most of the talk on this website about Game Changer is how Sam Reich psychologically tortures his contestants, but I want to make it clear to the uninitiated that he's actually extremely ethical about it

He sends out a company wide email and asks them to choose episodes based on a chili pepper rating system

meaning he doesn't put 🌶️🌶️ people into 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episodes

they're also big on consent ie cast and crew have to be okay with it before they'll do nudity or something like that in an episode

it's like the bdsm of psychological torture. safe, sane, and consensual.

the contestants know what they're getting into, and they're full down

What I’ve observed

[cripple-punk-dad]

my dad asked me if people know who I am. I know what he meant, my family has always talked in subtext, but then he asked if I was happy. And when I said yes, he smiled and said "me too".

[cripple-punk-dad]

nobody look at me I'm experiencing the joy of realizing I would've been dead a year ago today if things had gone the way I wanted but I am alive and life is hard but good and I wouldn't want it any other way. Unrelated but remember that the body keeps score even if you don't, and if you suddenly feel the need to go on a week long bender and get crossfaded every night for like a week when you normally don't do that, maybe double check that there aren't any particularly emotional anniversaries happening.

[SCENE: driving back from my appointment]

dad: ...am I going to have to teach you how to shave?

me: uh yeah! at some point, lol

dad: hm. well I can show you the way I prefer, with mug soap and a brush, because the aerosol cans are just no. I showed your brother my way and he likes it a lot better too...

dad: [rambles for a bit]

dad: ...it's really just another chore, you look in the mirror and go 'ugh I have to shave soon' so it's just one of those things you do every once in a while

me, externally: haha yeah, I can't wait :]

me, internally: he's talking about this like it's no big deal, it's not weird at all,,, he doesn't mind the idea of teaching me despite the fact that he never expected to be doing this with me,,,, he's my dad and he supports me even if he doesn't completely get it,,,

Photographed by Martin Schoeller for The New Yorker in 2002:

 "I was hired by the New Yorker in 2002 to photograph Robin Williams, and after doing my research what stood out most for me was that he was a very physical comedian. I came up with this idea to photograph him swinging from a chandelier in a grand hotel room. Most publicists shoot down these kinds of wild ideas, so I didn’t tell anyone what I was up to, but rigged up a chandelier at the Waldorf Astoria hotel for him to swing from. When Robin got there and saw what was happening, he lifted up his shirt and showed me this enormous scar on his shoulder. He’d just had surgery and couldn’t so much as lift his arm. He was so disappointed! He really felt bad about not being able to do it, because he loved the idea and really wanted to help me accomplish my vision. 

Unlike most Hollywood stars, he was unfazed by his success and position. He talked to everyone from stylists to the crew, to the hotel staff. We ended up asking a maid at the hotel to swing from the chandelier instead, and I asked him to just sit there and read a newspaper, which I think in the end was an even funnier, more unexpected picture.

!! QUICK PSA FOR TESTOSTERONE TAKERS !!

warning this is a bit gross so i'll put the photos under the cut but i think it's important because nobody told me about this before i started T

if you're taking testogel/any other T that you put on your skin, please for the love of god moisturise the skin you put it on

gel REALLY dries out your skin and as someone with dry skin anyway it caused my skin to flake and scab and break out more which has left a lot of scarring on my back/chest/shoulders

(yes, T causes acne anyway, but for me personally my skin didn't get that much worse after i started and it's improved since i've been moisturising more so that was the problem for me)

obviously there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with having acne or acne scarring or anything like that (it just makes me a bit insecure and means i have to put off getting tattoos there until it gets better), i just wish i'd started taking care of it earlier

also i would Never want to scare anyone off HRT if they want it because it's been a wonderful magical thing for me but there are some uncomfortable aspects of it and this is just one that i didn't know about

If there's one thing I wish I could've somehow communicated to my past self I'd just be that gay trans men exist and it's possible to be one.

You can identify as a man without relating to stereotypical cis straight masculinity. You can be masculine in the way that gay men who are drag queens are masculine. You can want to love and be loved as a man. You can like women's fashion, having brunch with the girls and hate sports and beer, all while being a man.

There are so many ways to be a man. Queer masculinity is beautiful and diverse and if you yearn to be a part of it and the only thing holding you back is the lack of representation and awareness, then I'm here to tell you that gay trans men are real & you can be one, if that's what you vibe with.

Guys guys guys listen because my best friend and I got drunk together last night for the first time on the anniversary of my discharge from the hospital after my last attempt and like 4 years ago we were both doing so shitty and we never thought we'd make it this far. We were clinging to a cliff lined with razorblades. A year ago we both thought we'd never make it this far with each other. But hey look! We made it this far! I have a house of my own (sort of) I have new friends and my old friends are still here (the ones that I care about, at least), I have a semblance of autonomy over my own life. I am almost done with my first year of college. I've almost been on T for a whole year. I can be openly queer! I can cut my own hair and dye it however I want! Guys. Guys I'm gripping you tightly by the shoulders and telling you that it will be ok. Life is a soup of bittersweet experiences seasoned with love and hate and indifference. ENJOY IT. ENJOY THE GODDAMN SOUP BECAUSE YOU ONLY GET ONE SOUP AND YOU CAN PUT WHATEVER YOU WANT IN IT.

sometimes I get dysphoria about having tits even though I'm a boy and then I remember Joel McHale's insane rack and I feel better.

[cripple-punk-dad]

i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went “no you’re fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didn’t even realize my shoulder was doing that lmao” then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.
