GOD MADE TRANS PEOPLE FOR THE SAME REASON HE MADE GRAPES BUT NOT WINE WHO ARE WE TO DENY THIS DIVINE ALCHEMY OF THE SELF?

In the early second century, in response to the question "Why has God not made man just as He wanted him to be?" Rabbi Akiva said "For the very reason, the duty of man is to perfect himself."

I wrote this nearly a year ago, at the time I had never read the work of Daniel Lavery, Rabbi Akiva, or other queer writers who has written similar things.

In fact, a few people accused me of plagiarizing, but it didn't bother me.

It didn't bother me because it was proof that it was real. It was proof that throughout history there has always been fruit and wine, there had always been bread and wheat, that there had always been people like me who looked at the magical transformation of one to the other and said "there I am, just as God intended"

[image: book excerpt: "As my friend Julian [K. Jarboe] puts it, only half winkingly: 'God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation.'"]

under my administration we would outlaw bloatware

there’s no reason that a fresh install of android should have 72 apps

also locked apps

no app should be unable to be removed

if you don’t want google drive on your phone you should be able to uninstall it

Your cousin Throckmorton, the skateboarder.

Apparently this is a running gag in math textbooks

Oh, no, my friend, @aceyuurikatsuki . It’s not just that. It is so much more. Settle down and let your friendly neighborhood x-ray tech explain you a thing.

Throckmorton’s Sign, otherwise known as Throckmorton’s Principle, does in fact have to do with dicks. Because it is fairly normal for a dick to show up on a hip or pelvis x-ray. But the thing about Throckmorton’s Sign is, it’s not just that the dick is visible. It is a legitimate diagnostic tool.

Let me explain: let’s say a person equipped with a penis is in a car accident and has right leg and right side hip/pelvic pain. Their doctor will order x-rays. Unfortunately, sometimes fractures are so small that they can be missed, or, because the patient is in such bad shape and the images obtained aren’t the best quality, the radiologist can’t be sure for one reason or another if what they’re seeing is actually a fracture.

So what do they do? They look for the dick.

You heard me correctly. The dick.

Throckmorton’s Sign is when “the penis points to the area of pain.” So if the above-mentioned AMAB patient’s xray aren’t displaying a clear, obvious fracture, but their dick is pointing to the right side, 9 times out of 10, the injury or fracture is on the right hip or leg area, so then the radiologist will focus on that side while reading.

Now I know what my non-radiology followers are thinking. “Ace, this sounds like bullshit. This can’t be true. You’re lying through your teeth.” But I swear to you, it is 100% accurate. I have seen a positive Throckmorton’s Sign multiple times with my own eyes over the course of the past 7 years. Ask any x-ray tech, and they will probably agree with me.

Your dick is good for at least one thing, and that thing is helping a radiologist diagnose your upper femur, hip, or pelvic fracture.

This had been a PSA.

Some Laura Jane Grace moods

  • Getting kicked out of church for playing heart shaped box by nirvana for a talent show
  • Wearing formal wear traditionally associated with the opposite sex chilling in her bedroom while playing guitar and writing in her journal
  • Being so desperate to start a band that she made a shitty literal cut and paste cassette with just her screaming and an acoustic guitar
  • Making a blood pact with the devil in order to wake up a “real woman”
  • Setting fire to her birth certificate in order to turn one of her concerts into a protest for trans rights
  • Being so desperate to be in her own element that she at one point put on her mother’s goddamn WEDDING DRESS
  • Pulling out a knife to homophobic jocks but being too damn chicken to actually stab anyone
  • Showing up to random fast food in full punk gear going “I’m broke. I’m in a band. I need food.” And refusing to leave until they gave her food
  • Accidental gay sexual tension between her and one of her guy friends only to find out that the tension wasn’t so gay after all
  • Being born and raised in the south but refusing to say that she was southern
