I hate the new fighting games! Fighting games should be the way they have always been; so hard to learn that only a small number of potential consumers can actually be any good at them, and fostering gatekeeping communities that actively undermine the potential for these games to be more popular and financially successful by their very nature

Pronouns are a boundary, and you better fucking respect people's boundaries.

Friendly reminder: it's good to be assertive, but it's not good to be aggressive, and there's a not-so-fine line between assertive and aggressive, and you cross that line (nay, yeet yourself deep into aggressive territory) the moment you decide other people's boundaries don't matter. Assertiveness is a good thing, but assertive people also take others into account and try very hard to not cross others' boundaries. Be assertive, not aggressive.

Hey, yo, people! If someone tells you to use a given set of pronouns for them, USE THE GOD DAMNED PRONOUNS. I don't care what your opinions on the pronouns or the person who wants them are, use the fucking pronouns they want you to use.

@humanleftswatch @mavica If someone tells you that their pronouns are "it/its", then they are telling you that /to them/, those pronouns express who they are. mavica knows what those pronouns mean in english and it chose them because they suited it.

I could go on about how she/her, he/his, and they/them have all also been used to misgender, invalidate, and dehumanize people, cis and trans, because they all have been, but that straight-up doesn't matter. When someone chooses pronouns, they are saying, "these are right for me". /Believe them./

i made a lesbian flag, and thus will be your new god until i am inevitably cancelled, as we do every year on the Dark Solstice to make the sun come back

other trans people: that's my deadname

us (saying the same thing but Extra): i defeated that name in single combat, and thereupon fed it to the ravenous wolves of time. it is not my name.

On the downside, I stuck at my grandma's for the next few hours. On the upside, at least I figured out the WiFi password.

Now to see how many people ask how school's going despite the fact I've taken a medical withdrawal...

If an animal is resting on your lap, you are not allowed to get up until they do, sorry didn't make the rules

Christmas fun in Kat's house 

In case you're worried about my mom, she ended up singing "Up on the rooftop, Jesus falls," so she's not *that* good of a Christian.

Christmas fun in Kat's house 

Mom, a Christian: please don't be sacrilegious

Me, an atheistic Satanist, trying to put baby Jesus on the roof of the manger in the nativity set: Whoops, he fell. Looks like the crucifixion happened 30 years too soon!

Thanksgiving PSA 

Please don't invite trans folks to your trans unfriendly family spaces without warning

Please don't invite any marginalized folks into spaces unfriendly to them without telling them that is the case

This holds for anytime of year to be honest, but especially today where folks invite us to spaces bc we don't have family... But to be blunt being around your trans missic family isn't better than being near ours and def not better than being alone

Selfie, ec 

Kat, in boy mode, here to tell you Merry Fuckin' Christmas, Bitches. I know I'm a month early. But merry fuckin' christ-tide-alia.

cw suicide, graphic, trans 

Remembering Choe Sagal's death by self-immolation and how it didn't even get national coverage let alone international coverage shows you how fucking messed up this world's news media is.

A trans woman setting herself on fire in a public park, hell, ANYONE setting themselves on fire in a public park is the kind of thing you would expect to see on the news??? It's such a fucking unusual death and so explicitly a political statement that for it to go unnoticed is a pretty fucking clear sign that trans women do not matter to cis people.

And also, remember, IQ isn't actually *THAT* important. It's actually a really *shit* measure of intelligence. (But it's still fun to call people on their BS, on the occasion that they're claiming that shit off an online test.)
