If you're trans and don't know what Hot Allostatic Loading a trans woman is, you should cuz it could happen to you. Read Hot Allostatic Load by Porpentine and understand that the seemingly ritual cancellation of trans women is by design and a sociological phenomenon. "Problematic trans woman" is a baton passed from one transfemme to the next as the witch eating the sins of the community that week/month/year.
please also read black hot allostatic load by anonsee (storyweavingspider on tumblr)
Wanna say something rq - Black hot allostatic load is a theory piece, and I stand by what I said at the time because I lacked further info at the time (because I couldn’t have defended or saved myself if I didn’t know who or what was happening) but there’s a second piece with MUCH more current info on how things evolved - Revenge Is Something You Do With Your Teeth
You see, after publishing B-HAL I had a few months of finally feeling free again, as literally dozens of other transfemmes, Black and non-Black, told me both publicly and privately that they had been through something similar, that until they read MY story, they thought they were some unique monster, rather than it just being one of the default tools of white supremacy.
And then the same people who did this to me, began to cause issues for my roommates, disabled trans folks who I was housing and taking care of for free, for the crime of living with me instead of being homeless. So I decided it was time to say more, since there was not only no remorse but more willing harm.
Since I wrote B-HAL, one of my “victims”, a white trans woman who falsely accused me of “strangling her outside of a queer bar for no reason” then changed her story several times, came out as a literal nazi, sharing national socialist memes and racist bullshit on Twitter and even getting banned from one of the whitest queer orgs in DC for it. Her “detrans” boyfriend who’s still taking estrogen publicly identifies as a “libertarian fascist” because his views are “just too niche”. But there’s no way whites could be lying about a Black trans woman, she’s just “an imperfect victim” and I’m “the dc strangler” who can’t stop lying and raping people.
Another “victim” of mine accused me of sexually assaulting her by giving her an orgasm during what she described as “otherwise consensual sex” to which there was an auditory witness willing to publicly testify on her own that she could hear every time I asked for consent and her enthusiastically giving it, because the walls were thin and she couldn’t NOT hear everything.
Why would that one lie? You see I denied her access to my body after that night because I wasn’t interested in more, whereas she had immediately started to talk about long-term relationship dynamics, and Black people aren’t allowed to tell whites we don’t want to be a glorified sex toy if they want us to be, without being punished and making sure we know our place.
Or more recently, being sexually assaulted but being told it couldn’t have possibly happened and I was lying because I’m a Dommetop and there’s no way she could’ve done that to someone like me, as a pretty little bottom. That I had to be lying, because I have a “pattern of behavior” (of people lying about me with the same one trick because it’s shown over and over it’ll work no matter how badly done)
I still believe in restorative justice. I still believe that if they’re willing to disavow what they’ve done and take that first right step, then keep taking those steps, that they deserve the chance to change and grow.
But Black transfemmes, Brown transfemmes, when they do this to you, and if they double down instead?
Rip their fucking throats out before they get the chance to do it to you or your sisters again, because they WILL try to make you pay for not simply dying like you were supposed to.

Every day I mourn the irrepairable damage that cringe compilationers have done to the art community as a whole. Fly high possessive undertale selfshippers and amateur flipaclip furry animators. Your legacy will not be in vain and I wish people weren't so cruel to you
These are all genuinely so beautiful to me. If you don't think this is love and sincerity in its purest form I don't know what to tell you
If you even fucking care.
The Maplewood Depot in Bethlehem, New Hampshire,
A thriving train station built in the 1880s as tourists flocked to the White Mountains for fresh air and pristine vistas, closed down in 1924.
The long-abandoned structure was taken down last year, but plans are underway to recreate the depot in a spot closer to the center of town.

too cool to jerk off to pictures of women with impossible hip to waist ratios yet not cool enough to jerk off to the concept of being killed, the rōnin pervert wanders this land in search of a slightly-higher-concept yet not totally abstract form of fetish posting
community-sourced suggestions for the rōnin pervert (and, by extension, me) can broadly be sorted into three categories: 1: fetish that's mundane enough that it makes me realize just how far out of my circle this post has traveled 2: thing I'm already into 3: so esoteric that I feel blessed to have had your attention on my post for even a moment category 1:
category 2:
category 3:

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
Last year I finally had an excuse to illustrate this simple little Tumblr story I've had bookmarked forever for class.
I hope you like it :]
‘While bats can only sense the outer shapes and textures of their targets, dolphins can peer inside theirs. If a dolphin echolocates on you, it will perceive your lungs and your skeleton. It can likely sense shrapnel in war veterans and fetuses in pregnant women. It can pick out the air-filled swim bladders that allow fish, their main prey, to control their buoyancy.
It can almost certainly tell different species apart based on the shape of those air bladders. And it can tell if a fish has something weird inside it, like a metal hook. In Hawaii, false killer whales often pluck tuna off fishing lines, and “they’ll know where the hook is inside that fish,” Aude Pacini, who studies these animals, tells me. “They can ‘see’ things that you and I would never consider unless we had an X-ray machine or an MRI scanner.”
This penetrating perception is so unusual that scientists have barely begun to consider its implications. The beaked whales, for example, are odontocetes that look dolphin-esque on the outside—but on the inside, their skulls bear a strange assortment of crests, ridges, and bumps, many of which are only found in males.
Pavel Gol’din has suggested that these structures might be the equivalent of deer antlers—showy ornaments that are used to attract mates. Such ornaments would normally protrude from the body in a visible and conspicuous way, but that’s unnecessary for animals that are living medical scanners.’

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16uhmMb8kE4P_vOSycr6XSa9zpmDijZSd?usp=sharing
Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!
