I'mma make your secret communist, you pesky profit sharing goof

I don't steal, I covertly reappropriate

I also don't kill, but there are no words made up by gods or men that could accurately describe what I do

[loki-zen]

It's like nearly 10 years now I've been on this website and I still can't get over that "people in the here-and-now deserve to suffer as recompense for the actions of same-nationality elites long before they were born" is a mainstream opinion around here.

I think I can count the number of times I've seen someone other than me push back on this on the fingers of one finger

reminder that butch/femme is a working class exclusive community with communist roots. if i see one more post that's like "i want a rich butch/femme" or "i want to be a rich butch/femme" i'm actually going to lose my fucking mind.

this post is on an nsfw blog and is about t4t lesbians. minors, terfs, and men (including trans men) dni.

ground effect cars ending and i don’t know what a ground effect is still 🫥

the current generation of f1 cars uses specialized underbody designs which take large advantage of the venturi effect, which is when a fluid's pressure drops due to its speed increasing while passing through a constricted channel. this occurs:

as the car moves forward, air is drawn into the underbody, forming a tunnel between the car's floor and the ground.

in the narrower middle section of the tunnel, the air accelerates. (the only way to compensate for the decreased area is to increase the velocity.) this increase in speed results in a decrease in pressure.

the pressure differential between the upper and lower surfaces of of the car generates downforce and increases the load on the suspension, lowering it.

at the rear, the tunnel widens into a diffuser, allowing the air to slow down and exit in a controlled way. if the air were to exit abruptly without deceleration, the sharp pressure difference between the underbody airflow and the external air would cause excessive drag and turbulence.

the closer the car's floor is to the ground, the tighter the venturi tunnel becomes, which amplifies the suction effect and generates more downforce. however, running the floor too low heightens the risk of porpoising. porpoising happens when the carefully balanced airflow under the car is disrupted, causing the suspension to oscillate repeatedly. if the air separates due to excessive suction or blockage, the diffuser can't manage the air properly and downforce decreases. this reduction in downforce allows the suspension to rise. as the car lifts from the track, the airflow stabilizes, restoring downforce. but with more downforce, the suspension compresses again. this cycle repeats if not managed, and we see it as the car bouncing over and over.

conversely, if the car's floor is set further from the ground, the venturi effect becomes less pronounced, resulting in less downforce. reduced downforce means less grip, which leads to slower cornering speeds.

downforce produced by the floor creates less dirty air than downforce produced by wings, as it creates a smaller turbulent wake. this makes it easier for following cars to maintain performance when racing closely. the diminishing of dirty air is part of why f1 switched to the ground effect cars in the first place. but the reliance on the floor (increased ride height sensitivity and porpoising) and diffuser (increased wet weather spray), along with the teams naturally investing more in wing-based downforce anyways, were evidently deemed not to be worth it... since they're moving towards active aero for 2026 (movable wing components to dynamically balance downforce and drag).

im wearing very fun pants today that I thrifted ages ago and then immediately outgrew in the ass area, but hrt IS a blessing so anyway i am wearing them today for basically the first time and. 1) they look great (see below) but 2) how do people deal with low rise pants. i feel like my ass crack is on Full Display this is like wearing anxiety as a pair of pants

i know fat redistribution happened so I need T to explain itself right fuckin now

★ DAY 75

hypothetical cowboy au? situation? i just had a good idea

[beaft]

really cool how I've been on T for nearly 4 years now and have had surgery and had my name + gender legally recognised and even with all that i still only pass about 10% of the time. my mother told me on the phone the other day that i'll always look like a woman and i can't even be mad because she's right

[conkreetmonkey]

Asking because I've been obsessing over the logistics and "what ifs" of a hypothetical transition and have a grocery list of hypothetical goals (passable voice, beard/chest hair removal, pre-learn how girl clothes work, etc), as well as a ton of research into different kinds of HRT and studies/anecdotes about how to make it work better, and part of me feels like... should I not just let go, roll with whatever comes, and just enjoy it?

I'm not sure how much thought typically goes into these things, or how life-consuming they are... if I'm going back into puberty, which sucked ass the first time, I may as well go in prepared this time, right? Or should I stop obsessing over results and avoiding pubescent awkwardness, and just enjoy the journey? Like, as much as the awkward in-between will suck, is the slow morph into something more comfortable not supposed to be a fun and fulfilling experience? Is trying to minmax something unpredictable worth it?

[bunnyboy-juice]

i love stealing my butch's clothes to mix & match with my own cus i get such fun outfits out of it that makes so many different kinds of dykes turn their heads towards me

[atopvisenyashill]

since it's pride can i psa i use they/theirs only and i would prefer people using like, gender neutral words to describe me (unless it's funnier to say the gendered word, in which case go for it, for example, go piss girl). kind of confusing i get it since "rani" as a name is kind of girly (i've been thinking about changing the spelling to "ronnie" which is more masc but i don't think it looks as cute!!! i liek the spelling for rani!), and admittedly i have been thinking about using a more neutral name online. but ya. bisexual nonbinary bitch here. okay send xweet.

Castrel…! To accompany the previous Lanio piece

Gonna take a few days off from drawing bc I’ve been noticing my wrists and arms hurting at night. With my new brand of chronic pain I’m not sure when the warning signs become significant, so I’m hitting the brakes earlier than I even want. A couple extra frames done quicker will not finish the whole project considerably sooner, after all. Now I just have to find literally anything interesting enough to distract me for that long LOL

[theriverbeyond]

i’m really loving seeing your t updates :,) pls keep it coming !!! say more!!!! what else!!!

AWWW thanks :') this is so sweet. well. I've only told 2 people IRL I've started T and none of them have specifically noticed any changes and also no one who I havent told has made any comments so like, I feel like as much as I DO feel like I'm being hit my a truck (positive) I feel like it's mostly internal?

Which I say as a positive statement honestly. Like the strongest positive force that HRT has given me thus far is internal, but 1) I live in here so that's fine by me and 2) "other people notice/treat me differently" isn't in any of my HRT goals and is in fact perhaps somewhat of an anti-goal. I'm not a dude I'm a dyke, pronouns are contextual (thank u Leslie Fienberg), and I've been varying levels of socially transitioned (for whatever that is worth as a nonbinary person) for... shit, 10 years now? oh my god. time is wild.

anyway I may have lost the plot with this answer but I do feel like I'm the hottest person alive rn (I was aflicted by this condition perhaps 72 hours ago) which is definitely T related and also extremely wild considering, as stated before, I really havent changed at all physically and also my uh, very bad body image track record. So that is extremely fun.... we shall see how it progresses. kill the part of you that wants to be a twink and embrace freedom and joy

The lesson here would probably to learn from all the people actually pirating the cc and point users to DHM/Rebels instead of re-uploading the cc posted there on tumblr and putting yourself at risk. There's a reason why they chose telegram as a place to host the files and why they treat donations the way they do (private & anonymously). There's a reason why some creators cannot be requested on DHM. Some of these creators are straight up fucked and the doxxing ring(s) they've had show that well. An occasional re-upload for convenience sake probably isn't bad, but continuously doing it even with the most notorious creators (r*byred for example) is unnecessary risk that puts a target right on your back. At this point, there should be absolutely no shock that a paywall creator would behave like this. I'm more surprised mass reporting hasn't happened before now, or worse. This will continue to happen as long as it's done openly, until the relevant blog is deleted or the owner is doxxed/threatened enough to stop. Because the paywallers in question have proven they can and will target and harass people that do this.

But Veil noticed the club’s attention, and she didn’t like it. In September 2016, she wrote to her fans on Reddit: “I do not want my work distributed.” She wanted the exclusive right to release, or delete, her own work.

well that's stupid and really puts the whole thing back on the side of “online artists are annoying” for me
