Ai slop and transphobia welcome to the world wide net of the 21st century

We never stopped talking. I still can’t believe where that one, simple, message got me. That, that simple message was me finding the love of my life. It was the best decision I have ever made 💙

7 years ago today, I was messaging people on this app called amino, looking for friends. I saw this guy’s profile and he seemed nice so I sent him a simple ‘hey :3’ He replied ‘hey there :)’ and the rest is history.

Clearly an Arabic demon caught in the act.

Arabic folklore has these small demons who attack your feet if you don't cover them when you sleep...

Friendly reminder that the only way you can avoid becoming disabled is to die first so it would be cool for people to stop treating disability like some fringe issue that doesn't impact you. When it happens to you, you'll wish people were less awful about it so start being less awful yourself now.

Am I finally gonna post more on here now that Threads has locked me out? Stay tuned to see

After a long day of work

Cat on head

I am exhausted and I have been so busy in the last few days I just need/want SLEEP but im just wide awake

Everyone is always like ‘get as much sleep as you can before the baby comes bc you won’t be able to when they baby is here!’ Thats good advice & all, IF pregnancy didnt stop me from sleeping 😭

It just makes me sad really that everyone went to different platforms

Also, I’d like an option on here to make your profile private

Why are my mutuals devided between here & Threads (and most of them actually still on twitter, but neither of these apps) why can’t everyone just pick the same platform 💔

Hi world, It is with joy, relief, and a fair amount of anxiety that I am re-introducing myself to you as Rowan Jetté Knox. I am a trans man, am medically transitioning, and will be exclusively using he/him pronouns going forward. I’ve known this is who I am for a long time now, but I had to work up the courage to say it out loud. It took months of introspection, therapy, long chats with loved ones, plenty of tears, and pushing through a lot of fear and denial to get here. But am I ever glad I’m here.

I’ve been Rowan to my loved ones for a good while now. But publicly, I’ve been Amanda. This in-between space has been hard. It’s a big reason why I was struggling with depression earlier this year, and why my anxiety has been so high. Not living authentically is a heavy load to carry. Initially, I was going to wait until a few weeks after my next memoir came out – which was scheduled for release August 22nd. This made the most sense from a logistical standpoint; the book is already printed under my old name. Maybe, I thought, it should make its way into the world a little before I do. I believe it to be an important book about healing from childhood trauma, and I didn’t want anything to take away from that.

But after talks with my agent and publisher, it became apparent to everyone that each day I had to live as Amanda was too painful, too heavy to carry for much longer. So, they did something wonderful: they centered my wellbeing before anything else and encouraged me to come out when I was ready. I chose August 1st. They then delayed release of ONE SUNNY AFTERNOON until September 12th to give me the time and space to breathe between coming out and touring a book about my trauma. This is allyship in action and something I will always be grateful for. So, here we are. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I get to live as Rowan forever now. I don’t exactly know how that’s going to feel, but I can only imagine it will be a whole lot better than how I’ve been feeling up until now.

I want to thank my children, partners, extended family, and friends for loving me through it all. I want to thank everyone at Penguin Random House Canada and the Transatlantic Agency for standing behind me as a trans person and not just as an author. Finally, gratitude to Elliot Page for leading by example. Seeing you do it helped me do it. Maybe one day I’ll be able to read your book (but not yet because it’ll probably make me cry too much.) With love and gratitude for new beginnings, Rowan

A very special and important update.

Hello, world. It's so nice to meet you.

My beautiful baby girl 😍 it’s unreal how much I love her 🥺

More of my mutuals are on Threads now (or still on twitter) so I am currently still more on twitter & threads than here

Im not so sure about this app yet. I like it, as it does resemble Twitter a lot, but not many of my mutuals are here currently and I think that’s mainly bc we need the invite codes? Im not sure if they would be here otherwise, but there’d be a higher chance

Thank you! The euphoria was real 😂

Trans people reskeet with a noce photo of yourself!

Note to the trans community:

Please invite more trans men to BSky, there are so few of us and we already get forgotten about enough by the rest of the world, so it would be nice if our own community didn't do that too!

Guess I am on here now too 😂 hey there ✌🏼 let’s see how long I can keep up with 3 of the same apps (sorry for people that follow me on it all and will see a lot of cross posting 😌)
