im just so happy i live in a time period where actual meaningful biological transition is possible. even if we lose rights or the ability to exist in public, nothing can turn back the clock on that, and just by having any sort of access to that our lives are made immensely better. millions of our sisters throughout history would never have dreamed of a day where they could have what HRT does for us.

please don't lose the plot of this. if you're a trans person on HRT you're a living miracle, the dream of hundreds of millions of your ancestors. your lives are all deeply meaningful no matter what anyone says.

Cursed be the one who announced to my father: “It’s a boy!"... ...How could he twist the course of the stars so much? How could he have erred so in his astrology? A lying tongue, a fool’s mouth it had given him For he foolishly transformed justice to poison He altered the law and transposed the lines

Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.

I think I'm gonna go lay down for a little while.

#the terror #signal boost #this is so fun very excited about this!!!

tagged by @chesthighwater—thank you so much!! i always love chatting about books 🥰

the last book I read: okay it's actually really cruel of you to have tagged me in this game RIGHT NOW because the last book i read was outlander 😔 book that could've been so good if it was good... i did enjoy the ride but i also don't want to know what faces i was making throughout that journey

a book I'd recommend: bit of an assortment here but let's go with gathering moss by robin wall kimmerer, madonna in a fur coat by sabahattin ali, the marriage portrait by maggie o'farrell, the girl with all the gifts by mike carey

a book I couldn't put down: burial rites by hannah kent—started listening to this one on a long drive and it made the time fly. i also got super swept up in gideon the ninth by tamsyn muir (especially the audiobook version!! the narrator is phenomenal) and picked up the spirit bares its teeth by andrew joseph white one afternoon and didn't put it down until i'd finished

a book I've read twice or more: there are so many but i do do a yearly reread of in the dream house by carmen maria machado—my go-to when i need to feel something!!! i also whip out rebecca by daphne du maurier frequently during spooky season. and the cruel prince by holly black when i need some delicious brain junk food

a book on my tbr: picking randomly from the approximately 2k books on my goodreads want-to-read shelf... in praise of the whip: a cultural history of arousal by niklaus largier, you weren't meant to be human by andrew joseph white, maurice by e m forster

a book I've put down: for whatever reason i do EVERYTHING i can to not dnf a book but i will admit that i picked up the neuromancer by william gibson about a decade ago, cracked it open at a laundromat, and made it a couple pages before my brain gave up. it's sitting on my shelf somewhere and i might give it another try, but...

a book on my wishlist: arctic: the north pole and the northwest passage edited by fergus fleming, the invisible harvest: a microhistory of heretical herbs by bethany van rijswijk, any and all editions of cake zine

a favourite book from childhood: i was a MASSIVE chronicles of narnia fan. coraline was a longtime favorite, and i also really loved heir apparent by vivian vande velde and avalon high by meg cabot, both of which i also reread pretty much yearly through high school for nostalgia purposes

a book I'd give to a friend: just based on vibes and what i think my friends would probably like, i'm gonna say the old ways by robert macfarlane, whale fall by elizabeth o'connor, and all the living and the dead by hayley campbell

a book of poetry or lyrics that I own: oh gosh i have so many! bury it by sam sax, winter recipes from the collective by louise glück, crush and war of the foxes by richard siken, great tales and poems of edgar allan poe... emily wilson's translation of the odyssey, caroline alexander's translation of the iliad

a non-fiction book that I own: again too many to list so let's go with this body i wore by diana goetsch, nose dive: a field guide to the world's smells by harold mcgee (a Commitment but SO worth it), speak, okinawa by elizabeth miki brina, and constructing medieval sexuality volume 11

what I'm currently reading: currently listening to dragonfly in amber (the second outlander book lol) and reading stag dance by torrey peters and a history of my brief body by billy-ray belcourt

what I'm planning on reading next: i won't really know until i finish one and see what i'm in the mood for but audiobook-wise, i'll either continue my outlander journey to voyager (i REALLY need to meet john grey before i decide to just skim lol) or pause to listen to notes on an execution by danya kukafka, the light eaters by zoë schlanger, or maybe project hail mary by andy weir. physical book-wise, i'll be pulling something off my shelving unit of books i have yet to read (lol). right now i'm thinking this thing between us by gus moreno, the great shadow: a history of how sickness shapes what we do, think, believe, and buy by susan wise bauer, or the white darkness by david grann

andddd i'm gonna tag @onthearrow @acephalouscreature @malicious-compliance-esq @valentinsylve and anyone else interested in doing this! no pressure though 🥰

#dash games #went a little overboard on some of these #but what can you do

The Terror Intro Theme

I totally forgot I transcribed some of the music from The Terror a few months ago. Here's a little piano sheet music for The Terror's intro theme, specifically the one from episode 1. If you watch the intro of every episode, you will notice the music actually changes slightly with each episode, becoming more discordant. It's a super cool detail that I always loved!

Visit Original Link

Feel free to use this sheet music however you like, though tag me if you do! I would love to see what you do with it!

I've been using this tool called tumblr-utils to back up my tumblr blogs. it creates a locally navigatable archive of a given tumblr url's posts, which is more convenient than the post soup you get from tumblr's native blog export feature.

what that means is that I have a folder on my computer with the name of my url with an index.html file in it, and when i click on that file to open it in a browser I get a simple page with a list of years and months. selecting a specific month will send me to a list of the posts i made or reblogged in that month, similar to tumblr's own archive page. the contents of the post including images are stored locally on your machine.

It can also make a separate index file that organises posts by tag, which is great if you're a consistent tagger, but it will list every single tag you've ever used so it can take a while to find the tag you're looking for in the list if you're a habitual tag commentator. generating the tag archive also takes a while depending on how many posts have to be processed.

you can make it back up any blog as long as it's not set to private. I have backups of both my main and sideblogs and it keeps them in separate folders.

it's had some trouble going all the way back to the start of my main blog in 2012 just by sheer volume of posts, but by making it fetch posts from one month at a time I've been able to go back to 2015 (that's tens of thousands of posts), which was good enough for my purposes.

it might be a little scary to use if you've never touched the command line before, but there's both text and video instructions to set it up and using it is just a matter of typing the command and letting it do its thing in the background.
