perhaps

trans women in their early 30s are genuinely the hottest category of people in the world (not coping)

a 30 something trans woman hitting on you is basically like being visited by an angel who entrusts you with the gods most holiest missions and you should never take it for granted

wait is this fucking Gil’s Speakeasy?

it’s got to be??? I lived right above this abt ten years ago, like we’d hop down to the alley and in their side door without ever touching the sidewalk??? And now I’m suddenly missing it so much.  

wait is this fucking Gil’s Speakeasy?

the conflagration around twitter and all its clones got me back here and just… remembering how I still do love this site more than any other platform, it works with my brain in a nice cozy way, thé separate from the world weird detached anonymous rabbit hole nature can be nice, but it’s also why it can’t work as a replacement unfortunately…

Found a very nice little niche of writing-adjacent trans femme twitter, plus an expanded advocacy and news trans ecosystem, and now trans people are getting run off the elon musk nazi show with basically nowhere for that community to land. Like probably more than any social media breakdown ever I’m like seriously distressed about losing my community and friends

i fucking love how earnest tumblr culture is. we are the site of wizard roleplayers and heritage blogs and gimmick blogs and stupid fucking puns and catgirls and silly made up holidays and day-of-the-week posts and site lore and every single bit of cynicism or cringe at that is always met with "why are you here then?" "if you want to be miserable, go be miserable out of my way" and i think thats nice. i think its nice we like being happy.

my only addition to the proliferation of pride flags is that honestly someone should just start making pride flags that are for the most part inoffensive but then like give the meanings of the stripes like absurdly controversial microcommunity discourse. like "here's my pride flag - the stripes represent all the different types of attraction in the split attraction model, the maroon represents that bisexuality represents being attracted to the two binary genders, the green stands for lesbian bed death, and the stars represent the amount of hypervisibility that trans women use to take up all the space and oppress afab trans people via invisibility and the labrys represents lesbians who are into men (cis men only, obviously). nothing it in represents gay men because they are not oppressed" creating perhaps the most hated object in the queer community and uniting us all

okay wow. spread this like wildfire for the people in the back or else you dont care about our community, why is nobody talking about this. the discoursegender flag
