Morning!

we found a space for May
one that's clean and is accessible and has enough room for all of us and for my cat too, in a great neighbourhood with a big park

i need help with moving costs and med refills, and my birthday is coming up shortly, and it'd be amazing if i could secure this for my bday

💸💕

Meeting an out trans woman for the first time, back in 2017.
She was kind of like a mirror, someone i could easily have been had i been born elsewhere. That was the point i started seriously contemplating if i actually knew what i thought i knew about the whole "trans" thing.

Hey guess what!

Apparently, a "Feb 11" release date with KDP means "It's Feb 11 SOMEWHERE."

Which means NAMELESS is OUT!!! Available on DRM-Free ebook, paperback, and hardcover!!

Nobody survives winter alone!

The technical implications are rather vile as well - like what does it use as a reference for these? Is there actual CSAM in it's training data?

💜🐞

Huh, which game is this if you don't mind me asking?
It feels like Celeste, but the graphics are unfamiliar.

*blushes* I'm glad you enjoyed it.💜

That's the sort of stuff i read in my teens, becoming fully convinced that whatever it is i felt was definitely not being trans. A conviction that lasted unchallenged until my early 30s.
This shit cost me a couple of decades.

It's funny to think that there were actual SCART cables. I only ever encountered the AV to SCART adapters. Guess that's the reason why.

Now why does that sound like my mum that i prefer to keep at least one ocean away at all times.

Or the "grow a pair".

Posting through it is better than crying on top of a mountain.

❤️‍🩹

It does sound like something i spontaneously tear up about every now and then.

A view of the sunset over the sea, with clouds around the sun looking like a pair of hands holding it.

The sky holding the sun in her hands.

It kinda feels normal to me?
I got a long-term cycle, about 2 year long, where i get into a thing, engage hard with it, get disillusioned with it, grab whatever bits i found useful, and move on to the next thing.
Trans community feels like such a thing, and i'm not far from the point of moving on.

Neigh.

Sigh.
I'm emotionally exhausted.
The waiting, the instability, the myriad of things that could go wrong, it's all taking it's toll.

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Yup. It used to be more common in the past, but does still occasionally happen.
Some of the oldest dreams i remember used to be recurrent.

Sure, but it takes one small step from that to get to the "it's an artificial thing made to enjoy the servitude or lack the ability to care about it or something", and then you conscience is put at rest.

Note that most people are ok with eating meat. The arguments for that sound pretty similar.

In retrospect it is kinda scary how many times in my pre transition life i've been just a vague sense of wrongness away from dropping down one right wing pipeline or another.

Well, one option is to retire to a microstate in europe, where the half the stores don't accept credit cards yet and the biggest news is how much fish is in the sea.

Um, the chatbots are saying it now.
It's still meaningless.

"Self awareness" is just having yourself in your model of the world. It's trivial to implement and doesn't do anything special.

What sort of things a good T&S team do at your scale?
Like, how does it translates into physical safety?

Hm, the usual solution is to have an anonymous after dark account; but your curves are literally the unit of measurement of boob size, so it might be a bit... problematic.
