@allicat-strike

as Hank is and as you might feel. But please remember that is just a small portion of nerdfighteria and only one of probably hundreds of nerdfighter groups. That's not how we all feel. Again, I'm just really sorry you had to see the ugly side of it... and I think I'm upset that the OP is still there (as far as I can tell). *hugs* 

Thanks for reaching out.

Yes, SAN was one of the two groups referenced.

I like some of the people in SAN, but what happened was NOT okay and being told to “just cool off” with zero acknowledgement that there was a behavioral problem really bothers me.

I reached out to Hank mostly on a whim, I didn’t expect any answer, and while I’m slightly disappointed that he just pointed at the old video (It’s a good video, but it’s… not really what I was asking about), but I have been watching the comments on his answer, and I’m NOT the only trans person who is feeling pushed aside by nerdfighters in general. I’m NOT an isolated case and that just makes everything worse. What happened to me was bullshit, the fact that I’m not the only one is tragic.

And I know it’s not all nerdfighters, but there’s a really bad habit among nerdfighters to deflect when they’ve done things that hurt people. I’m sure you know what it’s like when you’re upset and people shove your concerns aside. We need to find ways to stop that as a cultural thing. (Not just nerdfighters!)

Was tagged by the kawaii potato extraordinaire, allicat-strike. Put your songs on shuffle, the first ten are to fall into these pockets, and you're to list them. No skipping! I'll try to drop a youtube link for each, if I can.

First song describes how you die:

"It Makes a Fellow Proud" -- Tom Lehrer (Yikes... sounds like war...)

Second song is your Love Life:

"Nighthawk Postcards" -- Tom Waits (hrm... seems about right. Not about love... but since I don't really have any... mebbe fitting.)

Played at your wedding:

"Dogs Were Barking" -- Gogol Bordello (bwahahaaa... I got a wedding song!)

Add “in my pants” in the end:

"One Less Set of Footsteps in my pants" -- Jim Croce (I'll take it.)

Funeral song:

"Ain't Goin' Down To The Well" -- Tom Waits (True enough, at that point?)

Theme song:

"If I Wasn't Shy" -- They Might Be Giants (OK, mayyybe. Fair enough. :\ )

Song that plays when you think of someone you love:

"Wicked Little Doll" -- David Byrne (Well, that's dark.)

Add ‘with a shovel and screwdriver’ at the end:

"Unravel with a shovel and a screwdriver" -- Björk (I dunno?)

Describes your week:

"Lifetime Piling Up" -- Talking Heads (sooo very accurate and on point.)

Song that plays when you miss someone:

Cinderella: "A dream is a wish your heart makes" What’s that for you?

Honestly, this is going to sound so cheesy, but my dream is to fall deeply in love with someone who actually feels the same way about me too. I want the kind of love you see in movies like The Notebook - a love that consumes you and makes you happier than you ever thought you could be. I want the kind of love that lasts forever. 

Peter Pan: Something from your childhood that you still love.

DISNEY

Merida: What are you most passionate about?

Music. Music is my everything. It’s always been there for me and will always be there for me. I love to sing along and listen to the stories artists tell through their lyrics. 

Thanks, Alli!!
