I'm not dismissing the idea that the state would try to sow discord amongst queer people, but it's a bit suspicious that the accusations are always leveled at women who complain about transmisogyny or push back against the reactionary concept of "transandrophobia"

the "queer community" isn't a politically coherent force to begin with. it's just a broad and largely unorganised demographic, whose main political orgs are a few liberal NGOs and charities, and the odd mutual aid network. the state don't need special consent from the queer community to crack down on trans people, especially not on transfems existing openly, which makes these accusations seem especially opportunistic

we got a full redbox and now we're playing go fish with the redbox movies

chirasul

I would never pay money for a redbox. if you ask politely and are very very persistent (i.e. annoying) they will let you take it away

here's my dad and i taking it away

a redbox makes a wonderful addition to your patio

for those wondering why they're free to take now, it's because the company that made those "chicken soup for the soul" books bought them a few years ago and then completely collapsed so bad they couldn't afford to dispose of or even take the blu rays and dvds out of their kiosks all over.

so any of them is free game because they're all located on other business' property and they usually don't want to have to pay to get rid of them either. so asking the store manager usually gets you the ok to pull it out and keep it.

there was a period of time right after their bankruptcy where you could put in any debit or credit card and it would spit out movies without charging you. you could even put in like an expired or deactivated card, or a visa gift card with a $0 balance, didnt matter, they'd just start spitting discs out. a lotta people raided redboxes for movies for a couple months, with some people doing what me and my brother and my dad did here, taking the whole box and signs and marquees as well. because managers sure as hell don't want a big abandoned piece of trash on their sidewalk disappointing customers. BUT they're also often too cheap to pay someone to remove it. so they just sit there.

luckily there are no shortage of freaks like us who will just take them away on our own volition. we did it all "by the book", too: we set up cones and caution tape, disconnected electricity properly, used an angle grinder to grind down the bolts in the concrete so nobody would trip on them, then cleaned everything up afterward and sealed off the electrical panel so the store would know everything is safe and tidy. though they were hesitant when we were first contacting them, they were honestly very relieved and grateful when we finally took it away, especially once they saw that we "knew what we were doing" (we don't) and look like we've "done this before" (we haven't).

the fun part: the reason why this redbox, in particular, was completely full and unraided is because the computer hardware inside had failed some months before the bankruptcy, and a failing company sure as hell wasn't gonna send a tech out to our podunk dipshit city to fix it, so it was impossible to rent movies or take any discs out. plus, for who knows how long, people were returning old redbox discs to this machine and not taking any out, leading to a much higher variety of movies than your average redbox.

there is a thriving community of redbox hackers and modders out there, as well, creating open-source software for repurposing the machines and not letting their very interesting and robust disc-management hardware go to waste. this one belongs to my brother (who was very annoying persistent and did all the legwork of contacting managers and securing permission) who is a programmer by trade and will be hacking it into a family-access movie library, with whatever discs we want. i mean the machine is completely weatherproof and has a built-in AC unit, it would be such a waste to not try to turn it into something cool.

if we get another one, i'm gonna try to mod it into some sort of art or zine vending machine. the disc boxes are just the right size for small print art or stickers. would make a great "little free library" too.

remember: the rules are made up. act like you belong there and you can get away with anything. this applies to your own life

sorry to stardew valleypost in 2026 but Linus being permanently unhoused in this game is nuts. you can build Pam a brand new house but Linus is stuck in a tent on the edge of town forever. such a vile horizon of small town cozy business owner life. fundamentally the big chain store trying to move in and destroy the local economy is no different from the town itself if you can’t even build the 1 unhoused guy a place to live

I think there's an interesting conversation to be had about how games have "editable areas" and "un-editable areas" of their world (meaning areas where player action can materially alter the world they inhabit). Obviously, making everything editable for every game is a lot of work and a huge increase in scope for potentially very little or no gain, which is why this distinction exists in practical terms.

But if we understand that this line has to be drawn somewhere, then it means you have to think what it says when certain aspects of the world are immutable: there are assumptions about what the player character considers acceptable, what is within the player's reasonable control, the political and economic environment of the world, etc.

Like whatever the protagonist's political position in Disco Elysium, he's never building a house over the timespan of the game. It's just not a thing he is economically or logistically capable of doing.

But by contrast, constructing buildings is a typical activity in Stardew Valley, yet, aside from exceptions like fixing the community center or Pam's house, essentially all the building you do is about expanding your privately-held agribusiness capital. Which does say something about the ideological space the game exists in. (And is part of the wider discussion of what it means to be a "comfy game", honestly)

yknow i really like tom bombadil and a big part of that is how much he fits into LotR's framing narrative... like, it seems so obvious to me that tom bombadil is an important folkloric figure in a culture that the in-kayfabe "original narrative" passed through to become the version "translated" by tolkein, and in that light everything about him and his dissonance and his status as this strange disconnected interlude make such perfect sense, right? that at some point someone in a culture that expected tom bombadil to be in every epic story wrote or told this tale and felt obliged to include him, and by the arbitrary ravages of history that's the version that's survived to this day... to me it does so much for LotR really feeling like an ancient epic embedded in a specific cultural context and history...

so do you "love trans women" as in you like to fantasize about being fucked by a Scary Predatory Tranny, or do you love trans women?

mousidy

gonna push harder on this one cause I consider myself kink positive, but I don't consider kinks to be beyond critical thought. and I think if your kinks align very closely with the narratives spun to oppress trans women by the right wing propaganda machine, you should examine that, especially if you proclaim to love trans women

we live in a culture that relentlessly ascribes dangerous, heavily sexualized stereotypes to trans women. it's honestly pretty mundane and unshocking that people would find this tantalizing and that it would inform their sexuality, just as it's mundane and unshocking that these stereotypes inform any other area of how someone thinks and feels. and I do think it's everyone's responsibility to unpack how their perception of trans women has been impacted by this. yes, even in the realm of kink and sexuality

mousidy

transmisogynistic stereotypes are not heavily sexualized by coincidence. they're designed to be psychosexually powerful. the things that make them tantalizing are the things that make them so dangerous for trans women

Everybody talking about how diy hrt is so haaaard and dangerousssss is lying btw it's literally fine. Yes even for testosterone. Do you know how many cis dudes are taking grey market steroids? Nobody gives a shit unless you're going through customs or already getting pulled over for something else

tlirsgender

Also the whole "taking t is dangerous for your health" thing like. It's not going to turn your blood into pudding and kill you. Do you know how much higher than the suggested max/cis male dosage you have to go for anything weird to start happening? You are not going to accidentally overdose on a sex hormone your body already naturally produces. Your body will start converting it to estrogen (which still isn't ideal, sure) Long before it reaches that point. It's Literally Fine. Do your actual research on this don't let detrans grifters scare you out of at least Reading About It as a possibility

You can also get bitcoin via cashapp in like two seconds, yknow, if you don't want to email some dubious website your banking information. None of this is as hard as they want you to think it is

I also like to point out that the HRT you see online is generally legit, especially if you're using a source that has been approved and vetted by the community. If it's not gray market stuff that's just the actual medication, but from another country, then it's almost certainly something that was made with a level of care and safety. People will take DIY vials and send them off to be tested in labs. People have made sure that this stuff is safe and they wouldn't be recommending it unless it was something that they felt was safe and effective.

tlirsgender

^ Yeah literally. It's not like. Being made in a bathtub or something. It's just dropshipping. I've Heard about homebrewed estrogen being Fine anyway but you can literally just order medicine from other countries
