the two types of transfem callouts:

no just trust me bro this time it's not transmisogynist he i mean they are an actual sexual predator just trust me bro what do you mean who's the victim who needs a victim

this trans woman fucking kidnapped a child and/or raped someone! *one year later* sooo it turns out that she actually didn't and those claims and "evidence" were fabricated by ppl who later admitted to it but we will continue to pretend that she did bc to do otherwise would be to admit that online mob justice without due process is laughably falsifiable by bad faith actors and the entire framework is bunk and that is just too inconvenient

I am so sick and tired of seeing the trans women around me being slowly hot coaled into the closet and into essentially being forced back into "Men who would really love being women but Can't because they Aren't". It is so painful stop fucking doing this to our trans women. Stop forcing them to be "Fine" with being called dude bro man he and biologically male stop it stop it stop it you are killing her. You are killing her.

was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.

no offense to those that it actually helps but the advice of "just dress differently" that everyone gives for gender dysphoria is useless to me. I want to be able to feel beautiful even when I'm naked, otherwise it just feels like I'm putting on a costume!

if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. i've posted about it before; it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thank you!!!

Oh wonder! Only after 12 days of war between Israel and Iran, Trump intervened and stopped it. Wow, this is it! Israel was subjected to severe and harsh blows from Iran to the point that Israeli soldiers said on social media that they woke up and thought they were living in Gaza after the destruction that occurred in Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, Trump and the United States cannot stop a war that has lasted 628 days of genocide in Gaza.

very stupid idea i'm sort of thinking about... which is; even if ai models store exact copies (they don't but let's play along) of training data in their weights, i think from a legal point of view penalizing the idea of "it can store and reproduce an entire object perfectly" as the distinguishing factor sort of… hmm like, it implies people with eiditic/photographic memory are not allowed to read things, because they might copy them if they make artwork legally speaking (again, taking on faith that true photographic memory exists - just assume it does as part of the thought experiment) this is a very tired thought but i hope you sort of get what i'm gesturing at it's also not a very serious thought it's more of just a philosophical thought experiment. is it fair to penalize something for "having a better memory"? not with anthropomorphization but just the quality of being able to copy perfectly. i guess... are photocopiers infringing by nature because they can create photocopies that are 1:1?

I love being friends with prostitutes and transsexuals and artists and drug dealers and perverts and queers

night in the woods is a game that feels cozier to me than basically any game that has been described as a “cozy game” and i think a key part of that for me is the bittersweetness. possum springs is cute and autumnal but it’s also a dying rust belt town. mae spends her days exploring and hanging out with her friends but it’s in the shadow of her being a college dropout who will be expected to find a job. every feeling of warmth and nostalgia exists in spite of looming existential dread and decay. the main cast is deeply lonely, but they’re alone together. that juxtaposition is what’s crucial to the feeling of “coziness” to me. the world will never be entirely pleasant and wholesome, but so often we struggle to carve out these pockets where we can feel some sense of peace, even if it’s something as simple as goofing off with your friend in a dying mall, or messing around in the woods, or practicing bass for a band that will likely never release any music. warmth seems to feel most comforting when it’s providing shelter from the cold. that’s what makes night in the woods feel so special to me, and why i’ve kept coming back to it. it’s in the tagline of the game: “at the end of everything, hold on to anything.”
