It just clicked for me that I’m going to be all-consumingly devoted to intensive studying for the next month. I’ve been more ambivalent since the year started, bc I honestly miss my friends and want to pursue a lot of hobbies I’ve been dying to pick up, but I want nothing more than to ace an upcoming test that will genuinely determine so much of the trajectory of my life. I’ve already been studying pretty consistently for it, but now I’m actually letting go of my expectations for other things while this is going on. Putting all this pressure on myself has done nothing but slow me down. Like my brain is actually shifting into study camp mode. It’ll be back to waking up at 4 am, studying for 8 hours a day minimum, crunching flash cards w my morning drink/on the treadmill, getting so much done before noon, and not feeling guilty if other areas of my life suffer a little bit. Nothing outside of this matters.

I watched Lena Dunham's Sharp Stick (2022) with a babe last month. Which I absolutely loved!!!
It's never explicitly acknowledged, but the main character is clearly supposed to be (despite the producers claiming otherwise) in some way neurodivergent. Or something. She's meek and impossibly sexually naive (to the point where me and the girl I watched it with had initially assumed the character was intended to be a child). Apparently they had approached an autism sexuality advocate to work as a consultant for the film before backpeddling.
Trans girls tend to be autistic.
The main character also had a hysterectomy (as did Lena Dunham).
Trans girls tend to be infertile.
She's shown taking estrogen.
Trans girls tend to take estrogen.
She becomes obsessed with porn and begins having one night stands with random men from the internet in hopes of finding validation by proving her sexual desirability.
Trans girls tend to do that shit.
It ends with her realizing and leaning into her impregnation fetish (while getting fucked by the one black guy she knows who had just brought over some 40s and called them homies and also while her black step sister's hands unexpectedly drift in from off screen to hold her because even when she managed to push it off to the last second Lena Dunham is incapable of being chill and normal about race).
Trans girls can't go ten seconds without making the same joke about how if you don't think you can get a trans girl pregnant then you just aren't trying hard enough (and the frequent fetishization of black men in trans and especially neighboring sissy communities can't really be denied).
Also the bartender is played by Tommy Dorfman (a trans woman) with it being her first time playing a character with a girl name.
But I'm not trying to suggest it's intentionally a movie about the tgirl excperience. That would be silly. Really the takeaway should be that (no matter how varied women's lives may be) we (trans women and cis women etc) can still always find common ground and shared excperiences. We're all in this together.
But anyways I was looking at Lena Dunham's Instagram yesterday (I've been off and on again rewatching Girls, so she's stayed on my mind).
One post features the music video she directed starring famed trans girl Hari Nef.
Another post shows that she recently read trans boy Elliot Paige's memoir Paige Boy.
Another post shows a conversation she had with Jon Bernthal (on his podcast) where she explains the word cis to him and talks about having also explained it to her husband (this is the only clip from her appearance on the podcast that she chose to post).
BTW did you know that she was an executive producer for the 2021 show Genera+ion (which I recall featuring a trans boy actor playing a cis boy character who gets a girl pregnant).
Fascinating!
Meanwhile. Ten years earlier. In 2013 (a year into my transition and a year before Time declared that we've reached the trans tipping point) an episode of Girls features a doorman telling one of the titular Girls that "a tranny walked in last time and he was just walking around the floors, but it was nothing." (lmao)
UPDATE: s05e02 features a "did you just assume my pronouns" bit. (in a way that felt reactionary and gross because the theyfab saying it was an absurd hipster barista that the audience isn't intended to sympathize with)
UPDATE UPDATE: s06e02 features the leader of a group for women entrepreneurs saying "For those of you asking on our Facebook if the group is open to trans women: The answer is: We don't know. Okay?" (which I thought was fun)
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: s06e03 (the literal next episode) "I even went to a couple of hookers and one of them had a dick."

TARNMA HOT TAKE: Tarn is the sophisticated one that listens to classical music and wants to do ballroom dancing, Pharma does NOT share these tastes and instead is the kind of dude who will dance to whatever generic pop music is popular on the radio this year and would do the Cha Cha Slide/Cupid Shuffle/(insert popular song everyone knows the dance routine to in your culture) and sing shittily with his favorite songs while drunk

Come back to me - Part 1
Master List - Come back to me
Next chapter - Part 2
Synopsis: After a bad fight with Maverick, she finds herself with no one to fall on.
Maverick x reader / Iceman x reader
A/N - Anyone who would like to be tagged in the future post of this series please leave a comment :) Happy readings everyone!
———————
She knew he was a prick when she met him, she knew he was dangerous, unpredictable.
But she hadn’t expected this, he really went south after Goose. He went out drinking every night, she blankly ignored his unfaithful flirting with other woman.
She knew it would be hard, she knew he needed time.
———————
She stared at him in shock clutching her burning check, he glared at her. How dare he.
Her jaw ticked and she clenched her teeth, spinning around grabbing her keys form the table and out the door.
The car started and sped out of the driveway of their house, how dare he hit her. After all she had gone through for him? All she had put up with?
A small part of her yearned for the old Maverick the one who took her out on dates and complemented her, instead of the drunk that criticised her clothing.
She shoved the car into park as it skitter across the gravel parking spaces of Hard Decks. The door slammed behind her as she walked into the bar, penny wasn’t working today. Thank god for small mercies she could stand to look at the woman who shamelessly flirted with her boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend, if you had a say in it.
She dropped into the seat at the bar after receiving a glass of whiskey, she needed something strong and fast. Someone slid into the space next to her, a pair of aviator sunglasses were placed into the bar top.
A hand holding a glass came into her vision using his pinky to raise her chin to look at him, Tom silently studied her bruise rapidly forming on her face.
Iceman, someone she had only met once and seen twice. One of Maverick flight mates, not one of friendly terms she gathered form the limited interactions she had seen between them.
A frown pulled at his lips in displeasure, he relinquished his position placing his glass down on the bar, placing m his cold slightly wet hand form the consecration of the glass onto the forming bruise.
She signed closing her eyes as it helped still the throbbing, “did he do this?”.
The sharpness of the tone couldn’t be missed she opened her eye to look at him, he was looking at the mark as if it had personally offends him.
“He didn’t mean it” she mumbled about his palm as she learnt into his cooling hand, his eyes narrowed and gritted his teeth “bullshit”.
Her phone started to ring and she pulled back reluctantly pulling it form her pocket bunking in anger as Maverick name appeared on the screen.
“Do you have somewhere to go tonight?” The question caught her of guard, the aviator was already collecting his keys and glasses from the bar top chucking down a few notes as a tip or to cover the drinks she wasn’t sure.
“You don’t know me” she said deflecting the question, he nodded over to some other men playing pool in the back and she faintly recognised one. Was he an aviator as well?
“Well your going to have to get to know me, because I’m not sending you back to that house” he placed a hand ion her lower back not to low it was indecent but a respectable height he lead her out into the night.
Maybe Iceman wasn’t that bad after all.

Pls don't ask me to recommend a season to watch of a long-running TV program. My ass is just going to say "I liked season 1 episode 1. It really grabbed me and made me want to see more."
