capitalism makes me want to throw myself at a velcro wall and just stay there until I rot
if youāre gonna be miserable and sad at least do it while youāre looking at some beautiful trees and the sun is warming your back etc etc #enjoyyoursummer

Some trans guy tips from your dad
Donāt try that mascara/arm hair shit. Iāve been passing for more than a year with short, blond arm hair. Itās not an important secondary sex characteristic.
Board shorts (without pockets in the front) do wonders to minimize the width of your hips. Always choose board shorts over swim trunks. Choose them over cargo shorts if itās appropriate.
Speak from your chest, never from your head.
The goal of binding should not be an entirely flat chest; you should bind for your body type.
GC2b makes the best binders out there, and their products are designed specifically for trans men/transmasculine people.
It might seem useless if youāre pre-T, but working out can be a big help for dysphoria.
Eyebrows are really important to passing pre-testosterone. Muss that shit up. Make them look unkempt.
When you ask for a haircut, make sure the edges in the back are squared, not rounded.
If you have peach fuzz, I would advise shaving it. Cis guys shed theirs when they go through puberty. Shaving can also help with facial hair dysphoria.
Donāt ever buy a binder from Amazon. They run in strange sizes (I was an XXL even though Iām a M in GC2b) and take weeks/months to come. Itās also difficult to breathe in them after a few hours.
@shyguyshiloh @kuchenkat
Spread the word, especially for the board shorts thing!!!!!! They do WONDERS for making hips appear slimmer!!!!!
@cloudstreamer
for my masculine children :-*
also also also!! if you canāt afford a Whole New Wardrobe, goodwill and other thrift stores are a gold mine. half my clothes are thrifted and thereās TONS of plus-size stuff.
Tip for transmasc people with voice dysphoria: find a male singer with a high range (Patrick Stump, Freddie Mercury, Bruno Mars) and sing along. See how you both hit the same notes? Keep on rocking that wonderful voice.
Trans Masc Tip To Lower Your Voice!
1. Hum at a normal level for your voice.
2. Keep humming and tip your head back to look up.
3. Now bring your head down and lower your hum.
4. When your chin touches your chest you should be at your lowest hum.
5. Repeat until your normal level hum is as low as you like it.
6. Now talk and be happy.

welcome back Shaolin Soccer(2001) we missed you
At 1 PM on a Friday I get an email from my boss. I'm busy as hell so I don't check it immediately. Then I get a phone call from my boss, which has almost never happened before. I'm a white collar worker, a historian. There's never a 'historical emergency' requiring a phone call to kick me in the ass and get to work.
The request is so urgent my boss needs it by the end of the work week. Which, y'know, is 5 PM on a Friday. So I have four hours to do it.
It's a forwarded request. Somebody contacted a member of the donation team asking for help, "I need a map from the Vietnam War to use for a presentation." It's somebody she's trying to coax into giving a five figure donation to the museum.
The request was asked to the donation team member, who then emailed my boss, who then emailed and called me urgently.
This map required:
North and South Vietnam in it
All four areas that South Vietnam was divided into for military purposes ('Corps') clearly delineated
Four cities, all of them horrifically misspelled, and only identifiable because I know what battle the requester is asking about (itās in III Corps on the border with Cambodia) (the requester danced around the battle but Iām knowledgeable enough to identify it)
Has Laos and Cambodia in it
Has the Ho Chi Minh Trail in it
So. I was mad about the 'you have literally four hours to find a map with a lot of requirements.'
I was then mad at myself about finding a copyright free map from Texas Tech University within half an hour, proving her right for asking me to do it.
Then, after I found a map that perfectly met the requirements, I was equally amazed, baffled, and horrified when I read further into the forwarded email chain.
The donation team team member they were speaking to used AI to generate a map.
The above put half of North Vietnam in South Vietnam, made the Ho Chi Minh Trail a country, made 60% of Cambodia part of South Vietnam, put the DMZ extremely high up in North Vietnam, completely disconnected the southern tip of Vietnam, misplaced all of the Corps zones, etc etc
At the very last second the donation team member had a moment of divine clarity, remembering there's three historians on payroll to ask for this kind of thing from. So she contacted my boss while saying, "I had fun with this, but I decided I should check for accuracy before I send it to the donor! I need a fact check by the end of the day, then I send it"
My boss, while not the most knowledgeable on the Vietnam War, does know her geography. She took one look, and knew it was so off she called me to tell me how urgent it is that I look at the email and respond
good fucking god, jesus tap dancing goddamn christ, I'm glad I was asked to look at it and then find a real map
My fear has never been that AI would replace human intelligence. My fear has been that the people who Know Things and the people who Make The Decisions are almost never the same people.
Weāre throwing real intelligence out on the street to starve while worshipping the shambling Frankenstein-ed corpse of knowledge puppeteered by those who see us as disposable assets.

āyouāre such a ray of sunshine!ā thanks! one day i chose to act happy and then i kept choosing it over and over and over and over until the neurological pathways formed like desire paths in the thicket. i dug and clawed my nails into the grooves of my brain and carved out joy. i retouch it every day.

Saw this news and I had to make a rough sketch about it. š„¹ We humans always underestimate the empathy and care of other animals..
if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, itās important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, itās important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal
couldnāt stop thinking about this post
gotta lie down every time I remember this recording and the post about it
babe are you okay i saw you were reblogging āNo Children (live at the bottom of the hill)ā again?
