Existential Nihilism Squad™

You are allowed to exist alone in public btw. You're allowed to go to the movies alone and go out to eat alone and hang out in a park alone and go for a walk alone and whatever else. It isn't weird or creepy, it doesn't make you lonely or a loser or whatever. You are allowed to just exist as yourself.

IFPA will still allow transgender women to participate in women’s pinball tournaments. They also went out of their way to explicitly state their support for transgender people!

Fuck yeah pinball community

getting older can be so amazing? you get more familiar with yourself. learn tips & tricks for troubleshooting your own brain. trial & error helps you build routines that minimize discomfort, maximize reward. your preferences/interests don't get set in stone, but you do find out which ones are going to stay with you in the long-term, and which ones are fun but transient joys to appreciate in the moment.

you learn that the world is so much more complex than you were taught, and that that's okay, and that there's an endless supply of things you can learn or watch or experience or think about if you want to. if you're lucky, you loosen up, stop putting so much pressure on yourself. if you're lucky, you learn to recognize that negative inner voice, and whack it with a baseball bat until it hushes up. if you're lucky, you learn to treat yourself gently, not because you are fragile but because you are worthy of gentleness. (i hope you are lucky.)

and some things will change. some things will get better. some things will get good. and maybe you start to recover from the dehumanizing stress of childhood/education. maybe you learn the power of your own autonomy. maybe you learn how to walk away from bad situations (which is a superpower even if you don't realize it yet). and you get to choose your own clothes. and your own food. and which relationships to pursue! and what you do with your free time. and with your life (but don't worry you get to choose that gradually). and that's crazy! and sometimes scary. and extraordinarily, indescribably precious.

A teaser wip of what’s to come because of a certain weird twist of fate (read: favorable pulls from a joke threat) made me obligated to go public. It’ll drop in full completed at some point idk, I will not go into detail until then.

I think it's mean how some people talk about fics on AO3.

'Oh you gotta wade through literal trash to find the good stuff'.

Were you not a beginner once? Did you not write crack fic or self indulgent things for your own entertainment?

Maybe don't speak that way about your fellow fic writers? Just because some fics aren't as polished as others, or involve fetishes and tropes you don't enjoy, or are not the style you want your fics to be doesn't mean they're trash.

It's a horrible thing to say and beginners are going to be discouraged from writing knowing that their fics might be considered trash because they're just starting out.

sometimes. i just have to remind myself that percy took annabeth to paris. like, canonically. he forgot their one-month anniversary. and took his girl to paris to make up for it. the standards are in elysium.

Some of you haven't been to the darkest depths of ao3 and it shows

Hazbin hotel is like... like when you were thirteen and you heard panic! at the disco and thought they were so real for telling it like it is but now you're thirty you listen to them again hoping for a little bit of nostalgia and it's like... yeah this was written by a 16 year old ex-mormon theater kid who just learned what vodka and bisexuality were two weeks ago and won't stop talking about it

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟

[sakrafka]

trans rights?

trans rights are human rights and I'll keep fighting for that truth

💅 one-sided radiostatic is canon now. I don't make the rules.

Vox is so #downbad for the Radio Demon it's almost not even funny 💋💋💋💋💋

begging people to realize that bigots also see transmascs as a threat to womanhood. When the language of recent executive orders talks about “protecting women and girls” they want to forcibly detransition transmascs to “cure the poor impressionable teenage girls of their delusions” and keep them from “mutilating and sterilizing themselves” just as much as they want to enact violence against trans women

(And when transmascs refuse to be detransitioned quietly, don’t think for one second violence isn’t done against us too)
