How many ears does Captain Kirk have? 

Three. A left ear. A right ear.

And a final front ear.

@pry Gods, I am so happy to find that I’m not alone (I have dozens of books in progress at any point); I am so sad to find that I’m not alone (this doesn’t seem to be how it’s supposed to work) 🤣

do you read one book at a time or multiple?

Forgotten Gods

Aralezs
The oldest gods in the Armenian pantheon, Aralezs were gods in the form of dogs with wings, whose powers included the ability to resurrect the dead by licking wounds clean.

@Robotbeat @TheSpaceshipper I appreciated each of these in their own special way. Pouring four out for the lost lights. 🫗

Trans rights are incredibly important, and everyone should care about them just for themselves.

But this definition of woman thing is a RED ALERT for cis women who don't want a legal regime based on two sexes having different roles.

This is about reorganizing society around the idea that cis women's purpose in life is to get pregnant. Restrictions on cis women's behavior, in the name of "protection" of either the woman or her unborn child, will grow harsher and harsher down this road.

@marcin Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️ This was the year that I discovered I like photographing little humans; I’m hoping to have more opportunities in 2023!!

If my friends didn’t occasionally force me out, I’d have nothing but photos of my dog. But I’d be happy with that too. 🥰

Binary trans folks will be like, "I'm in a couple with 10 people."

Non-binary trans folks will be like, "I'm in a couple with 2 people."

@theconfusedyeti@tech.lgbt Okay. This took some research.

The first video game I remember is Defender on my father’s Atari 2600. I doubt I ever played it, though I might have chewed on the joystick.

If you count text adventures, the first game I remember playing is Infocom’s Wishbringer (1985). I would have been 7-8.

If our definition of video games requires graphics, then it would have been the SMB/Duckhunt cartridge in my elementary school friend’s bedroom a year or two later. That’s definitely the one that ruined me for all time. 😹

@danirabbit fuck realistic expectations. We are trans women. We didn’t tell society to go fuck itself and take back out gender just to have reasonable expectations. We’ve fought too hard. Maybe try and fall short. Maybe succeed in ways you didn’t expect. But don’t you dare tell me you’re not aiming for the fucking moon.

@danirabbit “AGP is not real” should be the T-Shirt we all wear to the next Trans March; it should be printed on beer cozies and handed out as business cards on game night; it should be on billboards and in written in the sky every afternoon.

I’ve never wanted to outright murder an imaginary animal so much as I do this one.

@danirabbit @rooster Like, generally, I’m fairly forgiving on this front, being that you can’t see gender and all, … except of course when you bleeping CAN. 👁️

Jean Bartik needs to be in everyone's lexicon of OG programmers. She literally designed and implemented the first machine code and stored program mode for ENIAC, after previously having to physically rewire it per task. Like hey this is just too close to the metal! Let's maybe get a little distance from the metal? Still very metal.

Trans girls will say shit like "no thoughts head empty I'm a total bimbo" then proceed to infodump about type theory.

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.
