I’m facing a June 16th rent deadline and a June 21st electric bill while continuing PTSD treatment after losing my job. Every donation and share helps me stay housed and keep the lights on.
So, i understand the frustration with the way transmascs seem to envy transfems' bodies and gender presentation, but tbh as a transmasc, i always assumed transfems had similiar feelings? Do you never look at an outfit on someone who had an estrogenated first puberty and think "i wish this would have the same effect on my gender presentation if i wore it too"?
yeah but I'm not a fucking weirdo to them about it. I have the basic respect for their internality required to understand that what for me is aspirational is not so for them, and may be actively uncomfortable or distressing for them
a lot of trans men seem to have no such consideration at all because there are no consequences for making weird, uncomfortable, or invasive comments about a trans woman's body. people aren't watching your behavior (especially your behavior toward trans women) like a hawk ready to strike. you can get away with objectifying trans women, and objectify you do
two years into hrt, a trans guy told me unprompted he'd love to switch bodies with me. which either means
1) my transition has not been sufficiently feminizing and i still look enough like a man to appeal to him
2) he assumed i had a dick specifically and was referring to that
either way is pretty inappropriate. i did not want to be a man's transition goals.
yeah i have on occasion seen people of a variety of genders and envied the way their body developed and mine didn't. i don't think i've ever mentioned it. and as is above, dramatically more often for people aiming to present feminine as well (usually cis women). also as said above, i have never highlighted someone's gender-nonconforming traits as genderfucky unless they specifically told me to do so.
trans women dont identify with slurs invented for trans men because there arent any and they dont identify with porn terms created to degrade trans men because there arent any and they dont self consciously model their gender presentation off movies meant to demonise trans men as serial killer rapists because there arent any
hi everyone, puppet again! guess we're back to getting banned once a day again. please reblog to keep it alive and connected n stuff?

My instructor back in bookbinding school used to say that the mark of a competent craftsperson isn't that you never make mistakes, it's that you know how to fix them. And I think about that a lot.
1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.
2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.
3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."
4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
need to get more unique than either star x or actual scar for the chest wound. i was considering just straight up an arrow through the chest too but the keyhole (marking. not actual keyhole) idea is funny
ohhhh shit. target is recalling their up & up baby wipes (fragrance free & fresh cucumber scented) because they're contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli, multiple people are reporting discoloration & infections. i just got a call about it cuz i had purchased those but i've already gone through them 😅 so no refund for me. but im fine. if you have these they're saying you need to immediately stop using them and bring them back to target for a full refund. this bacteria can cause life threatening infections in children/infants and people with compromises immune systems (ESPECIALLY cystic fibrosis!!) and i know lots of other chronically ill people follow me!!!!
Yes! This recall is ONLY concerning the fragrance free & the fresh cucumber baby wipes by up&up. It does not seem to have contaminated any of the other wipes.
Also, for clarity: Recall was announced on June 4th, 2026. Target has been calling for the past few days dover then. CHECK THE DATES AND CODES LISTED ON THE FDA PAGE! Those are the specific batches contaminated. Anything else should be safe.
