i think ive said this in some fashion before but i think the cure to being nervous about starting testosterone hrt is to know and love trans women with all your heart

terfs have a lot to answer for but 1 very small facet of that im personally annoyed with right now is that they made it so pussy imagery is often sort of suspect. what the hell. the honorable pussy... he is not responsible for this madness

its always so funny to see a tweet or textpost that is very obviously a #deep quote the poster made up themselves but they write the tweet like "somebody said [thing i made up] and i think thats so beautiful"

i really like bagel job the 1 problem is that my new mixer who is polite and functional and big and high tech and new is just not as sexy as my beloved old ass 1976 hobart i had at the pastry place. she didnt have a safety cage at all. she was a beautiful and simple shape. she wanted to kill you so bad.

i honestly think the solution to academic research materials being inaccessible to read/understand is not to make every weird scientist need to prove they can communicate their complex ideas to laymen but instead to like. make science communication an essential part of more research institutions. it's really underrated as a skill set on its own and i think having a dedicated Scribe Position with associated infrastructure for training would vastly improve average understanding of scientific topics as well as improving inter-disciplinary communication

do u have a set of little brain tools u like to use to think about things? here are some of mine

grass sheep: based on the story of an ai who identified photos of sheep correctly, but then it turned out it was recognizing photos with grass in the background. i try to find the grass of a sheep when i'm thinking about the "proof" of something to identify possible other things that could produce that result other than the thing that is assumed to be being proven

hot swap: when thinking about something's place in the world, i like to try to imagine what would need to be different about the larger context for something else to take its place. what would need to be different? what would follow as a change? i often do this to two things that are presented as opposites.

sterility vs bioactivity: there's two solutions to reptile husbandry, one of having sterile and frequently cleaned items to manually remove waste and kill disease, and the other of creating a small ecosystem to reduce and process waste and prevent disease by having other things living there. i use this to think about what alternate routes of solutions could be other than manual control/reduction/elimination of problems

third axis: if i get stuck on a problem that seems to have only two answers, i try to move "vertically" away from it. if something must be either true or false, what would it mean for it to not matter either way? if something must be either supported or fought against, what would it mean to make it irrelevant entirely?
