An analysis of posting trends on Tumblr suggests that the ideal form of the visual novel is a semi-linear murder mystery whose gameplay consists of solving middle-school "who lives in the blue house?" style verbal logic puzzles, except every time you guess wrong a mean bisexual MILF makes fun of you.

im just so happy i live in a time period where actual meaningful biological transition is possible. even if we lose rights or the ability to exist in public, nothing can turn back the clock on that, and just by having any sort of access to that our lives are made immensely better. millions of our sisters throughout history would never have dreamed of a day where they could have what HRT does for us.

please don't lose the plot of this. if you're a trans person on HRT you're a living miracle, the dream of hundreds of millions of your ancestors. your lives are all deeply meaningful no matter what anyone says.

Cursed be the one who announced to my father: “It’s a boy!"... ...How could he twist the course of the stars so much? How could he have erred so in his astrology? A lying tongue, a fool’s mouth it had given him For he foolishly transformed justice to poison He altered the law and transposed the lines

Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.

I think I'm gonna go lay down for a little while.

On the Roman rams we can read traces of officialdom: ‘Lucius Quinctius the son of Gaius, the quaestor, approved this ram.’ On the one surviving inscribed Carthaginian ram, we read: ‘We pray to Baal that this ram will go into this enemy ship and make a big hole.’

must admit I am with the Carthaginians on this one

phenomenon we have talked to death on here is when people who have direct experience with an issue will get dismissed in discourse for being Hysterical or whatever. i haven't seen any talks abt the converse where if you have like a modicum of emotional control or are uninterested in/unable to perform sadness or anger over text to an audience everyone just assumes you have 0 personal stake in the issue at hand

thinking about when my brother got chatbanned from overwatch and the email they sent him after he tried to appeal it said “we dont normally bring up the incriminating messages, but in this case we feel its necessary to show you what got you banned” and it was all shit like “ i will kidnap you in the desert and make you forget how to eat”

It's become a personal weakness, but the type of personality that has come to annoy me the most is

a) acts incredibly rude because they think the only thing that matters is being correct,

b) is incapable of tolerating an argument to figure out what is actually correct, and gets offended if you question them or their assumptions.

"Well, you shouldn't have any friends or stand up for your principles, because you believe bad things."

"That thing you said before was factually incorrect."

"Oh, here come the 'um actually nerds' shoot me if I ever care more about defending racists than being on the right side of history."

physics phd is rough though, i was making more money per class as an undergrad TA then most of them did as lecturers...

[aorish]

like personally i think if i got a doctorate and did two postdocs and could only get non-tenured positions teaching intro classes, and then i found out on top of that the 19 year old alcoholic twink who runs my labs and does grading was making more money per hour than I was, i might kill them and then myself.

but also you gotta consider the people who *were* in my position as the undergrad who cant legally drink getting more per hour than the professor, but who still went and got the phd anyway though.
