I‘ve seen people on here talk about the discourse around the question: “Do you want to be a man, or do you just not want to be a woman?”, usually framed as “Are you really trans, or are you just reacting to internalized misogyny?”

And like, sure, that can be a valid question for some people exploring their identity. But I think it misses something important: some people’s gender is literally that.

Some people’s gender is grounded in not being a woman. It’s not always about moving toward some idealized version of masculinity, it can also be about moving away from womanhood because it’s not you. And that’s still entirely valid.

For example, I identify as a demiboy. I don’t often tell people that. I usually just say I’m a trans guy because it’s easier, and honestly I don’t think about the label all the time. But at the core of my gender is the fact that I’m not a woman. I feel about 80% male and 20% nothing, and that “nothing” isn’t confusion, it’s part of who I am. The exact mix of feeling male and feeling like “nothing” changes from time to time, but what’s always consistent is that I don’t identify as a woman. (Of course this doesn’t apply to everyone who uses that label but it‘s my personal experience)

So when people frame that question like it invalidates someone’s gender, they forget that for some of us, “not being a woman” is the gender (or part of it). And that doesn’t make it less real.

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

In a weird twist of fate yesterday when I reblogged this I was interviewing for a job that would pay me $10k more. I just got the confirmation that I got the job.

I'm a fake commie because I see silly little things and decide yeah I want that and waste my money on it

Like I didn't need a piano key necklace or a Beanie baby ostrich or a portable cd player or a penguin broach or howl's Moving Castle jewelry or a striped poet shirt or 2 Bruce Springsteen CDs or...

i think it would be much more of a 'fake commie' thing to do if you were constantly trying to accumulate money at the expense of getting things you enjoy actually

"The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being."

Marx literally supports getting little treats

I'm sorry, the charlie kirk situation just keeps getting funnier.

- gun nut was an open racist, who constantly tried to incite race wars *got shot by a white guy in the whitest state in america

- gun nut insists empathy is fake *no empathy for him online, except from the same people who gleefully mock the deaths of trans people and Democrat politicians and anyone they don't like on a daily basis

Moonbows

A moonbow, also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow, is a rainbow created by moonlight rather than sunlight. It's formed when light from the moon refracts and reflects off water droplets, like those in rain or mist, creating a visible arc of light in the sky. Moonbows are generally fainter and less colorful than regular rainbows, and they are much rarer due to the need for specific conditions like a full or near-full moon, clear skies, and dark skies.
