What it means to be Transgender 

We are but the sum of our experiences, and Trans folks share a number of experiences in kind.

• Trying to live in society as the wrong gender
• Dysphoria and the self-realization thereof
• Internal investigations that return proof of our "transness"
• Fear of transphobia that makes us question the security of even our closest bonds

Our responses to the adversity in our very identities has defined us. :heart_trans:

The adversity that surrounds us unites us. ✊

"Shit" "Post" 

I'm fourth-dimensionally non-binary. It only looks like I'm female in profile shots that don't capture the evolutionary history of self in the frame.

#transdayofvisibility Fun Fact: Trans people are sometimes thought of by cis folks as isolated anomalies, but as a matter of fact, we're practically everywhere! Workplaces, social events, community activism groups, inside your house, climbing up the stairs, right BEHIND YOU LOOK OUT

Politics, Speedrunning, Shitpost 

Trump speedran the new WR on National Election (US edition) any%:
* nonstandard inputs that made no sense but didn't violate game constraints.
* underflows to maximize rankings
* damage boosts off of enemy attacks
* i-frame exploitation
* state corruption through Facebook minigame
* looking at his Cabinet and backers, it's clearly tool-assisted.
* Mueller's investigation is the political verification on original hardware.

The Ongoing Saga 

It's always great fun when the HR rep suggests using the employee assistance program to sue the company insurance provider.

Even better, he said America sucks, the corporate insurance provider sucks, the parent company sucks for forcing us to use them, and he'd consider it a sign of great personal courage and strength if I went and found a new job to take care of my family, which is a fucking crime because I have a positive rep and he knows the business will suffer when I leave.

Allergies, man. allergies are the worst.

I don't even know what in specific I'm allergic to. I think it's just... *motions nonspecifically* spring.

Hooray, I got my laptop back! It works, even. Now... to migrate back over to it.

hot take: Masto should not focus on acquiring new users

it should focus on providing its users a safe, stable, reliable place to form a community, and allow users to join organically

trying to emulate other systems by incorporating their flaws is a terrible idea and guess against the whole ethos behind most people who came here

Happy Equinox, everybody! Spring is here, or Autumn, take your pick!

If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, please do not pick Autumn, terrible terrible things will happen to the Earth's axial tilt. Likewise if you're in the Southern, please do not pick Spring. Choose your seasons responsibly!

Ah, good, my computer – the lappy I sent in for a battery replacement – will be back to me tomorrow evening.

I missed it.

It turns out that the way to watch season three of Twin Peaks is at 1.5x speed. The dialogue sounds closer to a normal pace, the cuts and pacing are almost reasonable, and the dreamy music becomes just a bit more pop for some levity in between soul-crushing scenes.
