you guys all know i'm in the panopticon too right? just because i'm in the tower doesn't mean i should be treated any differently. all of you can see me just as well as i can see you. my position is worse actually because you're all looking at me at once while i can only point the spotlight at one of you at a time. have some compassion. we're all in the panopticon here. we're all in the same boat

The Pale from Disco Elysium is one of the most terrifying cosmic horror concepts I've ever read honestly, I love it.

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

to everyone who has been talked out of testosterone HRT because it will make you "scary": no it will not. testosterone isn't "scary". masculinization isn't "scary". being masculine or a man isn't "scary". it's just another way to be a person. testosterone HRT is a good thing. it helps many people. if you want to take it, take it. don't let anyone else tell you not to because it "scares" them. it's not happening to them. their fears don't matter to you. it's happening to you. it's your choice.

keep a trans guy warm and fed

it's rough at the moment and we could use some help getting food and paying bills while we're trying to put money aside for our big move.

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

happy pride to you if you use a label like transsexual or transvestite primarily or as your only identity. these terms are awesome- they were 2 of the earliest terms coined for our community and they have a long history of still being used. many older trans people use these terms as their only identities. the usage of transgender was popularized heavily in the 1990's. i identify as a transsexual person, not a transgender one. i'm also a transvestite at times depending on my presentation. that is why my "trans" means. shoutout to you if you're in this umbrella with me, happy pride other transsexuals and transvestites!

here is a zine i've written about identifying as transsexual! it's free when you follow this link! (:
