A quintessential example of the period “ghost cat” (bakeneko or kaibyo) movie, this was one of at least six such titles released by the studio Shinko Kinema between 1937-40 featuring Japan’s first scream queen, Sumiko Suzuki

hi! today I launched #TransTuesday as a podcast!

and did you know on Apple Podcasts you also have to feed the algorithm?

the more people subscribe and positively rate/review a podcast, the more Apple Podcasts will feature it and thus more people will find it

if you could spare 30 seconds to drop some positivity on it at the link above, that would help a ton! 💜

and please share and spread the word! so much trans goodness to come!

The tragedy of the commons is a pernicious myth.

The demise of the commons of Britain and Europe wasn't the result of misuse by commoners, but enclosing by the landowners. The original hypothetical was made up for storytelling purposes, and the term was popularized by an ecologist with anti-immigrant and racist views.

Here is my recommended reading for heading into 2023:

@rooster Interesting. When I first started HRT my interest in playing video games went out like a light, and still hasn’t returned.

I did some digging at the time, to see if anyone else reported anything similar, but came up entirely empty handed.

I’ve considered the hypothesis of needing games less as escapism, and, while I can’t disprove it, I’m not confident it explains everything.

I’ve wondered if the reduction in testosterone might also play a role insomuch as it affects “visual stimulation,” and I’ve noticed that video game graphics are far less mesmerizing to me than they were previously.

I like to frame the first four years of HRT for me like high school. Whenever I feel impatient, dissatisfied, or like I have stuff figured out, I think about what I’d tell a kid halfway through their sophomore year who expressed the same.

Zooey Zephyr is now the first trans woman in the history of Montana elected as a legislator.

Her presence will secure representation for trans people in the place where laws are made in one of the states where the battle for rights and dignity will be hardest.

And to me personally, as the woman who gets to love her, I cannot be prouder and happier.

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 apparently liveblogging #TheLastUnicorn so here's that thread so I don't clog up timelines too bad lol

@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.
