LIONIZE

i remember when i was a child internet safety was like "if you even hint at the country you live in, you're gonna get kidnapped and murdered", and nowadays it is encouraged or even necessary to give corporations every single personal detail if you want to use anything because if they can't sell your information they cry so hard they throw up

I got a 404 from that link, so here’s a PDF. I will add, because it wasn’t obvious to me until I started reading, that overall this is a (very valuable) pedagogy resource.

If you want to write a fic where the trans guy tops you don’t need my permission but you will get my encouragement. In fact here it is right now. It’ll be fun and it’ll turn out great. Also there’s a lot of trans guys who will feel seen by it. You got this 💙

Oh hey also if/when you post it you can share the link with me here!

not to be all "these two words will change your life" or whatever, but I promise you, programming in "good catch!" as your response to people correcting you/pointing out errors or whatever removes so much friction from interactions, and comes with a delightful happy meal toy of "not hating yourself so much for making mistakes"

I use "I stand corrected" a lot. The mild silliness of the outdated language makes it work for me.

You know how we call things "pseudoscience"... the media analysis that's being done on twitter and tumblr should be pseudohumanities
