I'm sorry, but that's one sad looking monster.

The amazing part of transitioning, is I actually wanna have a future.

I like being myself.

I have so many things I wanna do.

And people too.

Benson Boone sounds like the name of a guy in a folk song who gets gunned down for adultery and thrown in a river

an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc

and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean

and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere

horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.

and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader

I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight

language is amazing

fat liberation without feedism is honestly like queer liberation without kink. like, you're not a liberation movement when you exclude sexual aspects you find distasteful, and distaste of feedism always comes back around to disgust for fat people expressing joy about being fat.

1929 casting call for a stage play requiring men of size … from the look of things there was no shortage of qualifying candidates! Note the flapper’s complete look of awe as her hand rests on the ample belly of the man standing on the scale …

Condemning the “woke left” for what he called the “modern evisceration of masculinity,” local conservative man Hank Daniels confirmed Monday that he was never going to stop being proudly frightened of everything. “I’m proud as hell to be scared of everything, and there’s nothing you can do to silence me about that fact,” said Daniels, puffing out his chest as he spoke from behind a barricaded basement door that he had reinforced to keep out the “terrifying liberals, women, and immigrants who haunt my thoughts, at all hours of the day and night, whether I’m awake or asleep,” which he told reporters he was not ashamed to admit in the slightest.

Stuffed myself so full I can't stand up until my belly settles from the pressure.
