I stand to pee, which is actually extremely feminine, since women often claim the first thing they'd do if they had a penis would be to pee standing up.

there's nothing more common among cis women than casual penis envy so when you think about it being a trans woman without bottom dysphoria means i'm a cis woman who got lucky

Sure feels like people who shouldn't be within a mile of positions of leadership formed their perceptions of the world solely based on movies, especially satire, with a distinct lack of reading/media comprehension. Soon space force training will be ai-bootlegs of Galaxy Quest.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Could be a fear of bad luck that came with the mantle, like how Nice has crippling imposter syndrome/anxiety/ataxophobia as part of the "most perfect hero" mantle

I just figured that the whole coin motif X had was because he dropped the first coin for cyan when she was begging/busking after fleeing the compound. It would be pretty funny if "yeah, so this random guy gave me a coin and changed my whole life" spread as a story and routed back to X.

A thing I think a lot of cishet folks don't appreciate is how reluctant many of us are to trust these days

And how much harder it gets when the few we do let us down

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

I'm absolutely convinced what makes Shakespeare inaccessible to a lot of audiences isn't the iambic pentameter old english it's the fact most plays are rehearsed as spoken verses and not acted with meaning

because when actors actually act out what they're saying it is So Clear

The most upsetting part to me was the sheer amount of time and energy sunk into this. We have a finite number of hours on this earth and these chuds are using theirs to whine about people liking stuff they don't. It's disheartening, to say the least.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

#kinktober Day 8: Transformation

A demon and dragon sit around a small magic circle with a green potion in the middle
The demon takes the potion and drinks it, scrunching her face in disgust before scales begin to sprout from her skin. her teeth grow and the scales spread further. Her tongue grows and her face forms a kobold snout. Her hair falls out as the scales lead to spikes pushing through her spine she clenches her eyes tightly before the dragon lifts her chin and with wide eyes she's fully transformed into a kobold

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Despite getting whatever anti-trans narrative they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk shooting, the American right is now blaming the Jews instead, because content must be created. It is almost like the "first they came for" thing is not hypothetical!

Growing up, I wanted boobs. Gynecomastia sounded amazing to me, in theory, but I was also afraid of it. What made me afraid of it wasn't having the boobs, that sounded perf. It was being harassed, insulted, attacked for having them. It was society.

If that ain't a capsule of trans life...

A lot of American veterans volunteered in Ukraine early on, and got the fuck out ASAP. Until that moment they didn't realize that their careers as "soldiers" brutalizing random civilians in Iraq or Afghanistan wasn't the same thing as a real modern war
