this is the abode of chaos. be warned
I'm a pacifist like institutionally but I'm absolutely certain that violence solves at least some problems on a much smaller level. I don't believe in wars or nuclear weapons or military campaigns I do believe in the power of that guy who punched the nazi in the face so hard his entire media presence immediately crumbled to dust
i've been thinking that i'm non-binary recently (still not sure about it), but i wouldn't call myself trans, even though it's the bigger umbrella term. i just feel that as an amab "demiboy"/demiguy i don't experience "enough" dysphoria
i've even been thinking that i might be bigender since i've had a female persona in my head for a very long time and i wouldn't mind if i was able to switch between a male/female body at will
why is this gender shit hard to figure out!!!
i am pretty confident that i'm a demiguy now but i still feel the first part
as for the second part, i'd rather have an androgynous or masculine body. getting a female body out of nowhere wouldn't really be something that i'd want. tried out she/her for some time and it didn't feel right. i could present fem in a visual way on occasion ig
i've been considering low-dose hrt (when i get outta here) to get a more androgynous body, but i really don't want the "area below" to shrink and the "area above" to grow, so to speak
update:
i'm definitely nonbinary. and now i'm pretty confident that i do experience a certain dysphoria
i feel incredibly disgusted when i'm treated with an expectation of being a masculine man. not just in a societal and gnc way, but viscerally, on the level of my body, my mind, and the whole concept of self
i view myself as male-aligned just enough for me to be comfortable using the term "gay" instead of something like "achillean", which i never cared for. when i'm with a man i feel more comfortable enhancing my masculinity to enable a more "gay" dynamic. which i suppose could be some kind of genderfluidity
meanwhile, my feminine self is just that, feminine. i don't feel like a woman or particularly want to feel like one. sometimes i want to present in a more feminine way, but my inner perception of gender remains non-binary
the thought of a silly scenario like being trapped in a cis female body after pressing a button is genuinely stressful to me. and sometimes it's fun to be mistaken for a woman, but i know that if it was more consistent i wouldn't feel that way anymore
in the past i used to lash out at egg and forcefem jokes, and i thought i was just suppressing my "true" transfem self out of insecurity. turns out i was just overreacting and perceiving them as telling me what gender i must be, when that was never the goal of those jokes anyway. some people can genuinely take it too far, but it's better to give grace rather than assume malice
i want to move my body more towards androgyny/subdued masculinity. i'm open to trying low dose estrogen and lasering off my body (and possibly) facial hair if i could ever afford it somehow
i think i first started using he/they in 2022. i feel like more of a they/he on occasion
god. shinzo abe got his shit wrecked by a goddamn doohickey but the lethal gunshot wound capital of the world cant aim for shit. what the fuck is the second amendment even for
This post is almost 11 years old now, so I feel like it’s time for an update:
$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;
I am PRO-WOOL
I am PRO-LEATHER
I am PRO-BEES
Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.
Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.
“but the industry-”
listen there is a huge difference between an industry with problems that can be made sustainable and more humane, and an industry that cannot, given current technology, continue to the present degree without destroying our planet
Wool - Contrary to what bullshit mongers like PETA would have you believe, wool is one of the most ethical materials humans have ever worked with. Happy sheep make better wool, experienced shearers seldom nick their sheep, and older sheep produce more wool, meaning its best to keep them alive and treat them well for many years.
Leather - one cow makes SO MUCH leather. One deer makes SO MUCH leather. Well-treated leather lasts almost FOREVER. Even animals with small skins like rabbits, a pair of well oiled rabbit leather gloves will last decades. Every animal usually made into leather is also a meat animal, so it’s more sustainable to get more than one product from a single ethically butchered animal (humane kills make less punctures in the hide!) Leather can be tanned with natural resources like brains and doesn’t require treatment with chemicals that seep into the groundwater!
Cotton: Cotton is a fucking plant, it burns. The growing and harvesting of cotton is rather water intensive but it IS possible to sustainably harvest and reuse the water spent in the cleaning process to reduce the ecological footprint of the crop. It burns clean, it cuts clean, it’s sturdy, and there are 1000 ways to weave it to change its properties.
Bees & Honey: yes yes, the european honey bee is an invasive species, we know that. But honey has been cultivated by humans for just about as long as there have been humans, and they 100% choose to be cultivated. Like bees can and will leave if they’re not treated and maintained well. They understand that humans protect and clean the hives, and often become familiar with their keepers, choosing to walk on and investigate them instead of acting defensive. If animal welfare and consent are your concerns, honeybees aren’t the animals to worry about. If you, like me, are worried about native bee species, instead of creating hives you can strip an area of grass and leave an open area of clay and sandy soil to attract mason and digger bees to nest in the spring. They will happily coexist with honey bees as long as you plant the native keystone species the native bees rely on (like indian blanket flower, partridge pea, native violets in my area) as well as the high nectar plants that honeybees prefer (like roses, sunflowers, bee balm and cone flowers). Nature is actually really adaptable and accommodating of the human urge to cultivate plants and animals, and the idea that nature is ‘dead’ rather than ‘neglected’ is something that corporations want you to believe so you don’t oppose them spraying pesticides every 15 feet.
are you kidding me
obscure (outside of japan and a lil inside japan i think) japanese social media app mixi2 actually has a tfc community
might only be 8 other people but STILL. the fandom reach is bigger than i thought
hey so don't use this. RabbelLabs, the company actually creating this platform, trains AI models. Jack Dorsey is best friends with Elon Musk and they both advocate constantly for the abolition of IP law because it stands in the way of AI 'growth' (theft). They're banning AI on the platform so they can use it as a clean slate to train more fucking AI. They're also using images of Divine, the drag queen, to push their shit and I guarantee they didn't get permission from her estate.
The DiVine website says that it's made by Rabble.
If you go to their website you can find this:
if you click that And Other Stuff you're taken to an entirely different website that explains what all that 'other stuff' is: five pillars of building Nostr AI.
You have to wonder why they're hiding it, right? Why is it so hard to find? Why register an entirely different domain (it's andotherstuff.com, not like rabblelabs.com/andotherstuff) just to talk about the AI stuff you're doing if you're so proud of it?
Stop simping for billionaires just because they jingle keys in your face, start doing some fucking research.
‘Trans Men Have Male Privilege’ =/= ‘Trans Men have the same exact privileges as Cis Men and are treated as such’
“But society doesn’t recognize them as-”
that’s lacking cis privilege
ten fucking years
Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.
BURN BAGEL BURN
OH WHY NOT?
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
Bagel what are your powers
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD
The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!
This is the land we’ve become. In Bagel We Trust. lol
I’m ashamed. Got amazing news less than 30 seconds after I hit “reblog.”
Hmmm…
reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead
Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.
Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.
(If you have zero idea about the name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)
Are you safe?
Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.
I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.
I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.
A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.
The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.
I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.
…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.
(Six months ago, I did a version of this poll with about five hundred options on the spinner wheel. For this one, I more than doubled it.)
not a fan of ppl who treat being leftist as some kind of school clique. and it feels bad to say bc i don't wanna sound like a dipshit. but some people want emotional catharsis from being correct more than actual liberation of peoples and a better world
and i know where it comes from to some degree, but we gotta be better than that, or we're going to make many mistakes and maybe even leave blind spots. in worst case coopting oppressive ideology but worded in a "progressive" way, in a somewhat less worse case, splitting hairs over flags, labels or whatnot
i think a lot of it comes from inexperience of participating or organizing in the physical reality rather than online, including myself. and we should strive to participate, at least within our means and capabilities. ofc not everyone is able to
and there's "educate yourself" which has kind of become a meme, it shouldn't just be used as a gotcha. if you have resources to share, then do, if the other person still doesn't care, well, at least you tried
if you see an especially annoying person online, block and move on rather than try to win the argument. it is very very very tempting to leave a snarky response but think about the bigger picture, would it even matter?
and in some cases there should be a balanced, neutral viewpoint. if you automatically antagonize a person over a small misgiving rather than evaluating them fully, you could be missing out on a chance to help them be better. or not. just think it over a bit
help each other out if you can
Do you have patterns when it comes to OCs? For example, always making them tall or dark eyed
why do i have to perceive the toothpaste flag discource again
I support the "fiction isn't real so nothing matters" mindset but tbf at a certain point it can tip over into "the curtains are just blue" territory
like yes actually there is a conversation to be had about how a characters actions are framed and how they thematically fit with the rest of the story and it can in fact reflect the author's beliefs. some authors are even trying to make a point
not all depiction is glorification but sometimes it is and you need to be able to tell the difference. not because your immortal soul will be tainted by reading The Bad One, but because you need to have reading comprehension skills
