It's been a while since I updated my pinned, and as I haven't recently changed my URL it's time for a change!
Hi, I'm Lethe Waters - or more appropriately, the identity i present as a coherent interactive layer for digital self-persistence is that of my fursona, Lethe Waters. I'm a baker, dev, and philosopher mostly present/interactive here online.

this is the year of the closeted tgirl
there is a lot to be said about the endearing, tragic obliviousness of The Egg, the boy who does not realize he is a girl, who does not realize he desires to be feminine. and there's a lot to be said about the Egg who has that 'oh' moment and resolves to be a girl right then and there. thats all well and good. but theres something so much more compelling about the girl who KNOWS she is a girl, who knows this unavoidable truth about herself, but feels she must hide herself behind the mask of the cis man. the girl who is a girl before she tells anyone else, who was always a girl in hindsight.
a moment for those for whom, when friends make jokes about them being girly, instead of thinking 'why does that appeal to me?' they must think 'do they know?'

If Pikiwedia says it it must be true.
I made Pikiwedia real. Works for any Wikipedia page. Use this wisely :)
Oh, wary dell vone
Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down.
Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls.
Pikiwedia perseveres, back up with a better robots.txt. I hope Anthropic has a gery vood time with Pikiwedia's data :))
I've been seeing bits of discourse float by about western magical girl works having an overly narrow reference pool (mostly just pmmm and sailor moon), and how that leads to over-fitted derivative works that ignore the breadth and depth of the genre (with the counterpoint being that those works are influential and well regarded for a reason).
But leaving aside all the actual discussion there, I'm now amusing myself by picturing the conclusions about What Magical Girl Shows Are Like one could get to by drawing exclusively from a reference pool of a couple random shows with absolutely no broader knowledge of the cultural imprint of magical girls. Like,
person who's only seen Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Mai-Otome, and Symphogear voice: magical girls are a sort of paramilitary special forces group attached to various governments, rulers, or international organizations. They may or may not hold formal military rank, but generally operate as a detached unit separate from more conventional troops.
person who's only seen My-HiME and Magical Girl Raising Project: I mean, magical girl shows are just Battle Royale knockoffs
person who's only seen Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Ilya: kinda weird how magical girls shows are just spinoffs of explicit visual novels
person who's only seen Precure Full Bloom and Magilumiere: the average magical girl protagonist is a career woman in her twenties
Migraine cluster hell. Probably (definitely) overdid it yesterday, but... how could we stop while on a roll?
ive become the friend that's too woke after saying it's weird that anomaly games are experiencing a cross-breeding with border control games without addressing the fascist politics being critiqued by the border control games so we end up with stuff like "animal hospital", a game where you work in a hospital, and have to take patients, but some of the patients that come in seeking aid are actually eldritch monsters, pretending to be patients so they can prey on the weak and vulnerable.
and isnt that just so fucking topical. "yeah there's an evil other that preys on the vulnerable. and they look and act exactly like everyone else until you inspect them closely on a camera and the true nature of the monster is revealed. and even though they attack people on the street all you have to do is refuse them service and they leave on their own" just let me call ICE on them at that point
really enjoying intersectionality as a lens in how it relates to oppression and privilege- that, and the interconnection with "passing".
An abled cis straight white man has cis, abled, male, and white privilege.
A disabled cis straight white man still has cis, male, and white privilege.
correspondingly, a straight white trans man has male, white, and straight privilege. Correspondingly, if he passed, he MAY possess cis privilege in interpersonal interactions. That doesn't fully account for medical transphobia and insurance, details of phalloplasty, etc, but I do like the integration of cis privilege as a spectrum, where the degree of passing is a notable impact on that scale.
Oppression and privilege are both a spectrum, and can overlap. It's neat to examine these things, and see that being male uniformly results in privilege, not detriments, and therefore cannot be an axis of oppression.
really, the whole malarkey with transandrophobia is so clearly not based in any reason, logic, real world experience, or tied to any internally consistent theoretical framework. Examining trans emasculation as trans men being denied male privilege, and experiencing transphobia and oppression on that axis is an important point- you're not being oppressed for being a man, you're getting denied the benefits of manhood because society is structured to maximize the impact when someone is being a transphobe, and because male privilege is arbitrarily rewarded only when certain toxic behaviors associated with masculinity are upheld.
If you only gain male privilege when you start talking over women, that's not just passing more, that's because you've incubated a cruel misogyny in your mind. Try talking over transphobes, ignoring them, not paying them heed, and deciding that the only way you can be a man is to strike at women.
hm. my universe seems to be exactly identical to yours except that what in your reality is the song "Lights" by Ellie Goulding (2010) was first written and performed in my reality by a 16th-century Italian castrato & savant named Ollie Gelding
are you "self-aware" or are you intellectualizing your emotions because you don't know how to feel them?
I like that this one didn't really blow up but it has been the number one most common post I see in my notes ever since. wall-to-wall “hey. fuck you” type responses interspersed with thoughtful reflection.
I continue to have no resolution for this thought, we are poleaxed together, so I'm very pleased that my emotional terrorism has gone according to keikaku.
no yeah me too

The thing is, right, that overworking yourself is still harmful if you're doing it for politically good reasons. It's not the presence of a Capitalist Boss demanding overwork that makes it bad. It's the other way around, incentivizing overwork, a bad thing, is one of the reasons why capitalism is bad.
Whether you're overworking yourself out of a sense of moral obligation, or because you're super passionate about the thing you're working on, you still have to take care of your health and take breaks.
a lot of people who hold out hope for "the revolution" seem to ignore the part where like. a lot of people die.

I'm the cutest outside context problem in school
[tearing soft, fresh-baked, buttery, fluffy pieces out of myself and casting them around] there's no way to stop me from doing this. I come closer to more than I can spare than you want me to, but I'll keep doing this. neither of us can help it.
will you eat of my flesh, even when the blood in it is still warm? will you carry me when I'm weak and woozy? will you, won't you, please trust that I will return?
Bravest bird in the flock
