Good trans news! There are US states pushing to make legal name and gender marker changes easier. Washington is now expediting gender changes on birth certificates, speeding up the process to just 3 days when it used to take up to 10 months. Illinois no longer requires name changes to be published in a newspaper, either, making the entire process much easier and private.

saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023

the ship tease between innie!Dylan and outie!Dylans wife is crazy. imagine your wife cheats on you with YOU

[elcustodio]

Even if it had been teased through the intro and some of the trailers, I think no one expected this week's episode to end with Mark's reintegration, and that's so brilliant.

In many other shows, Mark's reintegration would have been a big season finale, something that had been building up all season and with a lot of debate from Mark. However, it actually happened in a whim, at the end of the third episode where we are not even halway through the season, when no one was expecting it. And it didn't feel rushed or too sudden, because the show understands its characters.

Of course Mark, once he's sure his wife is still alive and back in the severed floor, decides to reintegrate on a whim. He doesn't doubt, he doesn't take time to think, because he simply needs to see Gemma again, even if that means fucking up his brain as he saw it did to Petey. And that's brilliant! It's desperate, it's rushed, it's So Visceral... But it's also how real people make their decisions! Mark Scout has always felt like a person, and I just can't admire the writing of the show enough.

im gonna be thinking about milchick and natalie and those portraits for DAYS man. just. The Fucking Implications. god. “recanonicalized” paintings to “help him See Himself In Kier”. jesus christ. the complete lack of effort in changing them only recoloring the skin. him barely being able to get the words out when trying to call them meaningful. “i, natalie, revived the same gift”. the way he not only leaves them behind but tucks them away in storage. it’s all just so much
