we call statistical denoising algorithms "Artificial Intelligence" and handleless segways "Hoverboards." We have given up on the future.

we're gonna come up with a new way of burning coal that we're just gonna call "cold fusion" for funsies. and we're gonna start naming cities in atlanta shit like "mars colony 002."

"cities in atlanta" june you dumb sack of shit atlanta IS a city

And worst of all they'll make Atlanta a state

As a trans woman you can generally expect not to be believed about most things: The legal processes you've navigated, effects you've had from transition care, what you had for breakfast, and so on.

But there's one major exception, which is when you're clearly joking.

If you say something like "I'm going to forcefem Richard Nixon for his crimes", you will be subjected to a person who fully and entirely believes that:

And once they've caught you in your dastardly scheme, they will not relent at attempts to clarify

for some reason when i listen to american idiot i picture the lucky star dance, so i bring you faggot america friday

i wish there was a music player where you could flag songs as multi-parters or interludes, so that they always get paired together when you shuffle your music

in a similar vein, i really hate people who do the "what if megalodon still alive" or "what if theres a scary giant deep sea creature" because of how underexplored the deep sea is, and they never have a good answer for the most basic scrutiny beyond "we just dont know much about the deep" or quoting jeff goldblum "life finds a way" corny shit.

like how would a tropical megafauna so quickly evolve to survive deep seas, and in general how the fuck would predatory megafauna be able to keep a sustainable diet to remain that size? THINK

i think it mostly pisses me off because i know i love deep sea creatures than they do. i find the reality of deep sea life far more interesting than whatever "scared of the dark" deep sea fanfic they got going on

once you abandon your inner lovecraft, you realise that the fact there's life out there that exists independently of your perception and completely ignorant to your existence is actually not that scary.

doing this also it allows you to think about what could be out there that we havent seen yet, and no longer having your first thought be "is it out to get me?"

there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well

and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it

the researchers found that being online didnt make people more hostile, but that being online allowed already hostile people to dominate forum conversations, and the less aggressive people were much less likely to reply or engage, ending in just the aggressive people bickering at eachother

laios- "im alienation from manhood and from my body"

falin- "im womanhood thats simultaneously eroticized and condemned as monstrous"

THE TRANSFEM APPLICABILITY SISTERS

often, a work of fiction will present to you a character who is referred to as a man. while it is possible that this character is intended to be read as a man, it's worth noting that many writers employ a literary device known as "secret women." almost every story has at least one secret woman, and the adept reader will be able to identify which characters are actually intended to be women despite the gendered language surrounding them. failure to acknowledge secret women is a failure of reading comprehension, for which one should be sent to the stocks.

Reflection on Winter

Here, I will share some of my works along with my trivial writings.

As this is a format where long texts are interspersed with "Unrelated" works, I hope it can be appreciated as such.

Please forgive the incomplete translation.

Since I was a child, I have been dominated by an insatiable desire for someone to listen to me and understand me.

Because of this, controlling my emotions has always been difficult, and creating serene Animations became the only way to suppress those feelings.

Through painting, I found work and gained a sense of self-worth, and I finally reached a point where I could remain calm enough to read books. (Come to think of it, it was Tumblr over a decade ago that appreciated my pixel art and built a bridge to my present!!)

However, at some point, I forgot who it was I wanted to understand me and why it mattered in the first place.

As I poured my thoughts into words and delved deeper into reflection, I realized that philosophy and reading could help me in this pursuit of being understood.

However, by the time I reached that realization, I had also acquired an unsettling awareness that language dulls the visual senses.

In fact, it imparted a slight sense of symbolism to my artwork, while dulling its intuitive qualities.

This conflict likely explains why my art oscillates between symbolic representation and intuitive visual expression.

It has grown more pronounced this year. It also explains why I’ve found myself engaging in this sort of self-reflection more often than ever before.

My works exist in a complementary relationship with my self-reflection.

However, this is by no means a teleological approach—it is rooted in intrinsic impulses.

I simply, purely, and genuinely enjoy things like Gas stations on winter nights, side entrances of public facilities, rural port towns, or the colors of 100-yen lighters. That’s all there is to it, and that’s why I paint.

Please don’t worry. Unlike in the past, I would never even consider taking my own life.

I’m too curious about what I’ll paint next. I love my art.

For that reason, I ask for your understanding regarding my extremely poor productivity and my reliance on your support.

Dear friends, thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to the next year together.

P.S.

If you'd like to support my work and activities, please consider becoming my $1 patron.v

Thanks.

“she blew up a planet” okay and? your homophobia is showing

Lesbians can’t blow up the planet, that’s evil. No MATTER their sexual orientation.

No it’s fine
