P.S sorry guys, over the past week, with all the overtime, courses, and endless bureaucratic hurdles, I’ve been completely drained of energy, strength, and deadinside at all =_= P.S 2 that's my fav man :333333

Let's talk about transandrophobia. And by that I mean let me monologue about my findings browsing the tag and checking related blogs.

For context, most of my (second hand) interactions with it are from additions to the posts of transfeminists where random people antagonize them. Also from knowledge about how a certain user who helped popularize the term and gets referenced on posts about it (and other adjacent pawns) just happens to be a piledriver for callouts that just happen to target trans women. So you will excuse me for being biased and not going into this with a naive mindset.

And I will say that I've engaged with this in significantly more good faith than it deserves. My hope was that perhaps most people using the term were doing it out of ignorance and not malicious intent. I haven't really "counted" or done any actual note taking for this, it's more of a general observation that coalesced over a few days after I did all that digging so numbers are rough estimates and not accurate numbers. I checked about 50 pages on both "latest" and "top" on the tag, aswell as checking the recommended blogs.

Ignoring certain users who use the tag to highlight how absurd the mere concept of it is, since it's just mainly one woman having fun(?) cluttering (neutral) the tag and a few others mocking posts about it; we can roughly put the people who talk about transandrophobia in 3 groups. There is potential for overlap and I reiterate, my good faith is going to skew this toward a more positive vision than reality.

The first group are mostly trans men and a few trans women who would define transandrophobia as transphobia targeted at trans men, which is not at all what the term means nor what its history or actual use is. This group was around 30-40% of the posts, but one has to keep in mind that this was from going over the posts with the tag on their blogs. Posts that would talk about their experiences being the targets of transphobia and calling it transandrophobia.

Not to sound condescending, but getting treated differently to your cis peers (before coming out OR even knowing you are trans), pushback against your transition and toward the closet, bureaucratic hurdles and general hostility to being "the other" is not a transmasc exclusive thing and it's in fact "just" transphobia. Even the supposedly unique to trans men experience of having issues with reproductive health... also happens to trans women, it's the general transphobia of medical professionals. It manifests in different ways, that's it.

Most of the transmascs on this group seem to be under the impression that transandrophobia is an analogous term to transmisogyny that simply describes the targeted transphobia to transmascs and transfems respectively. I understand their posts and it was painful to read many of them, but ultimately what they describe is called transphobia. Most of the (few) transfems on this group were making additions in defense/support of trans men on those same previous posts.

That's as good as it gets though. I really hope the 30-40% estimate is real because the alternative is grim, and as a disclaimer I have (over time) blocked a massive amount of those users who go on posts about transmisogyny to start fights. Those hostile users are very likely to use the tag and be part of the second or third groups, which means that accounting for all the people I've blocked the first group percentage is likely to be <30%.

The second group are cryptoterfs. Or alternatively, people with ideas so bioessentialist that they are indistinguishable from cryptoterfs. I have found only two blogs that were openly "gc" and straight up interacting with open terfs, but many of them had their rethoric and semirelated posts all over and sometimes even the recommended blogs would give it away. Possibly 10% of the tag users belong to this group.

The main giveaway beyond the previous ones seems to be a really transphobic view that what trans men experience as transphobia is really just misogyny. So when they experience that misogyny as trans men it's called transandrophobia. Don't ask me what logic this is, but I've seen it repeated on their blogs so whatever is going on in their brains they seem to commonly agree that trans men are "just" experiencing misogyny. The obvious implication always, always being that trans men are women, a very transphobic idea.

There were some users who are part of the previously mentioned overlap. They will have some posts that tangentially allude at that trans men = women idea but never quite reblog or interact or expand those transphobic views. But they would also be part of the third group.

The third group are transmisogynists. No other way to put it. And I don't mean it in the casual way, we are all kind of transmisogynistic due to society and that's it; I mean it in the openly in opposition to transfeminists and actively spreading hateful and harmful rethoric kind of way. More than half the users of the tag are part of this group.

It's a key difference but a very telling one; where the first group talked about their experiences and how they are affected by transphobia (incorrectly labeling it) the third group engages in reactionary behaviors, always blaming/harassing/critizicing transfeminists posts. It's a genuinely weird feeling to see a post you agree with, along the lines of "men benefit from patriachy" and the "critique" from these users being "how dare these [insert misgendering term] insinuate that trans men are oppressing them".

Reading anything in bad faith, calls for "unity" while at the same reblogging from and interacting with known callout spearheads, honestly shocking hostility to trans women all over their posts and a general very open opposition to any transfeminist theory. Like I was genuinely speechless at some of the posts.

Literally calling random trans women transphobic. Screenshots without context to make it seem like the OP is saying the literal opposite of what she was saying. Congratulatory posts about getting people banned. Straight up callouts.

And I was hoping that the first group would be the majority, with a few bad apples and the expected bad actors.

My conclusion is very simple. Stop using the term transandrophobia. It has no good faith uses, what trans men experience is transphobia since misandry is not a real structural force and misogyny is. Most of its users are hostile to and a danger to trans women in this website, and somehow terf rethoric is generally accepted by them.

Transandrophobia doesn't exist.

Assuming that you still work for the government, I hope you and your techs and all the lab people aren’t having to deal with mass firings (or hopefully/ideally any firings)!! (I just reread the lizard story and it’s very good)

No mass firings! But we have a lot of techs retiring in the next three months, and an unrelated mass exodus of engineers. My mentor is leaving, and his mentor left two months ago, and my work buddy left last week and it’s getting a little sparse down here. Our site’s issue is that its bureaucratic hurdles to hiring force low level engineers to take on a lot more responsibility than normal, which is great in the sense that it’s fun and it provides stellar resumes + skill growth, but it’s terrible in the sense that the site has no ability to retain the talent it creates. They’re not able to keep up with pay for the skills they give. They train people to be valuable, then lose them to fields that pay them what they’re worth.

My mentor got his start a year in when his first mentor left, and they made him a lab lead as a level 1. I’m two years in and it’s looking like my turn to be the Child Emperor. I’m scared and excited and nervous and honestly, very lonely. Everyone that taught me is gone. I am the expert now and I don’t feel quite ready.

Wish me luck?

Your tags on the 'hormones' post are illuminating! I can only imagine how hard it is to keep desperate, entitled people from hurting themselves when their need is so high for help but their finances (or reluctance to trust Big Medicine) relegate them to seeking that help from supplements. It's kind of how I feel about pet products: I was the lead on customer care for a Big Brand for like 4 years and I'm scarred for life. All that to say, your viewpoint on it is one I tend to look for when I see those essential oils/vitamin/fad supplements posts come around so thanks for sharing!

Yeah, even when they can be really self-righteous and weird about it, it's hard to not still think of people deep in the alternative medicine bog as victims. Despite largely being a monetary grift that at best does very little and at worst poisons you, miracle supplements are still an accessible grift to most people. In America particularly where healthcare is hidden behind not just financial but often also bureaucratic barriers, it's easy to lose faith in the system and turn to something that promises to fix what ails you and all you have to do is drive to the crunchy grocery store once a month and pay them $50.

Of course, the people refusing to regulate dietary supplements are the exact same ones refusing to do anything about the medical insurance industry, cashing out on both ends of the problem. It takes complete advantage of how many hurdles you have to go through by design, and that doesn't even touch on the shaky faith many minorities have in particular surrounding medicine for completely different systematic and legislative failures. Historic trauma (from James Sims' experiments, to Tuskegee, to Henrietta Lacks, and everything in between) combined with an enduring and overwhelming dismissal by doctors regarding symptoms has sown mistrust in pharmaceutical medicine among many black americans, leaving their communities particularly vulnerable to miracle cure grifts (irish sea moss is a big one right now). The proliferation of wellness MLMs among church congregations also helps to easily seed these beliefs in many minority communities, where community pressure is high and language/economic barriers make researching the claims a hurdle itself.

We often think of gaunt white women with birkenstocks and an ominous rictus as who mostly falls into the alternative wellness pit but that's honestly because they're usually the ones selling it on social media. Their audience, the ones who came to me showing me their tiktoks and asking if I sold this miracle pill, were largely minorities over 50 years old, usually women. The people who slip through the medical cracks the most.

And like... it's not going to change unless the process of getting proper healthcare stops being the arcane fucking ritual it's become, and education for doctors of all economic classes becomes more accessible. And unfortunately, as I post this on Jan 21 2025, I know it will only get worse before it gets better.

Dave Jamieson at HuffPost:

The Trump administration said Friday that it is ending collective bargaining at the Transportation Security Administration, effectively revoking union protections for thousands of airport security officers. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security claimed the move would “safeguard our transportation systems and keep Americans safe.” “Eliminating collective bargaining removes bureaucratic hurdles that will strengthen workforce agility [and] enhance productivity and resiliency, while also jumpstarting innovation,” the agency said. Workers at TSA, which Congress created in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, do not enjoy the same union rights as employees at most other federal agencies. Bargaining rights can essentially be extended or rescinded at the will of the administrator. Those rights were introduced at TSA by former President Barack Obama and strengthened under former President Joe Biden. But now they are being tossed aside by Trump.

HuffPost reported in December that Trump was likely to crack down on collective bargaining at TSA if he won the presidential election, and that he may look to crush unions at other agencies in the name of “national security.”

Faux “working class” champion Trump ends collective bargaining at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), weakening union protections for TSA workers.

Elon Musk is leading Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), an advisory body tasked with slashing federal jobs and spending to save taxpayer money. Despite its ambitious goals, Doge faces legal hurdles, accusations of conflicts of interest, and fears of bureaucratic damage.

Musk, an unpaid special government employee, defends the initiative, claiming it will end "wasteful spending" and reduce the $36tn national debt. Critics argue Doge targets agencies ideologically opposed to Trump’s agenda, while supporters praise its outsider approach for cutting through red tape. From axing "woke" policies to offering federal buyouts, Doge’s actions remain controversial and transformative.

As the Nightingale Calls

SFW fluff - 612 words

The first of many tender musings

It’s quiet. The dingy room holds a jarring tranquility, lowering inhibitions, washing away the chaos of the day.

His tongue darts out over dusky pink lips to collect the last of tonight’s ration. Pound cake. 

Vanilla soaked crumbs are cleared from the seam of his mouth and licked away from the jagged line cleaved from nose to neck.

A flash of anger zaps across your visage. It only lasts a moment - his opponent has already paid his price, resting deeply. Communing with roots and fragrant earth. 

Raising a scarred hand to the corner of your mouth, he swipes away a smear of rosy jam. He suckles at the skin of his thumb, savouring the mellow tartness, eyes still glued to your lips.

He raises his gaze to meet yours. The same cogs are turning, the same thoughts being mulled over in your own brain.

Should you give in to the insistent tug?

The well-established, scarcely-acknowledged tether between yourselves?

Certainly not. It’s ill-advised, a dangerous game rife with bureaucratic hurdles and the looming threat of eternal separation.

Will you do it anyway?

The answer lies somewhere just below the surface. You are drawn to chase it, to dig calloused fingers into the damaged terrain and nick yourself on colluvial shards in pursuit of the warm loam below. To have your wounds licked clean by your Herculean comrade.

Your breaths are shallow, catching on a sharp, long-held craving. The scene lulls on, wordless.

He leans in.

You meet him in the middle, eyes fluttering shut, lips brushing softly, heads spinning in tandem. 

Over and over, chapped lips unite, tongues lick and flick. 

Sugary confection and tobacco. 

The moment drips, saccharine, pasted by sticky sweetness onto the surface of your mind - it’s placed in a special spot reserved for the most treasured relics. 

It wafts its way through you, filling hollows you’ve long kept barren. It yellows the walls - not in a shade of sickly flax, no. It’s sunny and safe and warm. 

You share the same breath, the same need, the same profound emotions - it’s nearly overwhelming.

*Nearly* - but it’s just right. A resounding equilibrium come to fruition.

It makes you shiver, stuttering exhalations and soft sighs proclaiming feelings unspoken.

You don’t part for lack of want or gratification, but you do need to breathe at some point.

Camouflaged lids open. He blinks slowly back at you in a shade of soft amber, gaze cutting right through the fog, radiant beacons in a sea of blotchy noir.

Again, you sense the same thoughts racing through his mind - it’s like peering into a looking glass. You’re used to constant risks and uncertainties - it’s a fickle life, but tonight? You have no doubts. 

You can feel it in the feather-light graze of his broad hands, glean it from the sprawling wingspan that enfolds you, drawing you impossibly close. 

The longing to flee an albatrossean curse, deserting the inky eye masks, the storms, the psychological burdens. 

You’d like to slip the plumage and slither between battered ribs, finding rest under a comfortable thrum, steady and strong.

A nightingale calls out in the dark. It’s a welcome accompaniment to a tender, glowing moment, but it barely breaches the fringes of your mind. 

Though tomorrow will be another story, nothing beyond this room is more pressing than the languid sequence playing out, the gentle knock of his forehead on yours, the soft glow of a tender revelation. 

You bask in it, growing pliant, baring your throat to beckon gnashing teeth over a delicate pulse point.

You aren’t afraid - they won’t hurt. Blunted solely for you, worn down by shared time, trust, and trauma.

He leans in again. 

You will.

New images show Brazil’s uncontacted people are thriving – but with success comes a new threat

Exclusive: under the government’s hands-off policy isolated community numbers are growing in Indigenous territories, as is the risk of ‘catastrophic’ contact

In one of Brazil’s most deforested Amazonian states, Rondônia, an isolated community is thriving. They are experts at hunting with long bows and at protecting their land from unwanted visitors with traps of hidden hardwood spikes so sturdy they can take out a tractor tyre. These spikes that hobbled a vehicle driven by a team from Brazil’s National Indigenous Peoples Foundation (Funai) earlier this year – and ended its mission in the Massaco Indigenous territory.

No one knows what they call themselves, the Massaco is the name given to them after the river that runs through their domain near Brazil’s border with Bolivia. The Massaco are one of the 28 isolated communities confirmed to be in Brazil. Another 85 have been reported but have not yet been confirmed through the rigorous evidence-gathering and bureaucratic hurdles required.

The spikes have been found with increasing frequency and ever closer to the base from which Funai veteran Altair Algayer oversees the protection of this 421,000-hectare (1.04m-acre) territory. They would seem to send a message: stay out.

It was Algayer who placed cameras in the rainforest in an attempt to better quantify the population without risking contact. The images, taken in 2019 and 2024, and published for the first time by the Guardian and the Brazilian newspaper O Globo, gave Algayer his first look at people he has been protecting for most of his career. It is also vital proof of the Massaco’s existence that will allow Funai to continue its work.

3b. Gege and Gojo's Answer to Conservatism: 'Changing the System from the Inside' Doesn't Work

Overall thesis for this project: Godzilla and Mothra create the cultural context of creatives using powerful monsters (or kaiju) to disrupt Japanese bureaucracy and society, usually to make some larger criticism.

Manga spoilers below!

More than anything, Gojo hates a conservative government. Gege argues that only a monster can destroy the (conservative) bureaucratic system; that destruction takes both immense power, and the resolve to wield it. Maki, Gojo, and Sukuna perform massacres against the system after having to overcome systemic hurdles before they achieve their goal. Maki was first killed by the patriarchal powers of the system. Sukuna's power was suppressed by the sloppy, but effective tactics of the Higher-Ups to keep his fingers separate. Gojo played by the system's rules and became a teacher, but was ultimately betrayed by the Higher-Ups after being sealed; they branded him as a traitor and tried to turn his students against him. Gojo fought for years as a teacher to change the system from the inside. He held onto the belief that he would be enough to change the system that hurt his friends in the past, but not even his power could effectively defeat the conservative powers without getting his hands dirty. With all his strength, Gojo was forced to make the hard decision to destroy the system, much like Maki. For Gege, a monster, or kaiju, uses their immense power to disrupt the rigid systems set by the conservative bureaucrats afraid of change.

When I think of Gojo, I think of the students he fought to protect and nurture. Yuta was a cursed child who the Higher-Ups and Geto wanted to kill. Hakari was an outcast unable to use normal cursed techniques like anyone else. Maki was an estranged Zenin without cursed energy or a technique. Megumi was an abandoned child with no one but the Zenin to go to. Yuji was another kid with nowhere to go, and was constantly targeted by the Higher-Ups.

Gojo protected all of the previously mentioned students while teaching them to defend themselves. He taught as a teacher with the sole purpose of his students some day surpassing him and changing the system. His hope for his students to surpass him could beread as an indication of Gojo seeing his own shortcomings as an effective apparatus for change from within the system. Here, "the system" means jujutsu society, and Japan at large.

Gojo tries and fails to change the system from the inside. He plays by the system's rules and hopes that with all his power, he can protect his students, but the Higher-Ups prove him wrong. Despite all the power he wields, he can't protect Yuji from the powers-that-be. Both Sukuna and the Higher-Ups manage to kill Yuji at least once.

Gojo stretches himself thin trying to fill in all the gaps that the Higher-Ups create, save as many lives as possible, while also swearing to change the system from the inside out. Maybe by raising a new generation that goes beyond the boundaries set by the Higher-Ups, Gojo thought he would finally change the world.

For the teacher that relies on his students to be the means in which they make a difference (be it to the system, or the world), the students become their greatest weakness. The Higher-Ups use the system to weaken his students, and ultimately Gojo as well. Imagine the difference someone like Hakari might have made in Shibuya if he hadn’t been discouraged from seeking an education? Gojo sending Yuta away could be read as his attempt to save his student from the bureaucrats’ meddling. Comparatively, Gojo hid that Yuji was alive from everyone to train him in secret, away from the eyes of the Higher-Ups; when Yuji did return, the Higher-Ups proved Gojo right by immediately trying to have Gakuganji’s students kill him again.

Gojo's fight was less about the force of his strength, but more so his ability to protect his students from the systems of power threatening their lives. That's the thing about Infinity: Gojo might be untouchable, but his students don't have that luxury. Even worse, what happens when the infallible teacher makes a mistake? The students have to step up and finally fly on their own. Yuta, Maki, Hakari, and Yuji's trusted with carrying on Gojo's fight, but only after he finally makes the tough decision to get rid of the Higher-Ups. For Gojo, killing the Higher-Ups, dismantling that conservative system, was a necessary step for his students to have their freedom.

Notes:

Did not know this would be split into two(?) parts but okay lol. I needed to set some groundwork for my personal reading of Gojo because I don't see anyone talking about Gojo like I have in this post. No one ever focuses on his role as a teacher being the most important aspect of his character, so I felt that really needed it's own space first and foremost. Next part will be more about the kaiju reading and Gojo's anti-bureaucracy. I'm really interested in looking into Japan's teachers' education movements against the ministry of education. I feel like Gojo would be a valuable comparison at the very least.

Hope you guys enjoy this one

Feet up on the coffee table, fresh Colombian coffee in my hand—hot, dark, alive. I’ve got this thing now where I’ll try all the flavors. Keeps it interesting. Keeps the mind from settling too long on one scar. It’s morning, I think. Or some hour that pretends it’s new. But my thoughts, they’re malingering, dragging their feet like drunks outside a pub they don’t want to leave.

I was born a bastard in '65. The good old days, people say. But I don’t remember anyone saying that back then. Eighteen-year-old mother, scared and trying to be brave. An alcoholic father who murdered his best friend under my bedroom window. Two years old, I was. No recollection of the man except for the sound of fists and bottles breaking, and then silence. I suppose I was supposed to miss him. I don’t.

School was hell, though. Bullied all through it, the little sadists. Until I learned how to swing a punch at fifteen. Funny how fast they lose interest when they see you’ve got knuckles and know how to use them. But the damage was done by then, right? It always is.

Two friends gone, just like that. Murdered over a few quid. People talk about honor like it’s still for sale, but all I see are pennies on the ground and blood on the walls.

Mum got cancer in ’78. Her first one. It came back like a bad habit, creeping through her body, relentless. She fought, though. She always fought. Until she couldn’t anymore. 2008 was the end of her battles and the start of mine. Took me months to get back home. Flights, paperwork, the usual bureaucratic hurdles they throw at you when all you want is to bury your own mother.

The rest of the family—schizophrenia for two of the younger brothers. Another, my blood brother, found solace at the bottom of a bottle. He likes it there. Two stepbrothers doing fine, but none of us talk. It’s better that way. Too much history, not enough forgiveness to go around.

It was a different world back then. A hard, cruel place that didn’t make space for dreamers or cowards. You learned to fight, to scrape by, or you didn’t make it. Simple as that.

But now—now there’s her. She’s home. Just the thought of her makes me smile in ways I didn’t know I could. All is well in ohana, as they say. Family, in whatever shape it takes.

I take another sip of the coffee. It’s smooth, bitter, perfect. Like the past, but without the guilt.

Despite the bureaucratic and scientific hurdles, the sheer number of nasal vaccines now in clinical trials encourages Iwasaki and other scientists pursuing the needle-free route. They say it seems like only a matter of time before getting vaccinated will be as simple as a spritz up the nose.

[y-orozuya]

Re-read the first three Southern Reach books by Jeff Vandermeer for the first time in 10 years in preparation for reading Absolution and realized that I had retained only 10% of everything that had happened in Authority and Acceptance.

I was definitely rushing through those two books trying to get answers, and the outcome was getting a soak in the vibes with minimal retention of concrete details lol even though I've recommended those books -- especially Annihilation -- countless times since I first read them.

I appreciate Authority so much better this time around. The bureaucratic one-upmanship, the slow wading through confusing tidbits that never cohere into a full picture, the molasses-like build up of dread as Control hurdles unknowingly towards some form of destruction. It's a book that knows exactly what effect it wants to achieve and accomplishes it perfectly. Also the effect is much better appreciated on a re-read when you know more than Control and can spot the signs.

Amazing to go back to a series 10 years later and find it still has the power to rearrange my brain. Working through Absolution now and will probably have to lie down for a few days afterwards in a catatonic fugue to process it

Ten million Americans lost Medicaid coverage as states decide who'll continue to receive benefits; more than 70% lost coverage because of bureaucratic hurdles, not because they were ineligible. More than half that lost benefits are likely people of color.
