So do you think sex workers in the Charmin commercial universe get exclusively paid in toilet paper? Like you just throw a roll at a big thicc bear lady and she rocks your world? 
Being "normal" gets a bad rap because people associate it with an objectively horrible status quo, whereas to me wanting to be "normal" has always been about not playing the game of life on Nightmare difficulty and wanting to tear my skin off all the time to escape it.

I'm not sharing this to argue the merits/flaws in the Online Safety Act or similar legislation as a general point or Apple complying – it has to; it's law – but signpost a specific real-world edge case…

I don't drive, and I've never owned a credit card. Suddenly that makes me 17 again (hurrah),

While it's always flattering when people assume I'm younger than I am, it's rather unfunny to be unable to use apps or services I pay for...

Hmm. I find bweeprints and 💙 all over my drafts. Curious.
Once again came up with a great throughline for a lightning talk during my kid’s kendo practice, there’s just something about screaming children hitting each other with sticks that gets the juices flowing

A small set of people are merging changes to various Linux components to make sure every application knows your birth date.

This is being done rapidly by people with questionable justifications and being merged with no youth and few marginalized people involved.

Okay, so I really don't love how bottom surgery turned out for me. It'd be very nice to go back and snag a phalloplasty. A doctor is even down to do this. Just like, some problems.

  • I'd probably have to drop literally 100 pounds, something mentally and physically grueling to do.
  • My bits already are... Tender and get sore real damn easy. Like, using a strap hurts. So I could do this and it'd just be a literal pain in the end.
  • My partners are pretty damn ace and being immunocompromised, my chances of finding folks to even use said penis with are pretty damn low.

So like... I'm in a heck of a mental bind over this all the time. Is it even worth all the mental effort and high risk for something I might not even get to enjoy and use? That might also leave me depressed after I manage it all? But by doing nothing, I remain pretty damn miserable with huge bouts of dysphoria and depression to deal with in regular waves.

This is one of those times I wish there was actual good support for folks who have transitions go haywire cuz I got no idea who to even ask about these things or how to mentally figure out this risk/reward equation. 

Disrepair is when someone gains esteem.

I’d like to have as many folks vote on this as possible, given the nature of the topic (i.e., copyright). If you keep in touch with any “old timers,” let them know I’d love to have their approval. Spread the word!
