Dear bands: please start putting your logo on slutty gothy shit you find at the thrift shop. I wanna support you but I’m simply too hot to be seen in a Gildan Unisex Medium.

i really love the pattern of trans girls choosing cute feminine names like violet or sophia, and then a year later going “actually, that’s my government name – you should call me Ochratoxin”.

@DoSomeMolly Even as a "cis guy" I always felt weird about those home-from-the-army guys with the high&tight buzz cut who talk to everyone like a drill sergeant. "Yessir. With milk, sir." Bro you're not being respectful you're just pulling me in your weird roleplay session. I'm not your dad!.

What’s the name of the effect where SEO’ed bullshit eventually crowds out the core offering of a platform? e.g. eBay had secondhand stuff, Amazon had books, Etsy had handmade jewelry. Now they all sell the same dropshipped fidget spinner under 50 different 255-character names.

reposing from ig a while ago:. all i'm gonna say about nex is:.a lot of my adolescence suddenly made sense when somebody explained to me that school bullying is a symbiotic social practice wherein adults indicate which kids are acceptable targets for ridicule and violence. 1/4
In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children.

@indigohaze @assumptionprime You know that feeling when you go to the bathroom and realize you left your phone downstairs and there's no distractions and you're finally alone with your thoughts? And they go "nowhere to run now mf, were gonna have a TALK.". I feel like 2020 was that on a grand societal level.

@ButNotTheCity One of my deepest and most painful resentments is the fact that I got diagnosed with ADHD 12 years old but I only understood it as a laundry list of character flaws that make adults get annoyed with me. It took another 18 for me to even hear about the other symptoms.

P.S. Nex’s death was not a suicide. This isn’t the cops/ME scrambling to cover for his murderers. They’re upholding the same bargain that underlies all bullying: acceptable targets don’t get noticed. The ME’s findings were set in stone before the attack even happened.

adults will pretend that bullies are maladjusted kids acting independently. but they're quite astute, intuiting and enforcing the social hierarchy being taught at school just as much as algebra or english literature. 2/4.

@catgraffam A while ago I heard a TED talk about how they made bitcoin for recycling. They were so proud. The idea: dump plastic in poor countries, then pay scavengers the 5¢ deposit in a boutique currency that only works at the company store to buy subsistence items like soap & cooking gas.

this really came into focus when i went back to college. our cohort had this one guy who would fidget with paper and occasionally have autistic meltsowns in class. one professor got pretty brazen about mocking him. at first in a "get a load of this guy" kind of way. 3/4.

Definitely noticed this with search results too. For example here's Googe Images vs Wikimedia Commons' results for "tachometer." Google's results are all shutterstock images and product photos — no "real" photos by normal people like those circled in red.
lately i've been really frustrated with google results for. everything. being useless.

@terriblytrans There's def is stuff I hadn't experienced before. Moments of confusion like 🤔"why is this clerk at the apple store acting like I don't know how a compu— ohhh I get it.".But it's so mean for cis women to see that and say "lol welcome to my world, sucks to suck." No empathy at all.

Parents don’t have rights. Period. Children have rights — parents have responsibilities. “Parents’ rights” is always, at heart, predicated the belief that children are property to be controlled, enjoyed, and disposed of at the owner sees fit.

@testosteronejew @DrewIsVeryGay There’s a really great article that hits this same point quantitatively by looking at the difference between timelines described by trans kids and their parents:.
Monday ROGD megapost: A new study asked both trans kids and their parents about the timing of their self-recognition as trans and coming out - a gap measured in years. How did parents see it? They thought both of these things happened at the same time.

As of today it’s been 2 years since I voided my warranty and started running on Estrogen. It’s been a wild but I’ve lived more since then than I did in my first 31 years. When trans people have birthdays I always think “I’m so glad you made it this far.” And I’m glad I did, too.
