I am not immune to timeline prompt posts. I started HRT when I was 20, and I was on 2mg of estrogen a day for a long time. Attached, we have, roughly: 2 years pre-HRT; 2 years post-HRT; 10 years post-HRT; 18 years post-HRT. Quite happy with the results.

trans women: how old were you when you started hrt and are you happy with your results so far?

there’s a real reckoning to be had as a society with the fact that so many of us will back down if we suspect for even a moment that our opponent is sufficiently prepared to debate, but you’re too ready for that conversation

“Okay Clarke, initiate that takeover.”
“Before I begin, would you like me to switch to hostile mode?”
“Yes, good thinking. The other corporation won’t know what hit it.”
—Clarke, the AI for CEOs doing hostile takeovers.

and “my religion says I’m an entitled to a specific homeland, in a specific place, regardless of who is already there” is an extremely urgent idea to challenge, because if you don’t, the very obvious problems and contradictions within that idea will make you look very foolish

I think one of the most powerful things you can do to further your own personal development and your ability to positively impact the world is to challenge the ideas about yourself and your identity that you’ve been taught since birth

Went on BBC Politics Live to discuss why Zionism is a racist ideology. The anchor and all three panelists looked like they were about to cry at the end. Very weird behaviour.

whenever I visit the (ugh) Palantir (ugh) Museum of Kitchen Ephemera (incorporating the Royal Library of Cooking, Baking, and Jars) it feels like the “dedicated archivists” there have completely forgotten how to store and retrieve the written material. we’re losing recipes!

people think age gap relationships are weird, but back in the early days of humanity sometimes you would fall in love with the dinosaur you rode to work. and people would be like, “you met her on the way to work?” and you’d say, “yeah, I’m at work a lot”

Your weekend reading: over on Instagram, I offered a crucial, incisive, beautifully-presented analysis of the fame-fueled social dynamics at play in this new series of The Celebrity Traitors. https://t.co/j8VQiK6qzz

when I arrived in hell I tried to play it cool by saying I thought the place had a "great vibe, real demoncore hours", but we must’ve gotten some wires crossed because then they stuck me in a room with this scientist and a big metal ball which for some reason seems to terrify him

chilling text I just had to send

@BCWallin Happy Birthday!

[Avery Edison @aedison]

they say the next one’s gonna be a big one,
so you should move inland if you can.
but I have an obsessive compulsion around confronting big things,
so you can see how I’m in a jam.
I’m constantly waiting for the bad news,
and nobody else is as excited as I am.

[Avery Edison @aedison]

@BCWallin exact perfect feedback, what I’ve been waiting my whole life for

[Avery Edison @aedison]

@joolsd oh extremely

this trans stuff has gone too far, the artificial brain I created says it wants to identify as "gender neural"

calm down I’m not “farming a lolcow”, I’m studying the behavior of a member of the popular out group known as “the wretches”

interesting—this article in the washington ghost claims the reason halloween isn’t scary anymore is because this latest clutch of zombies were all raised with too much screamtime

just received by special courier some custom printed personalized business cards which read “it used to be embarrassing to associate with me, but I’m Normal Now!” I’m very happy with the design and quality and delivery, all of that. so I only need to figure out who ordered them
