When you're cursed to be average, an option, a side character, no matter how hard I try or how many times I try, it’s always the same. Being average at whatever I do feels like a curse. I am tired of it—of being average, of always being an option and never the priority, of always being on the sidelines. I’m tired of trying.

The Department of Education worked with the far-right Family Research Council to officially designate March 12th as Detrans Awareness Day last year. But what actually leads people to detransition? It's not regret, but social stigma, incited by the very figures who claim to protect detransitioners. I want to hear their stories describing how the current moral panic influenced their decisions.

My least favorite new politically correct term is "unhoused." Like you can just tell it was created to make liberals feel less icky when talking about homeless people.

I was homeless. I was homeless as a child and as an adult. That shit sucks believe it or not.

The uncertainty. The ever-present grimy feeling from lack of access to running water. Having nothing to your name. The shame you feel is asking your fellow man for the bare minimum. Just so much shame, man.

"Unhoused" is so clinical. A technical term. Sure, its not incorrect, but it doesn't properly convey the emotional and psychological impact homelessness has on you.

You say "house", I think of a structure.

You say "home", I think of stability.

As someone who was also homeless as a child, you put my discomfort with this term into words perfectly. I once had to argue with someone who outright refused to use the term homeless because she worked with homeless people, even when I— an actual homeless person— was telling her that it felt like she was sanitising what I actually went through.

I wasn’t just without a house, I was fundamentally living on the outskirts of society without an ounce of stability, and sometimes not even shelter can relieve that. Sometimes I wasn’t unhoused, but I was still homeless.

"queer-owned business" means nothing anymore. OpenAI and Palantir are both queer-owned businesses.

sorta headcanon for Gorgug is that while he's bi and poly and very open w affection w his friends he has literally never initiated anything ever. he's got the vampire autism. I mean he asked Zelda out but it was to check on her and also the whole party helped. I think he didn't start anything w Squeem and Unit and Mary Ann both made the first move. he's lucky most of his friends are very open w affection as well so he knows what he's allowed to do but he's also stuck in gay limbo hell w Fabian. he's the only one who won't cuddle w him

I always wanted to be the guard that tells only lies

[cryptotheism]

I mean I've actually never wanted to be that.

Stupid stupid stupid. C'mon. At this rate I'll never be a lie guard.
