Ya girl pinched a nerve in her hand a couple of days ago so that it now hurts to type on a computer… but not to write with a pencil. I’ve been rendered analog

It's been a week and somehow I'm still pissed about Hades 2. How dare you invoke the specter of a badass, canonically queer woman and then undermine her so thoroughly. Fuck.

I'm fairly certain this one was written by cishets!

20-page document about indigenous "third gender" systems and yet mysteriously there's been exactly one sentence that isn't about "feminine men dressing in women's clothes who married men and took on sexually submissive roles"

Off to a fantastic start with this assertion on the fourth page of the assigned reading,,,

While many transgender persons believe that they are radically altering
the gender binary, most are in fact directly and indirectly supporting or reifying the very system they are seeking to change (Gagne ́, Tewksbury, and McGaughey 1997),5 supporting West and Zimmerman’s (2009) assertion that it is impossible to undo gender and that attempts to change and subvert the gender binary only work to reinforce it.

not until I saw that overlap list did I suddenly understand why I'm a low-key Raven Guard fan

Hanger buds

My two OCs, Sigur, a tall muscular tattooed lady with short scruffy blue hair and yellow eyes, and Vesper, a shorter muscular lady with mid-length purple hair, a blue eye, and covered in scars over the left side of her body and face. They are walking towards along a mech hanger catwalk towards the viewer. They are dressed in crop tops, workwear trousers and boots. Sigur is also wearing a loose sleeveless shirt over her crop top, tucked into her belt at the front. Vesper is wearing an eye patch over her scarred left eye. and carrying a mech pilot helmet under her arm. They are smiling and chatting to each other. Behind them is a mech hanger with various structures, a higher up walkway, and the rear of a mech in view. The lighting is warm and lit by ceiling lights, and a little dim lower down, but not dark.

And then also when the original bundle got taken down and the podcast started advertising some of the itch pages for the separate books, all of the trans women who were part of the bundle were suddenly gone!

Saffron @dragonsaffron.bsky.social · 4d

So the main of the controversy over that bundle was that she and a lot of other people are of the opinion that it's misleading to call a *book* sapphic if the plot is centered on an m/f relationship, even if the main character is technically sapphic, because characters aren't real people.

Like, she literally helped me pick out the stock art that became the Chained Flame cover and then paid for it for me, despite us not knowing each other well at the time, just because I'm a trans woman who was working on a book.

Saffron @dragonsaffron.bsky.social · 4d

"Marginalized folk" here means mostly cis white women tbh, there was a collective effort to really play up how marginalized the people she was making fun of were. And also, like, this was a decade ago and she's gotten better, especially on trans issues, since then.

I got to watch a big discussion about Chained Flame in a server I’m in and holy fuck do I want to jump into writing Teeth’s Mercy right the fuck now

Saffron @dragonsaffron.bsky.social · 5d

Undergrad. I spent like... five years flailing after having to drop out in 2019 and now that I've finally found a place that really seems to work, I'm not leaving until I at least have my degree.

Sandy Ernest Allen @sandyernestallen.bsky.social · 5d

I'm realizing a grim exercise/prompt may be in this ...

If others want to share, I'm curious:

Why aren't *you* leaving america (yet)?

Asking for trans folks in particular, especially those of us on HRT and/or other very directly threatened in terms of our healthcare ...

Reposts welcomed. Sigh.

Sandy Ernest Allen @sandyernestallen.bsky.social · 5d

If i were 22, I'd maybe just bail on america. I'm 38 is the problem and I love my life here. My house, my gardens, my dogs. This is where I built my adult existence ...

Still mentally obsessing over Hades 2's message of "instead of finding meaning in sisterhood and the shared trauma of survivorship we just let men talk it out amongst themselves and accept it when they tell us Everything Is Fine Now."

Just one of the most antifeminist narratives in gaming.
