When I can’t figure out whether the reaction I’m having is due to burnout or being a sensitive bitch
This in particular was my favorite inclusion. The catchy song written by an Italian that’s meant to sound like English but is really just nonsense.
Possibly meant to signal that what we’re seeing from a certain Italian is stylish and compelling, but ultimately meaningless.
@skaly Exciting, because I have fun things to look forward to! But the excitement has been distracting me from the present.
Thank you for asking :) How was yours?
Adults when I was a kid: In other countries, former leaders get sent to prison because they’re so corrupt! Can you believe how uncivilized!? How lucky are we to live here in America!
Me, now an adult: Politics is a corrupt game more often than not, especially at higher levels — sounds like those other countries are willing to acknowledge that.
My favourite part of transitioning is when the illusion of cisheteronormativity falls away and you start to understand the world in an entirely new way, and you begin to exist outside of a system that honestly seems built only to keep you shackled and complacent.
And how trying to describe or explain this to a cis person is like trying to describe the colours a hummingbird sees which we don't.
God damn, The Matrix was spot-on, huh?
Discussing transphobia
I’d never tell people not to have *some* caution when in public, but this society has an epidemic of fear of Other People based solely on appearance. That state of mind is patently ridiculous once you get to know folks who aren’t plagued with it.
Discussing transphobia
Why would I assume that a man, or any person, is dangerous simply because they are large and have facial hair? Most of the large bearded men I know are among the sweetest people I’ve ever met. The assumption of danger from them is based on nothing more than the difference in size (and, for some reason, follicle activity).
Discussing transphobia
Of course the arguments against letting trans people decide which bathroom to use is always ridiculous and terrible, but the one I’m stuck on today goes something like this:
“Would you really feel safe with your daughter using the bathroom next to a six-foot, burly man with a beard??”
Assuming we removed the idea of gender policing from bathrooms, why would I *not* feel safe with that?
@kevingan We always use a towel, and long sleeves are a bonus
Especially since in order to make the transfer, I would have to give them my phone number first. Apparently there’s a lot a scammer can do with just your phone number.
Ugh. I don’t think it’s worth the risk.
@JoParkerBear I’m with you 100%. Jim Henson was not a capitalist and never would have touched NFTs
