So my mom has an acquaintance friend who thinks I (as my deadname) died as a baby because she doesn't know I'm trans. This is very funny to me.

My mom didn't like, set out to lie. It's just that the friend was over while my mom was packing to move earlier this year, and spotted something from my childhood with my deadname on it. And this friend already knew that my mom only has one child. The friend went "oh, was this from a baby who passed?" My mom was unprepared and didn't know what else to say on the spot, but didn't want to out me, so she just went "yes." And NOW it's too late to correct this without it being weird for everyone. So uh. Now I am my own sibling, who died.

Putting the dead in deadname.

What is your dying field of expertise? 👀

I don't have one, I'm not an expert in anything. I'm just pretentious. It's a reference to a song by the same name by The Beths that I really like. I also just really like the phrase. It's evocative of a like...sad kinda nostalgia I guess?

I'm probably gonna get a new labret piercing centered like that and I was wondering if you've noticed any issues with your teeth and gums due to the piercing?

I’m British so my teeth and gums were fucked from birth. But nah no problems!

Out of curiosity, what is your /cm/ tag for or what does it mean?

it's just the tag i made for nsfw posts, since my blog is so old I have a lot of old friends who are sex repulsed or aren't particularly interested in nsfw topics or posts and it gives them a tag to block in case they don't want nsfw on their dash

the meaning of it is silly, I just looked up random or weird sex phrases to make an acronym and thought cm (cunt muncher) was too funny not to

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. Outrage about hedonism is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radical rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.

My old person take today is that I feel like people have normalized being on your phone every single moment including when you're spending "quality" time with others so much that they're defensive if someone isn't ok with it. Yes, you have a problematic relationship with your phone and social media if you physically cannot put it down for a couple of hours to like, have dinner with your friends. It's a show of respect for other people's time and energy as well as important to be present and connect with people around you. Your parents who told you no phone at the table were right for that one.

You should be immediately suspicious of anyone who tries to convince you to hate other trans people.
