stop being silly in front of me

There's a particular kind of hurt when you're slowly pushed out of the lives of a family you've known and loved your whole life. Like, this family essentially filled the role of cousins for me.

We lived so far away from our extended family that I didn't have that growing up, really. I dont know what happened. I was best friends with the oldest daughter for 25 years and over the past 5 years I haven't heard much from her at all. The middle daughter invited my whole family to her wedding except for me. I never hear about what's going on with them except from my mother because they still go to my parents house nearly every weekend but my friend never tells me when she's in town.

My BROTHER got invited to the wedding, even. I never even got a text asking if I was going. I didn't find out he was going until yesterday. When they were planning this wedding it was "family only" but now my whole family is going (except me) and they even invited some of my parents neighbors.

I can't think of an explanation for it that doesn't cut deep.

3 years ago I had a huge falling out with a mutual friend of mine and the oldest daughter's. After I started medical transition, this friend started treating me really strangely and getting hostile. When I started dating my partner they tried to break us up, accused him of trying to cheat on me--which was blatantly false (I even had a conversation with him about it laying out boundaries and expectations. The "our relationship is exclusive" conversation). Then this friend spread awful rumors about me and my partner.

I can't help but wonder if that mess has something to do with it. Or if it's because I'm queer. I dont know. It just hurts.

Idk. I was there when their father died. I fed them. I waited with them while the cops and coroner arrived. I called friends to help out.

What happened?

HEY GUYS

Who wants to help ruin Trump's birthday?

Yup you heard that right. On June 14, Trump is planning on having a pretty big military parade to be all like "I'm such a powerful king" and in response there's going to be HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of protests against his regime telling him to sit his ass back down.

The link below has more information and a map of currently planned protests. There's options in every single state. Even if you can't go, share this information, and consider reaching out to organizers of local protests to see if they need any logistical help. Chances are, they'll appreciate it.

Do you really think a billionaire nazi capitalist raised in apartheid south africa will support liberal causes?

He is so into that guy. They look like they're going to make out like 50 times before Quark even discovers he's trans. Once he does find out, he chooses not to pursue the relationship because he can't run off with Pel to the Gamma quadrant because he's responsible for supporting his family and knows Pel wouldn't be happy as a ferengi wife. So he gives Pel some money to start his new life and they're both pretty heartbroken about having to part ways. Quark also defends Pel to the grand nagus, introducing the nagus to the idea of women's rights. Like Quark is such a real one in that episode. Refuses to force Pel to detransition and does a feminism.

Also, he does make out with Pel at the end, which is pretty awesome.

Remember the time Quark fell in love with a trans dude?

It's amazing how often someone will say something about transandrophobes and some fucker jumps in to say that trans women are the culprits.

I'm thinking of a specific comment that says "the venn diagram between a trans woman and an incel is a circle"

Like bitch, no. Wtf. The post itself usually says nothing about trans women at all.

How did we wind up with "transandrophobe=trans woman"? Bad faith bullshit.

[nv-alexander]

Fun fact: posts about the experiences of trans men and trans mascs come with a free blocklist in the comments section of everyone who says transandrophobia isn't real!

I wish I could jump between full time jobs without having to quit them entirely. Like do one for a few months, then another for a few months, then go back to the first one.

I had a dream last night where I was a full time tailor and now I want that again

Why would you want grass shorter than the clover cover? Grass is so ugly

When I own a house I am letting that shit grow. My yard will be a beautiful meadow.
