’m just determining what clothes go to the apartment first)

a cheap blue metal rack with a top shelf hung heavy with alt clothes and eccentric fashion leans basically diagonally against a blue wall.

The shed is labeled "small dead animals."

the stress was that without knowing if she was leaving, i didn’t know if i needed to find another place for the meetings, and if i started in my room, that would be 90 minutes where she couldn’t use it and that would be unacceptable if she wanted to.

𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔤𝔯𝔦𝔪 ♡ ⁽ᵗʰᵉʸ⁻ᵗʰᵉᵐ⁾ @astergrim.bsky.social · 1d

to be clear i have asked for very few things while living here and they’ve basically been “please give me privacy while i have meetings” and “please don’t constantly treat my bedroom as an entryway for all your friends,” and these have all been unreasonable apparently.

freaked out yesterday bc i had a 90 min block of back to back meetings & my grandmother couldn’t decide if she was going out (my room is connected to the garage and she believes she can come through any time she wants).

x number of weeks until i don’t have to inconvenience anyone by having a job.
