song of the day!!

Released as a single in May of 1967 and then again on the album "Something Else by the Kinks" in the same year!! It was the bands first single available in true stereo and was ranked 14 on The Rolling Stone's (The magazine) 500 Greatest Songs of all time list!!! In 1967, it was number 2 on the UK's charts and in the top 10 of Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe but failed to chart at all in America!!

Album #97: “Something Else by the Kinks” by the Kinks (1967)

yeah, it’s another Kinks record.

this one didn’t do much for me to be honest. 

though, in keeping with what i said in my last Kinks review about Kinks records not selling well, this was apparently Kinks lowest charting album at the time, which seems pretty wild!

[terra-feminarum]

When I took my first steps towards detransition, I never would've imagined other women could accept me as one of their own again. I used to pass a man very well, even to the extent other trans people sometimes were surprised I'm trans.

It has taken many years, and I've had to build a lot of courage, but if I dare to act like I belong, other women are welcoming. And it's not like I look how a woman is expected to look like. My voice is still deep, I have severe hair loss, I don't have breasts.

But it seems like a lot of people can recognize my femaleness, no matter how unusual I look. Not everybody, but enough. I've never made any serious attempt to "pass" as a female, because I feel like I'm done with performing gender roles, and so I do what is comfortable and for me that means looking "manly". My face and body have changed but I've never wanted to rely on wearing "women's clothes" or make-up. Health professionals have asked me several times if I'd want a wig but I don't. Many people recognize me as a woman despite all this.

I wanted to share this because a lot of detrans peer support is from those who are newly detransitioned. It takes time for your body to do it's thing, several years rather than months. If other women can recognize a woman like me as one of their own, I believe most detrans women can hope the same.

I've realized I don't have to look like I never went through medical transition. I did. That's a thing some women go through. The great thing about detransition is that I've been able to stop pretending my past doesn't exist. All parts of my history are part of me. No more deadnames, no more hiding, no more trying to pass, no more secrets.

Listening to this on repeat because I'm horribly sad.

T4T detrans kink not from transphobic trauma but from the longing of feeling desirable when you used to be a girl, when cis guys would want you. when you had long hair and hardly any body hair and straight boys flirted with you.

but you were trans. you felt awkward in that mold of girl and boy. you were probably gay too, and you liked these boys. but not in the same way they liked you, not the same way other girls around you liked boys. and you missed out on a lot of fun experiences growing up because of this

and now you’re on T. and that’s amazing. and maybe cis gay guys are even into you, and that’s cool. but they just… don’t really get you. and you don’t really get them. sometimes you kinda wish you could be that young girl again, and have the guys you’re interested in wanting your attention and putting in the work to have you as their girlfriend. you used to have that, but you missed out on those opportunities

and let’s say you try to hook up with straight guys. the problem is. not that many are gonna be into you, you’re too hairy, too many, voice too deep, and even if they are okay with that they just wanna fetishize your trans body. they’re not seeing you how you want to be seen. you want to be GIRL. you want to be feminine again and wanted

but with a trans guy? happily seeing you as a girl? seeing right through you, loving those curves and your soft skin and recognizing the girl underneath your transition? he understands and he gets it. and you see HIM how he needs to be seen. as the young man going after girls like he never got to when he was young before his transition. because cis girls just don’t get it. but you get it.

so i know this guy and he's very cute,, and i kinda wanna forcefem him, but don't know where to start 🥺🥺

Awwww that’s wonderful!!!

Well one of my favourite techniques is by allowing the target plausible deniability for dressing up

Maybe do a bet and the loser has to wear this dress Or maybe make it real ambiguous and reveal the dress part later

Or maybe make a bigger social event where everyone dresses so cutely so you might as well join in

Be kind, be accepting and patient, love every single step “he” takes and be very vocal about your encouragements

Truly love bomb “him”, make “him” associate feminity with happiness (if that association isn’t there already), make every step made “wonderful and lovely and you’re doing so great and I’m so so proud of you and I just want to gobble you up and and and” don’t give “him” any time to doubt

“He” is adorable and you’re so so so glad “he” is letting you do “his” nails, you know this color would fit so so well, and regardless of how well painted the nails are, they do add so much and make “him” look so good, and we should really try purple next!

That’s another crucial step, once you make progress don’t let it go

You paint his nails? Wonderful! If they get chipped and “he” asks how to remove it als to it for “him and instantly apply a new color

“He” let you do some basic makeup? Make “him” feels so so pretty and set a time next week when we can try the different mascara! And maybe even dress up a little to match the make up!

“He” puts on a skirt for you? Well it’s gorgeous it fits so so well it’s really “his” color! And maybe just take it with you? And if not let’s go clothes shopping next week! I know this lovely second hand store where we can get you so many beautiful clothes for cheap! It’d be a shame if you didn’t own at least one skirt yourself!

And, I kind of forgot what I was saying there! Just get “him” to agree to one minor point, make “him” feel so so loved for it, and always set up the next point, which can be either more of the same or an escalation, but never give her time to doubt, herself always pin down a “next-time” for her to look forward to, and always make her feel so so loved for showing up every time!

People aren’t nearly vocal enough about how they feel towards those closest to them! Be the exception!

ok themed tummy prompts: sleepy😴🛌

Your character finds themself feeling hungry late at night. It's just about their bedtime, and they have a choice to make: stay up a little longer to eat something, or go to bed with their belly empty and rumbling.

For whatever reason, your character's belly isn't feeling good. They're tired and miserable, and all they want to do is curl up in bed and sleep it off. Are they able to?

Your character ate far too much and is still feeling uncomfortably stuffed by the time they get to bed. As they tuck themself in, they find themself struggling to get comfortable with their taut, achy tummy.

After a huge dinner, your character is desperate to get out of their now-too-tight clothes and into their comfortable pajamas.

Your character wakes up absolutely ravenous in the middle of the night and decides to creep off to the kitchen for a big midnight snack.

Maybe they've eaten too much or maybe they're just sick, but your character's upset stomach is giving them weird dreams.
