Ursula Le Guin on life before Roe vs Wade… From her book of essays Words Are My Matter @bookstodon #feminism #abortion #BeingAWoman
@theconfusedyeti@tech.lgbt Oh, gods. This is my every day for the last two weeks. One day, I’m going to choose wrong.
Okokokok. Need to get organized. It can’t all be 12 books at once. (Who am I kidding? It’s usually more like 54).
My immediate #cinema watchlist (in order):
🏔️ Raining in the Mountain
🛫 La Jetée
🇯🇵 Battles Without Honor and Humility
🤥 Pinocchio (2022)
🚣♀️ Céline and Julie Go Boating
Also, could Women Talking please be showing somewhere where I can see it? TU!

I hate the framing of breast implants as “fake” or opposed to “natural” boobs. I want positive words for both. I’m going with boobs that are “homegrown” or “modern marvels.”

@DavidBFox Stunning🤩
@nerdybutcute Yuuuuuuuuuuuuu—p.
@h5e oh, very much same. Did you also avoid gendering yourself in conversation? (I always felt like that was my longest-running tell).

...can you possibly avoid this horrifying situation? Be sure to have some cucumbers ready if you meet a kappa as it's their favourite treat and can distract them long enough to allow you to escape. Alternatively, a deep bow should do the trick. Out of politeness, kappa will bow in return and the water will run out of the bowl-like dip on their heads, causing them to lose their energy and collapse.
I've also got more info and art here:

@h5e Pupate away!! 👐 ✨🦋
@h5e in so many ways, transitioning can feel like learning a new trade. It’s like you’re becoming a stage magician, with all the study, equipment, and energy that it requires. Illusions and banter, illusions and banter. Only, with time, the magic becomes real, and you come out the other side as m***** f******* sorceress—which is just so much cooler. 💃
(And you get to keep all the rabbits you pulled from the hat too)
@h5e Excite!

scope creep is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face my desire to replace my if-else block with an event system. i will permit it to pass over me and through me
