When I was 13 we had to burn a load of trash, including a newspaper that had an article featuring a full page picture of the most stunning punk woman. I stood downwind of the fire breathing in the smoke, hoping some magic would make me wake up looking like her. You know - normal teenage boy stuff.

Oh, they're happy to let you get to the information, so long as you pass through the gift shop on the way there. And the duty free shop. And the other gift shop. And the toll booth. And the pre-crime unit. And the public survey. And the charity store. And... what was it you were thinking of again?

Will probably delete this but... does anyone else find their gender stuff becomes much more intense when their partner or someone in their household is at a particular point in their cycle?

Overwhelmed with the sense that the internet has become a way for the discontent to let off steam just enough that they don't actually start to influence anything or threaten the status quo. Oh, and that dropping stones into the pond to try to make waves is an utterly thankless task. Happy Monday!

This sounds like the coolest thing. Can we do this, but for trans folk overthrowing our corporate overlords?

"Enthusiastically parroting and trying to import Trumpian-style moral panic is as far removed from feminism as you can possibly get."

Claudia Winkleman. She'd laugh at the funny bits.

When it hits hard.

Not at pride. Thankful for those that are.

Does anyone else think "<Movie> Ending Explained" videos are a complete waste of oxygen?

I keep thinking a sequel to Weird Science would be interesting if done right. Lisa would find modern kids attitudes both endearing and perplexing. She'd think ChatGPT was a pocket calculator. She'd despair how some of the nerds had turned out. And she'd definitely turn one of them into a girl.

At the start of the week I came up with a really neat story idea for doing gender stuff without the usual tropes and wish fulfilment bits.... ... and after one of *those* weeks, I can't remember what it was. It would have been amazing, honest.

Hey there baby transes. "We all start somewhere" implies you have to go on a journey. Sometimes you just have to figure out where you already are. Next March I will have been "figuring it out" for thirty years. Yeah, I have bad wardrobe decisions older than you are.

I was hoping for some wins this week. Exhausted.

It's not the sort of look that gets the most likes, but this outfit possibly saved my life. I had been so lost...

It's as though someone made being stupid a national sport.

I'm seeing this, and all I can think is "How can I get my hair to look like that?"

Nearly everyone I know is hanging on to a job, or out of work. Not thriving. Not building a career. Not optimistic. Not building new things. Not excited about projects. Not hoping for a promotion. Hanging on. We could be changing the world, but we're forced into survival mode.
