missing her gentle waves

TRA here means "transracial adoptee" fyi, just in case you're used to seeing that in another context

my toxic trait is that i don’t care how old a post i interact with is on any site ever

i used to spend all my time on deviantart. which (at least at the time) was set up so that you could see an art piece from 2006 and an art piece from yesterday side by side in the search results. then when DA shit itself i moved to the site that’s still cycling “do you love the color of the sky” around. i don’t care that the timestamp is literally right there on sites like instagram and twitter and i think it’s weird to care if someone likes a tweet you made two months ago. the internet is my art gallery and i can and will slap heart stickers on your decade old mona lisas, i don’t know fast paced web culture etiquette and i’m not willing to learn

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

hey can y’all maybe ask yourselves why when people of color say things like “this movement I generally agree with has a racism problem” your gut instinct is to downplay and dismiss and say it’s only a few bad apples and that we’re co-opting the larger conversation by talking about it? can y’all examine this instinct in yourselves for a second?

sorry i will never understand cis grief. your daughter is living her best life and going around with friends and feeling like a human being. your son doesn’t feel like he needs to crawl out of his skin anymore and can actually smile. your children are happy and no longer see their existence as the worst thing in the world. why are you grieving this lmao. grow up.

This is just the tiniest fucking window into how transmisogyny affect people. This is about a space that was held by trans people and for trans people where the transphobia targeting a transfeminine person was prioritized over everything else.

i miss swimming.

GLaDOS voice: "Would you like to see some artwork I generated? I've heard from other test subjects that AI-generated artwork produces an uncanny valley response in human viewers because they can't perceive it as fully real. They've told me that it looks absolutely hideous to them, that they can't imagine anything more disgusting than AI art. But, well I've been practicing and wanted your honest opinion. Feel free to let me know how ugly you find this by ranking it on a scale from 'vomit-inducing' to 'eye-bleeding'." A robotic arm lowers from the ceiling holding a hand mirror up to Chell's face

awesome zine!!! important note: blended formulas can be much more risky with J or D tubes, especially J tubes, as the small intestine is worse at dealing with any possible bacteria that may be in it, and tends to be much worse at breaking things down, hence why J fed people often need peptide or even elemental formulas!
