Somehow, my apartment sucks up all the heat from every other apartment. It's 14 outside and my apartment is 25°. I haven't turned on the heating once while I've lived here, I've even had to open the door to the balcony in the winter because it'll still get up to 25 even when it's -40 out. If I leave the fans on and every window and the balcony door open all night - I may be treated to a nice and cool 15 lol finally cool enough to wear a comfy sweater inside instead of barely anything.

spoilerI never cared about or for my dead name. People would mispronounce it or misheard the mispronounciation and people would get it wrong all the time. I never once, ever, corrected them. Before I cracked my egg I would've said I just didn't care about it, after transitioning it was nice to pick a name I actually vibed with!

I was looking through names and found one that I thought meant oceans of wrath and that's the one I went with (amongst other reasons). Turns out it doesn't mean "oceans of wrath" even a little, but I do like the idea of it lol

It's not the kind of thing we'll ever have to really countenance, at least our lifetimes, but I do wonder if we should terraform Mars or other moons at all instead of preserve them as they are. The technical feasibility notwithstanding, as purely a matter of what is "right." Also, if we could terraform Mars we should probably focus on re-terraforming Earth lol get those GHG back to pre industrial levels and re-wilding and recreating natural environments.

Not really related at all, but I remember passing by the Colleseum a while ago. They were doing repairs and renovations. And I thought it was so strange that instead of building it back to what it was when it was newer they were preserving it so that it looked like ruins still. Like a facsimile of ruins. But why preserve it at all if you want it to look like ruins? It'll continue to ruin, maybe we should think of it like a grand patina and that one day it will no longer be with us.

It's a new thing, it's more accepted especially amongst the set that would go to college. It's nice!

There are still plenty of kids without supportive parents and it still sucks for them. But it's getting better

I know it works so fucking well as a fashion label... yknow if it wasn't a word for something awful lol, like syphilis or sciatica or cyanide (I guess cyanide could be dope for a ironic alt fashion thing)

spoilerI see where you're coming from with this. But it's probably more appropriately wrapped up in like white privilege than gender transgression privilege. Cause, black cis women don't always conform to white femininity standards (for example) and they get thrown in the gender transgression bucket and they aren't even close to attempting to transgress gender norms, they're just living. Same could go for butch lesbians, I guess, it's not hard to figure out who is "acceptable" to the hegemonic culture and allowed to be more butch.

But it's not like people need an excuse to oppress the marginalized, it's right in there in the name already - they're actively being marginalized right now.

Every day I get closer to opening my clothing store Dysphoria for trans people and cis people not served by the shitty ass fashion industry

spoilerWe will never lose by holding together and finding links with other communities. All of our collective struggles share the same root. Those who seek to cast off and cut us off from each other are active enemies or just regular morons to be treated with derision and distrust until they are re-educated. Not one of our enemies in the struggle for trans lives, gnc lives, queer lives etc will make the distinction between the "good binary trans" and anyone else, we know what we will be called and we would all be marked with the same pink triangle just as we were so many years ago
