So grateful to @apapertrail and @CatapultStory for giving me the chance to share some complicated feels!

[Audrey "Mal" Olivero @apapertrail]

There are pieces I edit at turtle speed because I can’t stop lingering on a scene, like I’ve found a very beautiful, loving place that I might never find again.
@elanorbroker’s essay on finding the space for boyhood as a trans mother is one of those:

you know it seems like an AI video of a trained fighter beating the shit out of a specific identifiable trans woman should probably be against the TOS

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@AlanaFeral That's a key part of the RuPaul coded camp

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@OrinKerr I just read 'proximate cause' in a non-law context and shed a tear, it was so beautiful

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

fully convinced there’s some Heritage committee focused on repackaging and pumping out retrograde reactionary tumblr queer/ 2nd wave feminist discourses for the tiktok generation as part of the overall push to drag us all back and erase the last three decades from current memory

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@archaicf0ssil very much so yes!

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@hecubian_devil the way it seems like we're actually getting a huge wave of Woke Again on so many fronts but only in destructive ways and almost always to attack trans people.... suspicious!

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@AmusedToDeath1 like, I got to a similar % and knocked out the big four West Coast metros but the payoff just isn't the same as The Epicenter

@thefemiurge No NPC ever call me a tr@ñny

@uncanny_eli it's simply not reasonable to presume that somebody in the US shelled out tens of thousands of dollars for their surgery at this point, or that it's only accessible to people with money

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@uncanny_eli a very large swath of American trans women now get this covered through insurance too including low-income public assistance plans like Medicaid, and the out of pocket for that wide insurance group can be a couple thousand to even zero

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@forcedmasc And just totally blowing past the fact that the UK actually paid attention to this and literally said no you're right that would be weird, so you're banned from the womens too

Millennials killing the being horrible parents industry

[Grant Bailey @grantjbailey]

I... don't know what to make of this. Survey of teens shows they are arguing less with their parents. 2010: 85% of boys argued -> 67% in 2024 🤷‍♂️

@archaicf0ssil I somehow usually overlooked the "I am an accessory to murder" beat in the line. Boss shit

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@AmusedToDeath1 That’s western lands policy in a nutshell. A hundred million people and the wellbeing of ecosystems, history, wildlife, sustainable future all on one side and one single asshole on the other, but people vote in right wing presidents who always side w that asshole

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@archaicf0ssil Even then, it eventually breaks containment

@AmusedToDeath1 And then the PNW is just on a whole other tier with their iconic line of majestic world heritage volcano peaks all in a row and also right there on our major city skylines

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@AmusedToDeath1 “Ethnic supermarket or niche bakery” and how is that different from their whole deal

[reasonably well-adjusted lawyer @noraesque]

@AmusedToDeath1 I hear their stereotypes. I live in the US PNW and my closest walkable bakeries are Vietnamese. What now Eurofriends
