did gumfuck not tell you?

Thought "you're not an ally if you're dating someone who is homophobic" was a cold take but some people are really struggling with the concept

not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.

I love trans voices. I love pre-HRT and “started HRT a month ago” and sore voices lowering and carefully trained voices and I love trans laughter and trans singing and I love the in-between androgyny of some voices and I love MY voice and I love my friends’ voices. I love husky voices and medium voices and high pitched voices and gravely voices. I love range changes and I love the expressiveness. I love trans voices.

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.
