I'm almost 29, which I think is quite young still.

Despite this, I've lived through enough culture-war-like events for it to seem obvious when an outgroup is being vilified as sexual perverts attempting to infiltrate the pure ingroup and vile thought-police attempting to prevent any discussion of the Truth about Them.

On the nose over and over again, you'd think more people served this messaging would notice.

Trans Journey 

@chrmi Oh, I remember that moment for myself sooooooo clearly: it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. 😝

It’s totally normal to be cautious, but ultimately no one can tell you how to be you, and that’s the bedrock that everything else that comes next will be built on. Be generous, be forgiving, be tolerant of mistakes, but also be these things for yourself.

@evangreer It only eats what you give it. It will never go away, it will never change (for the better), but you don’t have to feed it yourself.

@chrmi I had to do this last year. Mad 💖 to you; it’s going to be alright.

I just found this comic on Reddit and almost cried.

I was in today, getting some art framed and I stopped in at Muracci’s for some Japanese curry. Notes follow.

1. Yum

2. Wow, I eat so much less after having dropped 10 pounds of muscle mass in the last year (). 😳

3. Some of my strongest memories of Japan are of eating curry out of gas station restaurants (pictured).

4. I know everyone’s done to death with people snapping photos of their food, but I think there should be a special allowance for those of us who choose to use an 8x10 camera to do it.

@TheSpaceshipper Thanks for the tip!

One of my absolute favorites from a recent trip to Oahu. It was a tourist hellscape—hotels clustered around the ocean like eyes of Sauron around a bath—but I still had an amazing time.

People are everything to me.

@TheSpaceshipper I believe this is now the single most-expensive thing I own.

The juxtaposition between Alien (my favorite film) and Jodorowsky’s Dune made it impossible to resist.

I remember a different version of this sketch from the supplements in the Alien laserdisc boxed set from the 90’s. I don’t usually give in to nostalgia, but it does carry some weight!

@TheSpaceshipper I did not expect to win. Now I need to figure out how to get it out of Paris. 😂

The best part is that I'm labeling a beta tape to provide a supporting image for a mini-fic I wrote, which is about VHS tapes.

so since I am here now, allow me to do some SLEEP PROPAGANDA

SLEEP IS GOOD

SLEEP IS IMPORTANT

SLEEP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY EDUCATION OR JOB

and the fact that we are forced to compromise on sleep in order to fulfill duties to capitalism is an immense injustice and health risk.

lack of sleep obviously increases stress levels and therefore the risk for all kinds of diseases, but it also damages your brain on a cellular level because SLEEP MAINTAINS THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BRAIN.

If you're mad about what a billionaire is doing to destroy Twitter, wait until you hear what billionaires are doing to destroy the planet.

My partner spiked my coffee with Xanax this morning. This is why she’s a superhero, and I’m just some Jane slinging ink for the Daily Planet.

progress of pauline

transition, surgery 

To state the obvious, these are the stakes in the debate around gender-affirming care for minors. It's miraculous that surgical technology exists to undo much of the effect of puberty with the wrong hormones; it's still a hell of a thing to go through, compared to just escaping those hormones in the first place.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
