Nic dyed my hair the other night and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Anyways, I remembered this because I was absolutely listening to Songs from the Big Chair when I realized I had never been a man in the way that manhood is socially constructed under patriarchy. Thank you, Tears for Fears.
My wife took a candid of me reading while Persephone was in my lap and 😭😭😭
Have you ever had a four month stretch that felt like a decade? I am exhausted.
"But what if i-frames were real," I say as I take the world's longest bong rip.
Feeling myself more and more lately. Glad to have my confidence back.
I've still got it (and by it, I mean messy hair and a killer rack)
Getting caught up on RCBG, and we must protect Rupali from Nichole at all costs lmfao

As someone who has been on the verge of doing sex work so many times because of employment discrimination, the idea that trans women sex workers do sex work for the thrill of it and not because society refuses to give us any other options is so infuriatingly transmisogynistic.

This anti-gay screed (not Talia's) reads so much like the RU/RCP-USA position on homosexuality as a bourgeois decadence. Anyways, everybody should read Talia but also The LA Research Group's "Towards a Scientific Analysis of the Gay Question".
Folks, you really need to read this essay. It is, imo, Talia's most essential piece since her essay on third-sexing.
