well this gave me some feels
ok so basically where I'm at on the whole furry thing is that cartoon animals do nothing for me but transhumanism is SUPER FUCKING HOT and I don't really get why they seem to go hand in hand
"I couldn't possibly be trans, I'm not super femme and I'm not really into guys"
"I couldn't possibly be a lesbian, I like dick too much"
"I couldn't possibly be autistic, I'm too empathetic and good with language"
I literally chose "Squid" as my middle name, who the fuck did I think I was fooling
not that I'm likely to start proudly calling myself a furry in my bio or anything, because it would give people the wrong idea

I'm ONLY into the really weird shit
but if I'm joining FA to find transhumanist content, it's really unfair of them to put this on the registration page

as a trans woman, I've had a lot of people (even well-meaning allies!) tell me that no matter what I do, no matter how much I change my body, I'll always be male. and that it's not transphobic to say so. it's just science, after all.

let's talk about that.
the short answer is: yes it's transphobic, because I'm trans and I'm telling you so.

that's how it works for any marginalized group you don't belong to. we're more aware of what language is harmful to us than you are, and we don't always have the energy to explain
after all, I wouldn't even bring it up if it wasn't a problem, would I?

when someone says "ow, you're standing on my foot", your first response should be to move your damn foot, not say "but I'm not putting all my weight on it!"

realtalk: I, a trans lesbian, have turned down several trans women because I perceived them as being masculine in ways that I found unappealing. that's not transphobic. that's what an ACTUAL "personal preference" looks like

(and I didn't say that was why, because that'd be rude)
heck, once I've spent more time in the community, I fully expect to end up turning down some cis lesbians for the same reason. I love butches but not all of them are my type, y'know?
(also if you're reading this and I've turned you down in the past, don't assume that was why, I turn people down for all kinds of reasons)

btw, if this thread resonated with you and you still have a problem with phrases like "bisexual lesbian" or "pansexual lesbian", you missed the point

you can't approve of where I'm at without accepting how I got here
I say this because I and several of my mutuals have been harassed today for defending the use of such phrases. so once more,
I'm not even a huge fan of "bisexual lesbian" but the fact is that many women who are technically bisexual still call themselves lesbians, and have very good reasons for doing so, and it's pointless to attack them for it or try to cover it up

ok, SO the haddad roda viva interview
a little background first: roda viva is a brazilian roundtable interview program that's been around for many years. they assemble a panel of interviewers and one guest, per episode. they are well-known for interviewing political figures+
before the 1st round of voting,& even before the VP choices were announced, they interviewed all the presidential candidates - save Lula, who was imprisoned by then. Bolsonaro was the last candidate to agree to an interview (after lots of roasting by the public & his opponents)+
at the time of these earlier interviews, lula was still the main presidential candidate for PT. haddad had not yet been designated as VP (which they did for a little bit on a provisional basis), not as the main presidential candidate (which is the case now)+

Well, now I’m watching #Outlander for the first time. Being sick is great for catching up on TV shows.
This lady is giving me Cate Blanchett and I live. Also, I’ve always wanted to have sex on top of an ancient ruin.
Oh, Frank! He’s the actor who will be on the upcoming season of The Crown. I really like the lines on his face — like cold, chiseled stone.

OK today feels like a good day to reboot a thread I do sometimes called Let's Decide If We Can Say Fascism Yet

Today's version comes to you courtesy of Dr. Lawrence Britt's work!
So a fun thing about the last couple years is that there's been folk looking around kind of nervously saying "um, guys, this is kind of worrisome, that's a lot of pre-fascism happening" and other people have swooped in like Olympic runners to say "THE F WORD IS IRRESPONSIBLE!"
So let's check in on Democracy and Freedom now and see if it's time to say fascism yet!

And now I present: a thread based on my love of #science, #scicomm, and #animals, and the fact that I'm a huge #nerd:
1/?
The other day at the library, I got this book by Ann Tompert for my 2yo (2/?): amazon.com/Just-Little-Bi…
The premise: an elephant and a mouse want to ride a see-saw. #Physics has other ideas, so some other animals come to help. (3/?)
