OK so I wrote up the whole conversion therapy/gender bit for those who are curious
On Becoming A Monster
As long as I can remember I was always a boy. There was no moment of realization, no great discovery — this is who I always was, even…

I stumbled upon this insight while explaining spices to my students: human history is all about discovering novel ways of hurting ourselves.

Their specific gift was in chronicling times like these, too. Things feel more baffling without them.
Maybe this is maudlin but I feel like we need some type of Oscars montage for the posters we lost this year. Guys like Dan McQuade, Mike Fossey and Kaleb Horton contributed so much to online culture, but everything about it is so impermanent. People need to know who they were.

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.
They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.
If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

Middle aged white men (and I’m 49, so I’m in the demographic) absolutely need ridiculous Dad Hobbies or they get squirrely. I think if you’re can’t prove you have a preexisting Dad Hobby or 2 by age 45, you get entered into a national hobby draft and get assigned one. It would solve so many things.
every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

I know I bitch about cishets a lot, so let me show some appreciation for my cis guy friends who 1) barely noticed me coming out (they did a quick mental check, realized no behavior adjustments need to be made, and carried on) and 2) offered to teach me to shave my face

Listen: because I am hearing this a lot from folks who are in caregiving roles with disabled, sick, dying folks, elders, or children in their care:
You are not unable to do anything or unable to take action.
Care work IS justice work

ICE is using a hotel in my town. I hope they’re ready to learn about the history of the sword in warfare and fiction from the Hellenic xiphos to Jedi lightsaber fighting styles.
I want to stand outside and monologue about my autistic special interests on a bullhorn.
For hours.

i don't think anyone outside the left is prepared for how fucking annoying we can be. we're already really fucking annoying without trying

GYM FRIENDS I need you!! Monday I wiped out on the ice, my shoulder is better but still hurts when I lift my arm. Please yell at me to not work out until it's completely healed so I don't reinjure myself because I am a fucking idiot.

It's amazing. I transitioned, found what an incredible boon it was to my mental health, cut abusive family out , found a family that actually loves me, and internally my life really never has been better.
Externally I have to fight tooth and nail to survive. It is cruel irony.

I tried doing one shirt design at a time for most of last year but I decided I'm going to try occasionally doing two designs at a time this year because, tbh, I'm probably going to have a big rent increase this year

I know you all love The Fartlantic today because of that one article but please try to remember that they played an instrumental role in the rise of fascism in the US and you do not, in fact, have to hand it to them.
