🌿They/them🌿 🏳️‍⚧️ Nonbinary Transmasc Butch Bear 🐻 Mdni. 18+

[mossbearr]

Sup, I'm Bear. I'm a long time queer, recently coming to terms with being trans in a way often times feel confusing and difficult to express to others if only because my feelings around my gender have always been a knotted mess and I wouldn't be me if I didnt make it as difficult and cryptic for myself as possible.

I used to have a pretty active art blog on here before the great tumblr porn ban and left to look for better options. Unfortunately few have arrisen in the years since, so here I am once again exploring myself in different ways.

Some stuff about me:

I'm a nonbinary transmasc butch.

I'm also queer/bi and polyam.

I'm a soft practicing druid/pagan.

I'm also an artist. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember and also bounce around from various other creative endeavors when the mood strikes.

I'm a monster fucker and decently into various types of transformation stuff.

I post about art, poetry, books, trans and queer experiences, nature, kink, monsters, otherness, neurodiversity, body image, self acceptance, and whatever else strikes my fancy at the time. I'm too tired to run a side blog, so you get the whole smattering of thoughts and interests here.

Maybe someday I'll post my art, I dunno. Willl update as necessary.

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

grabs you by the shoulders listen. listen to my words. i understand the urge to make fanfiction about yourself and to find a reality in which you're super awesome and great and everyone who hates you is wrong and dumb. i get it. you're better than that. you can love yourself without putting other people down, dehumanizing and generalizing, and retaliating against your oppressors.

there's no NPCs. there's no aliens coming to save us. we're not the next step in human evolution. our hyperconnected nervous systems give us terrible sensory overwhelm more often than they make us geniuses. neurotypical people are sentient, conscious, aware people who are capable of understanding you. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different.

Often disabled people wildly overestimate their ability purely via ableist conditioning where they feel pressured to, or mistakenly think they Should be able to do all the same things as their ablebodied peers.

In this case, accurately assessing their comfort levels might feel like underestimating themselves. But it's necessary to not overexert and avoid further burnout.

So remember if you're disabled, underestimate your abilities more often. Either you were mistaken and end up feeling good afterwards despite the activity, or you were correct and spared yourself extra grief by stopping just when you needed to

Voice training is a specialized therapy many transgender individuals undergo as part of gender-affirming care to align their voice with their internal gender. This guide goes over the basics of transmasculine voice training.

you really can reach a point with transgender enlightenment wherein you can attribute any bodily feature silhouette and detail to any gender regardless of typical cisgender aesthetic connotations. anything can be a man's body if the person in it is a man. anything can be a woman's body if the person in it is a woman. anything can be a genderless body if the person in it is genderless. and so on. the only thing that matters is the personhood within and whether you are willing to look and know and see it. open your eyes. keep trying until you no longer flinch or turn away in shame or anger or confusion.

EARNEST POSTING. while everyone is still working on new year’s resolutions i want to make sure everyone knows about the FREE serial reader app.

if you are trying to read more classics/public domain works but for whatever reason struggle with incorporating reading into your daily life, or you’re just intimidated by huge books, serial reader is a great tool to make reading more approachable. it works much like dracula daily in that it sends you one excerpt at a time (usually about 10-15 minutes of estimated reading time). awesome for commutes, lunch breaks, quick bedtime story, etc.

it’s very customizable. you can change fonts, themes, and you can even take notes and highlight. you can also sync with other reading apps like goodreads (no storygraph yet……. we can hope!). the base app is completely free, but there is a one-time optional upgrade fee of $2.99 USD if you want some extra features. this is all developed by one guy, so the money goes to supporting the creator - although i’m sure apple takes their cut 😑.

there are a ton of works to choose from, currently something like 800+.

you can now also add your own .epubs to break up your own books into daily serials! very cool, serial reader!

this was the best app i added last year so i just want to pass it on. happy reading! :)
