First test of the v2.0 articulated core for a new tentacle strapon. Eventually the core will be covered with a silicone tentacle sheath.

You see her coming at you with this; you dig it (Y/n)? #MadScience

An essay about death threats, censorship, loss, and the silence of cis people. All of these events happened in one week. I'm exhausted.

Transgender Dystopia Blues
One especially dystopian week in the life of a trans person in 2025 USA. Things are getting worse.

Of all the things to finally make me make an account on Genius it was an inaccuracy as to how Eminem references Tom Green in "Without Me"

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Related to the previous post, I’ve been making a lot of cursed art lately. May I present the very best sentence I’ve ever overheard
September 1, 2025 at 5:27 AM
I was concerned for a while that making art was no longer enjoyable to me. That I liked the idea of creating, but disliked the act of making. Despite being reassured that others felt this way, it was disheartening.

I am pleased to announce that drawing is as enjoyable as ever, once I get warmed up

Live your life so that people don’t consider rumors of your death a form of edging.

One of the best things you can do for your media literacy is listen to a podcast about a topic you're knowledgeable on. Especially if you like the podcast. It'll give you an idea of what kinds of facts the host omits vs includes, and once you can notice that, you'll notice other fingerprints 1/?

I wish more of the Dems in charge would notice the three great constants of Trump, he never deviates:

1. He will never deliver on a promise unless it was something he already wanted to do anyway
2. He will always betray anyone who shows any loyalty to him
3. He will always back down if resisted
I’m not hanging my hat on any of this but skipping Chicago after an inch of push back would be funny

A thread about how books, all books, are auto-flagged as obscene by US customs now. At first you think it's because of fascism and then you learn it's because of AI and then you realize there's no real difference between the two causes. AI allows fascism to flourish.
(7/??)

I believe our postal worker when he says this is the first time he’s seen a book going through customs get auto-flagged as OBSCENE

I have a bad feeling it will not be the last time he sees it

I do wonder if it’s only books going into the UK, given what they just did to their Internet

I've been taking #ambient #thunderstorm videos when I'm smoking on the porch, lately. I really like them, making them forces me to calm down and enjoy #nature. Defibrillator planning on doing more of these from the van. Enjoy a few minutes of my backyard #vibes #ambientnature #ambientthunderstorm

I promise there are already talking heads looking at these numbers and saying “1% of adults but 3% of kids? That means most of them detransitioning to on,” and not the real headline:
That until this new generation, abuse and transphobia have killed two thirds of each previous generation.
this analysis, the largest of its kind, released today.

the part that stood out: "among U.S. adults, 0.8% (over 2.1 million people) identify as trans. among youth aged 13 to 17 in the U.S., *3.3%* (about 724,000 youth) identify as trans.

our future quite literally depends protecting trans youth 🩵🩷

Thinking about the hole in the ozone layer, and how climate change deniers reap direct benefits from the conservation efforts of the past, yet would rather be richer than let future generations recieve the same benefits

What I made “today”: Tues Aug.5/25. Prepping for Animethon, I realized I was low on nonbinary, bisexual and rainbow stretchy bracelets, so I hustled to get some made before having to pack for the weekend.

What did you make today? #pride #chainmail

Wearily pointing at the sign once again that says you gotta defend porn because these fuckheads see every queer person as inherently pornographic and they always have and they always will. You have to defend it even if you don't personally engage with it because otherwise this happens. ⬇️
Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.

As a trans person my existence hurts nobody. It only hurts the concept that birth gender is destiny that shapes your entire life and what role you're supposed to be forced into, and that angers the people who are heavily invested in THAT *gender ideology*.

The extent to which this country mirrors the dreams where my teeth fall out is now uncanny. (I reach in my mouth and one comes out held between my fingers, but it's just the visible part, and I understand that it had no root. There was nothing below the surface.)
There is no nice, gentle way to say, “okay so a nation is, in effect, a currency, a military, and resource allocation. If you break all of those, you do not…have a country.”
