Good morning. The world is still terrible, but my cats are cuddled up together and being cute.

I'm just gonna take this discourse as another opportunity to return to my usual refrain:
Ursula Le Guin did it better!
Read the "The Word for World is Forest" instead of watching Avatar
Read "Earthsea" instead of Harry Potter
Read "The Dispossessed" right fucking now!

I wasn’t expecting Wake Up Dead Man to get a cinematography nod, but still mildly disappointed that it’s not even shortlisted.
(My vote is still for Sinners, but Steve Yedlin’s work is stunning and definitely deserves recognition.)

i love magnus hirschfeld as this weird total outlier guy who was the first and only cis man to listen to a trans woman talk about how miserable she feels and how she hates her appearance, then look at the estrogen on his shelf and say “i have an idea”
Trans healthcare by cis people is 99% to reduce the number of trans people.
The 1% is chaser docs who want to make trans women more fuckable or Magnus Hirschfield

I can hear my inner therapist pushing me to appreciate what I have. So “it’s draining when three of my partners need emotional support at the same time” becomes “there are three amazing women who love me and trust me to be there for them,” which is a good problem to have, all things considered.

the feminine urge to emotionally develop more over 3 years as a sapphic woman than over multiple decades as a dysphoric husk of a man
i don’t want to be a revolutionary martyr, i want to be a relationship anarchist with many wives & a loving community of friends

I want to be faux-outraged that the east wing demolition destroyed the movie theater, but the actual outrage that has been constant all year is so overpowering that it just feels pointless.

After years of hearing about how good The Leftovers is, this is the post that finally got me to start watching.
I’m enjoying it so far, even if I was completely unprepared for Christopher Eccleston’s American accent.

Using all this talk of covering up tattoos as a "teachable moment," in which I teach you to all watch THE LEFTOVERS
Here's Carrie Coon as Nora Durst, explaining how a *decent* human being gets a tattoo replaced:

Truly one of the worst times to canonically have great tits and correct opinions but someone has to do it

What’s your favorite media by trans artists? The weirder and more niche the better. I want suggestions!

It has been 0️⃣ days since I was misgendered at work.
Managed to go a few weeks since the last one, but apparently it couldn’t last.

Driving downtown to watch musical theatre today, a Sunday in autumn, I forgot football is a thing and was surprised when I got caught in the related traffic.
This feels very on-brand for me.

I've been super proud to work with a bunch of talented authors including @judedoyle.bsky.social and @taliabhatt.itch.io on this package over the past couple months — it's six great stories about the weird, scary moment both the internet and trans people are in
The future of being trans on the internet
The internet has long been a source of information and support for transgender people. Now, trans rights and the internet itself are in a moment of crisis. What happens next?

This movie is wonderful.

I hope so. Not that I’m expecting anything heinous from Hayao Miyazaki, or wishing death on him (although that might get him to actually retire).
May the creators of the IP your tattoo is based on die before they do anything heinous, amen. 🤗
