Might I draw your attention to this excellent Queer Villain Pride Flag art? by @distressedegg

From the explanatory notes:
"WHAT THIS IS:
"An activism thing, except for when it isn't.
"A freaky sex thing, except for when it isn't.
"An avenue for personal self-actualization through identity experimentation, except for when it isn't.
"A manifestation of the slogan "be gay, do crimes".
"A coalition of people who grew up seeing queer-coded villains in media and were like "fuck it, big mood".
"A hopeless but fun attempt at community-building through campy theatricality in our nightmarish modern times.
"Bwa ha ha ha ha ha, etc."

This is such a #mood for me I don't even know how to handle it except by screaming "TAKE MY MONEY YOU MONSTER!" and running away to crouch by the mailbox.

🦄 olá, meu nome é nicola. você pode me chamar de nic ou nico se quiser.

🌈 sou uma pessoa #queer, #trans, #nb, #multissexual, #a-espectral, #gorda, #neuroatípica e branca.

💊 tenho transtorno #bipolar, #borderline (#limítrofe), de #ansiedade e #depressão.

💻 sou de 1989, ou seja, tenho 30 anos no momento desse texto, me formei em design digital, trabalhei cerca de dez anos como front-end developer, mas atualmente estou na estatística do desemprego brasileiro.

sempre fui uma pessoa de esquerda só não sei exatamente qual vertente, pois acho que ainda me falta muita leitura e estudo. por enquanto sinto afinidade por ideias do comunismo e ecosocialismo.

💁🏻 tirando tudo isso sou mais um exemplar comum de millenial, uma pessoa que vive com os olhos grudados em serviços de streaming e com o smartphone grudado nas mãos. meus guilty pleasures são otome games e jogos de ficção interativas.

⁉️ quais minhas linguagens?

seriously grappling rn with the idea that most folklore about demihumans (like faeries n shit) could have been inspired or influenced by normies having unexpected interactions with neurodivergent, queer, and disabled folks living outside of “regular” society, i.e. hiding out in the forest for their own safety

@revolverocelot having a fursona is super valid. And kinning with a fictional character is super valid.

But it isn't your spirit animal.

Also, Karen?

You don't have a fucking spirit animal. No character from a book or show is your spirit animal. You don't get a spirit animal.

I have one. But it was given to me through ceremony.

You do not have one.

I don't care how much you love Tina Belcher.

She's your inspiration. Not your fucking spirit animal.

um pedido de sugestões:

o que vocês querem ver num site sobre transtorno de personalidade borderline?

so! a new project i'm working on is a #MastoTips guide!

i've got the basics down, and i'm still organizing a little and formatting

i will continue to add as i go, and you can suggest things or add them yourself (esp for things i don't use/don't know about) as long as you're not a doink about it

you can also suggest guides/things to include at the end

when we see ✍️ playvicious in someone's server blocklist we're already lifting the cover off the suspend button

feels like when folks say they want more poc on fedi what they really mean is "...who will assimilate & won't talk back"

playvicious rejects white respectability & it doesn't escape us that this makes large swaths of fedi feel anywhere from highly uncomfortable to downright pissed
suddenly folks care about "fediquette" a lot more
suddenly those (un)spoken rules start mattering a lot more
suddenly "they're misreading the situation"
suddenly "they're trying to stir up shit"
if someone gets rebuffed for their racism - whether intentional or not - and they exist in other axises of marginalization suddenly those axises have more weight

reminds us of how our last job started out with 8 Black new hires including ourself
we noticed that more questioning & critical someone was the more the eyes of supervisors remained in their direction
& that more tiny infractions like being a few seconds late that might've gotten overlooked if it were anyone else now really mattered
when someone raised issue with how they were being treated in comparison to the rest of the training batch & went through the ~proper channels~ they were soon gone
8 became 6 became 4
production week started with 3
by the end of the month it was down to 2
when we were dumped onto another company & subsequently laid off it was just us

the difference is that on fedi upholders of whiteness lack to ability to hold basic survival over our heads to try to force us to behave the way they want & lack the power to prevent us from building communities

this makes them very mad
& well...
that's too bad~
they can cool off with a nice cold permablock

Hello! I’m doing another casual survey, this time about identity journeys.

https://forms.gle/yv14erZ3jHMCLg5N6

All trans and/or nonbinary people are invited to take part! If you’re not cis, please do take a look.

Thank you!

meninas hoje vou ensinar como se livrar de lidar com homem chato em festas. Vcs vao precisar de:

1 video game com jogo de futebol

tava no banho pensando na vida quando tive um insight de que minha tentativas de parecer uma pessoa mais masculina não tem só a ver com a minha vontade de me distanciar do meu gênero designado mas também de parecer mais "forte" e capaz, já que eu cresci ouvindo aquelas barbaridades de que mulheres são fracas, não podem fazer um monte de coisa, tem que se comportar de forma recatada e todas essas baboseiras

(Caveat: I am not a linguist - I am repeating what I have been told and has struck me as credible.)

The prefix "trans-" comes from a Latin preposition meaning "across" and attaches to a stem to create an adjective - for example, "alpine" to create "transalpine", "on the other side of the Alps" (from Rome). The prefix "cis-" is its mirror - "cisalpine" means "on the same side of the Alps" (as Rome).

In conversations about gender, these words have been used to modify the term "gender" to create "transgender", meaning "across gender" (from one's assignment), and "cisgender", meaining "within gender" (that one was assigned). Because nobody likes saying a three-syllable word when a one-syllable word would do, these are frequently shortened to "trans" and "cis" in ordinary conversation, but remain /adjectives/, not /prefixes/.

Why does this matter? Well, it's not the most important thing in the world, but it matters because formations like "transwoman" and "transman" have a long history of being used for that most fundamental of anti-trans purposes: implying that trans people are not their actual genders. After all, "transwoman" is literally an entirely different word than "woman". (One that looks weird as a noun because grammatical norms say it should be an adjective, but never mind.) The change of wording from "transman" to "trans man" matters because it reflects a change in /thought:/ this is not some odd kind of being with a gender like that of a man, but trans'd; this is a man with a descriptor, like a tall man or an autistic man or a cute man. A trans man is a man and a trans woman is a woman in the same way that a trans athlete is an athlete, a cis comedian is a comedian, a short person is a person, and a belabored example is an example.

I hope this is informative to some folks.

welcome “cishet” loved ones (who are educated and respectful regarding queer issues) to join in genderfuck and queer expression. you never know who might enjoy wearing different clothes, being referred to in different ways, and discussing the restrictions that binarism has placed on our joy and self expression.
