hi! i go by artie, art, or articus! my pronouns are it/fae/he/they, and i like it best when people mix them up, rather than sticking with solely he/him or they/them, for example (they/them is my toxic ex i keep getting back together with because i want to be perceived as nonbinary and unfortunately people have a lot of opinions on how nonbinary people need to exist). i am a nonbinary transsexual, White, perisex, and TME. do not think i will tolerate transmisogyny or transmedicalism on this blog.

They move in together full time and Ilya notices that Anya acts differently with Shane than she does with him, more quiet and less playful, and he worries that means she doesn’t like Shane or is jealous, so he hires a dog trainer to come over and see if there’s anything they need to do to help

After a while of talking about how Anya acts the trainer says there’s nothing to worry about, Anya likes Shane just fine, it’s just that she sees him as the boss and is acting accordingly

And Ilya is like. But. I’m the one who adopted her? And raised her before Shane got here?? And the trainer is just like yeah well she sees you more like an equal. And Ilya is like WAIT she thinks Shane is in charge of both of us?? And the trainer is just like well do you interact in a way that would make her think that?

Ilya’s life flashes before his eyes as he thinks of all the times Shane has come over with a snack for Ilya and a treat for Anya, or all the times Shane has announced they’re all going for an after dinner walk, or pets Ilya’s hair and tells him he did a good job at practice, or the fact that he uses the same warning tone with Anya when she misbehaves as he does with Ilya when he’s causing problems on purpose

Shane comes home to Ilya with his face in his hands going oh god I’m not Anya’s dad I’m her brother and she thinks we’re both your pets. And Shane just goes. What.

giving unread book back to the library makes me feel like i should be shot

[unsentimentaltranslator]

The fact that some people say things like this while other people think it’s totally fine to starve children is something that really should be talked about more.

[girlbloke]

period i am against that for sure

cripples seeking love, repeat after me:

my disability does not make me a lesser partner. i am sexy, desirable and important as i am. i do not need to compensate for my physical condition. someone will love and appreciate all of me. and until then, i will be loving and appreciating myself. amen !

[puppetstuffing]

you are the puppygirl in the essay.

LMAO

[puppetstuffing]

if you needed any more proof that literally all that essay was good for was giving the few disgustingly parasocial & ableist tgirls more of a go-ahead to harass disabled girls, here you go

[dark-spirit-tamamoland]

going above and beyond merely "dumping your puppygirl" to hunt disabled transfems down to attempt to murder them, not that that's anything new; they just have a shiny new transfem-backed excuse and acceptable target for the hate and murder they've always carried and wanted

[pansyfemme]

i see a lot of fanart that draws velma as chubby/fat and this is great. but you should make daphne fat too

[transgenders]

managed to catch up on some bills with previous help received (tysm)! so i want to focus on paying this older cshapp borrow off, as it was for rent to the small cult im stuck in. it was $860 originally, $805.48 left to fully pay it off. honestly must pay asap, considering early june im going to have to pay other urgent monthly bills like normal. id rather not be late on that like last time, especially since i still need to get litter liners & food too. anything helps & i appreciate it.

ca vn kofi bmac gfm throne paylinks

june is both pride & my birth month, id rly love to not be as stressed/behind on bills if possible. im continuously trying to get work as well.

[transgenders]

please god help me.

[transgenders]

649.58 still left due & storage unit is also due tomorrow too bc bills r now piling up again. i have no toliet paper & Still need litter liners. i haven't eaten all day. Please help !!!

[darkmoonhyena]

hey, disabled trans girl reading this. I love you. you are deserving of love. there's nothing you need to do to "earn" it.

being human is making things easier for each other, even if we had it harder ourselves.

why wouldn't you do everything you can to make that new trans girls life easier.

why should love ever be conditional if that love would let someone change their life and the lives around them for the better.

[infectiouspiss]

trans people don't need to hear your justifications for still enjoying harry potter in 2026 stop looking for forgiveness where you're not going to get it

[infectiouspiss]

if i walk into your house and see harry potter stuff, i'm just gonna assume you're a transphobe. no amount of "i got it from a charity shop" can save you from the fact that you value those books enough to display them in your home.

you can't just put the work of someone who's currently trying to eradicate trans people on display without being questioned about it, especially if you claim to care about us.

same goes for your social media, if you're willing to keep putting jkr's work on a podium and proudly talking about it, then it's simply logical to believe that you don't care about other people. it's selfish if i'm being honest, to think that your comfort matters more than the lives of millions.

[infectiouspiss]

and to the trans people saying that they're "reclaiming harry potter for the trans community"

no you're not, you can't do that while jkr and her neo nazi friends are currently trying to kill you. you need to let go or else your own community won't be happy to help you when our collective rights are stripped further away.

[infectiouspiss]

trans children in the uk are killing themselves because of the things jkr has done.

children are dead. children who should be happy and free to be themselves are fucking dead because jkr has used her immense wealth and social power to change laws specifically to harm trans people. if you really think that your fucking "comfort characters" are more important than the lives of children then you should say that with your full chest. go on. tell the entire world that you don't give a fuck about dead kids. that you don't have an ounce of empathy in your disgusting shrivelled heart, because you still have your shitty fucking books and your garbage movies. your comfort matters more than anything, doesn't it? maybe jkr will tell you you're one of the good ones, wouldn't that be nice?

[spiteyote-resurrected]

oh yeah reminder not to give the evil fucking scum who run this website a goddamn cent this month when they inevitably roll out whatever theyre selling for it. Find a trans woman to pay instead

Happy USAmerican pride month. For the next 30 days, you will see a lot of posts supporting queer rights, you might see a few brands change their profile picture to include a rainbow flag, though this is less common now than it used to be, you will see community events celebrating queerness, and you will see the odd march or two in the bigger cities.

Then pride month will be over, and you will see things return to business as usual, by which I mean that the ritualistic murder and slowburning genocide against us will continue unhindered, if it ever could be said to have stopped at all.

Queer politics, and especially transfeminist politics, do not need a pride month where we make our existence visible, we need a May day to make our demands heard and our power felt.

The first (not really) pride was a riot against police brutality. Now pride parades are held in coordination with the same local police Sylvia Rivera (maybe? it's unclear) threw a brick at.

Modern pride month is queer politics with the radicalism ripped out. It is the subsumption of the USAmerican queer rights movement into Liberalism. It is a kind of activism which corporate brands feel (or felt at least) comfortable associating themselves with. It is a version of queer politics which consists entirely rainbow flags, state-sanctioned marches, and voting every November.

Pride month is where queer liberation goes to die.
