#introduction
I really hate the fact that nowadays, any time an organization or event that seems white-run or led has "freedom" in its name, I have an instant negative reaction and go investigating how evil it is

The fascist control of media and framing corrodes everything and everyone

May you never be the reason why someone who loves to sing, doesn't anymore. Or why someone who dressed so differently now wears standard clothing. Or why someone who always spoke of their dreams so wildly is now silent about them.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

Saying this as a parent.

Parents have obligations toward their kids. Not the other way around.

If a parent is abusive, manipulative, or damaging, children have every right to cut them out of their lives.

No one is obligated to put up with abuse from a parent. That's not how it works.

Really really!

This is true of other compliments as well! As my CM and my therapist have both pointed out, people don't *have* to compliment you. They choose to, taking time and getting past any anxiety they have, to do it.

So take them at face value as genuine, because they are.

And YOU are!
Remember, girls, if someone compliments your appearance, you are obligated to do two things:

1: believe them, because they mean it

2: respond with “fuck yeah, I’m gorgeous”, because you ARE.
Fuck yeah, I’m gorgeous!!

🥰🥰🥰 (thank you cutie)

People saw me suffering for years but couldn't figure out why or how to help.

And sadly more than a few people saw my fawn response, to put everyone else before me, as something they could utilize to their benefit. They didn't question it because it was to their advantage
You see, the thing about being trans is so many times other people will spot the signs you’re in pain before you do. This is often the result of you being brought up to put everyone else’s needs before yours. And it takes extra effort to de-program when you finally shed the expectations of others.

Happy Holidays, all!

The world is often a dark and scary place, but for today, I wish for everyone to have a bright spot and some joy, some respite from the ongoing fight for justice.

And if your birth family is wicked, you're always welcome to come here and take a rest with your found one 💜

One of the most terrifying things about genAI for images and video, at least for me, is that it corrodes our trust; always being on the lookout for diffusion artifacts leaves us unsure that anything is real.

The zone is then filled with shit without anyone having to put in effort to do so
So this is something I've been noticing more lately: people seeing an image, wrongly assuming it's AI, and then confidently raging about it being AI when it wasn't.

Example: the replies to this Pluribus-themed image Tim Cook posted on X.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was trapped in the phantom zone for all eternity.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was in the pipe; five by five.

Peak Lena was evidently 1917, which isn't helping me beat the allegations that I'm actually an immortal

Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, spent his high school career, spit on and shoved to agree, so he could watch all his heroes sell a car on TV
Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, please don’t put in the newspaper that he died

Transitioning doesn't change everything about a person

I still can't wrap presents worth a damn 😅

It's weirdly affirming that Facebook now thinks I either am trying to get pregnant or that I have PCOS

Their algorithm is hilarious, or perhaps it knows something about me that I don't 😅

why did you transition, wrong answers only

Well, that was just another notch in the "strange" side of my life.

Guy sitting on a porch next door: *watches me drive up*
Guy, as I get out of my car: What would you think about renting me that car for a few days?
Me: Uh... no
Me: *quickly gets into my house*

Over 30 selfie thread.

I'm 45, on HRT for almost 4 years now.

And no, no one believes I'm 40+. Usually I get somewhere between 28-32.

There. Is. Still. Time!

At my petition signing event tonight, I was yapping about being a grad student and my CM and a couple of attendees agreed if my career in politics doesn't work out, I could go into stand-up comedy
