trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

can't believe people are still out here accusing real ass people of queerbaiting. at this point just admit you like forcing people to come out before they're ready because that's what the result of this continues to be. coming out to anyone isn't an obligation for any queer person and people shouldn't have to alter their behavior or personality or presentation just because you personally think they're cishet. that is literally your own personal problem to work on. keep it to yourself

i don't consider myself a punk but the way so many people who call themselves "punk" seem to have no idea what punk is is so... annoying

Anyway. In a fairly typical schmaltzy way that you read about but never really thought you would experience, this whole scare with my dad seems to be bringing me closer to some family members I either never really knew or don't often see. I'm very lucky that my family is generally quite accepting, and we are all pretty weird so I'm not exactly the black sheep.

My uncle is 83, I think? Still sharp. Has had cancer for years and is somehow still fighting it. His wife is very Greek, with all the wonderful and powerful personality that implies. If my dad goes to visit him again, I'm going to go, too. Miraculously my anxiety is actually well controlled enough and I feel safe enough now that I could do it.

Separately, I'm also learning that I am improved by going to the equality center for the trans support meetings my boyfriend attends, and while I'm still not going to group yet (intimidating, strangers, sensory issues) I do go to the restaurant afterwards and socialize, an easier way to learn who people are.

I used to stay home, but always got depressed for some reason. Tried going and just hanging out in a different room doing my own thing, and it feels good.

And my god, being around NOTHING but other queer people, mostly trans, overwhelmingly neurodivergent, most flamboyantly weird, is very very good.

I need to map out a day or time to see my bestie, even just to run errands.

But like, moving through the world and making social connections is intimidating and so awkward and weird, but...extremely rewarding. And in the case of the massive herd of trans weirdos, it's a lot less difficult than I thought. We are all primed to be empathetic, patient, kind to one another. It's different from anything else I have experienced.

Reddit in DC and Marvel would so fucking wild. Like "Meta/Mutant of Reddit, how does you find out about your power and how is your life is going on now?"

Duke going on ask-Reddit and posting: “what to do if you’re a meta in Gotham?” and all of the replies are just a variation of “run”

Maybe I'm tipsy but *winds up to hit hornets nest* I really don't understand trans guys who are like. I feel excluded from the community cause I'm not fem. Like broski I am fem and guess what. In most queer spaces I feel like I gotta yell that I'm not a gay woman or a trans woman. I've been on hrt for 3 years. Also do you ever go to spaces that aren't distinctly queer....like... y'know.... most spaces.. ever.

oh whoops i actually meant to queue that “i’m taking a break post” for tomorrow bc i was gonna spend some time on here tonight. but i posted it today instead lol. i’m keeping it pinned on my blog so i don’t have to remake the post tomorrow tho. i’m doing a bit of writing tonight and wanted to hang out on here for a bit before i go to sleep 😌

I'll never understand how bpd was like a Trendy thing to have on this website bc actually having it sucks so bad

I should hope that, after this past week, we no longer see people arguing "free Palestine!"

Because if you do argue this, then you're saying that you support the beheading of infants and the rape, mutilation, and beheading of women, and that is not a good look

Update: I'm still terrible at math

there is literally not a worse feeling that exists than the feeling that you just annoy people.

random but even though its not a dni for me personally i really don't think anyone 12 or under should be on the social part of the internet at all especially without supervision it's so unsafe

like i got on the internet at 4 years old and i WISH someone wouldve taken the internet from me

and they'll be all like waaugghg thats too long!! trust me its not. years fly and you will be 13 before you know it and there's a possible chance that one day you'll look back at life and wish you weren't on the internet

(Vague post)

Popular analog horror has gone down the antisemetism rabbit hole so I no longer feel bad about using a vaguely similar idea. I think we need a Jewish analog horror ARG in fact
