this is hardly a surprise in my case

mine is real embarassing, but hey, it was 1990, and I was a kid (also, i had such a cis boys taste in music!)

no flattering photo angle because sitting up sucks right now, but EEEEE my preorder is here!

Lazy OC

evidence

i feel like i channel my lesbian standup comic pretty well here

ive lived several places, but I grew up at the intersection of the Mississippi and missouri rivers in the st louis area, with the latter forever closer to my heart. itll always be home. a home i can never really return to. people sneer when they hear youre from stl, but theres beauty there.

Substack surveyed it's users about AI. this screencap is all you need to know on.substack.com/p/the-substa... I'm actually amazed how cleanly it comes out to "tech managers versus everyone else"

This shouldn't surprise anyone, really, but the Atlantic has gone full TERF

ok, ill play too. turns out estradiol is better than AI. these are about seven years apart.

somehow this wild quiz got me into my childhood headcanon

Its trans day of visibility. im all the way out. theyre trying to erase us from public view. But trans people have been around as long as humans have. they can only erase us by erasing themselves. Here, look at how much i can femme up now.

My preorder came in today, here we go

i think i give a bit lof librarian now

i will say that in the talk about generative AI we really are missing big dangers about it that become really obvious upon using prompt lookup stuff. existing technology can find trans faces at scale

I actually thought this was kind of a crappy split when i was doing it

todays sky selfie

I saw this thing around the same time inread through sandman the first time. Both are now complex and difficult to parse memories. But theyre also the first times i saw femme afab people i could relate to

More gay shit. Im glad this one got ressurected when russian doll took off

Good old 80s farce Pedro. Another movie I will love forever

I know shinkai is too accessible for weebs and too japanese for american audiences, but i love him

I think abkut this thing on the regular still. It had no goddamn business being marketed as a cute date movie and not a triggery exploration of abuse and alcoholism, but it was so powerful

Dont know if i could recommend this thing today, really, but its been at top of mind lately

Wolf Children made me cry pretty good.

And just for fun, love amd leashes was DELIGHTFUL
