The Forgotten Borough, or That Which Should Not Be Named?

Today in Medium: Being recc'd an article entitled "Why dating other people is stupid"...when I'm poly...based on my reading history?

I'm just throwing this site in the trash now

I'm listening to a podcast about Snow White, and it just occurred to me that both she and Lenin were put on public display in glass coffins

Screaming Females is a good band and exactly as advertised (they girl and they scream)

Staten Island is a racist uncle manifested as a physical place

I refuse to listen to Half Japanese because their band name is so embarrassing

My ultimate punk look would be the lime green "Marcie the Scholar" t-shirt I saw online back in 2005, paired with a leather dick harness and the blue Archer from NYTC

Straight people be like

The only way Jersey is ever closer is if I swim there. There is no mass transit near here to Jersey, so it might as well be Idaho.

Google'll be like "The nearest store is in New Jersey" fuck off I'm not crossing state lines and taking the PATH to buy a charger you polluting carhead weirdos

It sucks a lot that Hopstop went under cuz Google Maps is made by people who don't know what a bus is and think I want to know the entrance to the golf course if I'm getting directions to a park

@Pyretta It's definitely A Thing, tho maybe not as much as catgirls for trans girls. Even cis people joke about werewolves being a metaphor for puberty, whether they're relating it to menses or growing muscle mass and hair...so if you're on HRT, and undergoing changes, it's an easy image to latch on to. I guess for me, it also relates to feeling like a weird monster, and dealing with toxic masculinity and the body horror of first puberty.

@Pyretta There's a werewolf thing

Tfw you work at an older tech company and are more proficient with Git than senior devs, but don't want to stunt on them when they're incorrect

A 19 fucking minute read, tho.

I would rather scrub the toilet.

I thought most of the articles I read on Medium were about programming, or abuse, but I guess the rare trans politics article means Medium needs to go whole hog on the click bait and encourage me to get pissed in the comments section to give terfs more attention.

What do we do about a woman with a penis?

Treat her like a friend...date her if there's a mutual attraction...I mean...heck, suck that peen if she's into it! Woooo! Or don't. Idk. Sensual massages? Cuddling?

How the fuck is this coming up as recommended reading for me? I'm trans and I date other trans people! I've been dating a trans girl for several years.

This is not something that I am wondering.
