Headlights are just too bright now. We gotta regulate them.

(And before anyone says it’s just an aiming problem - no. Like I apologize to the headlight aficionados clearly lusting after lighthouses, chernobyl, or the death star, but no amount of aiming is gonna fix the fact that the moment your car encounters any kind of hill, curve, or bump, my retinas are vaporized by a shade of blue-white previously known only to god. Just accept your limits and settle for a soft orange like the rest of us)

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly

oho and now you’re questioning my adverb usage? you? you?

you fucking dare?

you try to change ‘tears’ to ‘years’ for no reason but don’t catch ‘imporint’???

hey quick question gdocs

i don’t have screenshots, but one time i typed the word “table” into google docs in the process of writing my story, and google docs carefully underlined the first four letters (“tabl”), and asked me if perhaps i’d meant to write “table”

yes, google docs, that would be why i’d written “table”

out of curiosity i accepted the change. the word now read “tablee”

I finally looked through the transphobe emails that were leaked by Maia. I wanted to add it to TERF Records because the Women's Liberation Front was included in the list.

I want to highlight this (Bold added by me):

I've seen Cathy Brennan criticizing WOLF for working with conservatives and religious elements, but that's the only way I see forward. It's also the only way I see to win this. And it's my strategy. I know there's all sorts of talk about "losing gay marriage," but the way this is going there isn't going to be a lesbian community if the trans problem isn't stopped. As people fight over something that "might happen," more and more women just like the person close to you are getting sucked in and harmed. I feel like people need to start recognizing this immediate harm over the "possible harm." My strategy is I am going to continue to build activism bridges and inroads with the right. I've come to believe they realize the trans problem is far more sinister than anything gay people are doing. They've definitely had my back and they've been using me to do as much damage as they can. You've no doubt seen that in the news. We shouldn't treat them like they're incapable of change.

So yeah, literally making active strategies with right-wingers in the name of women's and gay rights as they're under attack by right-wingers.

Three quick things about this:

  1. The TERF movement has worked with, and gotten funding from, the right wing for a LONG time. Heron Greenesmith has done a massive amount of research on this, culiminating in this article.
  2. Maia's a "mentally ill queer polyam bi lesbian anarchist kitten" with it(/she) pronouns. It's on Tumblr at @nyancrimew too, but it hasn't posted the emails here because it prefers to use Tumblr for non-depressing things.
  3. The link at the top of OP's post goes to Maia's website, which is well worth visiting -- both for its thoughts about this collection of emails, and for the adorable animated cat cursor. But the link on that page, to the PDF of the emails, is a torrent. And I know not everyone is going to be able to figure out how to use that. So I downloaded them and threw them into box.com. Here's a shortened URL that goes to that PDF: https://tinyurl.com/douche-emails

Okay, but I would pay extra for this driveway.

Um, can I please get every neighborhood kid and animal to come walk across my driveway? Can I get a cat to just run around on there? This flock of ducks did such an amazing job!

I was 18 months old when my parents built their house. After pouring the concrete slab for the foundation, my father, world’s most sentimental man, carried me down into the hole so he could preserve a single imprint of my little baby foot in the house he was building for me to grow up in.

Naturally, I wriggled loose, so what is actually preserved for posterity in my parents’ basement floor is my mad dash through this glorious new mud pit, followed by my father’s footprints in hot pursuit, a visible scuffle where the fugitive was captured, and then my father’s prints returning to the ladder.

I hope some future archeologist finds your parent’s basement floor because they’re going to lie down on the ground and cry about it.

Dealing with auditory processing disorder

LAWFUL: take the parts you heard and turn it into a clarifying question, e. g. "you saw your cousin where?" or "she's writing a what?"

NEUTRAL: "what did you say?"

CHAOTIC: take a wild stab at what the person said, e. g. "you want to baptize a mackerel?"
