oh, how i love my brain. someone posted a horrifying bit of hentai in a discord server i'm in, and i responded, letting them know how horrified i was, largely but not completely joking. they apologized and deleted it. now i feel bad. thanks, brain. worse yet, i don't know how to respond. i didn't intend for them to take it down, so "thanks" doesn't feel right, but i also don't feel like explaining this is a good response. uuuuuggggghhhh anxiety.

So, a while back, I drew some transition goals for myself. I'm pleased to report decent process, even without having yet started HRT

Did someone say something about you that's pissing you off? Don't just get angry! Stop, take a deep breath, calm yourself down before you reach full-on anger mode, then re-read what they said, taking particular care not to take it personally just yet. It's possible you've misunderstood what they said, and there might be a much better way of responding than to get angry. It's possible that it is personal and they're saying what you thought they said, but don't just assume! Respond, don't react.

Disappointingly hot leftism take 

@auravulpes it's like a bandage, it ain't gonna fix the massive hole in your torso, but it's a good idea to put one on and try to stop much more damage from happening

Disappointingly hot leftism take 

Voting won't win any lasting structural changes, but it is the difference between life and death for anyone who isn't a straight, white, wealthy cis male. It's not meaningful in the long-term, but it is harm reduction and stops many of your potential allies from being killed.

I wish people could stop conflating having trouble articulating your thoughts with no knowing things. I know what I'm talking about, I just don't know how to get you to know about it!

Tired: "men are too emotional to be leaders." *replicates the sexist assumption that unemotionality is always a superior trait and is inherently associated with dominance/authority.*

Wired: "Men aren't emotional enough to be leaders." *Hot take. Asserts the value of traits devalued by patriarchy. Radically re-envisions what leadership ought to look like. Doesn't throw men who experience positive emotions intensely under the bus for being insufficiently "in-control" (read: masculine).*

it’s fucked up that those of us who participate in a culture of acceptance (lbgt, neurodivergence, etc.) find that the mainsteam is increasingly alien the more we, just accept each other

i think we should be valid in our intrests and shouldn't HAVE to be 'good' at things to enjoy them

imagine how amazing and beautiful itd be for people to be themselves create for themselves vs worrying about that next bill that next paycheck when we should have all our necessities free/things supplied for

money is so fucking fake and worthless and only used to monopolize people's lives into acting like this is all we should do/be

it shouldn't be like this.

nah but it is honestly so fucked up how people really think folks only live to work and die

that isn't how humanity should be i believe

we are more than what we produce and our worth is not based on our productivity

lewd, kink, bit of fiction rambling 

A bratty, submissive hacker and her robotic domme. She reprograms her domme while she's charging to make it where she can force her domme to kneel at the push of a button. One day, as her domme gets up and starts going to punish her, she pushes the button. The domme drops to her knees, helpless before the woman she thought she had so much control over. The hacker taunts her, "Heh. Not quite as powerful as we thought, are we?"

Never had a therapist text me while I'm sitting in their lobby before. That's a new one for me.

So, how's your day going?
