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.

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.
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. #photography #leica #hasselblad
@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.
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: #WhoRulesTheWorld on Netflix. Twenty-eight hours of will-they-won’t-they #wuxia 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.
