with 4chan dying, there will probably be an exodus of users onto other platforms. a bunch will likely end up on this app. it's important that you all remember to bully the shit out of them when they do show up!

I have acquired a journal that has a lovely tooled leather cover that I love. Sadly it's full of paper that absolutely HATES fountain pens. So now I guess I need to find something to do with the leather after I extract the paper from it.

Does anyone know of or have recs for a top-bound weekly planner? (Preferably with good paper, but I'll compromise there)

Thing about Goulet fountain pens, and Noodler's, and everybody else I've decided sucks, is yes, they can believe whatever they want. I won't stop them.
But If I can tell what someone's values are, I will absolutely use this information to make my purchasing decisions. I don't OWE these ppl money.

It's been sitting, waiting hopefully for me to take it up, yet I have been too scared. Today, though, I opened @rblemberg.bsky.social 's The Unbalancing and though I wept more than once, it is still a book of great love. It is a story I needed. It is a story I should have read sooner.

Pixar forcing queer and POC stories to go straight to streaming, then using the lack of theatrical success as an excuse to kill queer and POC stories is the entire entertainment industry in a nut shell.

It's the flag I show, to show my solidarity, but given that Stonewall was a riot, the architects of whom were trans women of color, that we felt the need to do this feels like a constant reminder we moved away from the very foundations our movement was built upon.

There's a lot of talk about Pride flags today. I fall into the category of whatever flag suits you, you should fly, but I find it a bit sad that the Progressive Pride flag came to be because Pride itself had been co-opted so hard by cis white queerdom that the inclusion wasn't automatic.

I guess my glass dip pen didn't like the shit I was talking about it and decided it was better to go out in its own terms. Flinging Diamine Oxblood all over my desk & clothes as it took a dive straight to the floor was a slightly over-dramatic choice but one I expect in this household.

At that point the argument was "if more people get it, everyone will go crazy and become violent."
And then millions of people did get it.
And houses were not burnt down. People did not become stimulant-addled violence factories.

Noting here that the therapeutic index of prescription stimulants is about 1/4-1/3 the quantity for recreational use (i.e. a prescription dose usually maxes around 60mg/day, while the average recreational dose starts around 200mg) while that’s not true for opiates, so DEA talking out their ass again

So so so much of the panic around trans kids is centered in the fact that parents struggle with recognizing their kid has an interior life. It denies trans kids the closet and autonomy, and positions "reality" as "things are only real when I am made aware of them" which is fundamentally selfish.
"ROGD" is a parent flipping out when their queer child (of any age, truly) finally got up enough nerve to tell them they're queer.
That's all it is.
So for the parents, who've been thus far oblivious, it appears rapid.
And these parents have always assumed their child is an empty vessel.

The original study on "rapid onset gender dysphoria" — a bunk concept based exclusively on the accounts of transphobic parents — is some of the most blatant moral-panic research I've ever seen.
