Had a dream where Leo Tolstoy had gynecomastia. It wasn’t even the focus of the dream, he was just really nonchalant about having nice tits

Finally finished Church Dogmatics IV/1. Less likely that I will wrap up the entire CD by the end of the year but the end is still in sight

Great piece by @oriion.bsky.social and a great representation of what research suggests is more the norm than the exception. Detransitioners generally do not identify as cisgender even after detransition and often do not regret their transition.
“The hypocrisy just proves to me that no matter what I do, people are going to be transphobic to me. People are going to question my gender. And I just have to do me.”
Her gender transition set her free. So did her detransition.
The joy that Adriana Del Orden feels in her body could have only come through transitioning. She’s tired of being told that she ruined her life.

2025 has been a world-historically bad year for humanity but I’ve noticed that I’m in a much better place mentally/spiritually than I was at this time last year, which is nice

I’m on a bit of a James Cameron kick lately and somehow it took me until now to realize that Titanic is basically just a remake of The Terminator’s emotional arc (woman whose life sucks is guided through a traumatic experience by a sacrificial love interest dude and becomes cooler as a result)

I'm quite deep into the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster. FFT feels like the most baseball FF. Or, alternatively, baseball is the most FFT sport.

I seem to be feeling better now?? Very confusing signals my body has been sending me lately
hmm I seem to maybe be getting sick right at the beginning of a particularly busy few weeks for me. Not liking this development

“All Spice” sounds like a poorly translated blue magic spell in a Final Fantasy game

Rewatched. Probably one of my favourite movies ever? Real gay Calvinism here
Picnic At Hanging Rock turned out to be a good movie choice for my birthday. Lots of jesscore vibes, horror-adjacent oneiric period drama with femininity confronting or being absorbed into the cosmic unknown, etc.

The Exorcist 3 was pretty cool. A Cantankerous Old Guy movie in the best possible sense. Lots of interesting choices and a surprising sense of humour. Ending kinda sucks tho

Or "what if only one person is elect, but it's Jesus Christ (whispers) *so really it's everybody*" [Karl Barth, and also me]
Late-Stage Calvinism is just shrugging and saying either "what if everybody is elect" or "what if nobody is elect"
Sometimes my brain mixes up “late-stage capitalism” and “cage-stage Calvinism.”

Cage-Stage Capitalism is when aspiring capitalists argue angrily at you about Friedrich Hayek a whole lot.
