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.
Tech optimism is another way of saying, "I want to solve a problem, but only for very wealthy people."
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.
Witch shit
Tohri: I woke up today with that feeling that we usually only get when Keri's fronting.
Like, if the metaphorical Third Eye is the eye of the mind, This is like the inner ear of the mind. Other folks talk about Auras.
But we're messed up, we don't See auras, we Hear feel, and even Taste people's auras. I can pick up a bad day thru a Wall.
Well. Kerithe can, usually. I'm not used to getting the raw input from that part of the brain without an interpreter.
I learned about Rejection-Sensitive Dysphoria today, and I have never had a description of a condition fit me better. o_o
"Rejection sensitive dysphoria is an extreme emotional sensitivity and emotional pain triggered by the perception—not necessarily the reality—that a person has been rejected, teased, or criticized by important people in their life. RSD may also be triggered by a sense of failure, or falling short—failing to meet either their own high standards or others’ expectations. (c)
Do you people have any idea how many Big Trucks, Sweaty Dudes, literal Tons of dirt and hours of sun-drenched labor Pretty Flowers require?
Like... I was raised by Plants. I shouldn't be so surprised I ended up a weird hermaphrodite. The ethereal, vibrant gardens require someone who can be Gentle and nurturing, as well as brutal and aggressive.
Sometimes you have to chop through inch thick roots to plant a Begonia. And they make Glass look solid.

Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
