the thing is I genuinely did love the hen plot and I don't think it's unrealistic at all. I've forgotten the birthdays of people I love, people who I talk to every day. they've forgotten my birthday. we've been close to forgetting it until someone else reminded us. sometimes it's not even that you forget the birthday, you just straight up forget what day it is. it happens. sometimes the people you love accidentally make you feel invisible because they're too caught up in their own thing. it may hurt and that's an incredibly valid hurt but it doesn't mean they don't love you and you don't love them. and at the end of the day, it's about the people who see you feel invisible, who realize their mistake, and do everything in their power to fix it. and they did!!! every single one of them made it up to her and made her feel special in their own way. and that's what matters.

You could make a scene-pack of exclusively Andy staring with big pleading eyes at Miranda and it would unironically be 20 minutes long

We report: welcome to a short moment in time when the clouds are just like this. It took the wind, the amount of humidity in the atmosphere and the pressure of it too, some seawater, and us looking up at the whole picture. The sky has never been and will never be this again.

I don't know about you, but I know I ain't staying when the us fully becomes the fascist country the voters want it to be come 2028

If it comes to that they are going to have to scrape my cremains off the side of a mountain. I was born here, I fully intend to die here, and anyone with a problem with that including but not limited to whoever runs the US government can go fuck themselves.

But look. To be less glib-- I'm gay, but I'm also white and cis, so I'm on the shitlist but not in the top 5. The only thing that happens if I run is someone who is more urgently under threat might lose a spot, since many countries have a limit. (And that's also assuming that there's somewhere to run to. The US doesn't exist in a vacuum.) I also have friends and family who would be at higher risk with a lot more roadblocks should they try to immigrate, and I don't think I could leave while they were still here. But those aren't everyone's circumstances! So like you gotta do you. But unless you're at serious risk of "deportation", I don't think the abandon-ship rhetoric is particularly helpful.

More importantly, I don't know if you've noticed, but Democrats have been wildly over-performing in special elections so far this year. We'll see what's happening come 2028, but Putin Trump is not. Americans do not, as a general rule, like being told what to do. We're great at cutting off our noses to spite our faces, but we're not nearly so good at cutting off our balls.

I don't think 2028 is the election to worry about, I think it's 2032. But we'll find out.

That post about softness is making me think about how much of my problem is being a tremendously soft and gentle spirit within a frame built for hardness. A body which generates aggression by its mere hypothesis. I've been thinking a lot lately about the way people discuss my body as a weapon. Treat me like a bomb. How they always have. Just about every other physically-large, masculinized person I've spoken to has voiced similar experience. External stimulus shapes you. Like a square watermelon. This mold is the role created for you; at least people know what to do with that. There exists a tension when you don't fit into the expectations of others, even when the expectation they have of you is to be a monster. You are more animal than other people. You must become timid to compensate, it's a decision you make yourself. But, in being timid, you are not fulfilling these expectations, so you are not deprived of abuse. This anxiety still surrounds you, so people will put you down, trying to keep you in your place. Treat you like it's a trick. Trying to suppress you while simultaneously being disappointed that you aren't their monstrous fantasy. I think this is a kind of abuse which is widespread in our culture and chiefly experienced by masculinized individuals, and is proportional to perceived masculinity. Underscores the experience of being considered an animal weapon above all else.

I think there's a lot of meaningful discussion to be had about this, but not many people are interested in it. Such is the overall experience.
