in all seriousness one of the most obnoxious things about mental health is the chicken-egg problem of feeling too bad to do things that will make you feel better

wait so like if you do some really basic self-care tasks, you like.. feel better? there must be some kind of mistake here. what does this mean

i have put much thought into this and have come to the conclusion that trans girls good to cuddle

Anyone: *says the word "transition" in the context of history or video editing*
My brain: *trans flag*

bi people arent straighter than gay people

“Y’all” is a superior plural pronoun. “Ain’t” is a perfectly good contraction. “Reckon” is a fantastic verb for describing when you are of an opinion. “Yonder” is the only word to describe that way over there.

The confluence of CWs and follower-only replies is quite good at leaking the "metadata" of a conversation I'm not supposed to be able to see.

Person I don't follow posts something personal follower-only, uses a descriptive CW. I don't see any of this. I do however see when someone I DO follow replies, and maintains the CW.

I dunno what I'm saying here. Be mindful of this when you reply to super personal posts?

Transphobia, Hate Crime 

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance or #TDoR.

Here’s why that’s important:

Transgender Day of Remembrance 

Today is #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance #TDoR. These are the names and faces of our 27 trans siblings officially acknowledged to have been killed by hate in the United States alone. I want to specifically call attention to the fact that 26 of the 27 were people of color. This is an issue of race every bit as much as it is of gender.

Today is #TDOR. Please protect the trans folks in your life.

:heart_trans: Today is Trans Day of Rememberance :heart_trans:

On this day, we remember the lives lost to anti-trans violence.

331 gender diverse and trans identifying people were killed across the world this year that we know of.

Juliana Ferreira / 22 / Brazil
Ciara Minaj Carter Frazier / 31 / USA Chicago
Danielly Ferraz / ? / Brazil
Gabriela Ramos Menezes / 19 / Brazil
Monse / 35 / Mexico
Janet / 31 / Mexico
Regina Denise Brown / 53 / USA South Carolina
Lorrane da Silva / ? / Brazil
Patricia Aylen Molina / ? / Argentina
Jessica Gonzaga / 25 / Brazil

Numbers can be dehumanizing, but I want the following to HUMANIZE THEM:

Brazil (130)
Mexico (63)
United States (30)

These are primarily trans femmes. Overall, primarily trans women of color. Each of these aspects of their being dehumanized these women further in the eyes of their killers.

This adds to the 3314 recorded since 2008. 331/3314 is 10% of the total in 12 years. That means as trans awareness goes up, so too have murders. The average per year would be 276. It's 331 in 2019.

me, talking to my partner: I can't believe you made me sit through that and you didn't even know--

friend: you make it sound like you were held against your will to watch this!

me, sitting next to my partner: well, yeah, I was held against my will the whole time

my partner, whose name is will: >:|

i'm so glad the rich hoard their money so that i can struggle to survive everyday for the rest of my life :)

@AudreyJune maths!

like, actually, no joke, one of the primary considerations in making final name decision was a numerical thing. the name had to be a particular number of letters, a particular number of syllables, and a particular number of words, all together. by that point we'd already sort of figured out what we were keeping, what we were changing, and what we were throwing out entirely, so we ended up with a simple set of constraints that ended up exactly fitting a bad pun. hence, name.

I'm an anti-commercial descriptivist, language evolves naturally and every deviation from its prescribed form is valid except if advertising has ANYTHING to do with it

i think its normal to have crushes on all your metamours 🤔

a good etiquette is that if you're finding you want to censor a word, instead consider leaving it as-is, so wordfilters will catch it, and using a euphemism for the word (e.g., "f-slur") in the CW of the post

Show thread

your regular reminder that censoring words l*ke th*s is actively counterproductive because it bypasses the filters that people set up for themselves

to take an innocuous example, if i use filters to block the word "orange", and you write "or*nge", you have now ensured that i will see a post that i have explicitly tried to get out of my timeline
