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.

Proposal for new fandom etiquette:

If you read a fic because it was linked/recced somewhere, you leave a comment saying "came from XXX" and that comment doesn't need to include anything else.

Because when all of a sudden there's a lot of activity on one particular fic I WANNA KNOW WHY!!!!!

I'm turning 30 this month, and for some reason have become suddenly interested in material possessions. like what if,,,,,,,,my couch was nice. what if my sheets were nice. is this what happens to you??

If you see someone with a really bad fandom take, I’m begging you to open your emails and write a strongly worded missive to your local government official about something bad happening in your community or country.

If you’re in Canada you could email a rep about concerns about Elon musk interfering in our next federal election.

If you’re in the US the list is endless.

If you’re in the UK you could email about trans health care.

If you’re in Australia, what about dental care in Medicare?

If you’re in Europe, look into some EU initiatives of particular concern. Perhaps something to do with nature and biodiversity? Idk

Just today I emailed my local mla about coal mining in the Rocky Mountains and tomorrow I’m going to pick something else and do it again

A popular artist suddenly made a trans man comic, and the viewers are not getting it

Being against a trans man's transition because you think it's too boring is transphobic, actually.

what Work is the most important? the work you have to do next. narrow the scope of focus down to that singular glittering point.

so there is a solid reason for a lot of it despite my bitching. I work for an investment brokerage and they 1. do not want any of their employees using their name to get credibility to pull shady shit, 2. don't want possible conflicts of interest, and 3. have a legal requirement to supervise certain kinds of activity I do (like trading securities or giving investment advice.)

however. they also won't let me get licensed as an enrolled agent so I can pick up part time work preparing taxes in the screen and I'm not able to do Any financial education sort of stuff, which feels like overkill.

deeply frustrating thing about my job:

i would like to use my skills and licenses and credentials to branch out and do other relevant shit outside of work which is not my current job. this is not allowed.

can I provide educational content about my area of expertise? banned.

okay. fine. what if I write reviews of books about my subject of expertise? banned.

what if I do something in a related field which has nothing to do with my current licenses? banned.

can i use my skills to volunteer? nope, not unless im doing it through my company's official public service department during one of their prearranged events.

i understand the rationale but it truly grinds my gears. mind your own business my god.

Haven't figured out a politic way to word this but before saying someone/thing "makes you uncomfortable" please ask yourself this important question: is it any of your fucking business

Walking around my neighborhood wearing my sick as fuck custom T-shirt that says "I STEAL EVERY FRIENDLY CAT I MEET WITH NO REMORSE I DO IT ALL THE TIME DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK I BEEN HERE FOR YEARS KEEP THAT BEAST ENCLOSED LEST YE FACE MY LIGHTNING CAT GRASP" and smiling politely while my neighbors' indoor-outdoor cats gently trot down the sidewalk towards me as the neighbors themselves read my shirt with a growing sense of panic.

idk why but i feel like being a punk is for he/hims and doing ballet is for she/hers

new kinds of response have mutated.

-extremely earnest attempts at problem-solving for the knight to reach a fulfilling conclusion

-"me at work"

-"this is about [historical or mythological figure]"

-"op are u doing ok" im doing phenomenal thank u for asking

knight who is constantly searching for a good and noble king to serve but cannot fucking find one for the life of him so he has to become the good and noble king himself.

and now all these other knights are coming around like "please let me serve you" and like obviously hes going to let them serve him thats the point of being a good and noble king but its also. very annoying. one of you become the good and noble king for once lets trade

when i was like 19 I listened to a podcast where a couple of 30+ year olds were discussing how extremely young 22 year olds are.

"up until you're about 25," they said, "you're extremely self-focused. which is totally normal and healthy, we're not saying you're Selfish. it's just that all of your energy is going into figuring out who you are and what you're doing and how you're navigating the world. and then around 25 you go through a sort of second puberty where you're able to look outside of yourself and have these moments of recognition that everyone in the world is also living a life as complex and painful and joyful and interesting as yours. and if u embrace that then that's the process by which you become a fully fledged adult."

at the time I was like WHATEVER. at my big age of 19 I am fully aware that other people HAVE LIVES. I'm so grown up and mature.

and then I relistened to that episode after turning 25 and it's like. yeah okay I see what you mean LMAO
