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. 🥰

Four of my favorite photos from 2022. Not too shabby for a homebody.

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."

@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.

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.

PSA to all the eggs and baby trans girls: AGP is not real and it’s okay to be allosexual and trans. It’s normal to want to feel sexy. It’s not weird or fetishy to want to feel comfortable having sex. Developing secondary sex characteristics (aka boobs) is a part of transition and it’s okay to be excited about that. Sexuality is a normal part of humanity and womanhood and it’s okay for you to want to experience it 💕

Lurid 1970’s Samurai Cinema 

Sigh. I didn’t know where to turn next.

The Samurai series?

Zatoichi?

The Criterion Channel is an embarrassment or riches.

So, naturally, I had to pivot: on Netflix. Twenty-eight hours of will-they-won’t-they dramatics, complete with proto-ninjas and questionable child actors. Also, roast duck.

@ValerieMars @Natasha_Jay I think after a certain point it becomes so hard because you realize there is no “old self” to go back to. There never was. Eventually you realize they were always a ghost, formless. You can’t go back to pretending to be something empty when you’ve got mass and shape and reality to yourself.

I was never a man, he didn’t exist. If I ever tried to become a man I’d be transitioning, not detransitioning. There is no where to go back to.

I’ve been reading Rhyme’s Rooms: The Architecture of Poetry by Brad Leithauser.

It’s my mid-life attempt to compensate for having dropped out of my freshman course (and thereby aborted my English degree). I dropped out because I couldn’t “hear” syllable stress the way the other students could; scansion might as well have been foreign magic for how much difficulty it caused me.

This is a fun book. I’ve consumed it slowly, and I’ve learned a lot. Unfortunately, one of the things I’ve learned is that I really don’t seem to hear these things the same way that others do. Oh well. At least I now know why the only volume of poetry I own was a gift. 🤷‍♀️📚

Oh my, a whole list of (demon/ghost cat) films.

This is why I love so much: every is a gateway to hand-curated lists of conceptually-related films—genealogies along every imaginable vector.

People who fuck up lots but can't admit their mistakes will be the ones begging to see people they wronged, when near death.

I work with elderly in LTCs. I hear ALL the #regrets from people on their deathbeds.

Please, don't leave words unsaid, no matter what. If you can speak up before deathbed days - PLEASE DO IT.

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.
