β€œfully transitioned” reinforces that the ideal gendered form is a cis-appearing [insert gender here] and that that should be (or is) the goal of trans people of that gender

β€œfully transitioned” stems from forcing trans people to become sterilized to have their gender recognized (which is still the requirement in many places where gender changes are allowed)

β€œfully transitioned” implies that people who don’t (or can’t) centre cis-passing in their transition goals are β€œless transitioned” or less whole as trans people

How to do UK weather news:

Snow north of Oxford: β€œoverreacting Northerners have failed to respond to perfectly ordinary weather and have cost the economy millions”.

Snow south of Oxford: β€œadverse weather conditions have stranded thousands of people in their homes and government aid is on the way”.

Carrying 12kg of clutch pack for about a mile was not how I planned to start my Monday. At least it's done now.

Albedo (old furry TTRPG) is really seems like a labour of great care. It's perhaps so detailed that it's better of just simply being read sitting in the comfy chair smoking a pipe.

For everyone that's getting into #selfhosting #linux #homelab right now, a PSA:

I've been a professional, certified cloud engineer now for several years.

There is not a day that goes by where I'm not learning something, or feeling like an absolute beginner that's never coded a day in my life, even though I've been coding for a while now.

There is just too much knowledge for one human being to process.

So give yourself a break. Don't feel like you have to learn it all right now. (Spoilers: you won't)

You can do it incrementally. It can take you a long time. It's ok.

Just do what you can, when you can, and if you're feeling confused, then you're doing it right. That's normal.

Keep asking questions, and trying to solve problems.

There are sometimes well-meaning voices out there making it sound like "if you're not doing X and Y YOU'RE WRONG!!"

They may even be right about X or Y, but their delivery sucks.

Don't let that get to you.

Learn at your own pace. Do what you can, when you can.

You'll get better as you do it more.

POV you have alerted the dragon to your presence.

Marvel/Disney pulled the November 15th episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur titled "The Gatekeeper," featuring the openly transgender character Brooklyn dealing with being a trans athlete.

The episode has leaked on Wikipedia and I'm sure that's not what Disney or Marvel wants. So make sure you don't download the Torrent below and seed it.

Yo nerds, remember the DS9 mugs? The company still makes them (mildly redesigned) and they're restocking the Deep Space Purple version on Friday.

I bought one a year ago, and it's my daily driver when it's hot tea season (basically everything except summer).

I'm not getting anything for telling you all this, just sharing because I remember how many people were excited about my mug when I first got it. πŸ––πŸ’š

Thankfully in my area there are two stations that I regularly listen to, which aren't part of Bauer or Global (the two big chains in the UK), one of them being your standard community radio station and the other being a station for proper electronic dance music.

You've gotta support your local stations, even if it's just by listening to them. If you don't then all the local stuff will just disappear.

Literally every public health effort that helps queers not die from STI's will be met by people who want to shit on it or second-guess its efficacy or appropriateness or something

For "non homophobic" reasons ofc

Doxycycline: widely prescribed for acne

(No one cares)

Doxycycline: used on a prophylactic basis against STI's by the queers

Everyone: omg we really gotta think about antibiotic resistance in this case and ration drugs like these for important use cases, and not just queers
