This was genuinely what it was like growing up in New Agey circles btw, my mum's friends would come round like "So I went out to the woods this weekend and fasted and meditated and I had a vision of the Sacred Stag and all my guardian angels and I asked them how to find love and they said that I need to focus on my own healing first and stop repeating cycles of the past" and then the very next week it'd be like "So I'm back with James again" girl..... the Sacred Stag could not have been more clear....

things in fic I'm used to people kind of faking their way through writing about:

the city of los angeles

the city of new york

sex

how drinking alcohol works

how getting high works

how a child of any age speaks

how nuclear physics work

how [my job] works

how debilitating being shot in the shoulder is

how hypothermia works

things I have never before seen someone fake their way through writing about, until today:

what french toast is

[fenmere]

Ooh! Writing assignment! Faking our way through faking our way through writing about what French toast is!

Can we convince you that we've never eaten it?

I once read a scene in a fic that made me have doubts whether or not has the author ever been in a bus/any public transport.

[earhartsease]

we've literally just read a line in a book that said "string lights hung in festive sine waves" and it jumped us straight out of the story because lights don't hang that way? you'd have to rigidly arrange them into a sine wave, no?

[an-ruraiocht]

also i was trying to work out if my wet beast was a cormorant or a shag so i tried googling "shag uk" and. well. that didn't go well

so then i tried "shag birds uk"

this was not an improvement

My first job after graduation was in land management, and part of it was to monitor the nest boxes for occupancy. During breeding season, I'd go and check them every two weeks ish, take photos, and record species and numbers of chicks. Mostly, this meant blue tits.

Anyway, early on, I do my rounds one day and get back to my office to record the findings. As I'm looking at one of the photos, I think to myself "Hang on. These look different from the others. They have black heads, not blue, and I think maybe they are bigger. Perhaps these are great tits?"

But of course! As they were still moulting, I wasn't sure; and so, with the wisdom of the terminally stupid, I confidently opened up Google, went to an image search, and there on my work computer in my office in my brand new job, I typed in "great tit chicks."

The results I got were not what I expected. But. Should have been.

I had to IMMEDIATELY go and fess up to my new boss and be like HEY I don't know if you monitor our internet use at all but uuuhhhhhh I can explain. Fortunately she just about pissed a kidney laughing, so it was okay.

(They were indeed great tits)

the mormon church funds trandwife influencers and is beefing up its social media outreach capabilities by bringing in a lot of heavy hitter youtubers fyi. so when you start seeing more 'wholesome family content' over the next 18 months just know its part of a directed and organised campaign by reactionaries to culturally entrench large families and housewives who baby their husbands

[anti-parent]

Does the LDS Church pay influencers? Well, actually, yes.

How the LDS Church works with — and pays — online content creators.

All of this discourse is so deeply chronically online and unreflective of the vast majority of trans people in real life and I feel so assured in that belief because last night I was at the gay bar on Tranny Thursday talking with a group of slightly-older-than-me trans women that I'm acquaintances with about surgeries and that led into a whole conversation how bottom surgery for trans men being under researched and under innovated (compared to other trans surgeries, especially bottom surgery for trans women) is the result of structural misogyny and the sociopolitical control of bodies seen as "naturally female" AND that conversation was initiated by them.

The gay bar on Tranny Thursday truly is my grounding rod and I love being reassured that most people are actually normal about trans politics.
