BOOSTS REQUESTED. I need folks who can help maintain the Gender Dysphoria Bible.

There are a number of maintenance tasks that are long over due, including integrating the spanish translation and upgrading the site builder to run in Node 16/18.

Month after month I cannot find the executive function to tackle them, and I feel like I’m letting down my Patreon supporters.

If there’s anyone with the needed nodejs experience who can help, I’ll pay you out of my funding. #transgender #trans #gdb

I’m not sure why I thought the right way to kick off 2023 was by rescreening Ugetsu (1953); I have no one to blame but myself. 🙄

@em_7dice i was in los angeles a couple of weekends ago at a gallery showing for original art inspired by the last unicorn. Cat had presentation.

It’s not that I’m hungover, it’s that I’m still drunk. 😵‍💫

@nicole That makes sense. Some of the transmen I've known have had a clearer grasp on manhood than those born into it.
Similar to how transfemmes can shine a different light on women's spaces.

Reviewing my film reviews from this year’s Sundance, I have coming to realize that I can be one catty bitch:

“Woman follows her absentee partner to nicely color-graded Bucharest and takes up the hobby of janitor harassment. Her neighbors mostly hate her. Partly because her Romanian barely extends to polite conversation about carrots; mostly because she’s boorish and rude. The janitor tries to kill her in the end. Cause and effect are so hopelessly muddled; I’m not sure what the lesson here is—if you harass your neighbors, they might want to kill you?”

my new years resolution is to convince the unicode committee to add the lolsob emoji to the standard

New Year’s resolution: We stop saying history will judge them. We judge them now. With judges.

My New Year’s Resolution: top that.

“That” being an 8x10 photograph I captured in Japan in 2019. The subject matter was a waterfall blessing of (or by?) a portable Shinto shrine.

It’s probably my best photograph (a moment of motion). But I was boymodding at the time, so I don’t feel authorship the way I want to. Maybe that’s an impossible goal to reach for—feeling authorship the way I want to—but that’s the goal just the same. 🥳

🥺 Okay, _fine_.
🥹 Cue the waterworks.

“This was how life went. A single moment seemed to extend forever, then suddenly you were snapped out of it. The forward motion of time stretched whatever rubbery glue-like substance had fixed you there until it failed catastrophically. You weren’t the person you were before you got trapped; you weren’t the person you were while you were trapped: the merciless thing about it, Liv discovered, was that you weren’t someone entirely different either.”

@PanicButton Reading transmasc blogs was hugely influential to my struggles with inward-facing transphobia. I didn’t trust my own perceptions of myself, but, I know men very well. And these transmasc bloggers were guys, through and through.

I'm loving all of the transfemme joy going on in my timeline, but I want to stop and let the transmascs know that they're amazing and worthy of celebrating as well.
You men and masc enbies are incredible and valid, and here's hoping that we all have a healthy and empowered 2023.

@courtney@mstr.cloud @danirabbit @rooster @Tattie Right. Life at Soulsborne difficulty levels is what we crave.

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.
