as for election results so far I was hoping for better and expecting worse so

okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

I tend to keep politics to my alt but I feel like this is a necessary reminder to all my german followers: please go vote this weekend. If you're indifferent about the possibility of my rights as a trans person being revoked or my friends being kicked out of this country then my art is not for you.

imo it also means there IS something special and powerful about menβ€” it's just that trans men prove the source & application (+ reception) differs radically from the norm. we're aberrations proving both that cis people don't hold the keys to manhood, nor do we need them to open the door.

Friendly reminder: ALWAYS vet block lists you sub to, even after you sub to them. A lot of bad actors out there make lists that are really for people they don't like but title it under the guise of something else. Or they bait & switch by adding people who are the opposite of what the lists claims.

the problem with the β€œlisten to your body” thing is that mine is always telling me it’s the perfect time to get cozy in bed πŸ˜”

Feeling... rough. Lately.

How to not sand the edges of my work? How to not censor myself, when censorship is rempant? How do I keep remembering that my existence is political, and my work is too? How not to collapse, with everything that’s happening in the world, and how to go on?

I got an appointment with an endocrinologist?? Hello???

taste you after you've tasted me

reading a book on catholic image theology during the counter reformation and it's all like "there wasn't really a counter reformation because the goal wasn't to counter the reformation but to uphold tradition but they sure took care to counter the reformation while they were at it"

transgender < postgender

I hate when people refer to me as binary trans because I refer to my gender as male and use he/him like can we leave the binary out of this please

My new essay "There Are No Innocents: An Analysis on Villainy in Castlevania" is finally finished! A lot of sweat and (bloody) tears went into this project and I'm so happy to reveal it! Shares and feedback are much appreciated πŸ–€ docs.google.com/document/d/1... #castlevania #castlevanianocturne

"Sauron and I agree on very little, but we're willing to work on bipartisan legislation that's good for Middle-Earth. This mean compromising on sensible Elf deportation bills."

Why would you make your narrator unreliable. I trusted you and purchased this book and this is how you repay me

I think one of the biggest issues we're facing here is how the word 'nazi' has become synonymous with 'murderous antisemite' which makes a lot of conservatives falsely assume they can vote for nazis without being one.

welp the yaoi has become emotionally load-bearing as well as bearing each other's loads

shout out to my fellow neurodivergents that feel like every interaction you have with people ends with choosing the incorrect dialogue option in a video game

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

having a mental illness is so funny to explain when you come from a loving, tight-knit family because it’s like no yeah i have been utterly supported and cherished and encouraged since the moment i was born and i’m still a little bit crazy. sorry

remembering that booktuber who read van gogh's diaries and letters and hated it bc she expected inspirational quotes when in reality most of it is vincent writing about needing money

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

everyone in the car clowning on the GPS when it mispronounces the street name is a small joy in life
