Currently scrolling through Tumblr as the surgeon leans over me. I am trusting you guys. No porn. Please.

A misplaced trust, to be sure. I hope it went well.

Well, well, well, what an unfortunate turn of events.

Not my intended next comic, but hope is needed, so I'm gonna try to provide that hope however I can.

This is not the end. Do not let it be the end.

We believe in you.

We'll stand together. 💕

Scary and stressful couple of days... it might be really difficult for awhile, but I know we're going to get through it ❤️

I couldn't have said it better myself.

As a 30 year old man who escaped the Alt-right pipeline, you're not going to be happy about the answer.

All I hear from leftists is how much they hate me for my immutable traits, how much they blame me for everything wrong with the world, how much they want me and everyone who looks like me dead.

Whereas Alt-right types would call me "brother" and welcome me into their ranks so long as I hated the right ways.

Do you understand the difference?

I'm an ally and support equality because I feel it's the morally correct choice to make, but holy fuck is it difficult to reconcile that with the fact that means fighting for a lot of people who see you as the scum of the earth.

Read this and then read it again and then read some fucking bell hooks because this is a legitimate problem on the left.

"To create loving men, we must love males. Loving maleness is different from praising and rewarding males for living up to sexist-defined notions of male identity. Caring about men because of what they do for us is not the same as loving males for simply being." - bell hooks, The Will to Change https://bellhooksbooks.com/product/the-will-to-change/

Okay but you're all wrong as a matter of observable fact.

I'm not saying anybody's personal experiences here are incorrect, but Trump did not earn any more votes in 2024 than he did in 2020. Meanwhile Harris got about 13 million less votes, spread just about evenly across all demographics with no particular bias towards white people or cis men.

Whatever understanding you have of the current state of politics in the United States, it needs to be able to explain the fact that Trump did not win any more support in the last 4 years. His supporters may have gotten more openly bigoted and fascist, but for every person who joined his ranks in the last 4 years a person left. Meanwhile, Harris lost even the meager faith of being better than Trump from about 1/6 of Democratic voters, and there was no particular demographic flavor to this abandonment.

This wasn't a turn right. There wasn't any demographic alignment shift. This was a turn to the nihilist among left leaning voters.

if a trans woman was stranded alone in a forest and she said she didnt like drag very much someone would emerge from a pile of deer pellets to tell her she needs to learn her history and doesnt she know drag is under attack?

she will be able to sustain herself for a few months off of meat procured this way

Rule 1 about being queer: You don't get to complain about how other people express being queer.

I don't know why this is so complicated for some people.

(yes I know OP phrased this in a way where the obvious response is to make some joke about eating my flesh but I don't care, rule 1 is rule 1, even if you make a joke about it)

“Why are so many trans girls into werewolves and robots and slime and monsters?”

Because society views us as monsters. And when you’re viewed that way you have two options.

The first, you can break yourself. You can take a knife and carve off all the corners, take sandpaper and smooth all your rough edges, you can take everything remotely variant about you and you can try and obliterate it in order to make yourself acceptable to people who do not know you and never will.

The second option is that you can say “okay, if I’m a monster I’m going to enjoy being a monster. I’m going to take those rough edges and rough them up some more. I’m going to take all my sharp corners and make them knife edged. I’m going to embrace how weird and broken and fucked up I am and I’m going to make it a part of me. I’m going to love, fight, live, and die as a freak, but I’m going to do it on my terms and no one else’s”

I’m never going to be cis. I’m never going to be straight. In fact I’d rather die than be either of those. So I’m going to take what I am and make it my power instead of my shame.

Never capitulate my friends. Resist and bite, be yourself forever. Sawing your edges off only makes you bleed, if someone loves you they'll love you and your edges. For every person that shuns you for it, there's someone covered in edges that loves you for it. I love you, edges and all. Please never hide them.

Wake up, Lan.

Every day is a reason to celebrate 🥂🥳

High level physics is so fucked up it's indistinguishable from epic level magic

My day job involves using crystals to create extra-special perfect light, then feed that light through a ritual array series of mirrors and lenses and another crystal which has special properties because we vibrate it just right with tamed lightning, which causes the extra-special light to be extra-special across a series of perfectly spaced different colors, which for Reasons makes a laser pulse so short that it shreds matter faster than the physical process of heat occurs.

And then on slow Friday afternoons I sometimes use that to create art in glass.

Prev, why are you always being awesome? Like, every time I see you, you are just doing it, again!

See, you know what the fun thing is?

You typed this up using crystals which were carved with light so extreme it can only exist in the vacuum of space, pure distilled essence of the most corrosive element in existence, so they could act as channels for tamed lightning operating clockwork more intricate than any human mind could picture.

I get to prod this stuff for my job and not gonna lie, that is in fact reall cool. But the magic is everywhere for those who look for it.

As someone who understands precisely how components make gates, gates represent logic, logic makes subsystems and routers, that results in machine code, which can be made from assembly or bytecode, which can be used to make higher order abstractions and languages to allow me to quickly slap together a bit of text to coordinate hundreds of submodules whose exact nature doesn't even need to be known to me, so my button presses can change some lights on and off in a way that makes me think I'm controlling an imaginary triangle in a flat world... This little slab in my hand is awesome!

I only play with the results of work like yours, but I love the strange abstract space that humans scattered across time and space have built together! 😊

Hah! See I feel the same way in reverse about all those machine code details you just named. That stuff is fascinating to me, but it also took a whole group of friends in a discord server two days to get me to properly understand how Turning heads works and how we determine Turing completeness. I can only play with the results of that work, but I love the strange clockwork nature of it all.

Oh, speaking of clockwork: mechanical devices bend my brain! I love the amazing work of mechanical engineers!

So many different fields to learn, full of so many amazing people! This is what fills the world with wonder for me!

I could stare at the Geneva drive for hours

Oh I forgot that I had a playlist!

Yeeeeesssssssssss!!!!!!!!

Some more...

Had a thought today

I’m so sorry, is there anything we can do to help?

[Sees this post, immediately followed by fan art of Marcille thirsting after Falin] I am beginning to think that this is not, in fact, the celibacy website, but I will need further data to be sure.

I guess Twitter really needed a middle-aged trans man on the timeline today. Happy to oblige.

This is extremely funny to me. Yes, I am Twitter OP and I see all y'all thirst tagging and assigning me Professor at Birth. 😅

i love this tweet so much i think about it weekly, i structure my life around it its so crazy how much one tweet changed the way i view neopronouns for the better
