Some people on Mastodon discovered my horror movie poster generator and it makes me so happy they’re enjoying my odd humor bot. http://purviance.com/horrorinator/

Witches.Town folks: Before you leave/the site shuts down, please remember to go to Settings > Data Export. You can grab lists of the people you're following, blocking, and muting, and request an archive of your toots.
(You can currently import your follow/block/mute lists to another account, but you can't upload your toot archive. But at least you'll /have/ them.)

I still need 15 people to donate $10 in order for me to pay rent. I don't have any other way of getting money, i tried donating plasma but my veins are to small from dehydration I've been applying all over but no one wants to hire me and I'm so scared of being homeless. I don't live in a good city and being trans, gay, autistic, & AFAB is only gonna make it worse on me. Please if you can do anything even just $5 or boosting the post, anything helps.

#transdayofvisibility fun fact: no matter where on the gender spectrum you are, no matter what you’re currently going through, it’s important to remember that boxer briefs are, bar none, the superior underwear format and it should be cool for anyone to wear them

Day of Trans Day of Visibility Day (Thoughts)
if people express anger about TDOV, it's probably anger that this world/society makes it unsafe for people to be the gender they feel. it's definitely what makes me angry! it's *not* anger at you for not feeling safe to speak up. I am angry at the boot that is crushing you, not at you for being crushed. it's okay. you don't have to be visible to us to be valid. you don't have to be 100% anything to be valid. <3
Day of Trans Day of Visibility Day (Thoughts)
basically, if you're wondering if you qualify, YOU PROBABLY DO. if you didn't, you wouldn't *wonder*! if the idea of anybody being *certain* that the gender they were assigned at birth was the *correct* one kind of boggles your brain, you qualify! if you haven't told anybody but a few of your closest friends (or nobody at all) and you still don't feel safe/comfortable telling, you don't have to! it's still your day!
Day of Trans Day of Visibility Day (Thoughts)
part of the problem is that there are BOTH degrees of transness AND degrees of closetedness, and so it can be difficult for one to feel that one is "far enough" along either of those sliders to "qualify." these are further complicated by matters of safety, needing-to-make-a-living-ness, and jumping through the many burning hoops of Medical Gatekeeping.

Considering my previous toot about English-American translations went absolutely woolly, here's some more:
British: "I hear what you say"
American: "You're wrong, shut up"
British: "With the greatest respect..."
American: "You're a fucking idiot"
British: "That's a very brave proposal"
American: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING YOU LUNATIC"
British: "I would suggest..."
American: "You will do this or be sanctioned"

I view TDoV as less "make yourself visible" and more "a day to remind people that we do, in fact, exist, whether we are out or not"
Trans Day Of Visibility Day
in case I was invisible to you, I'm--genderweird. IT'S GODDAMN COMPLICATED OKAY. but I'm pretty sure I qualify, despite my general attitude towards genger being best summed up as "no thank you." AND YES IT'S GENGER NOT GENDER BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW SHUT UP I'M DRINKING COFFEE

tdov // transgender day of visibility
let me be visible to you like this, by sharing that we have always been here. our forebearers span humanity across all its history: we have been rulers and priests, mystics and negotiators; everywhere we have been everything, dauntless against eons of genocide. every breath we take honors those who came before, and those who will come after. you do not need to be visible to the cis; you are already visible to yourself. you are triumph cast in flesh ❤️

Now that I can "pass" and I can opt out of this double-edged holiday, there's a sense of obligation to make myself visible as a show of solidarity to my trans siblings, no matter where they fall in the continuum that is gender. Those who don't blend into the background, those who feel too afraid to even present as their true selves, need to be celebrated on this and every day, because it's so, so hard to be there.
You're beautiful and strong and brave, and I love you. I hope today is good.

Important Warning: All transgender people are advised that their invisibility spells, invisibility cloaks, etc. might fail intermittently today due to calendarial interference. Be extra careful if you're criming or need some time alone.
Stay safe out there!
X-files, Scully shooting things
I always loved that dichotomy, that Mulder was the sensitive curious "no but let's hear this out" person, and Scully was the "nope this is bullshit I'ma shoot it now" person.
