Who is the first autistic character you really identified with?
Beautiful inspirational enriching time had at Trans Pride Cork! Respect and solidarity to all in attendance and digital flowers to the organisers and speakers!
Why Don't Fascists Eat Vegetables? A brand new Leftist Cooks video essay. Premiere in 3 hours (6pm Irish Time Sunday 28th June)
New video tomorrow. It's been a while, I hope you can all make it.
People asking Sarah how she's coping with my transition don't quite get what she saw in me.
Many are saying there's no *particular* reason the secret society of evil oligarchs and policy-makers chose Ireland for their next meetup to plan the destruction of the world but I'd say the *general* reason is that spoiling those sorts of people is literally our primary industry.
I'm a trans woman, and I look like a trans woman, and I'm beautiful. Pass it on.
This is how you greenscreen, friends. The more creases the better.
Yeah I guess this is the really dramatic difference
This is very interesting conceptually. The "yeah we know, crack your stupid egg already" timeline vs the "wait, who is a what now?" timeline.
It's nice to be at the stage of transition (and lucky enough) where I wake up looking like what I look like (at least sometimes). For a while there I was having to work pretty hard each day to look like what I look like (to varying results). Anyway this is what I look like.
Is there a word for being so embedded in liberal normativity that despite the hideously illiberal things you do and say you still insist you simply must be one of the liberal ones, what with you speaking English and being the main character and all.
What I'm saying is I like mom jeans.
We did it. Thanks to an incredible community, a bizarre career, some amazing family and friends and, by our count, at least three miracles. We are in our forever home in Cork and we couldn't be happier. Let's hang out some time.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility, on which we are also celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary.
Autistic Burnout means I'm giving Kuleshov vibes.
Even being generous, this "fact-checking" response from the NYT leaves a bunch of unanswered questions. Questions that might be addressed by... y'know... journalism? Clip of the AMA statement:
In the last two weeks Al Jazeera's reporting has somehow remained relatively neutral and objective, and yet has 50% more sass.
It's our first Mother's Day as mothers together. And basically we're both completely wrecked.
But here in Ireland our leader assures us that this is what hospitality looks like.
For me, one of them has to be this moment after the window closes when the old lady says "aww"
Today I really felt, so to speak, "transitioned". I don't know that there will be or even could be some absolute end point to a transition journey. No doubt there will be plenty more change ahead. But, with no makeup on, just wearing whatever, I looked in the mirror and I saw her.
I think this is turning out to be one of our best essays
