My coworker: Hello how are you

Me recognizing that this is a scripted social interaction that has a simple and polite response but am unfortunately unable to complete the transaction because ive been POSSESSED by the AUTISM BEAST: I'm just tired recently haha. You know how it is

Me: I miss that old avatar of mine My brain: they're literally a folder, just right click it and wear them Me: oh yeah

May I present:

Real talk on being real: nonbinary edition I noticed something a while back: a lot of people got real fucken weird when I came out as nonbinary. I mean yeah, there was a lot of the shit that you would expect from this sort of thing: the casual transphobia started real quick, both from people that I don’t know in person and from people who I would have thought would do better about this kind of…

Today is Give a Mouse a Sword Day. So you should get on that pronto

bailey is currently contained in my basement. every day i milk his cock directly into my pussy. he's tied down, i ride him. i bounce on his dick for at least an hour every morning. i get off to him insulting me and telling me his lawyers will have a field day with this case. what a silly man; his lawyers are all on my side, thanks to the money. i'm not letting him leave until he gets me pregnant, i say. he had a vasectomy nineteen years ago, he says. oh well, i tell him, that's too fucking bad, i guess you're never leaving. keep pumping those stupid blank loads into my cunt you decrepit old fuck. maybe you'll get lucky and i'll get pregnant one of these days and you can go home to shitfuck britain and get back to torturing orphans. probably not, though, that's like a one in a million chance. i laugh and he doesn't. he glares at me. i smile. he'll love me eventually, i think. he plans to kill me the first chance he gets.

what? too niche?

um. it could be like sexy final fantasy 6 for people who caught gender from the left hand of darkness.

huh? that's worse...?

I’ve been trying to articulate what types of romance in media I do or don’t like as an aroace person but it’s hard! every rule I think of seems to have exceptions

I think the closest I have is I prefer romances built on bonds rather than on vague feelings of “attraction” that are intangible to me personally. not necessarily slow-burn but focused on their relations as people rather than romantic intent. idk if that makes sense to allosexual/romantic people but it sits right with me

Happy Bushmedicine Friday fellas!!

i find word-by-word glosses of classical chinese poetry to be incredibly useful sometimes as a learning aid:[1] to indicate a proper noun,[2] an archaic meaning, a literary device, or linguistic feature not immediately obvious in a poetic translation. also in the case of regulated verse, it's a great visual way to appreciate the technical beauties of parallelism.

however i don't usually write & post them, for a few reasons:

it's extremely easy for them to look like "broken" english -- something i'm sensitive to as a second-gen [diaspora/person of hyphenated experience/etc.]. like i grew up in an area that was like 40% asian and still managed to hear "me love you long time", random gibberish syllables, etc.

that aside. there's a tradition of western readers of classical chinese poetry coming away with all sorts of overgeneralizations about how each character is a world unto itself, etc., etc., how the poet is not present in the poem because they never use the word "I",[3] etc.

also, they look like a "bridge" or intermediate step in the translation process when that is not the case for me.[4] creating a word-by-word gloss is kinda an entire translation process of its own, with different objectives & priorities!

so yeah! my (extremely amateur) translations are trying to be poetic more than scholarly translations, but at the same time i yearn for people to engage with them as translations and talk to me about the process (which i am terminally lazy about writing up). word-level glosses would probably help, but those are my reasons for not writing them.

my fav resources for learning classical chinese poetry as a beginner both make extensive use of individual word glosses: the East Asia Student blog and How to Read Chinese Poetry: A Guided Anthology, ed. Zong-qi Cai 

a lot of times, with brevity being prized in classical chinese, names (and thus entire careers, moral lessons, eidolons) get abbreviated to a single character 

obviously there are lots of instances of ancient poets using the word "I" or referring to themselves in general, but also. just in my limited experience. SO many poems are autobiographical or have a specific voice??? 

i do rely heavily on dictionaries and annotations, but also on my accumulated experience with reading and discussing poetry, my knowledge of the language, my personal tastes/interpretations/goals/mood when it comes to composing a specific translation... you know, things that are less tangible & easy to point to. most of the time i don't know exactly why i've made a specific choice until @/garden-ghoul asks me about it. 

red and blu fighting over "intel" cases when its really just an elaborate fetch quest to give red or blu spy the last cigarette from the mutual cigarette vending machine both teams share like a water cooler.... none of the other mercs know that though. but even if they did it wouldn't change literally anything LOL

Wicked withdrawals.

Last week, my new psych took me off the last antipsychotic that I have been on. Her primary concern was something called metabolic syndrome, which is probably the reason that my numbers have been so weird. She thinks that getting me off that stuff will do wonders for my weight, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Well, there was more information that I didn’t have at the time: withdrawal from…

A quick sad thread xposted from twt. (modern au, break up)

After Eddie & Steve break up, Steve gets his Eddie tattoo covered up. Eddie still follows Steve on Instagram so he sees the picture of Steve in a jockstrap showing off his new tattoo.

On the most biteable part of Steve’s ass instead of Eddie’s bite mark and name is now a robin. As a tattoo enthusiast, Eddie appreciates the cover work. But as the person who is being removed from Steve’s life in another way, it hurts. 

Eddie closes the app. He doesn’t read the caption. He turns off his phone entirely. They broke up six months ago. Eddie shouldn’t be this affected by this. Steve can do whatever the fuck he wants to do.

The worst part, the absolute gut wrenching heartbreaking part is that Eddie’s never going to feel comfortable covering up his Steve tattoo. Because even though he’s not the love of Steve Harrington’s life, Steve is his.

me: wow! in the ending, ysme without her glamours sure is drawn differently! and actually, on second glance, she's completely flat-chested without them. and that's true for her ghost mode too. huh. but not her goddess form. and she says she normally applies her glamours as soon as she wakes up. i guess it would make sense for her to be shy about loic seeing her naked, but it's interesting that there's this textual implication that she doesn't even like looking at herself without her artisanry illusions up--

me: ohhh okay
