It Disturbs Me That A Significant Number Of People Think That The Issue With Sexual Violence, Gendered

Ain’t that just the way.

I take so long on my own stuff that I reread the old chapters to remember how things were going, and every now and then I’m like, “oh shit, that’s a great line. I wrote that? Damn! I wrote that!”

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

Thank you black trans men and women and nonbinary folk

everyone say thank you to black trans women and black trans men

Is it just me, or does Iron Man have a mustache? (at Home in Fresno)

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.

Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.

And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.

Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.

Today (20/11/21) is the Transgender Day of Remembrance

This year 375 trans people were killed, 25 more than last years 350. 25% (93) of those 375 were killed in their own homes.

This makes 2021 the deadliest year for gender diverse people since records began

please take this day to remember our trans and nonbinary siblings and hope for a better year for our people in 2022

Edit: this originally said 357, but i got it wrong, i’m dyscalculic sorry about that. 375 is the correct number.

I had to get it out of my system.

You can lead a trans person to the cursed pool but you can’t make them jump in.

Only they can say whether theyre trans or not; however, I know many trans people (myself included) for whom this was a part of their egg story.

My advice is: internalized transphobia is a helluva drug. Let them figure out how to navigate that themself.

CALLING ALL TRANS PEOPLE

Someone I know says they wish they were born as the opposite sex (and that they would only transition if it could be done instantly) but still identifies as cis. I want to be as respectful and hands-off as possible so they can figure this out themselves but I just wanted to ask y’all if they are trans. I think the only things holding them back are some misconceptions about gender and a fear of being discriminated against for being trans. Do they count as trans if they don’t identify as it? I’m still going to respect their wishes to be called by their current pronouns and name, but I just want to know if it would be okay to refer to them as trans when talking about them (to people who don’t know them ofc). Oh also as a disclaimer: they said they didn’t want me using they/them pronouns for them but i’m just using those pronouns to protect their identity.

LOOK AT HER

Made some Bridget (Guilty Gear Strive) PFPs on Picsart few days ago! There’s small differences between some of these. These were mainly made for myself since I wanted a Omni pride PFP of a new favorite character of mine!
