Trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary ppl are nonbinary, gender is a spectrum, the patriarchy hurts everyone, and I like stating the obvious. Good day.

Y'all are too hot to handle 🔥 but where is November???

I'm still not quite able to believe MY best efforts would ever be good enough for anything anyone else would call "success". I've gotten around it by learning to appreciate what I have always had a lot of: own time. It was always a side effect, now it's what I aspire to keeping.

OMFG THIS

Maartje @maalchen.bsky.social · 2d

And I can't even get any useful results from googling "how to hack voting system" anymore :/

Maartje @maalchen.bsky.social · 2d

Yes hi me thanks love 🙋🏻‍♀️

On an entirely unrelated note and sorry for the random threadjack: is there a possibility of more trans characters in future QC arcs?

Maartje @maalchen.bsky.social · 3d

I love the word 'loping' because a) it sounds exactly like the Dutch word for 'walk' and 1) it perfectly depicts a dog's loose-limbed, laid-back but yet perpetually enthusiastic gait ☺️

Star Wars and the Guillotine spring to mind

If I find a good topical painkiller that actually works I'll letcha know 🫂

Maartje @maalchen.bsky.social · 4d

Oh dang that means they've sent you home to walk around in pain for the next nobody knows how many weeks doesn't it 😑

Maartje @maalchen.bsky.social · 4d

That's genius!

Maartje @maalchen.bsky.social · 4d

I choose what others see of my feelings and thoughts, and I realize that that's what feeds their opinions about me. Especially on the internet. So I'm making this choice. I think it's good to be selective with one's self according to the context. There's a time and place for everything.

I'm happier than I was a couple days/weeks ago and I'm choosing to believe that it's because I've decided to only say sincerely nice things on the internet from now on and expelling all the raw snark and bitterness and anger and pain I feel into my paper journals that will be burnt before I die.

Sending all the best vibes your way and here's hoping it's innocent and fixable and fine soon 🥂

Maartje @maalchen.bsky.social · 4d

Why would you do that to yourself in the middle of the night (??) 😱 are you alone? You're not alone, are you? Please. You don't have to do this. It's not worth it. Honestly. Make sure you have access to the support you need afterwards. Sending good vibes your way.

I love The Klutzes but also it's a bit of a spoiler 😂
