@deltoca
Howdy! I’m Del! This is my everything and anything side account, but it’s technically my ‘main’ so if you follow me over at @deloc-deltoca (my actual main, and also art account) and I follow you back from here, that’s why.
I plan on having a better about me on my main, but here’s the basics: Im African American, 21, and use they/them pronouns. That’s all yous gots to know rn :]
Might change up this blog and cross posting my art here more,,,,,
You are a white trans girl who got out of high schools only a few years ago. You're living on your own in a one bedroom apartment, barely able to make rent each month. You make friends with a trans TME at your local library and you slowly integrate into their friend group, filled primarily with other trans TMEs. There's one other white trans girl there, but other than that, it's TMEs. You enjoy their company. They sometimes help you out with rides and groceries. Not a lot, but enough that it helps take some stress off your shoulders. You stick around with them for a good few years.
One day, the other white tgirl is cut out of the friend group. You question it, and your first friend replies that the vibes were ""off"" with her. You're unsure how to respond, so you just go along with it. You never saw her again.
Three years after becoming part of this group, you start to notice things. Such as how they'll never meet your eyes when you discuss starting to save up for bottom surgery. But they're delighted when Xander, one of your other friends, announces his top surgery only a few weeks later. You dismiss it as them just not knowing as much about transfemininity as they do transmasculinity.
One day you're walking with your friends and you go into the women's bathroom. You hear one of your friends grumble about something, but again, you dismiss it. When Xander follows you in and watches you like a hawk, you ask him what's wrong, and he just mumbles that it might be safer and easier for you to just go in the men's bathroom, you snap that it's none of his business and leave. Your other friends tell you that he just meant for the best. You walk home alone after that. They don't talk to you for a couple of days.
When you do meet up with them again, they seem happy. Your first friend shakes your hand and says "hey man, nice to see you again!" You stiffen, surprised. They seem to realize what they said, and claim that they didn't mean it that way, that they just used it as a general phrase and wasn't directly referring to you. It doesn't do anything to stop the hurt. You're miserable in your own skin for the next couple days. They keep telling you it's not how they meant it, but they don't apologize. Eventually one of your other friends snaps and tells you to just calm down and stop making a mountain out of a molehill. You excuse yourself and walk home again. The next day, you find that all of your friends have blocked you, with the friend who misgendered you adding a text that it wasn't personal, you were just bringing bad vibes.
You're sad for a few years. You don't befriend anyone else until you move to another area. Here, you meet a group of almost entirely trans girls. White-dominated, but there's a Black tgirl there as well, and two TME enbies. Many of these girls have similar experiences to you, so they seeked out company in other trans girls. You get along well.
One day, you're watching one of your TME friends talk to the Black trans girl. They let a "dude" slip out when referring to her. You jump in and correct them, and they quickly apologize. The Blacj tgirl doesn't not accept the apology, but she doesn't look very happy for the remainder of that day. You pull her to the side and she tells you that she knows they didn't mean it, but it doesn't make it hurt less, and she felt that her hurt wasn't acknowledged at all.
You tell her that you understand.
A couple weeks later, it happens again, and this time, the Black tgirl snaps and tells them not to call her that. Georgia, a white trans girl, jumps in and tells them to break it up. Tells the TME not to say that, and tells the Black girl to calm down because they didn't mean it. The Black tgirl looks at you as though hoping you'll jump in, tell Georgia that she had a right to be upset. After all, you understood.
You look away. You think the Black tgirl has a right to be upset, but you're worried about causing a bigger fight. You don't want to be cut out of this friend group too. The meetup is tense after that. The Black tgirl is clearly unhappy, but this time when you try to talk to her, she refuses and said she couldn't trust you. The words sit in your heart like a festering sore over the months.
One day, Georgia makes a joke about slavery, side-eyeing the Black tgirl as though she expects a reaction. You and your friends all laugh, except for her. The Black tgirl just asks if you really all found that funny. Georgia tells her not to be a killjoy, that it was just a joke. A couple of your other friends nod subtly. The Black tgirl retreats and stays on the fringes of the group for the rest of the day. And once again, she refuses to talk to you when you press her about it.
You leave her alone. That's clearly what she wants.
The next day is a discussion about white supremacy. The Black tgirl is talking about how one of her cousins was recently assaulted by a cop. She says it would have never happened if he was white. A bristling sensation falls over the rest of the group. Another girl protests that white queer people also get targeted, to which the Black tgirl responds, "at a disproportionately lower rate than Black people, especially Black queer people." One of the TMEs snaps that it isn't a competition. Another girl adds that she's tired of everything being made into a race issue.
The Black tgirl can't get a word in as more people weigh in, and the conversation shifts to transphobia and ""infighting"". She keeps getting told to wait her turn. Eventually, she storms out, flipping you all off as she leaves. Somebody breathes out a "thank god." The conversation shifts again. "I always thought something was off with her!" "She's such a bitch, I'm sick of her attitude!" "She thinks she's better than us." "She makes issues out of the tiniest things." "She's manipulative." "I'm glad she finally showed her true colors."
You sit there, and let them talk. You're still rattled by how angry she got. You felt a little bad, but this was probably for the best. She didn't trust you anyways. She clearly didn't need your support. So you accept the group's decision to cut her out. You don't see her again. You don't try to reach out.
Clearly she just wants to be alone.
New AU bullshit!!!!
Meet the main vocalist and lead guitarist for the hit new band rocking West City’s bars and performance halls: The Vandals of Vegatasi!!!!! Who are definitely not aliens hiding away on Earth because they’re wanted by the space government.
Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!
For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com
as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!
goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you
some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!
if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too
good luck out there 👍

dollarfor.org saved my broke ass, it can save urs too
Fun thing about football right now is that there's a move called the "brotherly shove" that the Eagles do when they're very close to scoring, where the whole team puts their hands on the ass of the guy with the ball and physically propels him over the line into the endzone for the touchdown, and all the other teams' fans hate it because it's got such a ridiculously high rate of success for the Eagles and doesn't really seem to work for any other team. People are straight-up calling for this move to be banned, claiming it's "unstoppable" and gives an "unfair advantage" but it really and truly is a skill issue. The whole league hates this move because it only makes the Eagles win more often and nobody else can figure out how to do it right
Other teams are so afraid of it that they panic and do some wacky looney tunes shit to try and stop it. The refs had to come out on the field and tell the bad guys to stop doing this
because it's blatantly against the rules of football, and that if they tried it a fourth time in a row that they would just straight-up grant a free touchdown to the Eagles
The rest of the NFL: this move doesn't work for us but it always works for the eagles... how do we stop them, we've tried everything... Washington Commanders Linebacker Frankie Luvu: ...not everything... Washington Commanders Linebacker Frankie Luvu:
i’m so fucking sick of people taking aspects of historical gay sexuality and saying “but what if i made it squeaky clean and sexless so i can have it” sometimes not everything is for you babes!!! sometimes you don’t get to have everything!!!
“what’s the hanky for ppl who don’t wanna have sex or do kink or any of that” there isn’t one!!! it’s called not wearing a fucking hanky!!! because it’s not fucking for you!!!!!
capitalism and individualism has rotted people’s brains to the point that it feels like a lot of people don’t understand that some things just aren’t fucking for them and they don’t need to twist and change it to force it to apply to them!!! sometimes things are not!!! for!!! you!!!
(Reupload bc I forgot something)
AU! Ekko based on something my friend and I have been working on! He’s basically adopted into the Talis’ family and attends the academy alongside Jinx
Lets talk about some of the new changes happening with the remastered version of OFF!!! (LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!!!!)
All this info is from the Mortis Ghost stream he made talking about the game!
There's now a respawn function! When you die, it gives you an option to start back at the room you originally died in
There's now a hint button you can press when you're unsure what to do next or if a puzzle is a little too hard
Updated animations/sprites (footstep trails! ladder animation!)
New main menu screen!
Zacharie's shop menu is also new!
New things are in the game that can't be shown yet, but here's some info we are allowed to know about;
Battle system has been reworked, more balanced and more fun
There will be more announcements in the future about the development of the game!
They no longer have the rights to the OG music + soundtrack so they have to remake it all for this version
The original game will forever be free and the original soundtrack will stay on that version too
New content including new secrets, new bosses, new areas and more!
Will release in English and French at first and will later get a Japanese version at another date
Could (probably) have Steam achievements though he's unsure
Some new lore is being added in the comic book that's only available in the Switch Collector's Edition
I hope this guy fucking dies because
A) he's Mr Beast
B) he has WAY too much money if he's renting out the PYRAMIDS OF GIZA????
C) renting out actual historical landmarks that have already been desecrated and destroyed over thousands of years for a goddamn youtube video is actually disgusting.
idk if you think that they're "just the pyramids", they're the ONLY remaining wonder of the ancient world!!! Not to mention!! they're TOMBS!! sure, the people who were inside are long gone, but like?? idk, maybe i'm oversely sensitive, but being a white dude and desecrating an ancient burial site (for profit) and thus disregarding thousands upon thousands of years of history and culture is probably Up There with the scummy stuff this jackass has done
Sick in the head with how much I love these two
arthur and john if they dont get that damn stone
luigi mangione, the SUSPECTED (innocent until proven guilty) united healthcare shooter, has been charged with terrorism. that’s right. a man who supposedly shot ONE SINGLE PERSON is being charged with terrorism. because in america, billionaires lives matter enough that a SINGLE rich man’s death is considered a terrorist act against this country. think about that.
Added Context: over a decade of US cops and the FBI explaining how they can't --JUST CANT!!-- charge conservative terror-groups with Terrorism, no matter the intent and scale of their violence, because the laws just dont ALLOW them to charge domestic terrorists
y'all HAVE to watch this...interview??? with the inmates of the prison where luigi mangione is being held.
the reporter is standing outside the prison walls, while the inmates are inside watching newsmax, and collectively screaming out one-word answers to questions loud enough to be heard by the reporter.
I've never seen anything like it
People are talking about how this interview is some of the best journalism they’ve ever seen, and how it’s probably the most humanizing, fair coverage inmates have EVER had. How it’s giving a voice to the voiceless, how it’s going to legit change people’s views towards prison.
And they’re RIGHT
Just want to clarify for anyone who was hesitant like me about the source, this is NOT newsmax, the far right propaganda channel that thinks Fox News is too liberal — it is actually NewsNation, aka WGN, a legitimate news source
kicked out of the debate for interrupting all my opponent's arguements by saying "me when i'm a dipshit idiot" and then threatening to kill them in increasingly erotic tones
you guys made luigi mangione trend for days and I need to see the same energy for brianna boston. she is a 43 year old mother of three who ended a phone call with blue cross blue shield (after being denied a claim) “delay deny depose, you people are next” and is now being held under a 100,000$ bond and could face FIFTEEN years of prison if charged. she has no weapons, her record is clean, and yet she is being held behind bars. they are afraid of the public and are trying to subdue. do not let them!!!! be outraged that our freedom of speech is being threatened!!!!! deny defend depose! free brianna boston!
Good news, she is out with all charges dropped
This is apparently false (a lie, given the Polk Co Sheriff's reporting), she has not been released without charges, she has been placed under house arrest pending trial
https://www.wfla.com/news/briana-boston-case-how-would-attorneys-defend-against-threat-accusation/
Do not take your eyes off her case. The announcement that she had been "released without charges" is almost certainly an effort to disrupt the immediate groundswell of public sympathy this exhausted and persecuted single mother is receiving.
