worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
doing psychic damage to my TME gf by explaining fetishization of transfeminine coded people and characters and how forcefem, BL and so on all play around with this because ultimately the ideal that society wants from us is 'boything I can exploit but never allow to embrace womanhood'
Beautiful 🧡
I didn't like hats until I had a ponytail that I could handily slip thru the little hole in the back of baseball caps
The “fun” of the trans experience is going through a huge chunk of your early life feeling like a fucked up freak because nobody else is remotely like you only to eventually learn that you’re actually a giant cliche.
if you have a salary job making 70k or more a year then make friends with a couple of trans people online who are busting their asses to barely eat and send them 10 or so dollars here there please please please together we can make difference
I want the big Pentax lens 😳
The verticality persists! There is a second tier of Delta lounge here which I apparently qualify for since my company books us business for transpacific flights
The verticality of LAX is borderline hilarious. I clear security and am granted access to the skyway right above security. Good level design tbh.
Books in a stack: Females by Amdrea Long Chu, a thin red paperback; Persona by Aoife Josie Clements, a brown paperback; Woodworking by Emily St. James, a sky blue hardcover.
After an absolute marathon of delays, rebookings, and immigration back-and-forth, I am seated and ready to finish Persona and chip away a couple other books from the queue. Females by Andrea Long Chu and Woodworking by Emily St. James. Just enough to make it home from a long China trip 😬
Men *can* be prevented.
“You don’t need to transition to be trans” ok but I need to transition to live we’re playing different ball games here
Trying to not eat the drywall in this goddamn hotel room, thank goodness tomorrow's the last day. The work went absolutely fine, but I miss home very badly🤧
South Korea has approved the creation of a foundation designed to protect transgender people from discrimination after nearly two years of deliberation.

a drawing iris made of a very small puppy version of blue from blue's clues, a dog that is light blue with dark blue spots and floppy ears. there is text on the top that reads "she is blue" and the bottom text says "because she is clues". the background is a light pink.
she is blue because she is clues 🔍

You don't have to deserve your gender. It's just your gender.
"Have a lot of experience with trans women, do you?" "Enough to know that if you give them an inch they'll steal ten years from themselves."
She shrugs. "Sometimes you don't need to actively choose a gender. You just be you, and accessorise."
Picking up little affirmations as I work my way through The Sisters of Dorley. Maybe these would be good on a mug or something
Amazing how every Ningbo taxi driver I've hired has the same exact goal in life, to be the first person to get their car to shear oerfectly in half longwise between two freight trucks
any vote for labour is a vote for reform btw :)
1. This is despicably evil.
2. This needs to be fought at every level. There is no world in which this cannot be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
3. Those behind this effort need to be exposed and never know a moments peace.
My company has better odds of sticking around at this rate 💀 I'm doing my damndest to get in good with our international sites so if/when the party's really over I can get the family somewhere livable
Everyone on this China work trip is disparaging the US for ruining their investments as we continue to fucking wreck the world. Not my main qualm, but happy to take the chance to complain. Maybe my most endearing trait to these folks is how ready I am to throw down about how dogshit home can be.
They got Aaron Rupar posting like this it's so over
Lord I feel that, congrats on the win 🧡
I mean I'm effectively/culturally a girl, absolutely a lesbian, and full of estrogen, but I think my name pairs more nicely with they/them. Wait I just saw you already said "annoying reason" falls under secret third thing lol 🙃
Deeply unserious, but I'm sure it'll still bother me if I see it again anyway
Three photos of hands covered in crude oil grasping, with all caps comic sans ass font that says SEX HOUND. Only $15 for the print version no doubt. A competitor to Easel if there ever was one.
While trying to pin down what a recurring figure from my nightmares looks like, which my asleep brain decided is called the Sex Hound (as in gender trait thing not intercourse), I made an album of stock photos. Google clowned on me with this goofy font tho so now it looks like a photography magazine
Apollo with the dodgeball of prophecy
Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning “AI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said “there are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one
