Trans TMG Bracket: Grand Finale!

White Cedar "I will be made a new creature" "And you can’t tell me what my spirit tells me isn’t true, can you"

Heretic Pride "And I start laughing like a child / And I mark their faces one by one / Transfiguration's gonna come for me at last / And I will burn hotter than the sun / I waited so long / And now I taste jasmine on my tongue / And I feel so proud to be alive / And I feel so proud when reckoning arrives"

Which Song is More TRANSGENDER?

It's so funny that our two finale songs never had any propaganda submitted! We all just looked at those songs and went "yeah"

[cheztrashcan]

it was the song I had on repeat immediately after I came out. no song is better to help face the roiling hatred of the Straight World, that uptight cruel selfish place so long ago damned it cannot recognize the hell it has created. no song can better remind you what a genuine triumph you are, resplendant and radiant clothed in freedom and love itself.

"I waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue

And I feel so proud to be alive

And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives"

[prokopetz]

Yeah, it's kind of funny that a lot of companies are now re-hiring junior programmers to save on LLM credits, but it's not surprising. From a pure line-goes-up perspective, working people to death is almost always better than automation. That isn't an indictment of LLMs in particular – it's just how this shit works.

[prokopetz]

Like, yeah, joke about the "self-driving car" service that turned out to be employing remote drivers in the Philippines if you want, but it's not only a tech grift; the fact of the matter is that even if the technology was there, making that guy in the Philippines pull sixteen-hour shifts with no bathroom breaks until he dies of a bladder infection is almost certainly cheaper than "real" AI would be, and that's the actual reason they do it. They wouldn't deliver on their promises even if they could.

[justabo-y]

Oh guys...this graphic novel break me. It was so good 😭 it's talk about so much things (found family, grief, mercy, zombies, queerness in small town ....)

Please give books rec with zombies. Better if it's queer

[cheztrashcan]

Bleeding Hearts from DC's Vertigo label just put out issue #3 or maybe #4. Its not quite so queer, but its a fantastic zombie story so far. After zombies have long taken over and only a few humans remain, one zombie, suddenly and very much to his dismay, feels his heart begin to beat again

we are truly in a zombie story renaissance

You need to understand that twenty years ago this was considered the pinnacle of online culture.

song of the summer!!

[cheztrashcan]

i was on steam just looking around at the new games and I saw a game called Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! where you just sort out a library. straight up alphabize a magical library that has had all its books thrown off the shelves. and you organize those books. i gather there are... organization powers? to help you. but the goal really is simply to tidy

anyway, the reviews:

what god do i thank for this? not any of the normal ones surely

[nenastrology]

light was such a loser cuz he didnt just google the 100 richest people and start writing down names

[wyrmzone]

how would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and find out exactly 100 of the world’s richest people died of heart attacks at exactly noon universal time. can you imagine the theories. light is absolutely a loser for not doing this

[jotaillustrator]

[exigencelost]

[ID: Reply from elumind that says: “Do the richest one every week and see next in line lose their shit and try to get rid of the money. I think of this almost daily.” /end ID.]

The notes on this are wild because people are legit passionately arguing about why this wouldn’t work. No one said it would work. They said he’s a loser for not doing it.

[athingofvikings]

There has to be a *pattern* to it, though, to really get their attention. Like it has to be the same time of day, the same day, each week.

[hazeldomain]

The first one stands up and draws a massive A on the nearest wall before dropping dead. 

Exactly one week later, Thursday at 3:13 PM, the next one looks up, blank-faced, and uses a car key to scratch the word ‘CAMEL’ into the side of their car. There are memes. 

The week after that, in the middle of an interview, the third victim turns to the camera and says ‘THROUGH.’ He drops dead. 

The man who writes “EYE” is in a private underground bunker. Enough radiation shielding to survive a direct nuclear strike. There are fifteen guards posted at the door- surveillance confirms not one of them left their post. 

By the time “NEEDLE” is scratched into the upholstery of a private yacht, people are starting to give money away. 

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Like most of us I’ve thought extensively on this since I first saw Death Note and came to the conclusion that the most likely reaction would be people creating more byzantine ways of keeping hold of their resources while not technically counting them as personal resources and not technically being so rich. With enough shell companies, fake charities, and resources stashed in secret or illegal places or the bank accounts of relatives, people could keep most of what they have while dropping right off any list of wealthiest people. The wealthy are often experts at this for tax fraud reasons. Light’s response, of course, would be to start taking these things into account, seeking out hackers and accountants and various other experts to keep track of the actual wealthiest, and the wealthy (many of whom would be willing to risk their lives to stay that way) would use the dying as a metric for what the mysterious killer was using to score wealth and try to find ever more secret methods of resource hoarding. An accountancy arms race would be underway.

I’m not saying it’s a bad idea. I’m saying it would make a fantastic Death Note rewrite. Instead of Light making stupid mistakes against L, he could actually put his genius to work in Death Note: The Accountancy Wars.

The three types of kink are

* you have power

* you're safe

* feet

[foone]

this is a shitpost but I think it's not THAT wrong. Most kink is either one of (or a combination of):

You get to play at having power over someone else. This is your dominance sorts of things, your sadisms, etc.

You get to play safely. You can play with scary things while knowing there's safewords and a dom/top who loves you.

Feet. By which I mean, there's some normal part of the human experience that your brain has for some reason fixated on. Maybe you're into red hair, or glasses, or fluffy tails.

[foone]

"safety" can also present as "useful". You have some intrinsic value that cannot be taken from you (because of some sex/kink thing). The safety is from abandonment, because you're useful, despite everything. And "useful" is a bunch of kinks (none of which I'm comfortable mentioning here).

[sleepydogdisease]

oh no, animal ears are feet

[foone]

yeah. cat ears are feet!

[mere-technicality]

can someone turn this into the calvin's dad dialogue

[foone]

oh god, this is so obviously calvin's dad dialogue that now I'm worried that I plagiarized it without realizing it

[madigail]

the two types of tumblr post are calvin's dad and rule 34. all posts fall into one of these two categories. despite being kink-related, this post is actually calvin's dad.

If I had a nickel for every time my birthday was ruined by Donald Trump escalating armed conflict in the Middle East for no reason, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

(Trump bombed Syria on my birthday back in 2017)

(Trump’s deadline for Iran to open the Straight of Hormuz before escalating conflict is my birthday this year)

[closet-keys]

it's sad to me that cis people never apply their "loved one with a wanted-pregnancy" script to medical transition. like cis people often indicate they don't know how to react to hearing about medical transition, but a huge portion of that social script is directly applicable.

tell someone "congratulations!" tell them "I'm so happy for you. I know you've been trying for a really long time." ask them "do you need help with anything?" throw them a party with loved ones where you all give them some gifts in acknowledgement of how expensive it is. celebrate how far along they are. take photos with them so they have a record of being loved while their body changes. allow them to voice fears and doubts and anxieties about how it'll go, and reassure them that they'll get through the intense medical procedure coming up & you'll be there for support no matter what. let them tell you about the gross parts and laugh together. really listen to them when they talk about how amazing and profound it is that the human body can do this. share in their excitement for beginning a new stage of their life.

If there are complications, comfort them and help them navigate what's next. If they lose access suddenly due to finances or criminalization, treat it like a miscarriage and hold them while they grieve.
