@wisepissmage It depends? I had an internship at a podiatrist's office where I verified insurance in a back room all day and they still made me wear scrubs. I never laid eyes on a bare foot the whole time I was there.
@DoomsdayAtm@facetedcarapace Oh, there are definitely evil terf pagans. I was thinking more about aggregate perceptions, especially on social media, hence the term lib-coded.
@barfieldgussy Lest I get pegged as a clueless birthday boy talking over trans women's issues, I must stress that the politically disastrous transmasc effort to make the term "pregnant people" the default in the English-speaking world was also an example of this.
@Sun_king97@facetedcarapace Now that I think of it, the concept of expertise is relatively preserved in modern divination. You become an astrologer or tarot reader through study and practice, not "the aliens came to me in a dream and told me."
This is going to be a very feral Cancer season. I can feel it in the air. Much like the moon card, which has a very primal energy, wolves howling at the moon. Cancer is not only fickle, but very creepy sneaky and odd. The beast is your friend. Strange roads ahead!
the “practice having no fear” mural of alex pretti on nicollet ave in minneapolis is finished, a few blocks north of where he was killed by border patrol during operation metro surge. inclusion of a medicine wheel makes me wonder if it’s a native artist, couldn’t see signature
@paleozoon@Alexios1080@ThatchEffendi Minnesota still has woke Norse pagans. In their defense, they have real Scandinavian ancestry a lot of the time and Lutheran services are very dull.
"Love has never been a popular movement, and no one’s ever wanted really to be free. The world is held together, really it is, held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people."

@NeoSpinozan@njsilvadyne Maybe having a Tumblr account at the time predisposes me to remember the summer of 2014 as this shocking overnight swerve where if you had an apolitical special interest blog or espoused 2000s-style liberalism they put you in the contraption.
I used to assume this was clinically depressed behavior and make heartspace for it, but I'm starting to recognize it as a tactic of manipulation and social control.
"Trust me, I accept you, but no one else will. Give up now."
I am having so much trouble with a certain kind of white lib doomer woman who cuts me down with "ummm we live under fascism sweetie are you stupid" whenever I express the revolutionary optimism that literally keeps me alive as a transsexual... two different book clubs RUINED
