(former was causal to the latter)
i donāt use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

drag performances can be appropriative and offensive
personally, drag shows always put me on edge. because cis folks, including queers, do not know the difference. nor are they particularly good at checking in with minorities about what theyāre up to
but beyond that, even shows done with consideration have a negative impact on a marginalized community
of course thatās not fair but my good bitch step into my office and let me explain a little bit about being a trans woman (I charge $200/hour)
someone weird was complaining at me about her friend group chat being too noisy, but she ignored my clarifying question (how much of it's meowing?)
if youāre curious what a movie night is like with me:
we are cuddled up together on my ugly blue couch, under a weighted lap pad and a fuzzy blanket big enough for the both of us
you ask me to pass the candy bowl, but donāt see anything you like so i lovingly hand you the candy cube (wider selection)
i lean over to grab my monster energy paradise punch and realize our faces are so close weāre almost kissing
i slowly move my head to the right and whisper into your ear
āif donnie darko was paying $200 an hour for therapy in 1988, thatās, like, over $500 after inflation. that seems expensiveā
youāre flustered and unsure how to respond, i can tell. I stand up, grab your hand, and i teach you the proper way to make popcorn
gonna make my own damn search engine and if your website plays a fucking video in the lower right corner you canāt be in it
assaulting transphobic parents as a service
testosterone was useful in repressing both my gender identity and my demisexuality
āif youāre mad at everyone, eatā
I DONāT SEE HOW THAT WILL FIX A BROKEN WORLD
but iāll make some fish and maybe eat a potato ig :neko_fish:
protonmail has put an advertisement in their fucking email client
why does everyone need a fierce kick in the dick lately
I talk to like one cis dude and even he wears skirts
gonna insert ads into conversations I have with customer support
then at some point I'll stop talking mid-sentence and request they take a survey rating their experience on a Likert scale
....idk, something about cookie preferences too?
is it irony that my "transgender week of visibility" post gets hidden by big social media sites
angry people hate having their feelings called interesting and never engage with my follow-up questions
whatās up with that?
what some bitches donāt realize is,, telling me my feelings are wrong and donāt matter just gives me wild gender euphoria
i am a real girl!
explaining updog to a kid who's never heard of it before is fucking glorious
I will smite all your territory with frogs
the frogs will be all over you and your servants
:blobfrog: :frog_blush: :frog_cozy: :frog_gay: :frog_love: :frog_think:
the worst - nay, the shittiest - part of enshittification is it doesnāt matter if it works. there is no negative cost to making a product worse in an attempt to make more money, and āopportunity costā to spend time on re-unshittification will keep things shitty even when it doesnāt drive XX% YoY growth
companies also donāt want to let customers āwinā in pushing back against shitification, because that could make us think our opinion matter
pirate everything
become unshittable
youtube video: have you ever wondered what it is ilke to be a chair?
kiddo & me, simultaneously: no
she picks a different video
bwink, or boy twink
made a Karl Marx reference in a group chat with an anarchist and a communist, ama
growing up my dad would occasionally show up for his assigned parenting time. sometimes heād take us fishing
you sit around, nobody expects you to talk and sometimes if you do they tell you to shut up⦠the only bad part about fishing, is the fish
growing up with no parental involvement, I learned how to fix problems by myself. this one was easy. I think I figured it out the second time we went.
just rig the bait up so it falls off instantly, and you will never catch a fish. you can just sit around while the boys do their thing, without a worry in the world
