my gender expression: attack helicopter

expensive to (re)build, expensive to operate, useless for carrying heavy things, commonly used as a political football, can do an incredible amount of damage in very little time, requires a team of highly-trained professionals to maintain and tune, tends to crash and burn when things go the least bit wrong

but i do look pretty badass

and if you got the skills, i'm fun to fly

TFW you see two of your friends starting to connect and get super flirty over 'that weird shit'~

I'm just gonna be over here, grinning and purring 💞

Six Pokemon scribbled out! I think it'll wait until later to be more finalized though. I want to work on other things first.

Pros about Arcanine:
- big
- toasty
- soft
- strong
- fluffy paws

Cons about Arcanine:
- sheds EVERYWHERE
- but is very sorry about it

This one time I drew me and @Tris_the_mouse being pals and doing what friends do :3

Made a lot of progress drafting up the plans for my clock project.

This is gonna take a lot of time to finish.

Did you know that union organizers are universally more attractive than scabs?

this took me twenty centuries to draw, but i finally did it

i drew a glaceon and i think it looks alright (the eyes still look a lil jank tho)

and this totally isn't what i'm gonna use for a pokesona, noooo

(also a certain mastodon instance would highly appreciate this i'd think)

I responded on The Other Site to a request for things trans people want cis people to know about us. Gonna share it here also:

It's fine if you don't understand. I don't understand it either. That doesn't make it go away, though. Being trans doesn't emerge from some theory or understanding. It just is. The stories we tell about it are maps, not the territory.

hmm. imho, trans girls

trans culture is meeting someone and you immediately start discussing IPv6 subnetting and embedded hardware design

goo.gl is shutting down: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-goo-gl-url-shortener-closing-25532.html

I'm not here to bash Google, I'm here to say:

Consider whether you actually need a URL shortener. Using them in any kind of long-lived document (or even a toot if you leave yours up) makes them more fragile.

There might be a need for them in some contexts where input is confined, or if you expect someone to have to type in the link manually, but overall they're best avoided if you don't specifically need them. Not only are they fragile, but they remove whatever information about where a link might lead that the URL would provide.

If a link is TOO long, consider cutting off all the UTM metadata or other tracking information that doesn't serve to locate the content.

Spring.

when a furry sneezes the sound it makes is achuwu send toot

Look at me in my nasty gross oversized man shirt

I just realized I've never dated a cis white man. I intend to continue this time-honored tradition indefinitely.

fired: calling me “sir” because you’ve mistaken me for a man
inspired: calling me “sir” like Marcie does to Peppermint Patty

my spam folder: “Want hot sex tonight, and new pussy every day?”
me: “but I don’t want bottom surgery at all, let alone from the internet!”

Last August, PLoS One published an article by a would-be Andrew Wakefield, suggesting that the internet is turning cis kids trans.

Today, the journal published a lengthy correction notice [1], a revised version of the article [2] “in which the author has updated the Title, Abstract, Introduction, Discussion, and Conclusion sections,” and a formal comment [3] dissecting the original study’s methodology.

In addition, the editor in chief published a blog post [4] stating in part that “the issues with this article could and should have been addressed during the original peer review process. . . . In this case, as a journal we have failed in this responsibility when reviewing and publishing the original article.

“As Editor-in-Chief of PLOS ONE, I fully and sincerely apologize to the trans and gender variant community and others affected by those shortcomings. We should have handled this better.”

The girl I went out with last night did my nails. The accent got chipped, but they're really pretty, don't you think?
