Spent tonight at a local short film festival. One of the shorts was made by two 12 year olds in their backyard and it was the best short of the entire night

your post about the cock sizes of these characters portrays a lack of understanding of their role in the narrative.

Being the only bi cis guy amongst almost exclusively trans friends and peers is wild because in theory its like im living in a horny manga where all of a dudes friends turn into hot babes, but in reality they are hunting me like the last bison on the prairie. 5 years ago I mentioned bionicle and one of them asked when I was starting estrogen.

one of my Formative Adult Memories is like, so simple and yet so unique that I feel compelled to share.

I was 19, working at a shitty subway, when a customer ordered a veggie sub, paid, put a 3" red paper booklet onto the counter, and then left. I picked up the booklet and tossed it in my pocket, not thinking much about it, but back then, I had a habit of reading whatever religious materials people would give to me, as I felt it would help me better understand their mindsets and sort of "bridge the gap" between us. So, later that night, when I was home and changing clothes, I found the booklet, flopped onto my futon, and started to read.

It. Wasn't a religious booklet. It was a warning against eating meat. It wasn't from a vegetarian or vegan perspective, either; no, it was a full fucking article on the origins of mad cow disease, starting with scrapie in sheep and going on from there. It talked about the presence of spongiform encephalothapy that was prevalent in a cannibalistic tribe -- whose members ate the brains of their deceased. It talked about prion disease, and how we have no way to combat that shit, not even with fire. It talked about how easily it would be for the entire food supply to become tainted -- if corporations keep pushing for outrageous profits and slacking on food safety, especially in meat packing plants, where brain and spinal tissue can wind up in ground beef because workers don't get paid enough (and will actually be punished) if they stop the line to properly dispose of any tainted product.

And I went hum. Not sure if this is nutter science or not. So I go onto the internet, and wouldn't you fucking know, nothing in the booklet was really fabricated. There were articles about the scrapie issues -- something I'd never been taught, something I'd never even heard of. Literally giant huge actual issue in the world that had occurred before my time, and I'd discovered The Truth in a tiny self-published book made of construction paper. Shouldn't such a threat be taught in, idk? Biology? Physiology? Home economics????

Back then I was full of righteous fury about it. But now, I think about how many people don't wash their hands after the Times You Are Supposed To Wash Your Hands despite being taught the Hows and Whys from a very early age, and I realize that. People don't care about a whole lot of shit they SHOULD care about. And now we have an epidemic of alzheimer's -- which is so similar to CJD that it makes me think, hmm. Hmmmmmmm. That little red book. You tried to warn us.
