re: Body image stuff 

@pexl Yup. Projection is a thing.

Being enby is great because no matter someone else's sexuality, you're either hot to them or not

Instead of donating to a nonprofit charity that claims to be for something as nebulous and malleable as "LGBT rights," just find a trans person, *Any Trans Person*, and give them that money instead

@clipclopboom@snouts.online it's not. Almost passed out earlier from sun exposure. Massive headache, went away once I was in the shade

Ow. Okay, that explains a lot.
So, if all of us are in synchronicity over here it's great except for the massive overstimulation.
Fuck now I think I see why my perception of reality has been janky. If everyone is awake and working together there's just too much damn data to process.

Maybe multisys is an autistic brain's defense against blowing itself to pieces with input and output?

If you're a trans person, and you are worried that your body type isn't right or that you don't look like the cis people of your gender, remember:
We have all been lied to about what humans look like. We've all had the diversity of our species contorted and hidden away from us. We are all, cis and trans alike, forced to reconcile our own appearances with these lies. There are cis people who look just like you, who have the same insecurities about their appearances that you do, I promise.

@typhlosion totally valid. Actually developing to being able to front is usually a reaction to Trauma.

Usually. There's some outliers

Tech optimism is another way of saying, "I want to solve a problem, but only for very wealthy people."

@clipclopboom@snouts.online 1 Actually Yes. They do their thing in the High Energy Magic building.

2. This is why sorcerers are so dangerous.

@maxine ... also didn't realize you were also Sabby.

Hm. Yeah, Telegram me sometime. I think we can help

Witches: Practical, down to earth magic that moves like a knife thru water. Most of the heavy lifting is done with psychological tricks and manipulation. Don't fuck with stuff you don't understand yet, and don't go to the Bad.

Wizards: Techbros who can summon sex demons and warp spacetime. Common sense need not apply, if there's a big red lever that carries a sign marked "do not pull under Any contingency"...
A wizard will have pulled it before the paint is dry just to see what happens.

I manage to avoid most dysphoria.

Until I see a white boomer man in power.

Then I'm like 'Can I be like Any other Species, plz?'

@clipclopboom@snouts.online The audiobooks narrated by Stephen Briggs are Awesome, the ones narrated by nigel planer less so.

I've got a lotta witch friends. A lotta them could really use to read some Discworld.

Because Discworld is All Earth Mythology, just the monty python abridged version.
And there's a Ton of stuff in those books that works in the Real World.

re: alcohol, lewd, dysphoria 

@pexl I found myself freed in my gender expression when I realized that everyone I meet only gets a tiny slice of who I am.
