my fellow trans people: all of the answers are in the river. you just need to go to the river and everything will make sense. a lake or ocean are fine substitutions. find the water and go to it. bring your friends. go alone. have a beer.

this really spoke to me, as a trans hippie shut-in.

find the water and go to it. 👍

I grew up next to a river.

I never really understood what it meant to be young and not be able to walk to the water. To not witness dragonfly feeding frenzies in the summer. To not have herons nest in your yard. To not see blocks of ice grind against the shoreline in February.

When I moved out of my parents' house, I was no longer next to a river. I wasn't next to any water.

But after that, I lived three blocks from the bay. I'd walk down to the pier for lunch, weather permitting, and get a sandwich, glass-bottled cane-sugar Orange Crush, and just sit and eat with the cormorants.

I'd sit on my balcony and watch thunderheads crawl up the coastline, a solid line of slate gray that devoured more space than I could contain in my field of vision. They'd shower the sky with lightning, brilliant against the unobstructed dark.

No matter what else happened, the wind and the waves were there, constant, uninterested in the machinations of the city. They stood separate, part of something too old to care about my one little life.

I don't live near water anymore, and my soul is all the lonelier for it.

saw an Online Man (tm) whining that he went into Barnes and Noble for the first time in years and it was all romantasy catering to stupid icky women and it’s like, dude. Do you need me to take your large, soft hands in mine and explain in itty-bitty, dulcet words HOW THE FUCK CAPITALISM WORKS???

And like, not to argue with a dude who isn't here, but does he understand how SHELVES work?! Because I also went into a Barnes and Noble recently, and while yes, there were romantasy shelves and displays, John Grishom alone took up almost a section. Manly man books about manly men doing man things in a manly way with their manly manness are still available. They still get PRINTED. Romantasy is an "also" not an "instead of."

my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.

This is it! This is what social media/smart tech have done! They’ve rotted away any distinction between private and public.

Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.

I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?

Old woman yells at cloud and all that, but I can’t believe someone is not only admitting this behavior, but saying it’s a good thing! No one likes you! You’re a menace!
