Okay, if people are going to share screenshots of other people being transphobic, could you please put some kind of moderation tag on them?

I've seen the same Graham Linehan post a dozen times this morning now, and it's upsetting me.
I may not be around much, and if I do appear, please be gentle (I apologise in advance because I will not be coping well).

This is going to be a very difficult week for me. Today is just the first of what will definitely be three very bad days for me this week.

See you all hopefully much later.

Anyway. I need to go shower. It's also just started raining, because of course it's raining when I'm going to take part in a military veterans parade. Every November without fail.

Genuinely only discovered Americans think this way two days ago.

Chicken burgers and lamb burgers are just normal over this side of the Atlantic. Venison burgers and ostrich burgers are a thing too.

Hell, I almost never eat beef. Lamb burgers are superior.
Definitely the meat. Just because it’s hamburger buns does not make it a hamburger

The best part of having POTS and needing extra salt to stabilize your blood pressure is when someone starts selling counterfeit electrolytes that have no salt in them at all!

If you have POTS, double check the site you’re buying from, especially on mobile.

Didn't think I'd lose No Nut November, given I've been injecting E for so long I physically can't, but here we are.

Bluesky, uh, Bluesky finds a way.

automated content moderation is impossible to get right or even do reasonably well.

women *especially* get the worst of this when it comes to automated image analysis because of the ways those systems are implicitly biased to associate female bodies with sex basically any time a curve can be seen.

Blocked by a woman who writes Tudor fanfic about Henry VIII's love life for talking about how he was actually not a great king if you actually look at the history on here yesterday, lmao

The English indoctrination, sorry, education system, working as planned. 🙃

I was going to go with The Tick, but since everyone else already has... Mr Canoe Head.

And I'll be properly impressed if someone else gets that reference without looking it up.

Gender is a performance. Unfortunately I spent 31 years pretending to be a man badly before finally accepting a breakout role.
gender is a performance, and I'm terrible at improv. Can somebody hold up cue cards for me?

So, some unforeseen costs have come up.

No need to contribute if you can't do so safely, but I'd appreciate any help y'all can give. Sorry for asking despite being on hiatus.

Aw shit, it’s that time again. In light of Link’s continued unjust banning, I am once again doing Fund Me Friday.

Drop your links below and be sure to check the previous post for unmet needs.

Also, y’all should check out other posts that take up Link’s good work.
Fund Me Fridays is back!

In honor of Link, who remains unjustly banned, I will be reposting mutual aid links under this thread.

Drop your links and let’s meet some needs!

I'm still the same person. I'm just not lying to myself about who that is anymore.
How do you explain what happened to your past self once you transitioned?

Are they dead? Alive within you? Never alive in the first place? Or something else entirely?

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
