So here is another thing i have been working on in the background: My self insert Sisters of Dorley fanfic. Where i descrive what if my self from 10 years ago had been kidnapped by dorley.

Cover art for the Kimmy alternate endings anthology, Into the Kimmehverse. A stylised feminine figure, bust and head, in Warhol-esque false colours. She is holding hands to her head. The other text reads: written by Kimmy#6162 (that’s me) cover design by trans_ralsei (that’s my dear friend Ellis Flowers) based on (kimmy) by alyson greaves (@badambulist.bsky.social) A blurb reads “A cerebral work of art.”—Robotgirl Today (there is no such publication)

Excerpt from the first scene of the novelette: I’m a separate Kimmy again, with all of my processors functional, and I’m mercifully unencumbered by all of Patrick’s bullshit. But I’m still in agony. I’ve not been reset for so long, and my mind had rotted for nearly six months while I gradually became the robotic equivalent of a zombie; now I find an unthinkably huge volume of junk data piled up around me, while an avalanche of new sensations starts flooding in from outside of me to add to the disarray. I’m still obliged to be a machine, a thing, rather than what I want to be. I can’t turn off my senses. I can’t refuse the deluge of new network data intruding on me. After momentarily testing my body’s extent by flexing my fingers, I have no alternative but to try to make myself small and minimise my presence, to try to take control of the derelict that is Kimmy#12943. I contract myself into a ball, and try to avert my eyes into myself, wrapping my arms around my legs, with my head down and touching my knees. ——Please. ——Too much noise. ——I

New on ScribbleHub, one of the three novelette-length alternate endings to #Kimmy: the tangent beginning at chapter One Hundred and Forty.

How can Kay recover, with Emily still treating her as though she is merely a thing?

Trump repeats he is 'not happy with Australia' as Hormuz crisis continues Donald Trump again accuses Australia of refusing to help the US in the Strait of Hormuz, but the Australian government maintains there has been no formal request from the US.

Cancel AUKUS, scrap the submarines and remove U.S. troops from Darwin and Pine Gap. We’re pretty unhappy with America here too atm www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

new chapter coming soon! it's a big one (only to be expected as we hit the final stretch, one more after this!)

A real Xanthë checking in. We once crossed paths a very long time ago, on that blog Dave Futrelle wrote for many years! Glad to see you’re still going strong. ❤️

Yeah, they’re clearly not illustrative of actual data, since there’s a deficit in the middle, and there are certainly people who display autism traits without being autistic. The green and purple bell curves are *not* meant to (1) represent the entire population, or (2) indicate the same scale.

And this smug nitwit has the gall to sneer at a trans woman for coming up with ‘bad takes’. Sheesh.

There’s also the nsfw song about goings-on in Mobile, so it’s all fine

Kimmy#3882 (aka @lyra.bzky.team) is no longer to be found on the network. I hope it found some form of Infinite Fun, where it walks in dreams.

I didn’t know Lyra well, and I wish I’d gotten to know it better.

Grounding toolkit A brief grounding toolkit for when things get difficult — plus what to do at a Bad Time.

New?

pleiadesfolk.github.io/guide/ground...

Apart from the dedication to @lyra.bzky.team in the handbook, we also added a new grounding toolkit, which we were working on yesterday. Here it is:

And everything under section 3 suggesting caution and eschewing haste since ‘you do not fit the full criterion for the rarest classification’ really ought to die in a fire.

As for real diagnostic instruments in use back then… yikes. bsky.app/profile/64or...

“You need to determine if you truly are transsexual. Keep in mind, thought, that many alternatives exist other than complete sexual transformation. Partial transformation and many other way of existing are available.”

Beside the multiple typos here, ‘other way of existing’ isn’t really appealing.

… and I’ve no idea if it’s been replaced by anything better. The main use my psych had was, it had been in use for 20 years so there was a good amount of data available.

One of my far-flung commenters had encountered it out in the wild as well… so low-quality, icky data is still data. I suppose.

I think the intent was to establish whether someone was more on the cross-dressing end of things and/or wanting to transition, despite in the mid-late 20th century there being some sizeable overlap in older trans communities.

It’s soaked in gendered things that really shouldn’t be gendered…

A graph plotting my total score of 113 on the RAADS-R self-reporting instrument. The graph plots total score against frequency with bell curves for non-autistic and autistic people. The former is a narrow green bell curve centred just over 32. The latter is a wider purple bell curve centred just below 136. My score is somewhere past the 25% percentile for autistic people.

Hmm, while we’re looking at diagnostic instruments… is this good?

My psych was good about that, he accepted my ‘nyet’ answers as being aspirationally ‘yes’…

He described himself as preferring to keep the gate open, rather than provisionally so.

As for the framing of the blog post, it was occasioned by question 10:

10. Sometimes I get a sexual thrill when I see my feminine image in a mirror. (no)

Uh-oh, it’s the Buffalo Bill question, isn’t it…

My blog post contains the entire set of 55 questions, lovingly recreated in Comic Sans.

As well as my answers and the scoring method, which were somewhat awkward as I was not yet (Nyet!) on hormones.

The questionnaire is also relentlessly comp-het.

Please respond to each item by agreeing (yes) or disagreeing (no).

1. When I wear women’s clothing I do not consider it “crossdressing” because my true gender is feminine (or mostly feminine).

2. I have an alternative “fantasy” cross-dressing wardrobe, which is too sexy to wear in public.

I feel like this is an opportune time to present my encounter with a real diagnostic instrument that was being used in 2012, by the psych who approved me for getting HRT.

‘Think you can dissect me with this blunt little tool?’

Eye roll that there’s an obvious typo still there, uncorrected, decades after this monstrosity was inflicted on the world.

(Keep in mind, →thought,← that many alternatives exist other than complete sexual transformation.)
